The Morning Buzz: Thursday, November 1
![]() |
And on Thursday, we'll have a special guest stopping by right at the start of The Morning Buzz - super middleweight boxer Joe Calzaghe!
WBO champion Calzaghe faces WBC and WBA super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler on Saturday at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The unification bout can be seen live on HBO 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Calzaghe (43-0-0, 32 KOs) will be making his 21st straight title defense. He earned the WBO super middleweight belt in 1997 and has won half of his title fights by decision and half by KO. His last fight came in April when he defeated Peter Manfredo Jr. at Millennium Stadium, dropping him with a TKO in the third round. Kessler (39-0-0, 29 KOs) will be making his fifth title defense of his WBA belt and just his third of his WBC title.
It's The Morning Buzz, where you never know what subjects we'll hit. But you know you won't be able to turn away, because you never know what's coming next. This show is all about you, SportsNation. It's your morning water cooler. Talk about what you want -- Buzz will take your lead. So settle in and enjoy!

Goooooooood morning!
Buzzmaster (9:58 AM)
We're starting a few minutes early before we bring in Joe Calzaghe for a part of the Morning Buzz.
ELO (ORLANDO)
Happy Thursday Buzz,SN and welcome Joe.Hope everyone has recovered from Halloween festivities.

Goooooooooood Morning, SN!
RAY GORDON REID ( JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA 32277)
COMMENT GO JOE CALZAGHE AT 10.10 A.M
Tim (Wilmington NC)
Morning buzz, be back in a while. Keep the baseball topics hot and juicy
BJ Carmel, NY
That couldnt be Ray...he spelled CALZAGHE right.
Phil (Syracuse, NY)
Poor turnout last night, LOTS of left over candy. Not good for the diet.
David (NYC)
I think I have a candy hangover, Buzz. Oh, no. Wait. That's just a regular hangover.
Tony (NYC)
Morning Buzz and SN!!! Early start Buzz, nice
Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
OK, we're getting Joe right now!
Justin, St. Louis
Joe, did you change anything different in your training for this fight than any other fight?
Joe Calzaghe (10:03 AM)
No, not really. I trained at home, like always. Nothing's changed. I trained the same amount of time. We had no problems. I'm looking forward to go.
BJ Carmel, NY
Congrats on your storied success Joe...What type of tempo should fans expect to see in the early rounds on Saturday? The early KO seems to be your calling card.
Joe Calzaghe (10:04 AM)
That basically depends on what Kessler does. I always like to start out fast, that's not going to change. The early rounds will be cat and mouse. Either way we both want to control the center of the ring, but I don't give way to anybody. I think the start will have a mixture of everything.
Big M (Atlanta)
For American fans who don?t really know you - what would you like them to know about you?
Joe Calzaghe (10:05 AM)
I give my all, 100%. I'm pretty versatile. Most fights I have are good fights. I like to use my hand speed and have a good work rate.
Shawnee,OK
Do you see your self fighting in the states any time soon and if so against why? Hopkins vs. Calzaghe at Light Heavy Weight would sell very well.
Joe Calzaghe (10:06 AM)
I would like to fight in the states. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. It would be nice, but it's all about business. First and foremost, it's about the fight on Saturday night and we'll go from there.
Justin (St. Louis)
Joe, what do you think of the up and coming bout between Mayweather and Hatton?
Joe Calzaghe (10:06 AM)
Mayweather is an excellent fighter. He's fast. But I think Hatton will give him some trouble. Mayweather will be the favorite.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Can you tell us what you do in training?
Joe Calzaghe (10:08 AM)
Sometimes I train twice a day or sometimes three times a day. I run 5 miles in the morning then go to the gym. I'll spar 12-15 rounds. I've sparred 100-120 rounds in the last month getting ready for this fight.
Chris (NY)
Joe, what is your pre-fight routine? Are you nervous all day?
Joe Calzaghe (10:08 AM)
On the day of the fight, I try to relax, have a good breakfast. I carbo load. It's a long, long day. I put my iPod on. Try to relax and stay focused.
Bernhard (Germany)
Assuming you'll win against Kessler: Who's next?I would like you to fight against Hopkins or Pavlik first and then against Dawson.Everyone knows that Dawson is the best LHW. I'm particularly curious who's got the faster hands: you or Chad.
Joe Calzaghe (10:09 AM)
At the moment, I'm concentrating on Saturday night and we'll think about that after that. The big names out there are Kelly Pavlik and others.
mike, clifton ,nj
joe, with both of you in your primes, what would happen if you fought the great marvelous marvin hagler??
Joe Calzaghe (10:10 AM)
I'm not sure. He's one of my favorite all time fighters. I would like to say I would have been able to win the fight, but I don't know. It would have been a marvelous fight.
Big M (Atlanta)
Who are some of your current day, favorite fighters to watch?
Joe Calzaghe (10:11 AM)
Floyd Mayweather is a talented fighter. Pacquiao is an excellent fighter.
Joe Calzaghe (10:11 AM)
I think Pavlik is very exciting. I like his style.
Matt (Oakdale, MN)
Joe,how concerned are you with Kessler's power? How will you approach Kessler as opposed to how you approached Jeff Lacy?
Joe Calzaghe (10:12 AM)
I'm not, to be honest. I've taken punches in the past. At the end of the day, he has the same knockout record as myself. So, I'm not concerned at all.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Do you think the growing popularity of mixed martial arts is hurting boxing?
Joe Calzaghe (10:12 AM)
No, I don't think so. I think there's a place for both sports. It's a different sport.
Kyle (Kansas)
How have your hands been throughout your entire training? has there been any soreness?
Joe Calzaghe (10:13 AM)
They're fine. They're 100%.
Joe Calzaghe (10:13 AM)
This is going to be a great fight. Tune in on Saturday!
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
Thanks Joe!
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
There was a lot of bustling going on there in the background. Sounded like Joe's had a busy day today.
Vik (Fort Myers, FL)
Thanks Joe. Good luck!
Jordan (Peoria)
Buzz anything good happening sports wise on Sunday?
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
I haven't heard of anything, you?
Carl (Lansing, MI)
Well, I guess I know who I am rooting for now.
Patrick (DC)
Buzz, is the fight on HBO or HBO PPV?
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
HBO, I believe.
E-Dog (Partly Sunny NJ)

Read that Base Jumping article, and while I don't want to jump off a perfectly good bridge, I really want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Open heart surgery huh? Anybody from in here the patient?
Carl (Lansing, MI)
Can we re-run the Ray comment about nummy tummy?
Kevin (Dallas)
Buzz, did you know that the other 24 other teams are still planning on playing this Sunday?
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
How dare they.
Phil (Syracuse, NY)
This just in, Syracuse football is not very good.
BJ Carmel, NY
Great Job E-DOG...
Vik (Fort Myers, FL)
Was Grady Little totally shanked in the back like an Oz inmate or what? I love how convenient his "voluntarily retirement" was for the Dodgers.
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
I know. He retires just as Joe Torre becomes available and the Dodgers allegedly become interested in his services? Wow! The luck that the Dodgers have!
Steve (NJ)
E-Dog, well played sir. Well played
Kev (PGH)
wow, i really type very sloppy.
Neal (Philly)
72 points in the first quarter! That's almost more than Notre Dame has scored all season.
RAY GORDON REID ( JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA 32277)
COMMENT RAY TO BUZZY MASTER COLTS VS PATROITS
Tommy (ATL)
Great Kid Nation episode last night
Pete (NY)
Way too many bite size snicker bars last night leftover last night.
Kev (PGH)
Phil, going to the Pitt-'Cuse game sunday. wonder if anyone will score at all?
Grady Little (Newly "retired")
Hey, this big check came in the mail!
Phil (Syracuse, NY)
I think it's funny that Torre took a contract for less money to coach the Dodgers.
Tim (Wilmington NC)
Tori Hunter will be a cub, Arod a dodger, Schilling a phillie and bonds unemployed.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Eeewwww. Hunter a Cub? I wonder what Kevin says about that.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So, Grady Little leaves and the Red Sox win the World Series. Does this mean we can pencil the Dodgers in for the World Series next year?
Zach (Tampa)
due to someone's post yesterday, i've had a hankerin for a charleston chew for 24 hours now
Carl (Lansing, MI)
Is the boxer we just talked to on the right or the left of that photo?
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Left.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
My son sucked a full Reese's Cup through a tiny hole in the wrapper. Pretty impressive feat.
swish (detroit rock city)
My friends aren't talking to me cause i'm 8-0 in fantasy football and have Brady, Moss and Welker.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Are you in a two team league? How did you end up with Brady, Moss and Welker? Who are these nimrods you're playing with?
David (NYC)
Neal - Notre Dame has a grand total of 66 points for the entire season.
Patrick (Louisville)
Someone has to buy the Cubs first
RAY GORDON REID ( JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA 32277)
COMMENT THE DALLAS MAVERICKS KILLED CAVS 92 TO 74
hENDE (oh)
How unhappy should I be that my wife purchased only non-chocolate based candy for halloween? Sweettarts, tootsie pops, and jaw breakers can only get you so far in life.
Steve (NJ)
And Lowell will be in NYC...irony is funny.
BJ Carmel, NY
Question for the Buzzmaster...Is in impolite to attach a happy halloween note and candy on the door if you are intensely watching a bootleg copy of American Gangster?
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Not at all.
Kevin (Dallas)
Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.
Scott (Raleigh)
D$$$ is picking Kessler...I can't see it, but I hate to go against him!
Kev (PGH)
Damn ray, I forgot that basketball thingy started. I hate pro basketball!
Paul (Ohio)
Buzz what costume did you wear last night? I saw some kid wear a yankee uniform. He told me he was a red sox fan dressed up as a loser
swish (detroit rock city)
Why were people knocking on my door last night? I wasn't expecting anyone so I never bothered to look.
Hende (OH)
Nimrods = delightfully underused derogatory.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Swish...WE DON'T CARE. Why don't you tell us about your bad beat at the poker table while you're at it?
Liz (Big Apple)
The Met's have still yet to refund all their fans for the post season tix- you think they are trying to save money to sign Arod?
BJ Carmel, NY
And for those snitches out there...when I say bootleg, I really mean advanced screening.
E-Dog (Partly Sunny NJ)
Buzz attached pictures of treats on his door, so he won't see anything wrong with that.
Pam(Princeton)
Going to Cbus. tomorrow and will be in the 'Shoe on Sat. to watch the overrated, untested, cupcake playing, but still #1 OSU Buckeyes play Wisconsin. GO BUCKS!!
Hutch (Hartford)
Joe Torre turned down a one year 5 million dollar deal, he will sign for four years, so no loss of money in the long run.
Carl (NJ)
Fun Fact: Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.
Brittany (Indiana)
College basketball is so much more entertaining than pro
RAY GORDON REID ( JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA 32277):
COMMENT COSTUME WAS LEPRECON FOR RAY 10;25
Carmello (Denver)
Who's a snitch? I done told you to stop.
Mike (Happy Valley, Pa)
Buzz, what kind of poptart did you have this morning?
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
Hot fudge sundae.
Liz (Big Apple)
Paul.. that's huge Shenanigians- Yankees Fans and Red Sox fans would not wear the other uniforms-unless they got paid 52 million for 4 years for it.
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
So, what kind of loot did you guys get last night?
Tommy (ATL)
Eddy Curry has vowed to shed the 20 pounds he is putting on right now
Bobby (New Orleans)
Was is wrong to dress up as a Mormon for a Catholic University Halloween party last night?
Liz (Big Apple)
I watched a *pre-screening* of American Gangster- i give it 1 1/2 stars
E-Dog (Partly Sunny NJ)
Fitting since Ray is already green.
Carl (Lansing, MI)
And the race to type in "snitches get stiches" is on....did i win?
Tim (Detroit)
No boss here today, but my stab you in the back secretary is..i need to figure out a way to sneak out.
Tom (Ames Iowa)
Gave out poptarts as treats last night. some very disappointed munchkins
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Damn Scotsmen...if they only knew how many lives they've ruined over the years.
John (Cloquet, MN)
I sure hope Torii Hunter signs with the Twins!!
Jeremy (Boston)
Joe Torre didn't turn down the $5 Million......he said no to a decrease in pay. You always do that.
chauncey (teaneck)
I went to the NYC parade last night crazy people live in the city
Kevin (Dallas)
My neighbors are cheap! Lots of tootsie rolls. Just because you give my kid a handful of crappy candy doesn't make you any less cheap!
Carl (Lansing, MI)
The girlfriend chose for us to give out packets of Hot Chocolate...actually went over ok...
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I didn't get anything. I stayed home, read a few chapters of a book, and watched the Pacers beat the Wizards.
David (NYC)
I walked around last night with just normal clothes on pretending I was crying. It's amazing how so many people recognized I was a Bostonian.
Tal (Boston)
Best job ever = mine... I'm getting paid to go to the Colts/Pats game on Sunday.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Buzz, I'm a man. I'm 23. I don't go trick-or-treating.
Neal (Philly)
I got the leftover candy since hardly any kids came to the door.
Gilbert A (Washington D.C.)
My swag is phenomenal right now.
Marc (Tx)
Do you think Tony Romo is worth the $67 million contract he just signed?
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
No, but all the more power to him for making the Cowboys believe that he is.
Jeremy (Boston)
I went as a 7 year old from NYC....all I kep saying was the Yankees are never gonna win in my lifetime....
Kevin (Manassas)
Jim Hendry has already said that the pending sale of the Cubs will not affect how they approach the off-season. I really doubt they spend as much as last year, or get A-Rod, but they will make some moves and spend some money if necessary. Go Cubbies!
Brian (Enfield, CT)
I didn't get any loot. I came back from Philly so I took 3 showers.
Tim (Detroit)
So Golf would be a good name for a Strip Club then Buzz..
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
Ummmmmm. Sure. Nothing like a strip club with men dancing....ummmm. Good idea Tim.
Kev (PGH)
Big Ben saw Romo's contract and just smiled really big.
David (NYC)
Is it okay for a man over 20 to dress up and go trick-or-treating if it's to have fun with his kids? I say yes.
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
100% yes. Anything that's done in the name of spending time with your kids is 100% OK.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Way to think it through, Tim. Jeez.
Larry (Delaware)
Weather alert. snow is predicted in the North east next week. film at 11
Carl (NJ)
The Cubs cant afford ARod...too much money invested in Sori, Fat Z...and their current 3B. Sorry guys, LA seems to be where he will land.
Pam(Princeton)
My son and his two friends went as "Coke 'n Pepsi and DJ Carbonation" They had fake grills and bling and when people answered the door, they started rapping.
Jeremy (Boston)
What kind of Strip club are you going to that you want women forbidden Tim?
Carl (NJ)
Yesterday a few kids showed up at my door, their fathers were at the curb...one of them was wheeling a wagon around behind him, it had a case of beer in it. How great is that?
Nate (Madison)
Ok for a 20yr old to go trick or treating if his bag is a glass and his houses are bars.
David (NYC)
Next year I plan on going as a 65 year old Clevelander...."I remember the last time the Tribe won....". Oh wait, that actually makes me sad.
Matt (Philly)
I'm at a point in my life where i can buy candy that i want to eat and not have to walk around for hours to get crappy candy
Liz (Big Apple)
I don't think there is anything wrong with an adult dressing up for halloween- that's why they make ADULT Costumes....
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
Heeeyyyy Ohhhh.
Jake (Canton)
Here on Morning Buzz, the truth always prevails.
Carl (Lansing, MI)
David...as long as you dont actually ask for the candy as well...i am with buzz that it is 100% good.
Zach (Tampa)
why would someone spend 30 million on one great player, when you can spend 15 million apiece on 2 great players? or 10 on 3?
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
Because these days $10 million players are crappy. Doesn't Padilla make like $11 million?
Jim (Portland, OR)
Next year I am going as a Bostonian that died in 2003 and complain how the Sox never won in my lifetime
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
They also make speedos, that doesn't make it OK to wear them.
E-Dog (Partly Sunny NJ)
Grills are teeth right?
Kev (PGH)
nah, the Pirates are going to give A-Rod PNC park for a 8 year contract.
Hugh (Florida)
So I'm circumventing the network proxy here at work to access ESPN.com, but I'm the only one here who could catch me. I don't think I'm going to report me to myself.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
First time trick-or-treating with my 2 year old son last night. Damn that was fun.
Jake (Canton)
Most of Clevelands payroll is under 10 mill and they went pretty far this year, so take that buzz.
David (NYC)
Beer is goodd-no, great! But leave it in the fridge. Don't bring it along in a wagon while trick or treating with your kid.
RAY GORDON REID ( JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA 32277)
COMMENT ANDREW JONES EX BRAVE A RED SOX GOT THAT RED SOX FANS
Carl (Lansing, MI)
I can do this too! "or 6 on 5, or 5 on 6, or 60 on 500-Grand."
Jeremy (Boston)
Of course Adults need costumes, when else is Liz dressing up as Cat Woman? Well, besides Sat night...
Jordan (Peoria)
you might have a drinking problem if...you need a case of beer to get through taking your kids trick-or-treating
Carl (NJ)
Ray, its Andruw.
Jeff (Iowa)
Ray, you can't even remember what you were for Halloween. I no longer trust your predictions.
Hugh (Florida)
Andruw is fat and slow. They can have him.
Tal (Boston)
Wait its November? Where the hell did October go?
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
Good question. I'm not sure myself.
Jim (Portland, OR)
David, that guy was probably combining the two loves of his life: family and beer, but not in that order
Dean (Vermont)
True story. The wife, in her mispent youth, was an extra in a movie shot up here "Sweet Hearts Dance" (with Don Johnson and Susan Surandon). The opening scene is Halloween. Trick or treaters come to Susan Surandon's door. The cute little jar of mustard is the future Mrs.! BTW, she reports that Susan was a sweetheart.
Patrick (DC)
Since there is only one october, will there only be 11 months next year?
Kevin (Dallas)
You missed October Tal? Didn't Dane Cook tell you, there's only one October.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Off to that great big calendar in the sky, Tal.
Liz (Big Apple)
I dress up as Beer girl on Saturdays, Jeremy- Sundays is Cat Woman, get it right!!
Jake (Canton)
I just looked, no Indian player makes more than 9 Million.
Hugh (Florida)
Dean: It would have been cooler if your wife was in Miami Vice with Don Johnson.
Vik (Fort Myers, FL)
Was it really mispent youth if the movie sucks?
Kevin (Dallas)
Susan Sarandon = Hippie
Tim (Detroit)
alright my self-imposed 5 minute major is over
BJ Carmel, NY
Wyclef was also gone til November...
Tony (Boise, ID)
And there's only 1 October...so we have to wait a while for it to come around again.
Steve (NJ)
Fun Fact: I'm an extra in 'Elizabethtown.' They shot scenes at the University of Louisville and I'm in a classroom scene. I'm happy to report two things: Kirsten Dunst is really cool, and Orlando Bloom is even more androgynous in real life.
Hende (OH)
Since there's only one October, does that mean next year the calendar goes from Sept straight to November?
Wyclef
Yo yo, i'm back, quite a trip.
darrelbooth (montgomery,alabama)
coachnicksaban,ofalabama,willbeat,lus,hisoldteam
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And your point is what, exactly, Kevin?
Jim (Portland, OR)
No wonder Liz goes to a ghost therapist
MARK (DENVER)
its not October its ROCTOBER
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
You married a jar of mustard? That is awesome. I was engaged to a jar of spicy brown, but we all know how that ended...
Mike (Boston)
Mark, don't you mean ROCKEDTOBER?
Brian (Enfield, CT)
I was an extra in Dude Where's my Car? I was an ostrich.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Uh-oh, looks like someone's trying to invade Ray's turf. I think we need a deathmatch in the Thunderdome, Buzz.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
I was in a pizza buffet commercial in college. I'm happy to report the pepperoni was delicious.
Liz (Big Apple)
uhhh is Darrelbooth a distant cousin of Ray?
E-Dog (Partly Sunny NJ)
I can't believe Joe's mustard comment made me laugh..what a loser
Dean (Vermont)
O yes...an extra in Miami Vice would be quite cooler, but I guess I'm happy to report that she's much too young to have done that. BTW, her misspent youth had little to do with that movie...and also BTW that little jar of mustard has grown up to be quite spicy...wink wink nudge nudge...
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
Heyyyyyy Ohhhhh.
Patrick (Louisville)
These people are now lieing. I believe the guy marrying the spicy-brown though.
Matt (Philly)
Did the morning buzz purchase a short bus??
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
We invented them, drive them and live in them.
Kevin (Dallas)
I have to have a point in here? Am I the only one?
Tommy (ATL)
I was an extra on my high school football team.
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Finally some honest posts in here.
Jordan (Peoria)
No Matt, we are just hitching a ride on yours.
Hoppy (Luck, WI)
buzz, gave away candy, pencils, and some toys last night for halloween. one kid was walking away and said "pencil, huh". i wasn't sure how to take that.
J.J. (CT)
Is it bad that the highlight of my life is when I met Jessica Biel at a 4th of July party (back when she was still doing 7th Heaven and not a huge star) and she tripped and fell into me and I saved her from falling on the ground? Do you think she remembers that? Do you think if I ever met her again and mentioned it to her I'd have a shot? Yeah me neither. Oh well...
Neal (Philly)
I warmed the bench on my traveling soccer team, only there was no bench.
E-Dog (Partly Sunny NJ)
I'm an extra in life...after all, aren't we all extras?
mike (alabama)
Tom is the modern day Montana while Peyton is the modern Jim Kelly + 1 ( one Super Bowl more ). In the end I would take Brady.
Jeremy (Boston)
In a past buzz chat, I was a former NFL TE....quite an achievement.
Jeff (Iowa)
I think that restraining order may not help your cause, JJ.
Patrick (DC)
I think Hoppy's house is getting egged once that kid gets to middle school.
Britt (Altoona Pa)
i was an extra in a wiffleball tourny
Brittany (Indiana)
Were they at least mechanical pencils or were they the kind you have to shave?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I am the most famous person I have ever met.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch today is another microwave meal, this time it's a boneless pork rib with corn and mashed potatoes.
Vik (Fort Myers, FL)
I want some free tacos today, but I suppose I'll settle for some decent fajitas from the local hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint.
Carl (Lansing, MI)
Annabella Sciorra just got googled a ton more than ever before.
Luke (Statesboro, Ga.)
It's a coworkers birthday, so we're going whereever she picks.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
My son got some raisins too jerermy. Ate the box discarded the raisins. Good move I thought.
Hugh (Florida)
Lunch chat tells me that everyone in this chat must be obese.
Steve (NJ)
hmm...cheeseburger. Interesting. Slap some bacon on that and I'll call it lunch.
Hoppy (Luck, WI)
had another whippersnapper last night that had to be like 15, nearly as tall as me, with a pillow case for a bag. kid wasn't dressed up and i asked him what he was, he said a teenager, i told em he was lucky i hadn't heard that one yet. no costume no candy at the hoppy house
