The Morning Buzz: Wednesday, October 23
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!
Buzzmaster (12:09 AM)
The Phillies took Game 1 of the World Series and MLB Insider Keith Law will be here on Thursday to breakdown what happened and look ahead at the rest of the series. Also, Mike Sando will cover the NFL and SportsCenter's Steve Levy joins The Show! All that and much, much more starting Thursday at 10 a.m. ET with me, your fearless leader, Buzz!
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Goooooooooood morning!
Pink Floyd (Comfortably Numb)
Is there anyone out there?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I call shenanigan's on Buzz calling himself fearless. The Oilman frightens the HECK out of Buzz.
Kev (NYC)
Was it just me or is having a WS in a dome completely take away from what October baseball really is? Boring, boring game.
Nate (Madison)
You're late.
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Deal with it.
Patrick (Louisville)
Woke up, popped some tums, rolled into work, so I'm coffee-less today. Feeling kinda slow...
Steve (MA via East Hartford)
I don't think "breakdown" used in that context is supposed to be one word.
Douglas AK (Rich)
this day is already backwards.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
BALK!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Good morning BN. I can honestly say I don't have a bounty out on anyone.
Mr. Clean (W/Febreze Freshness)
I am the ultimate disinfectant, I'll make this chat safe for guests and chatter alike, I am Mr. Clean and I approve of this message.
Justin (D.C)
Buzz - did you see Carl Crawford totally mess up his intro in the pre-game?! Hilarious...'Carl Crawford, batting left field..."
BJ (Carmel, NY)
I had an ephinany last night...It was the first time I watched a baseball game in probably 10 years where I was not rooting for one particular team...It was really nice to watch the game for what it is, made me feel like a kid again.
David (Houston, TX)
One free taco for everyone in America...yet another reason why this really is the greatest counrty!!
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
By breakdown, he meant the nervous kind
Fake Brian (Madison)
If I have a son I'm going to name him either Cole Zambrano or Carlos Hamels
Johnstone (Bucktown)
So according to Greenspan we are in a once in a century credit typhoon... Im not sure I like that.
Kev (NYC)
Ahh saving money in an economic downturn gives me a good feeling.
Patrick (Louisville)
And a good day to you too sir!
Dave (Tampa)
Good Morning Buzz. Are you really fearless? What about that creepy Burger King? Or clowns?
evan (fort lauderdale)
i dont understand why the world series doesnt start at 7pm. Is anyone in the mountain or pacific time zones even watching these games?
Jack (NB Canada)
The Office preview: Michael helps Pam get a part time job at corporate so she can afford to go to art school. Michael and Holly get an early start at the office on their date night. After the office gets robbed, Michael decides to hold an auction to raise money for all the items lost.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I'm tied on the career list of World Series hits with both BJ Upton and Evan Longoria.
Nick (NJ)
Buzz, what happened to the Thorpedo yesterday?
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
All day meetings. He'll be back next week.
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
I'm so happy everyone keeps picking against the Phillies. It's going to be so much more satisfying when the Phillies win the whole thing.
Nate (Madison)
I have a feeling I'll go to Taco Bell that day during those hours, and the guy or girl working won't know what I'm talking about.
Kellen Winslow (Cleveland)
Mr Clean, hey man, if you aren't doing anything later how about heading over to Cleveland? I hear they could use some disinfectant.
Jeff (Iowa)
We were watching the WS game last night and I told my wife, I bet someone from New York or Boston calls that a boring game. Thanks, Kev, for making me look like the amazing Kreskin.
Rich (Douglas AK)
I watched the game, it was over shortly after 8:00 PM.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
He had to meet with the Bobs? That sucks.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Zambrano is sweet, Hamels is a giant piece of Pulse.
Patrick (Louisville)
I gotta say. When the series comes around, I almost always root for the NL team. I think its a combo of underdog/anti-DH logic.
Brian (NC)
No one is immune to clowns Buzz.....No one.
Matt (IN)
Good job getting Duff yesterday Buzz. Never knew he was so into sports.
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
Me neither, but he is all over the sports stuff.
Tom Brady's Knee
I wouldnt mind a visit from that mr. clean guy either Kellen. Send him my way
Lucas (Indianapolis)
I don't like the poll about Hines Ward. No he should not be fined or suspended. But he should be retaliated against for repeatedly blindsiding people.
Rasputin (Russia)
Actually, I'm your fearless leader. Nothing can kill me.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Yeah, close World Series games are the suck
BJ (Carmel, NY)
Winslow is getting the shaft...Guys speaks out because the team is in the process of killing him and now he gets suspended?
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
It's the Browns. What do you expect?
Nick (NJ)
Brady has a nasty infection in his knee...hmmm....are we sure he got his surgery done in Cali and not Cleveland?
Chad (Savannah, GA)
Tom Brady has been rubbing knees with K. Winslow.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, Brian's roommate was giving him crap for going to a movie by himself. For once I'm on Brian's side. Tuesday night, nothing on, bored. I see no problem in it. But if it's a Friday or Saturday and you have options, then it's a little different.
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
Nothing wrong with going to a movie by yourself.
Patrick (Louisville)
Hines Ward is one of those guys where if he gets...knocked up!...he would stand up, smile, and jog away.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Get ready to talk pop tarts, sweet tarts and video games at 12:30 today BN. SVP will be in the house!
Matt Damon (W/ Mrs. Buzz)
Yeah, Buzz has to do it all the time when Mrs. Buzz is "out with her girlfriends for the night"
Brian (NC)
There is a wild turkey on the patio behind our office. I'm thinking about letting it in. It's cold outside...
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
Sounds more like Tom Brady was rubbing knees with Pam Anderson.
Hoppy (Luck, WI)
what's crackin' buzz, been out for quite a while, new job (not sure if i can be in here), new baby boy 2 weeks old today. hope all is well in buzznation, sure miss the banter, take care and hopefully i'll be back soon.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Knocked up? You don't just walk that off.
Kev (NYC)
Of course the Browns are too lazy to clean their locker rooms...this is the team that's too lazy to come up with a logo.
Matt (East Hartford via Albany)
Finally, I have returned to the MB after a busy work week. Buzz, I was expecting a 'so says your leader' from you in the intro (and if anyone gets that quote, cue up Ogre).
Michael (New York)
It was close through the eighth inning, then Brad Lidge made it boring.
Jack (NB Canada)
Time to dig out the winter jacket, it is cooling off up here Buzz.
Troy (Pittsburgh)
NFL is becoming a pansy league. Suck it up Tom and Kellen
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
I keep my Wild Turkey indoors at all times.
Brian (NC)
I think you might have been going for JACKED UP!
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
Holy crap...I"m late..sorry brah
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
No problem bro.
Ben (Charlotte)
Buzz, official word from the doctor is a mild concussion. I also had to get a CT scan to check if there was bleeding in the brain. No bleeding, but they gave me a cd so I could look at all of the pictures.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
Well that's good. We were all so worried. Did the good doc say anything about your brain being half pickled?
Steve (NJ)
No, it's acceptable to leave Wild Turkey outdoors in wintertime...free refrigerator
evan (fort lauderdale)
For entertainment purposes, the over/under last nite was 7.5 runs. Very Very good game
evan (fort lauderdale)
I think ben is becomming the new jalter
Ronnie Lott (SF)
C'mon Ben. Just cut it off!
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
So, how did that shift work against Utley, Joe Maddon? Did it fluster Chase? Idiot...
Sean (Florida)
Why does the Phillies catcher even pretend to call a pitch? Its slider, then a slider, then to change it up a little...slider. filthy
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Be careful of second impact syndrome. Moderation is key.
BJ (Carmel, NY)
My office has no heat, so Im tryin to run lay up lines on our Nerf hoop to get everyone warm in here.
Brian (NC)
Maybe I will capture the turkey and take it with me.....Thanksgiving is coming up....
Nate (Madison)
Good thing you're ok. Have to say, based on that post you're brain seems back to normal. But you could always prove me wrong about 5 minutes later.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
What happened to Ben (Charlotte)? Did the crazy girl at the bar hit him with a pool cue?
Troy (Pittsburgh )
Ben your a pansy too. Suck it up
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
Happy for me, I"ve never been concussed
Internet Pilgrim Guy (Colonial America)
BJ, take it from me dude, those turkeys are mean.
Steve (NJ)
Turkey's are mean birds, man. MEAN. Your better off trying to bring a wolverine on angel dust into your house.
Michael (New York)
It flustered him so much he hit the ball out of the park.
Ray (Tampa)
Hey philly fan get off your high horse, Hamels can't win you 4 games in the series. Enjoy coming all this way for nothing.
Sean (Florida)
Buzz, thats his liver he has half pickled
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I've had two concussions. First one I was knocked out setting a pick, second one I was hit in the back of the head with a frisbee (true story).
Robert (Raleigh NC)
BOOOOO to the IPG poster. How could you not use the word "thine" in that post?
Jordan (NJ)
Strawberry frosted poptart with a tall glass of chocolate milk. Breakfast of Champions.
Pete (NC)
I read the transcript from yesterday and I saw a lot of whining about cops. I must remind you that I watched Crash and if you get pulled over, then you did something wrong.
Scott (Brewtown)
Fun Fact: Ben Franklin wanted our Nations bird to be the turkey, not the Bald Eagle
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
That would have been terrible. We'd never be able to eat turkey again.
Tim (Iowa)
Ray of Tampa fame sounds a bit like Kevin of Manassas fame. Very confident with an unproven commodity
Kev (NYC)
Concussion from a frisbee? Hmmm.
Dave (Tampa)
Tonight on Nightline: Frisbee...carefree fun or deadly missle?
Brian (Madison, WI)
I have been concussed at the hands of a female in a co-ed indoor soccer league. True story.
Tom (Chicago)
I tried to concuss my brother once, but his skull was so thick nothing happened. They said he had Homer Simpson Syndrome.
Michael (New York)
Who threw that frisbee, Robert, the Bionic Man?
Anal Scientist Guy (a lab)
Not to get technical, but he hit it out of the field of play. The dome makes it impossible to hit it out of the park.
Jeff (Iowa)
I had a concussion during a football game in high school. Remember only the first quarter and a couple of minutes. Played the entire game, both ways, and actually had a fumble recovery and a bunch of tackles. Came home, had dark circles around my eyes, and went to the hospital.
Ted (Atlanta, GA)
did that frisbee happen to be metal?
Steve (MA via East Hartford)
Just imagine the deliciousness of bald eagle on Thanksgiving though. I wonder if that makes you sleepy too?
Pete (NC)
Tim, the difference between Ray and Kevin is Ray's commodity is in the World Series.
Joshua (Carnesville, GA)
For Chad in Savannah, GEAUX DAWGS
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Turkeys are smart. A worthy adverdsary. Like the man in the black pajamas Dude.
Jack (NB Canada)
Roast Eagle doesn't sound as good...
Steve (NY)
Can we not talk about Turkey? I know it's like 10 AM but I missed breakfast, and I'm STARVING!
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
Yes, Buzz, but we'd be able to eat eagle
Robert (Raleigh NC)
My buddy is a cop and I emailed him your rant from yesterday Buzz and he said "sounds about typical"
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Did you ask him why you never see the drivers who are going 90 on the highway cutting people off getting pulled oveR?
Nate (Madison)
That girl jacked Brian up, yes in soccer. Felt bad, but it was one of those things you see happen and you die laughing until you realize that he might really be hurt.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
That would mean John Madden would make an Eagleducken on Thanksgiving.
Steve (MA via East Hartford)
It sneauxed in Maine on Tuesday night.
Dave (Tampa)
Maybe the frisbee was a hubcap?
Pete C (Newark DE)
It terrible when you walk Chase Utley to get to a guy with 47 Homeruns because he looks completely lost at the plate.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Eagles can only feed like two people. Turkeys can feed many, many more.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Jordan, strawberry frosted poptart with a tall glass of chocolate milk for breakfast? That's the late night snack before bed.
Kev (NYC)
The guys doing 90 are all friends of cops.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Robert the guards aren't techinically cops.
Nick (NJ)
Robert means he just turned around and showed the warden the computer screen.
Mark(HOF City )
Sounds like Robert's cop friend is also quite typical.
Nate (Madison)
In prison, the frisbee was probably a dinner plate.
Pete (NY )
Robert has a buddy who's a cop Must be a prison guard gone bad
Scott (Brewtown)
The guys doing 90 are all off duty cops
Jack (NB Canada)
ONB?
Kev (NYC)
Buzz, give us an ONB sampling.
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Let's do it.....
Lady Buzz (Home)
Fearless leader? Shenanigans!! You ought to see him when there's a mouse in the house.

Neal (Philly)
Buzz, unfortunately I won't be able to chat again. I just want to thank Cole Hamels for bailing out Ryan Howard, Pat Burrell, and Jimmy Rollins last night.
Tom Brady (on antibiotics)
Peyton's been infected, I've been infected, Kellen's been infected. Buzz, what are you trying to do to us?
Dalton (Cross)
The Gators are not getting any credit after they beat the #4 team in the nation because they moved down 5 spots in the latest rankings.
Herb (P-burg)
I was really hoping State Farm would update those Joe Torre commercials. I'm tired of seeing Joe try to surf and drink wheat grass.
George (Tuskegee, AL)
The World Series theme music sounds like the theme music from Jurassic Park.
The Governator (Random Bunker in Death Valley)
Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers! Ah, you didn't know I was going to say that did you!
Carl Crawford (Tampa)
I'm Carl Crawford, and I'm batting left field.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, WI)
Don't worry MBers, I'm still a part of the ONB. I haven't really sent any comments this week, but I will now. Last Friday was my birthday and on Saturday the Marinette Marines upset the Menominee Maroons 27-23 in the 102nd M&M Game, which is the oldest interstate rivalry between public schools in the USA! Boooooooo Brian and Buzz!
DAVID (PUGH)
IDK
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
My BFF Jill.
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
And that's it...
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
When I do 90 I make sure never to cut anyone off
Patrick (Louisville)
Buzz, if you gave that mouse a cookie...
Robert (Raleigh NC)
He also says he quite often gets called a racist by white guys. Yeah, hes white too.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
Have you seen a bald eagle? They are huge, I am sure you can feed 2 adults and 2 children from 1 of those things.
Kev (NYC)
I read today that despite the *recession*...theres a $62M apartment for sale in Manhattan...Wow
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Commercial starring Mark Moseley for Five Guys is on the radio now. Suddenly I'm really hungry.
Scott (Brewtown)
Zach = Maroon
Ben (Charlotte)
The ONB is becoming infested with MBers
Jordan (OH)
From this moment forward I would like to be called T-Bone
Brian (NC)
I think someone gave the turkey some Cheerios or something this morning. It's just standing at the back door staring at it's reflection
Wayne (Chicago)
I smell bacon. Do you smell bacon?
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
When I do 90, people give me the finger for driving too slow. God I love Jersey...
Brian (Madison, WI)
Not like anyone is going to be surprised but Nate and my other friends left me knocked out on the soccer field and kept playing. Of course I looked like I might be injured, I was out cold. Worse than throwing me under the bus.
Steve (NJ)
Brian, make it a small hat. Turkeys love hats
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Can you imagine eating an fried eagle wings? You could feed 5 people from 1 wing.
Paul (Lorain, OH)
Well, being the co-op, my computer is the first to be taken over by people who need it. See you tomorrow Buzz Nation.
Nick (NJ)
Good thing Fake RGR told the Rays to try again tonight. I'm pretty sure they were just going to give up and forfeit the next 3 games.
evan (fort lauderdale)
Before the concussion, brian was a brewer fan...AFterwards, he started rooting for the cubs
Tom (Chicago)
Yesterday at the Au Bon Pain they burned the bacon. It was not a pleasant smell.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
When I do 90+ I pay real close attention to my radar detector.
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
So, I tried an experiment on the way home last night. I drove only 8 MPH over the speed limit. I passed exactly 2 cars and was passed by 33.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I like how the Florida fan conveniently forgot about that home loss to an unranked team. That might be why Florida isn't in the top five for BCS ratings.
BJ (Carmel, NY)
I have never broken 80...was tramuatized by several horrific accidents by friends of mine when I was in HS...it is the best detterent.
evan (fort lauderdale)
I didnt read the transcript yesterday but i'd say the over under on buzz's schwin doing 90mph is 16.5
Robert (Raleigh NC)
When I do 90+, I'm in an airplane.
Kev (NYC)
If any of us ever get converted to the night shift, we'll be constantly berated as members of the ONB.
Patrick (Louisville)
Where did that come from JB? The BCS sucks anyway. Who cares?
Guy on CT Roads (Last night)
GET OUT OF THE WAY GRANDMA! Oh, its a young dude.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I thought you were going to say you passed three and were passed by 22.
Sean (Florida)
Very scientific Buzz, you missed your calling. You had a future in science and blew it
Scott (Brewtown)
Ahhh....How quickly they fall. Wisconsin is ranked 5th in the BOTTOM ten rankings.
Michael (New York)
I'm looking for writing work and am amazed by how many people want you to write for "exposure." I get exposure here on the MB and all Buzz pays me is in Pop Tarts.
Patrick (Louisville)
College FB. Step 1: Win conference. Step 2: Worry about BCS crap.
Chris (UPenn)
I'm too lazy to ever get a new tire so just rock the donut eternally. Helps to keep me under 60 at all times. Try it
Matt Damon (Bristol)
Buzz, what's the fastest you ever drove a car? Lady buzz likes when I go over 70 with the top down
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
Me and a couple friends once drove to Myrtle Beach for a week of golf, and I don't think we did less than 90 mph the whole way down.
Kev (NYC)
3-22, Buzz has it tatooed
Tom (Chicago)
Wisconsin is lucky. They should have lost to Fresno State too.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I honestly don't care how fast / slow someone drives as long as they are not idiots about it and don't change speeds. I hate when I pass someone doing the speed limit and then 2 mins later they come whizzing around me
Chad (Savannah, GA)
What happens when a 90+ year old (Clinton) does 90+. Does something happen to the space time continum?
Kev (NYC)
* When I'm 90...im gonna be doin 90...* -Nick Swardson.
evan (fort lauderdale)
my wife always makes fun of me for driving slow....So when i drive over 80 mph, she freaks out and tells me to slow down...i cant win
Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)
You pansies want to see some horiffic accidents? Just wait til I get done kicking the crap out of you. I might leave you able to scream for your momma
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Wow Robert must be in one of those upscale prisons where you get a golf cart to get you around the yard.
Sean (Florida)
Michael in NY. Thats that same- "we would hire you if you had more experience" pulse that you hear, but if nobody hires you how can you get experience!
Pete (NY)
Hey, what's going on SN?! It's been about 2 months since I've joined you in the chat. The new job that I got did not pan out as it was all cold calling and doing that sucks. One question Buzz, is Kevin from Manhassas OK after yet another Cubs disgrace?!
Nate (Madison)
Buzz is just upset because when he punched it and his Delorean hit 88, nothing happened.
Christian (High Point, NC)
evan: you could leave your wife. See, there's always a way to win.
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
I listen to a florida radio station on the interweb, and during the breaks I hear about all the horrific accidents that occur on the highways during rush hour in florida...they're crazy down there
Matt (Grand Rapids)
My father-in-law turned down the chance to buy Michigan v. Michigan State tickets to go see D-II #1 Grand Valley. It is weird that Michigan is so bad.
Tom (Chicago)
The worst thing that people do is tailgate you until you move over to the right lane, then they get in front of you and slow down.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
That's why I never move over when someone's tailgating me.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I bet Doc Brown never got pulled. All he had to do is just accelerate to 88 and I'm sure he could get away from the cops.
Matt (East Hartford via Albany)
I'm with Robert. People need to pick a speed and just go. It's just infuriating when people's speed fluctuates by 10 mph or more.
Mark(HOF City )
I guess I am in anotheer of my Negative Ned moods. Sorry about that. Some subjects just get me ranting.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I hate when people tailgate on the highway. That charcol smoke gets into your car and the smell stays for weeks.
Kev (NYC)
What if it's a Cop asking you to pullover?
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
Not then either.
Sean (Florida)
We aren't crazy. Yes we are, no we arent! I said yes!! I say no!!!
Kev (NYC)
Pullover! Thanks, but its a Cardigan!
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
A car that runs on charcoal? Who knew?
Mark(HOF City )
Tailgate me long enough, you will get a first-hand glimpse of what is the trunk!
Morgan (Baltimore)
I love when people drive 5 mph UNDER the speed limit. It's awesome.
Nate (Madison)
Is Negative Ned related to Debbie Downer?
Justin (Ohio)
My posts stunk today and I am quitting now to regroup and come strong Monday. GO BUCKEYES!!
Robert (Raleigh NC)
So I'm going to the state fair tonight. They have deep fried oreos, deep friend snickers, deep fried mac and cheese, deep fried coke, deep friend pecan pie and deep fried burgers. Suggestions?
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
Get something fried.
Justin (D.C)
I'm glad i dont have to drive to work!
Tom (Chicago)
JB, if you're going to tailgate on the highway, use propane. But other than that, always use charcoal.
Tom (Chicago)
If you read Ivan Maisel's article, he points out that some of the longest streaks of teams not going to bowls are ending while the longest bowl streak (Michigan at 33 years) is likely to end as well. Stupid Terrell Pryor.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
It is called the SPEED LIMIT, meaning that is the fastest you are suppose to go.
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
But what's the use if 98% of the people are going over it?
Mark(HOF City )
She is a distant cousin twice-removed. In some states we can even get married.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Buzz you need to hire Kimbo Slice to mean mug people that upset you while driving. I hear he might have some time on his hands.
Nate (Madison)
Rules are meant to be broken.
Scott (Brewtown)
In Wisconsin, everything at the fair comes on a stick. Cheese on stick, pickle on a stick etc
George (Houston )
Whenever someone starts tailgating me I usuall don't wanna play so I just go slower to tick the person off
Johnstone (Bucktown)
Tom, if you think that Terrell Pryor would have Michigan with a winning record you obviously havent watched their offensive line play this year.
Matt (Grand Rapids)
Carnies freak me out!
Ogre (Adams College)
State fairs are for NERDS!
The Dish (Elgin, IL)
Buzz, should it be more a speed recommendation?
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
What's the harm in speeding? As long as you're not driving recklessly - tailgating, cutting people off. If you've got a long stretch of road and it's not busy, why can't you go 80 in a 65 zone?
Kev (NYC)
Speed suggestion
Oilman (Everywhere)
Yes, drive faster. That burns more gas and then I get my 5th home!
Mark(HOF City )
True story: overheard a convo between a couple of twenty-somethings. The one girl said "When the speed limit in 55 that really means 65 and as you know you are allowed 10 mph over so 80 is just fine". I almost threw up!
John McCain (Campaign Trail)
This chat is like nailing Jello into a wall
Neil (SC)
Deep buzz. 98% going over the speed limit. where did that little factoid come from
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I've talked to people who work at the NC DOT and they said that in most places, the speed limit is actually lower than tests proved is safe to drive on the road b/c the assume people will speed.
Al Gore (surfing the interweb)
I invented a car that flys, runs on water, and goes 3,000 mph. It is also invisible.
Jordan (OH)
Living in the basement of your parents house is for nerds...thats why I live in the garage
Speed Racer (Interstates across America)
What is up with the IDIOTS that drive the speed limit in the left lane when no one is even in the right lane. I want to monster truck those people.
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
A couple of weeks ago a guy shot another driver in South Philly because he accidentally cut the dude off. Never mind the fact that the dude pumped four rounds into the guy's car, and never mind the fact that the victim had his eight-year old daughter in the back seat. There are some real morons on the road these days. How the victim didn't die was a miracle.
Kev (NYC)
Oilman isn't funny when gas is belowe $3 nationally.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Robert: And by working for the NC DOT you mean working on a chain gang, right?
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Yeah Buzz and what's up with this whole not being able to drink and drive thing? Pure pulse I say.
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
Uhhhhhh, that's just pure Pulse. I've known a few people get into serious accidents after being hit by a drunk driver, including one of my high school teachers who lost his wife.
Buzz's Mom (Bristol)
Slow down buzz or you'll be grounded
Sean (Florida)
Fun Fact: Buzz invents his own statistics. I am 98% sure of that
Ben (Charlotte)
I'm cannot be compared to Jalter because I live in a different state than my parents.
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
Ben, "upstairs" is not a different state.
Patrick (Louisville)
I believe Joe was using sarcasm to highlight a flaw in your logic for speeding buzz.
Sportnation
Some of us have had family members die as a result of drinking and driving. Let's not joke about it, please.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
If you admit you do something illegal in a 1st name only chat can you be find guilty of that crime? Tom can you answer this one?
Lady Buzz
Dont ground him, that means he will be home all the time which will really cramp my dating style.
Christian (High Point, NC)
The problem with treating Speed Limit signs casually is that when they people don't take them serious when they really mean it, like on-ramps and curvy stretches of highway. You're just safer obeying the signs.
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
That's part of my whole don't drive reckless. If you're not driving stupidly, what's wrong with speeding?....wait, just answered my own questions. I'm asking people not to be stupid. Never mind.
Patrick (Louisville)
Adn some of us have had friends die because someone was speeding on an otherwise empty road. Drive carefully people.
Steve (NJ)
You only need to defend one drunk driver to know how utterly and unequivocally stupid driving drunk is. People: take a cab, sober up, designate someone. It's not like this is even remotely difficult.
Michael (New York)
It was a poor example of sarcasm.
Mark(HOF City )
As is usually the case, my thoughts differ than most. My big complaint with speeders is during the morning and evening rush hours! You are no more important than I am when trying to get to work or home. On off hours, go ahead and speed and maybe we will thin the herd a bit.
evan (fort lauderdale)
I feel like this chat has become an after school special or a public svc annoucement. Can we start talking about lunch now?
Dave (Tampa)
If you drive slower than I do, your a moron and shouldn't be allowed to drive. If you drive faster than I do, you have a death wish and shouldn't be allowed to drive.
Pat (Chicago)
Another greedy person turned down around a half million dollars on Deal or No Deal to go for the million. He left with 1 dollar. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH PEOPLE? I actually left the room I was so mad at this moron.
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
asking us not to be stupid is like asking Ray to be coherent
Patrick (Louisville)
Lunch chat! Nothing acidic cause the heartburn is still there.
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
lunch: racing home for a deliciousl sandwich
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
I was highlightin another law that is used to protect people from themselves. Lighten up Francises.
Dennis (Green)
Driving over the speed limit is what we thought it was and we let it off the hook
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
This chat has suddenly taken on a very dark and depressing tone. How about lunch chat? That might perk things up. I'm having a honey crisp apple at my desk. Have to leave early to take my daughter to some kind of after school activity.
Contestant (Hollywood)
NO DEAL!
Morgan (Baltimore)
lunch: roast beef sandwich, chips, and a banana!
BJ (Carmel, NY)
My daily commute home consists of me blocking anyone who thinks they are getting home faster than me...again mark, you and I are right here (pointing at eyes)...
Brian (NC)
Lunch Chat: TURKEY!
Brock (North Carolina)
LUNCH!!!
Steve (NJ)
Leftover chinese: dumplings and the General's Chicken. General Tso beats Colonel Sanders every time
Paul (Ohio)
Fact: Listen to all what the MBers said. I'll sum it up...me me me me me me. I do it, than its ok but don't you
Bob(Lowell)
Buzz, you're like the Pied Piper of stupid.
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
That's a lost cause Buzz, not asking people to drive like morons. I almost got hit by a mattress once that some moron bungeed to the roof of his Hyundai. The thing caught air when he sped up, flew straight up in the air, and just missed crashing through my windshield when I was driving by in the other lane. People just have zero common sense,
BJ (Carmel, NY)
Sorry Joe, No joking or sarcasm when it comes to Drinking and Driving...that was an epic fail.
Chris (UPenn)
I just made a batch of bald eagle jerky, i'll have that for lunch.
Jordan (OH)
lunch chat: $5 dollar footlong...and I dare you to try to get that out of your head
Jeff (Iowa)
Bye for now, everyone. Peace out.
Hutch (Htfd)
Lunch: Leftover Kentucky Fried Chicken Wrap and a Mango gatorade
Tom (Chicago)
I have a candied apple with nuts. I'm eating it for breakfast because 15 extra minutes of sleep is more important than breakfast will ever be to me.
Jeremy (NYC)
Lunch - Pepper Turkey on wheat toast, american and lettuce, chips, water.
Dave (Tampa)
Lunch: Some deep fried eagle!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Another cheap and quick microwave meal.
Scott (Brewtown)
My wife is so cautious of a driver that she will literally make three right turns covering 2 square miles rather than be bold & cut across three lanes to make a left turn.
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
Mattress? could that have been michael?
Steve Fitz (Cicero, IL)
Lunch: 4 wing dinner from Robinson's Ribs with steak fries both drenched in tabasco sauce and a side of coleslaw.
Johnstone (Bucktown)
Lunch: Gym
Patrick (Louisville)
I laugh at that guy. Matress on hood. Hand out the window as if to say, 'Don't worry, if this twine breaks, I got it.'
Jordan (OH)
Colonel Sanders wasnt even a real Colonel. I'd be willing to bet General's Tso commands an army of billions.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
For the record: 10 AM meetings are The Suck.
Brandon (Wisconsin)
Clinton im with you that microwave is all i got
Sean (Florida)
Lunch: something on a stick!
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
That idiot. You're supposed to have a firend manning each window with a hand on the mattress.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I hope everyone takes notes on The Office tonight so we can have a lively chat tomorrow.
Bob(Lowell)
Why do people declare their food to be leftover? If it had been previously eaten then there would be a problem.
Ben (Charlotte)
Is firend manning a quarterback or a wide receiver?
Cap'n Crunch (grocery store)
I'm the best and if you don't agree I'll send out my cereal to shred the roof of your mouth!
Detective John Kimball (Kindergarten)
I once pulled over Buzz for going over the speed limit in his tricycle...cause I'm a cop, you idiot!
Chris (UPenn)
On second thought, I'm going to couple my eagle jerky with a few packs of ramen and then go for a run.
Mark(HOF City )
A real friend would lay on the mattress keeping it in place.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Homework, J.B.? Aw, man!
Tom (Delaware)
Joe where did you get your drivers license. Sears?
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
Negative JB...I have better things to do than take notes on The Office
duke (nashville,tn)
what about them titans!!!!!!!
Ocho Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
Gonna try some Five Guys today. Wish me luck. I'm out. Three more wins, redeem us Phils.
Steve (NJ)
An intelligent friend would help you rent a truck
Matt (East Hartford via Albany)
11AM meeting. Stay crazy, BN!
Brandon (Wisconsin)
Ya they dont need Vince
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
All right that's enough shenanigans for one day. We'll be back again tomorrow. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Lunch going to Sears to renew my license.
Johnstone (Bucktown)
Take care Buzz, easy on the roads....
Brian (NC)
Last post.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Everyone have a good Thursday (Canada, enjoy your weekend!), and Go Rays!
Efrain (Bayonne NJ)
Friends don't let friends transport mattresses on car roofs
Ron (VA)
