  (12:00 PM)

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to the best chat on the internet!

StreakMaster

  (12:01 PM)

How are you all doing on this lovely Friday? Let the questions begin!

L.L. (New York, N.Y.)

Wow, you get 30 more minutes and a better lunch hour to chat. I like the progress towards world domination through Streaks for the Cash thus far. I look forward to where you go from here, Mr. Streak-Master. Yes We Can!

StreakMaster

  (12:02 PM)

I totally agree with you, it's about time The StreakMaster got some love around here. As always, it's because of my fellow Streakers!

Rob Fredon NJ

are you going to put up any 12 o'clock games tommorrow

StreakMaster

  (12:03 PM)

Yes there will be, I am actually working up a prop to put in that slot after this chat.

Al Loeb (Rockville, MD)

I've been streaking for years, so it's no stretch for me to start doing it for cash!!!

StreakMaster

  (12:03 PM)

Nice work, Al.

Chris (LA,CA)

I've seen some great numbers breaking into the 20's. Nobody's reached the 25 mark though. If nobody reaches a streak of 25, will you be awarding the grand prize (or an alternate prize for that matter) to the person with the longest streak?

StreakMaster

  (12:04 PM)

the consolation prize is $10,000 and that will be given to the user with the longest streak. So far it is 21.

C-Rod (Weston, CT)

Who did you take in the election Streak Master? I tab you as a liberal.

StreakMaster

  (12:04 PM)

I won't get into politics here but it was good to see so many Americans at the polls.

Mike (Tampa,FL)

Just so everyone knows, I am the worst picker on the site. I have a win% of less than .200...if you want to know who to pick for any given matchup just pick opposite of me.

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

If I give you some locks can I have a Tampa Bay Rays cowbell?

med (malone, ny)

any thoughts on who the leader might have taken with his pick?

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

Can't release that information, sorry Med.

Al (Kahalik, MN)

So many Americans at the polls??? Turnout was less than in 2004!

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

Really? I guess I was too into the hologram interviews on CNN.

Augie (Cheshire, CT)

Did you have Switzer getting off in your Streak pick?

StreakMaster

  (12:06 PM)

Excuse me?

L.L. (New York, N.Y.)

I know that you feel good after Florida made mince-meat out of Georgia last Saturday but with Alabama, Texas Tech, Penn State, and Utah still looming to threaten your Florida-USC championship, do you still think it could happen?

StreakMaster

  (12:07 PM)

I said it last week LLCoolJ. I have been a Florida supporter all season.They will be in the BCS title game.

Tom Nostin (Burntown, CT)

What's the streak for the Bills game this weekend?

StreakMaster

  (12:07 PM)

More Passing Yards: Edwards or Cassel?

Mike (Tampa, FL)

yeah, give me some locks...I have one for you too; TB Rays do not make the playoffs next year.

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

I got a fever....I need cowbell!

colt (Austin, Tx)

not if i have anything to say about it

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

Stop that Colt. You had your chance.

Chris (LA,CA)

Why don't you include point spreads in the picks?

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

We don't promote gambling here at ESPN!

G. Pina (West Warwick, RI)

As a veteran of foreign wars, who do you think I should pick for the bCS title?

StreakMaster

  (12:09 PM)

Florida-USC. Utah will lose, Penn State will get beat somewhere. Bama will lose in the SEC Final.

Kevin Ohio

Is Bonnie Bernstein single? She is a beautiful woman.How would I get to speak with her?

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

Ah ha! Someone else is watching first take like I am. Do you really think someone low like me knows about her? Let's be serious.

Matt

Hey Streakmaster. I got a streak of 11. You better not prevent me from making the leaderboard

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

You're lucky my uncle's name is Matt. I will protect you.

Chris (LA,CA)

Of course ESPN doesn't promote gambling, they only have their most popular columnist, Bill Simmons, post his picks with the spread weekly.

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

Whose Bill Simmons?

wharfrat (el sobrante, ca)

yet you post odds in your blog

StreakMaster

  (12:11 PM)

(looking for a response)

Taker (Ballercity)

Streakmaster, who you got in the Jones-Calzaghe fight?

StreakMaster

  (12:12 PM)

I have not looked into that fight yet, but I plan on it. I'll get back to you.

L.L. (New York, N.Y.)

Your performance in November thus far has been impressive. The question is, will you pick with the monthly leaders or the longest streaks in mind?

StreakMaster

  (12:13 PM)

Thank you for scouting me. I always pick each matchup. I've already have hit 25 wins in a row twice. It's time for the most wins.

me (my house)

What are the odds of me punching your face?

StreakMaster

  (12:13 PM)

(calling security)

Nick (NJ)

I've gotten 4 different people into Streak for Cash. Talking about picks has worked it's way into our regular sports talk. ESPN has start the game up again next year. Btw, if you want easy picks just look at me with VT. If I pick them they lose - if I don't, they win.

StreakMaster

  (12:14 PM)

Thanks for the promotion, maybe we can meet up in Hoboken for the St.Patrick's Day parade. I owe you one.

Motivational Speaker (Hired by The Suits)

Streak, you lollygag your way into work. You lollygag your way down the hall. You lollygag your way in and out of the chat. Do you know what that makes you? A lollygagger. Now this is an easy job...You open the chat...you post the comments...you close the chat. YOU GOT IT?!?!

StreakMaster

  (12:14 PM)

I wanna live in a van, down by the river!

Kevin , Ohio

I would like to email her.You are in the studio also.Can't you get my question to her?

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

Not a shot.

Nick (NJ)

Who you got Sunday Night: Giants or Eagles? Any props?

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

G-MEN!!!!!

Nerdvin Steins (Valhalla, NY)

Do you think it's a hot look wearing jeans and sneakers with a blazer to work?

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

Hot? No. Wrong word. But cool? Yes.

SIlver Fox (Miami, FL)

My cousin Jacob had like 15 in a row on this Streak thing a while back. What do you think is the record there Streaky? I love talking on chats!!!

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Check the leaderboard and click longest. Right now it is at 21.

Patrick ( Louisville )

This game has the second best prize on ESPN. The best was the BEst Ball champion. They won a free t-shirt!

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Totally agree.

Buzzmaster (ESPN)

Streak dresses like I do because it's cool. I'm cool, I am the Buzzmaster!

StreakMaster

  (12:17 PM)

I knew this guy would show up.

David (Virginia)

How many times do you think TCU beats Utah at a neutral site if they played 10 times? 7?

StreakMaster

  (12:17 PM)

Yes. I can't believe they lost. Easily that win that game 7 out of 10.

Jake (Chicago)

You realize Michael Olikus averaged 2 wins a day in October...by my calculations the most wins you can get in a day is 3, thus for 31 straight days Olikus made sure he was in front of his computer to pick the next game...Mr. Olikus needs a new hobby.

StreakMaster

  (12:18 PM)

Ouch, here comes the trash talking!

Ken, CA

CNN? You get your news from the Clinton news network? That's like trying to find a positive story about a Rebuplican on MSNBC

StreakMaster

  (12:18 PM)

It was just for the holograms Ken, relax.

Gray (Chicago)

I am new to this streak thing....has anyone gotten to 25 yet? I see if you do you "have a chance" to win $1M....fine print sucks.

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

Gray? Like the color? The longest streak has been 21.

Nick Love (Detroit, Michigan)

I was a die hard Lions fan for years, but decide to become a Cowboys fan this season. Who do you see winning this week and who streaks better? Streakerman

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

You switched to the Cowboys? You can't be serious!

Crew (Ann Arbor)

Streak: Tell Jake you can also make picks on your phone if you have internet on your phone. So you dont always have to be by a computer to make your next pick.

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

Ann Arbor, Michigan! The best thing to come out of there was the long basketball shorts!

Nick Love (Detroit)

Can you think of a better movie than "8-Mile"?

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I watched it last night.

L.L. (New York, N.Y.)

This is a while back, but has there ever been a more depressing victory for a streak match-up than Andrew Bynum over Greg Oden in a "Who scores more points" match-up? I felt so guilty taking the victory for that game.

StreakMaster

  (12:21 PM)

Yeah that was bad, real bad. It was kind of funny entering that score.

Jim Rascal (Key West, FL)

You got any hot retro jerseys? I was thinking about rocking an Elvis Grbac Ravens one to make fun of Trent Dilfer!

StreakMaster

  (12:21 PM)

I have a Jets Keyshawn Johnson jersey. I should have him sign it.

Doubting Thomas (Internet)

Did you really pick 25 games in a row in college? Was this ATS or SU? Any record of it anywhere?

StreakMaster

  (12:22 PM)

Like I would give away my personal information. Yes, they were all against the spread.

Hank (St Louis)

What one game ended the most streaks?

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

It was the New York Giants who lost to the Browns.

Mike (Albany)

Do you think that ESPN will be perfect the technology to beam the StreakMaster down into SportsCenter yet?

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

Best post yet. I totally agree, why not me!

J Barbs (We-Ha, CT)

Have you ever heard of a rock band called "Love Weapon"?

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

No, but I love West Hartford.

L.L. (New York, N.Y.)

Quick MLB Hot Stove prediction: Who will overpay for a 37-year old Manny Ramirez that for all we know has nothing left in the tank?

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

Yankees will get him, I have no doubt.

Nick (NJ)

Actually, when Oden went down the first thing I thought was "nice, I won this pick. I wonder what games are listed for tommorrow." Guess I'm just heartless.

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

You must be from Jersey.

Mike (Ohio)

I went to a Colts - Bengals game back in '05 and there was a lady wearing an Akili Smith jersey. Admit it, you want one.

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

I like that!

Greg Oden's Mom (Indianapolis)

No more Christmas cards for you, Mr. Streak.

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

Come-on now!

David (Virginia)

Who will win the superbowl?

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

The New York Football Giants!

J Barbs (We-Ha, CT)

Yo Streaky, what kind of music gets you pumped up to do these funky chats?

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

Britney Spears - Womanizer, Katy Perry - Hot n Cold and Bruises by Chairlift.

Michael Olikus (Fountain Hills, AZ)

I have a hobby, I collect jean shorts...

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

I think I left mine once on a trip to ASU, enjoy!

wharfrat (el sobrante, ca)

Streak, you need to be able to call the NFL when early ames run too long and tell them to hold the late ones. Rams/Falcons killed us last week-kept up out of the Raiders gimmie

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

Trust me, I know. Why can't they move the games to 4:30? Is it that difficult?

Seth Rogen-Twin (Bristol, CT)

Lets see how good u really know sports...Can u predict who will win the Bayou Classic? Grambling and Southern?

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

What the heck is a Grambling?

Pete (NC)

So if someone reaches 25 in a row, are you fired?

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

Let's hope not Pete.

Dolla (jersey)

Streak master vs. Buzzmaster; who ya got?

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

StreakMaster easily wins that one.

Officer Rodriguez (CT)

Who do you think is going to get Jake Peavy?

StreakMaster

  (12:28 PM)

Have not really looked into it. Is Jake Peavy as good as everyone thinks he is? I don't think so.

Augie (Cheshire, CT)

Yo Streaker, you are such a NOOB!!!! I think I could KO you in the ring and beat you on the track and in the classroom. Let's have an athletic decathalon and I will smoke you like old peyote!

StreakMaster

  (12:28 PM)

Yeah right, I would never let myself lose to someone named Augie.

Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)

Britney Spears? I knew you were a pansy. It's all Buzz's fault. He's getting a crap kicking for this one.

StreakMaster

  (12:29 PM)

What's wrong with Britney. She is back and as hot as ever!

Pete (NC)

Why can't we make one pick for later in the day once we have a locked pick?

StreakMaster

  (12:29 PM)

One pick per timeslot. It is much easier that way.

Kyle (LA)

I am glad to see this Olikus guy dressed up for his photo opp.

StreakMaster

  (12:29 PM)

I was waiting for a comment like this. Don't hate Kyle, look at that scenery!

David Fairborn, OH

4:30 = dinner time.

StreakMaster

  (12:30 PM)

No way! Between 6 and 7 is dinner.

Ken

It's really not that hard to get 25 games in a row when you have any game to choose from, the tough part is when you give us this very limited slate of close matchups.

StreakMaster

  (12:30 PM)

Welcome to ESPN's Streak for the Cash game, Ken!

Seth Rogen-Twin (Bristol, CT)

What the heck is a Grambling? You work at ESPN and don't know what or who Grambling is? Doug Williams, Eddie Robinson, Willis Reed all went to school or coached there? U should be FIRED!

StreakMaster

  (12:30 PM)

It was a joke, go make another movie.

JA (CT)

You really should take some tips that the guy that does MMA Live. Now that's a chat!

StreakMaster

  (12:31 PM)

Why what does he do?

Manny Ramirez (L.A., C.A.)

How much do you think ill get paid if i went to the New York Yankees? Any ideas Streak Master?

StreakMaster

  (12:31 PM)

With Hank running the show, who knows? Enjoy NY though, it's beautiful!

David Fairborn, OH

Best movie ever: True Romance? Not seen it? Educate yourself.

StreakMaster

  (12:32 PM)

Never seen it. How about Swingers or Beautiful Girls? Those are classics.

Cowboy Ron (Piston, PA)

Who would win in a race: Tommy Smith or John Carlos?

StreakMaster

  (12:32 PM)

Tommy John.

Finch in Florida (Cowbell owner)

We going to see more EPL match ups as we reach December?

StreakMaster

  (12:32 PM)

Absolutely, I love the EPL!

Ripken (Des Moines, IA)

Do you think the recession will hit EPSN hard too? Will you be let go?

StreakMaster

  (12:33 PM)

Let's hope not, I am crossing my fingers.

Doubting Thomas (Internet)

25 picks in a row ATS, or so you allegedly claim. What sport(s) was this? If you were really that good, you would move to Las Vegas and be the next Brandon Lang!Disclaimer: ESPN does not promote gambling.*rolls eyes*

StreakMaster

  (12:33 PM)

I did it in '06 NCAA Football and '07 NCAA Basketball, beat that hotshot!

L.L. (New York, N.Y.)

On another note, John McCain would have called for working on the war against performance-enhancers. President-elect Obama wants to institute a college football playoff to replace the BCS. What would you do regarding the sports world if you were president, Mr. Streak-Master?

StreakMaster

  (12:34 PM)

MLB games start at 6:00 p.m. so everyone can watch it. I hate their start times.

Patrick ( Louisville )

Streakmaster v Moustache Institute Guy. Who you got?

StreakMaster

  (12:34 PM)

Tough. I'd still go with StreakMaster.

Crew (Ann Arbor)

You should do a prop bet for the Michigan/Minnesota game tomorrow. How many fumbles will Michigan have? 3 or less or 4 or more. Especially since Minnesota is good at creating turnovers and not to mention our bad QB Threet is out and our worse QB Sheridan is in.

StreakMaster

  (12:35 PM)

That prop would get one pick...from you.

David Fairborn, OH

Swingers is on my shelf. A classic. Along with Momento and Sideways. Streakmaster, you're money and you don've even know it!

StreakMaster

  (12:35 PM)

You always double down on 11! Always!

Augie (Cheshire, CT)

True Romance... overrated like Peavy

StreakMaster

  (12:36 PM)

Ouch.

Nick (NJ)

How come no Rutgers vs. The Fruit tomm? Rutgers helped out big time over UConn and Pitt.

StreakMaster

  (12:36 PM)

You're right they did. I hope you enjoyed your 15 mins of fame on my board.

Brandon (Minnesota)

Whats the best way to maintain a streak?

StreakMaster

  (12:37 PM)

Look at the odds and how the teams stack up. Be very careful and don't allows follow the user percentages.

Dr. Love (Detroit)

Have you ever seen a classic movie like "Drum Line"?

StreakMaster

  (12:37 PM)

Of course! Isn't it on TNT every Sat?

Pretty Ricky (Tenn)

Who would win in a brawl... you or the guy that does that sneaker chat?

StreakMaster

  (12:38 PM)

Who? I think that answers your question.

Mike (Providence, RI)

What is the typical day in the life of StreakMaster?

StreakMaster

  (12:38 PM)

Staying clear from Buzzmaster.

13 year old (High School)

Swingers? didn't that movie have that guy from Wedding Crashers in it?

StreakMaster

  (12:39 PM)

Haha, classic.

Bob Stoops (Ok)

Do you see us a BCS contender. You think we will beat Texas Tech in a couple of weeks. What do you think Streak Master?

StreakMaster

  (12:39 PM)

Without a doubt. Texas Tech won't be able to hang on.

Al (Kahalik, MN)

Which is more deceptive, the percentages in 'Streak' or the past results above a roulette wheel?

StreakMaster

  (12:39 PM)

Touche.

Doubting Thomas (Internet)

I tried to do handstands for you, I tried to do handstands for you...So you picked 25 games in a row ATS, twice? Wow. Was there a reason you did that? Because the only people I know that do that type of thing have other "vested interests"... not that there's anything wrong with that!

StreakMaster

  (12:40 PM)

Yes, another fan of Chairlift! I had to do it to get this job, talk about pressure!

L.L. (New York, N.Y.)

Since no one mentioned this yet, what's the over/under for practices missed by Allen Iverson as a Detroit Piston? Also, who got the better deal by your perspective?

StreakMaster

  (12:40 PM)

Practice? We're talking about practice?

Josh, Texas

If penn state does not lose a game the rest of the way, and texas somehow wins the big12, is texas back in the NC.

StreakMaster

  (12:41 PM)

Texas has been out since last Saturday.

Mike(Charlotte)

Are you and Buzzmaster brothers or cousins?

StreakMaster

  (12:41 PM)

Neither, but we both have great hair!

med (malone, ny)

what is your lock?

StreakMaster

  (12:41 PM)

About time someone asked........

StreakMaster

  (12:42 PM)

Oklahoma State!

Joe Patterno (Nursing Home)

What about us Streak Master?

StreakMaster

  (12:43 PM)

I can't see you going undefeated coach, sorry.

Mike (Tampa, CL)

Just a thought, but if you could pick games that well, what are you doing working for ESPN under an assumed name? Wouldn't you be better served as a handicapper, or a professional gambler in Vegas? If I had those skills, i'd be retired by now.

StreakMaster

  (12:43 PM)

Have you been to ESPN? This is the best to be, without a doubt.

StreakMaster

  (12:44 PM)

Alright guys, it's almost that time. A few more question then I am out.

Patrick ( Louisville )

Wow, bold choice. What brought that on?

StreakMaster

  (12:44 PM)

Texas Tech barely escaped Texas, and Ok.State is a solid team.

Georgia (FL)

you can honestly say you like Bristol, CT???

StreakMaster

  (12:45 PM)

I do, I actually do. I even saw Nate Ravitz just walk by.

Travis (NY)

Answer my question: Boston College or Notre Dame in hockey tonight?

StreakMaster

  (12:45 PM)

Go Irish!

Mike(Charlotte)

Did you pick the Boo vs Woody matchup? Who did you take?

StreakMaster

  (12:45 PM)

I took Woody, I always liked Toy Story.

StreakMaster

  (12:45 PM)

Take care guys, enjoy the weekend!
