Goooooooood morning!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! *puts on helmet* Let's get this Friday going!

Anhony (NY)

Good morning

Chris (Minneapolis)

Buzzzzz gooooooooood morning! Beautiful day I must say!

Anhony (NY)

My last morning Buzz for 2 weeks Buzz

Marc (Big D)

No trade deadline chat? I am disappointed Buzzard.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Oh really? Huh...Rob Neyer must have switched to covering cricket overnight. Oversight on my part.

drew (philly)

Ricciardi wet the bed and now is going to have to settle for a similar poo-poo platter that Minny got for Santana in the offseason

Scott (Brewtown)

Happy Friday!

mike (ny)

i know i might be an optimistic here but with the mets getting back beltran and reyes and with franceour breathing new life into the team what are the odds winning the wild card or even making a run at it?

al (dc)

one you have submitted a question/comment, shouldn't the message say Thank you, your question has been submitted successfully! It will now be ignored

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

After the terrible news I heard this morning I don't know how I'll be able to chat. I mean, no SportsNation TV chat? What's next, some big slugger will be the next named in the PEDs scandal?

RAY GORDON REID ( BRADENTON FLA 34205)

MYCOMMENT AT 10.00AM THE WORLD ACORDING TO BUZZ

Will (Franklin, VA)

Fake Ray. I have been gone a while and know that is faaaaaaaake.

Ron Burgundy (San Diego)

Good move moving the SN chat to 5 yesterday, Buzz. You can't compete with KC's chat...it's science.

MJ (Cville)

Buzz has a case of the sarcasms

Marc (Big D)

See Buzz I was expecting a day packed full of deadline chatting goodness. I suppose 1 hour will suffice.

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Well, it's either our guys working the phones tracking down trades and rumors or here chatting with you clowns and thus get no stories.

Scott (Chicago)

Dear Rob: How many wicketts do you think Abdur Mahlik will break on Sunday?

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Ooooh. Good question. Save that for 3 p.m.

Tony (Ellicott City, MD)

Morning! TGIF!

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who want to chat all day about the trade deadline need to get lives.

stacy (georgetown)

hey guys how are you room?

Vince (NYC)

the history of the world.....tainted ! There everything and everyone has done something wrong there its all even. Can we go back to just enjoying games ?......no....no we can't.......ok (tears)

fred (omaha)

buzz why is there no afternoon chat, im gonna be in bristol and wanted to participate

Chris (Philly)

I've lived in Philly for the past 6 years without incident. My little brother moves here and in his first month gets robbed at gunpoint. (He's ok.)

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

He probably deserved it.....what? Too soon?

Tom (River North)

It's a sad day. I have to throw away all the fantastic condiments in my refrigerator since I don't have a place to live of my own.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Helloooo. what's going on?

Matt (IN)

Good morning all. Big Papi is fat.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

If Greg Maddux took steroids, you can hit me with a hammer---I wouldn't be that mad about it, because at this point I just wouldn't be suprised...For Ortiz's sake, I hope the substance he took wasn't banned by baseball back in 2003, because he is going to look real foolish if it was. It's sad, because he seems like a really sincere person.

Will (Franklin, VA)

This chat ooozes class.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I just wish they would release all the names so we could move on.

Marc (Big D)

I should learn not to question you. Sorry sir.

MJ (Cville)

David Ortiz really surprised people? The man was an infield pop ups hitter in MN, then exploded for 50 HRs per year in Boston...

Chris (Philly)

I must say, that was funny.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Tom: Buzz can help you pick out a refrigerator box for your new place.

Ted (Waco, TX)

Speaking of too soon...is Hurricane Katrina funny yet?

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

I dunno. Let's ask the people that are STILL homeless from that storm.

Sean (FL)

Lets not do this steroids chat gang, that will be all over the sight.We NEVER discuss real issues, thats why we like it here

Scott (Brewtown)

I dunno Ted...is the Waco incident funny?

Vee (Sierra Vista, AZ)

Wy not suspend all of MLB! This would alleviate all the talk of "he might have, he might have not" and we can get on with the "FUN" part of the game.

Marc (Big D)

Has anyone ever thought about ways PEDs would help them in their day to day life? I did and I couldn't come up with anything. I am the suck.

Chris O'Donnell (Gutter)

I'm still homeless.....but not because of Katrina.

JB (TX)

How come no one blames baseball for waiting till 2003 to start testing when they obviously had a problem for at least a decade at that point? NFL started testing in 1989. I'm just sayin...

Sean (FL)

none of those things are funny...Pablo Sandoval's nickname...funny!

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Is he the Panda Bear or something like that?

Anthony (NY)

Kung Fu Panda Buzz, Get it right!

Jay (NY)

Everybody is Kung Fu fighting! With Pandas even.

chaz (sa tx)

my money is on the great ricky henderson did PED's

Sean (FL)

JB- Do you really think the NFL is clean regardless of when they started testing?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Louis (Montreal)

I hope the whole list is gonna be released. Seeing bits here and there is getting ridiculous

Fresh Prince (Bel-Air (formerly West Philly))

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, she said you're moving with your aunty and uncle in Bel Air.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh wait, Buzz was not reprimanding me. In that case I do NOT retract the refrigerator box statement and do not volunteer for the penalty box. Moving on.

JB (TX)

You know what's funny? Those pics of K-Fed. He's as fat as Buzz and almost as shiftless.

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

At least those extra long, extra baggy shirts are coming in handy now that he has a big ol' gut to cover.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I saw Kung Fu Panda on HBO a little while back. Pretty funny flick.

Nick (Ankeny, IA)

KUNG FU PANDA!!!!!

Will (Franklin, VA)

Does someone named Pablo really need a nickname? I would gladly take on the nickname Pablo!

The Kids (playing video games)

Just stop hurting us baseball.

Big Z (here)

Something wrong with a big 'ol gut?

JB (TX)

No I don't think the NFL is clean, but they suspend players when they get caught (Merriman, Rodney Harrison) and we all move on.

Marc (Charlotte)

I'm late, what did I miss... oh wait, this is the MB. I didn't miss anything.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Nice SportsNation question, Buzz. As a follow up question you should post, "Who cares if either of those couples ever gets back together?"

Jay (NY)

Is there a Big Ol' clothing line? I need some gloves my Big Ol' paws.

chaz (sa tx)

my coworker is so excited about buyin season tickets for our hockey team, has anyone ever heard of our hockey team?..... didnt think so...

Tony (Ellicott City, MD)

I think the reason baseball is slowly releasing the list is because they want to have some news stories for 2050.

Greg (boston)

I figured out why I never go to the classier, high end establishments in Boston. The staff are arrogant and the light beers are 7 bucks...

taylor (pa)

the list was confidential, they need to start hitting the fed employees who are leaking the names

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

Why isn't anyone going after the MLBPA? How are they not in front of every camera demanding an investigation into this? They offered the test annonimously and now their members are getting outed.

Chris (Philly)

I wouldn't mention light beer again. Your Man Card may hang in the balance.

Stan (Racine)

Isn't it kind of scary that Buzz's claim that all players did steroids except Maddux is starting to look better and better.

Will (Franklin, VA)

I really would not want to be the guy who forgot to destroy that list of names that tested positive in 2003. Talk about a big whoopsie!

Nick (Ankeny, IA)

Big Papi turned into Big Poopy

Urban Meyer (Gainesville)

You're either for steroid use or against it. If you're for it, you won't find any in 37F. Try 'Bama or LSU.

Louis (Montreal)

It was supposed to be confidential. But now the names are leaking anyway, so they better just released all the names or we'll have a clear picture

Stuart (Seattle, WA)

I gotcha you Ted, I saw that Seinfield episode last night! Classic!

JB (TX)

Greg, we all thought you didn't go to those establishments because you aren't classy.

Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)

Papi's been a little sloppy

Nate (Madison)

Roids Roids Roids, Favre, Favre, Favre...ughhhh

Sean (FL)

Racine....isnt that one of the cities from a league of their own? They won the title i think! Go Racine!!! Beat Rockford!!!

Tony (Ellicott City, MD)

Mark Prior didnt do steroids. thats a fact. haha

chaz (sa tx)

why buzz?!? because most of the ppl that are on that list are still playing baseball, the chances of an investigation showing all 100 names after all is said and done after the investigation is 100%!!!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

No, an investigation as to how and why this list is being leaked. If I'm an MLB player, I'm calling the MLBPA every day demanding to know why they aren't doing anything.

Mike Vick (unemployed)

Instead of roids or Favre, lets talk about me!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Oh, crap...I just had a whole ton of work dumped on my desk. Don't people know that I'm busy already?

Will (Franklin, VA)

The documents were taken after the investigation into PEDS began by the government and now that list is in their possession and they are releasing what they wish. Thusly, no MLBPA influence over their release.

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

No, but they can still make an uproar now toward the government for not doing more to prevent the leaks.

Barry Bonds (SF)

How could they take steroids? They are cheating their fans.

Jay (NY)

Is Clinton's work carved on stone plates?

Greg (Ellicott City)

But youre not an MLB player. Are you?

Jay (NY)

Haha if you're an MLB player you're hangingn out with your millions and LadyBuzz on an island somewhere drinking and not caring about anything else.

Scott (Brewtown)

It's not the leaking of names that they should be angy about. How about the fact that those things weren't destroyed in the first place back in '04

Louis (Montreal)

On the public relation side, this a tough situation. You want the MLBPA to go after the people who released the names of cheaters? It will look even more of a cover-up

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

It doesn't matter. The MLBPA is a union. A union is supposed to take care of its members. That's it.

Greg (boston)

Buzz, who is the union going after here? The governemnt took the files...Good luck taking on the government, sometimes even when you win, you lose, and sometimes when you tie, you really win or lose...Bad idea to take on the government

David Fehr (Retiring)

Did anyone notice that I announced my "retirement" after a few of these names came out? Maybe the players asked me to "retire" after the names started coming out...

Matt (Jacksonville)

Do you think Mike Vick just plays 2004 Madden and wonders what could have been?

yahmpy (Deptford, NJ)

Donald Fehr wants the leakers prosecuted. Yet he's the guy who didn't destroy the list. And, he's the guy who protected players who broke the law and illegally possessed PEDs.

Marc (Charlotte)

Isn't it the job of the MLBPA to protect the players interests? If so, then they need to go after those leaking confidential information.

Matt (Jacksonville)

Gangs > Unions

Anthony (NY)

It's in the interest of the 100 players on the list. How do u know that other players don't want their name cleared that they are not on the list?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

It's getting to the point where one of the settings on the, "MLB: The Show" video games will be: PEDs or No PEDs?

john (panama city bch, fl)

This list is like a running toilet...annoying. Either jiggle the handle- or FLUSH it!!!

U.S. Government (D.C.)

Buzz, are you challenging us...Please provide us every document for your taxes over the past 10 years...what, you don't have them all, OK, we'll settle with a 10K penalty

Sean (FL)

I bet Vick plays 2010 madden and creates himself and makes himself a starter on a team....and cries a little

Brandon (Albany)

So Jose Canseco says that someone who is currently in the Hall of Fame used PEDs.....Rickey Henderson anyone?? Jose and Rickey were teammates for 3 years on the Oakland A's?

Dave (Tampa)

Yet another example of the ineptitude of MLB under the guidance of Bud Selig.

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

The MLB had nothing to do with it, I think. I think the MLBPA conducted the testing.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz, is there a chat moderator union?

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

Nope. Not yet.

Louis (Montreal)

I'm not saying they shouldn't. They told the players it was to be confidential, then they should fight for it. But I wanted to show that it isn't black or white

JB (TX)

Yeah, well all that Barry Bonds info from the BALCO trial was supposed to be sealed testimony as well. There are leaks everywhere.

Nate (Madison)

I say the players shouldn't have anything to worry about if they are as clean as they claim. The ones fighting it or playing the confidential card are clearly worried about something.

Pete (NC)

Isn't this all just a moot point? These were not banned substances when these supposed anonymous tests were taken. And even if you don't think it's moot, it's still a boring topic, so can we just move on?

Greg (Ellicott City)

call a plumber

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

That's a personal foul for blasphemy against any poster who thinks Rickey was on the juice. Ed knows that Rickey is the greatest of all-time and you don't mess with Rickey. 15 yards and repeat 2nd down

Godish (Chicago)

Steroids feared Jim Rice, so I'm sure it wasn't Rice.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Is it because chat moderators live under a chattatorship?

Reggie (Boston)

I've been hearing Ripken's name being thrown out there. Now that would be devastating.

George Costanza (NYC)

The card says it's a moop point.

Tony (Ellicott city, MD)

being an Oriole fan, If Ripkens name is on there, the world would end. All my marylanders agree?

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

Really? I can't say that anymore. I mean, he had to be on something, right? Greenies? Caffeine?

Rush (philly phillay)

how does this worklol

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I'm with Pete on this. I stopped caring about this a long time ago. We can go round and round and round and it won't change squat.

Matt (Jacksonville)

So how bout the Cubs getting Grabow? Big news, huh?

Sean (FL)

omg can we change the subject! This conversation has been in a million other chat rooms and news articles! Its friday mornign and we are debating steroids and leaks!! Come on guys, we are better than this....or are we worse than this...either way, move on!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:30 AM)

I think that's clearly a cry for the ONB....let's do it...

Vinny Alfieri (New Jersey)

If your team is sitting around .500 is it worth trading your top prospects for a temporary impact player to make a push for the playoffs? Is it worth giving up your future for a minimal chance to win now?

al (dc)

comment

Bert (somewhere south of Hades)

14 team NL only, Greene, B Ryan, Berkman, Tavaras, Bowker, Reed Johnson, Lilly all dead, dying or decaying, just like my chances of coming in the money.

Matt (Bullhead City, AZ)

I just saw a bit on sport center where they were calling the 04' sox world series win "tainted" because Ortiz and Ramirez failed a drug test in 03'. First of all I'd like to see a test result when the two of them were in Clevland (bet they failed that one too). But more importantly when it's all said and done I would bet anything every single team had two guys fail that same test including all of the last place teams from every division that year.

Joshua (Bloomington, Indiana)

What is the difference between the players of old using "greenies" to enhance their performance and the players of today using HGH to enhance their performance?

johnny (henderson, nv)

michael vick should go to the BRONCOS or RAMS, bothe teams could use him as a back up or potential starter.

Ryan (Lancaster, OH)

I'm trying to become a pro skateboarder or biker but i cant find someone to video tape good and you rock

charlie (Northampton, Massachusetts)

i saw something that people thought was the leaked list from 2003 and there were 10 people on the red sox do u think the red sox were behind most of this?

tyler (earth)

we need to boycott baseball until all the names of the 2003 steroids tests have come out. according to sportsnation poll 87 percent of us want all the names. so as i said lets boycott all baseball games, in person and on tv, until we get all of the names.

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

And that's it....

Greg (boston)

An LOL and OMG in 4 posts, I think that's a personal foul on Buzz for not screening better

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

We have illegal procedure against Rush for using "lol" in the chat, 5 yards and repeat 2nd down. Watch yourself son.

Marc (Charlotte)

There is too much sport chat going on here. Can't we talk about Nate and Brian drinking or something?

Greg (boston)

Who cares, these guys are paid to amuse me, it's not like we cry about actors who juice for roles...

chaz (sa tx)

WOW BUZZ big mistake!!! onb was worse

Jay (NY)

OK I'll boycott baseball by going to the Mets game tonight since what they play cannot be considered baseball.

Jessica Simpson (Room crying )

but I cant move on!!!! *cries*

Scott (Brewtown)

Fuuny, the ONB kind of looked like the first half hour of this chat

Matt (Jacksonville)

Tiger is -7 after 8 holes. I guess he's not done after all

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Nice to see the ONB return to its incoherent ranting roots.

Sean (FL)

in my defense for the "omg" I am watching bring it on so I was channeling my inner cheerleader. I;m watchig it for the story line of course...of course I need a good article to read....wonder what magazine I can pick up for that....

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Talked to my brother this morning. He's letting me crash at his place after the reunion this weekend. I may have to break out the old yearbook this evening to remember a few faces. And yes, it's written on papyrus. *rimshot*

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

Way to get ahead of the joke. Nice play.

Scott (Brewtown)

I don't care what we chat about because this time tomorrow I'll be 30,000 feet above Nebraska on my way to Sunny San Diego!

Sean (FL)

so after the trading deadline...worst ballgame to have to sit through....Pirates/Nats or Pirates/Pads I mean its Pirates and somebody, it has to be the Pirates

Tom (Jacksonville)

Scott tomorrows Saturday.....there is no chat

Nate (Madison)

have another Scott

Matt (Jacksonville)

I don't care what we chat about because this time tomorrow I will be driving to Godforsaken Arkansas.

Nate (Madison)

(Clinton breaking out and ironing his toga for his reunion)

Marc (Charlotte)

And that folks, is why Clinton is a MB Hall of Famer.

Will (Franklin, VA)

Wonder why the Nats haven't traded anyone? Because they are that freakin bad...

Clay (Charlotte)

Happy Friday Buzz, I'm late, got suck in a meeting about accounting software...I'm not in accounting so I'm not sure why I had to be there.

Matt (IN)

Above Nebraska? Hard to be envious of that

Sean (FL)

Scott prints out the chats each week and reviews them making note sin pencil along the way of funny things he could have said as responses to sharpen his game for the next week

Johnny (Scranton, PA)

Clinton beginning to rag on himself. He's been here too long.

Anthony (NY)

Buzz since I go back to school in 2 months you should make either a night show, or a weekend show so I can join :)

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

That's a big negative. Turrible idea.

Marc (Charlotte)

My last flight had wi/fi. I thought about purchasing it for 9.95 so I could participate in the MB.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

It's funny how they have wifi on flights now, but they still make you turn off your cell phones. So my cell phone might crash the flight, but my computer won't? Got it.

Louis (Montreal)

Maybe you should just stick to the chat wrap Anthony. You can contribute to the ONB

Nate (Madison)

Anthony, that's a negative ghostrider...the pattern is full.

Will (Franklin, VA)

Oh you want a pointless meeting? Last year in our back to school sessions, we had an hour on Microsoft Word. Seriously...Word.

Sean (FL)

You should get the wi/fi and go to a "naughty" site. Best. way. ever. to avoid having the annoying person beside you try to talk.

Chris (Philly)

Paying for the MB < getting paid during the MB.

Nate (Madison)

The cell phone issue is a complete myth.

David (Banning)

Just caught up with the chat, I must say it was not what I expected. Where is the MB I know and love?

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

We're all too giddy about it being Friday. Throwing us off our games.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Make sure you turn the volume up

Rob (Boston)

you clearly don't understand how cell networks and wireless routers differ, buzz. NOOB.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

After reviewing the play, Rob from Boston is guilty of using "NOOB" in trying to insult the chat host. By chat rule, "FAIL" must be used instead. The result of the play is an incomplete post, and the rest of the chatters are not charged a time out. It is now 3rd down.

Will (Franklin, VA)

You clearly don't understand that we don't care, Rob.

Matt (Jacksonville)

It's the MLB trading deadline and there are 3 NFL chats and 1 MLB chat. ESPN: where only the NFL happens

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Hey Jayson Stark...No, you can't call the Blue Jays right now to find out more about the Roy Halladay trade. No! Matt (Jacksonville) says you have to chat. Get over here right now!

Skinner (Top Gun)

Buzz, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.

Efrain (Bayonne NJ)

Is this thing on?

Matt (Jacksonville)

Buzz 1, Me 0. Well played, Buzz

chaz (sa tx)

... .... thats pretty serious there Ed......

Fake Clinton (Indianapolis)

Cell network...wireless router...???

Nate (Madison)

Ok...I have to go to a COMPLETELY useless meeting. Everyone have a great weekend, and I'll repeat it's good to be back in TMB. I'll do my best to get Brian to do something stupid this weekend, so I can share it with all of you.

Buzzmaster

  (10:43 AM)

Me thinks you won't have to try very hard.

Fish (100 gallon tank)

journal entry #105: it rained food again today..

The Suits (Bristol)

Buzz, you can't be ordering Stark around. He actually contributes around here. FAIL!

Jay (NY)

Buzz's ego doesn't write checks, it pays with Straight Cash Homey!

JB (TX)

Buzz 475, Me 205. I'm talking about pounds here. Buzz, you're fat.

Rob (Boston)

If Theo doesn't make a move today, I will be very distraught...well, until the Red Sox start playing well again.

Matt Damon (Buzz's Couch)

I crushed Buzz's ego several months ago.

Chris (Philly)

Completely random, but great, Fish post.

David (Banning)

how the hell does someone come up with that fish post, to funny.

Marc (Big D)

Matt, he got me too. Buzz is on his game today.

Anthony (NY)

That fish post was hilarious

Anthony (NY)

Buzz 475 Me 140

Scott (Brewtown)

I heard they're going to make a movie out of a children's book called cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Having read that book to two kids, I can't picture that as a movie.

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

Same thing with Where the Wild Things Are.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think I've actually heard that fish line somewhere before. I believe a stand-up comedian used it.

Buzz's fish (Dirty tank)

Help us! Please!

Theo Epstein (Wicked Bahstoon)

To appease Rob, we got Vernon Wells and Canadian Bacon, for Mike Greenwell's non-existant MVP trophy.

Rick Vaughn (Cleveland)

Did someone say Wild Thing?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Agreed, Buzz. I mean that was what, a 50-page book, if that? And they're going to stretch it into a 90-minute movie? I don't know how they're going to pull that off.

David (Banning)

this chat is back on track!!!!!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

Shhhhh. Don't jinx it.

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz wishes it would rain food...cause you know, he's fat.

Jay (NY)

If you take that 50 page book and put the font at like 24, you'll have a 90 minute movie.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Even if it rained food, it would not be enough to satisfy Buzz, since Buzz, you know, is fat.

Matt (Jacksonville)

Where the Wild Things Are was directed by Spike Jonze though. Therefore, it is going to be awesome

Greg (Ellicott City)

They will have Buzz sit there and try to sound out the book for 90 mintues

Rob (Boston)

Theo's done it again!

Will (Franklin, VA)

I am going to laugh at you guys when Buzz finally steps out from behind the curtain and he is a former college wrestler and just ripped....

Dennis Eckersley (NESN Booth)

This chat has a no-no going

Fish (100 gallon tank)

journal entry #275: there is this fish that keeps looking at me, evertime i try to pass it up it blocks my every move, if its like he knows where i am going even before i do... he reminds me alot of myself.....

Clay (Charlotte)

Clinton, I Am Legend was a 100 page short story...actually the short story is much better than the movie.

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

Not surprising, cuz the movie sucked.

Anthony (NY)

Lunch chat: 5 white castle burgers, mozzarella sticks and fries

Tom (River North)

Is it just me or is Cleveland becoming like the Expos of the 90s, but with better attendance. It seems like they are the team everyone raids when they want to improve their roster.

Clay (Charlotte)

Lunch: It's 'Service Appreciation Luncheon' so I'll be having free hamburgers, BBQ and hot dogs.

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: Same as yesterday, so go read yesterday's recap to find out.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Lunch: seafood salad, unsweet tea

chaz (sa tx)

i feel like fish for some odd reason.....

Pirates Executives (Hiding)

Uh, Tom, have you been paying attention?

Matt (Jacksonville)

My boss is taking me and all the other interns out for lunch today. Time to order the surf and turf with several beers

Will (Franklin, VA)

Oh snap! Lunch will be asian dumplings...they sell them at Walmart now and they are freakin awesome.

Tom (Jacksonville)

Boss is taking the interns to lunch today at Ted's......excellent

F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Grave)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was like fifty pages. And they got three hours out of it.

Tom (River North)

I don't consider the Pirates to be an actual team. And for lunch, I'm eating whatever my aunt is making because I'm not turning down free food.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Lunch chat: I need some beef today as I've had a lot of chicken this week. A burger with some onion rings would be a nice change. A burger with bacon and onion rings would be heavenly.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Three little words: Steak. 'n'. Shake.

Matt (IN)

Lunch = Pizza

Clay (Charlotte)

Oh snap? Will, please refrain from using 90's colloqualisms. Thanks.

Stan (Racine)

Lunch: Portillo's. Haven't decided what yet.

David (Banning)

Later Buzz and nation. Have a safe fun weekend and oh ya, STAY CLASSY!

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Pepperoni and Salami Calzone

Anthony (NY)

Since I will be in Portugal 4 2 weeks: my lunch chat for those 2 weeks grandparents feeding me Lunch: Fish and salad every day :( Breakfast: Toast, Dinner: Fish Desert: Watermelon. everything same every day except chicken for dinner 1 day

Marc (Big D)

Buzz, I will be fasting as penance for questioning you. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Will (Franklin, VA)

See this chat was just climbing at an alarming rate and finally stalled out. Cripes.

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Peeps actually coming to talk to me during our chat? What the heck? An intern too.

Marc (Charlotte)

Isn't Portillo's a hot dog place?

Reggie (Boston)

Nuts I missed the entire chat. I'm sure the workload will die down and I'll have nothing to do later.

Pete (NC)

Is anyone else freaked out that the "Sports"Nation poll today is about relationships? What.The.Heck.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Well it's been a fun chat week, as always, but I have to run. This afternoon will feel empty without SNTV chat but I will persevere. Have a great weekend, MBers. Stay safe and have some fun because Monday, it's back to work! Later, all.

Sean (FL)

Well, I was on fire earlier in the chat and now I cant get posted. I have to say, I think I am getting funnier. I guess it is all about timing. So I will just say, have a great weekend! Peace be with you all....and (insert funny joke here). See ya!

SNTV = MB with a moderator who actually shows his face.

Marc (Charlotte)

Hayden, Have you been to the MB lately? None of it is about sports.

Chris (Philly)

That's a better ratio than the MB.
