  (10:00 AM)

Gooooooooood morning!

Neal (Philly)

Morning Buzz. I am back and hoping not to infect SN with my illness.

Marc (Big D)

Buzz, August is here in Texas. Time to lose 20 pounds of sweat in a month!

Hdog (CT) [via mobile]

Hey buzz, top of the morning to ya, I was just thinking about ny upcoming fantasy draft, who do you think will perform better this season, Brady or Brees.

Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

Busta.

Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

I hope everyone had a good weekend SportsNation.

Neal (Philly)

Cliff Lee's first outing as a Philly was disappointing. He only threw 5 1/3 innings of no hit ball and couldn't even keep the shutout.

BOBBY BOWDEN ( TALLAHASEE FLA 32306)

COMENT 9.50AM FSU FOOTBALL COACH ALL RIGHT YOU MORNING BUZZ PLEASE DO ALLOF RAY GORDON REIDS COMMENTS

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

No, I won't. You're a fake and the real RGR hasn't been here for a long time. It's kind of disappointing, actually.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! Survived the 10-year reunion. Matt (IN), you were spot on about it.

David (Banning)

come out come out where ever you are!

Clay (Charlotte)

Morning Buzz...just can't seem to hit my caffine wheelhouse. Not enough, too much, I don't know, just not working out well for a Monday.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

What's up people? Gotta love the 2 1/2 day work week.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

Steroid users who go hitless in a game where their team gets 23 hits need to get better steroids

Pete (NC)

Wow, I reaaaaally have a case of the Mondays. I don't think today can get any worse. Is it too early to just go home?

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

It's never too early for that.

Tom (Peoria)

So I haven't been here in a long time but it appears some things never change. I do see that we have spell check now.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

Things haven't changed here since 1979.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

Or, I guess 1996.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Good morning everyone Happy Birthday Tom Brady.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I hear ya, Pete. Just feeling absolutely lethargic here.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Well the auto scroll feature of the MB isn't working again so that's the suck.

Matt (IN)

Clinton, I know from my own experiences that it can be a bit of a shock. You have an image of certain people and then you get to see what time does to them.

Clay (Charlotte)

Okay, for those of you thinking about going to see Funny People, don't. Wait for it to come out on DVD. There are some very funny parts but 1) it can't decide if it wants to be a comedy or drama or what B) It's waaaay to long, 2 1/2 hours is to long for a comedy.

e (ma)

do you know where we can listen to the nascar race online....im at work and dont know where to find it?

Brian (Madison, WI)

I survived my extended weekend in the northwoods and now I'm back to chatting with you clowns.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Buzz, I would challenge you to a game of Marco Polo but won't since, you know, your so fat and would probably sink.

Matt (IN)

Good morning all. I so did not want to get up this morning.

Hunter (DA)

Buzz, are you coming to us from the ESPN Headquarters in Bristol CT?

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

You betcha.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

My experience at high school reunions told me that while people inevitably look different a few years down the road, everyone assumes the same roles they played in high school.

David (Banning)

Oh crap I had my ten year reunion 10 years ago, does that make me older then Clinton?

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

No, no, no. Clinton just got his GED at an advanced age.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I complain about the auto scroll and Buzz fixes it for me. Thanks, Buzz!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I thought fat people floated.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Yeah, I had that going too, Matt. And in some cases, it was for the better. One girl in particular who was a little homely back in high school was now quite the stunner.

Neal (Philly)

My ten year high school reunion is next year.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

How do you know it's August? The Braves begin their decent into the tank.

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz isn't 'coming to us' from any where. He's sitting on his butt letting us come to him.

Hunter (DA)

Is it true that you show up and get a tour of the facilities and all of the studios?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Ummm, no. You can't just "show up."

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

It was the 10-year reunion of members of Clinton's graduating class that reached 100 years of age.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Just got to get through this week then it's OBX for a week of absolutely nothing. Jealous Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

I would be if I knew what the heck OBX was.

Clay (Charlotte)

My ten year reunion isn't for 3 years...take that old guys.

Chris (Philly)

Tom, if that's the truth, then I'm probably going to get picked on and beat up at mine.

Chris (Philly)

Buzz will give you an in-depth tour of his office/boiler room.

Dave (commack, ny) [via mobile]

good morning buzz! had to get up this morning and go to the dentist. ughhhh

Hunter (DA)

but you can like reserve a spot, right?

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

Only if you know someone that can get in. I think the dudes at the front gate would look at you funny if you just walked up and said you were there to reserve a spot.

Ryan (San Diego)

Chargers camp opens, Peavy gets traded...pretty busy weekend in SD sports

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Buzz captains the tour of the ESPN vending machines.

Marc (Charlotte)

What did I miss?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Absolutely right, Tom. Mine was no exception. All the old groups formed right back up.

Maxie (brenham texas)

can unsigned rookies show up to training camp even without a contract?

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

I think so.

Neal (Philly)

So I will be left out of conversations and picked on because I used to be short.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

BTW, I just took a quick look through some of the ONB comments....I think it's going to be epic today.

Gordo (Fear and loathing)

Buzz, as your lawyer i advise you to post my post, immidietly!

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Outer Banks, NC. Great place to be for a week of relaxation

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, are you going to follow Chris Moneymaker around and hope some $100's fall out of his pocket?

Fake Buzz (Bristol)

This is my toaster..........uh....that's about it.

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, I'm scared.

Neal (Philly)

That has to be the worst spelling of immediately I've ever seen. I would not hire that lawyer.

chaz (sa tx)

wow buzz major tease about the onb, thats turrible

Greg (Ellicott City)

Did you miss me?

Matt (IN)

Epic? An epic disaster? An epic FAIL?

Hunter (DA)

thanks buzz ill catch you later, im out.

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

Cool. I'll notify security at the front gate.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

For a guy who made a ton on the poker tour, Moneymaker sure has a cheap looking monitor in that photo.

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

There's no date on that photo, so who knows when it's from.

chaz (sa tx)

is that supposed to be Gonzo from the movie? good stuff hhhahha

Marc (Big D)

Hmm, can't see anything. Hope I didn't get banned.

Marc (Charlotte)

The GI Joe movie comes out Friday.

Greg (Ellicott City)

It was from when he was a CPA

Jose (Texas)

Red Sox Tainted

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Just stop it.

Pete (NC)

I had something weird happen this weekend. The two movies that came from Blockbuster were In the Heat of the Night and Unforgiven. The killer from In the Heat of the Night is Skinny from Unforgiven. What are the odds of getting two movies that are 25 years apart with the same random actor in them?

RustyC (Louisiana)

Is Julie on the chat yet ?

Nate (Madison)

Has anyone seen The Hurt Locker?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

True story: We had our company outing this weekend at a AAA game in our area. The party box was right next to the visitors' bullpen. Some of the relievers were hitting on a few of our young, female guests. The girls went out back of the box and were talking to a few of the guys while the game was going on. A player put his name and phone number on a baseball and gave it to the girls. Classic.

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

That's smooth.

Chris (Philly)

The Hurt Locker is where the jocks used to put me in high school.

Ryan (San Diego)

Raaaaaandy

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

So does RSN now stand for, "Red Sox Needles?"

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I think someone in here has, and it came pretty highly recommended.

Clay (Charlotte)

Best Simmons twitter from this weekend: Clemens A-Rod Sheff Sierra Giambi Brown Pettitte Knoblauch Justice Canseco Grimsley Stanton Leyritz Neagle. Settle down NYY fans.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I saw the movie Wildcats where one of Goldie Hawn's football players ran headfirst, bull style, into a locker and knocked himself out. Does that count, Nate?

Stupid Kid (1995ish)

Hey, I can get 12 compact discs for only a penny. I should totally do this.

Neal (Philly)

I'm waiting for Internet Tough Guy to comment about the hurt locker.

Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)

People who follow other people on Twitter need to get lives.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz if you are pimping the ONB it had better be worth the wait.

Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)

That's right you little pansies. I'm gonna throw you weaklings into the hurt locker!

Godish (Chicago)

Ah, Columbia House. Got so many teens in trouble with their parents back in the 90s. Do they still do business?

Neal (Philly)

Apparently SportsNation would rather give up alcohol over dessert. Nate and Brian weep for the future.

chaz (sa tx)

dont you have twitter rich rod?

Chris (Philly)

Fact: The ONB has never been worth the wait.

chaz (sa tx)

<---- agrees with J.B.

Jose (Texas)

I'll bet the next name on the list is Albert Pujols

Rich (Douglas AK)

Missed you at Comic-Con Buzz, Spawn says hello.

Rich (Douglas AK)

I've got 6 compressed discs and it didn't cost anything.

Marc (Big D)

The Hurt Locker was INTENSE. I don't think I could be paid enough to walk up to an IED and attempt to defuse it.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

All right, if people aren't going to stop talking about it, you might as well open the ONB now, Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

Yeah good point...plus it seems like not everyone's awake yet anyway. It's slow in here. Sooooo, let's do it.....

Tyler (Utah)

What do you make of the Cleveland Indians and Pirates trades before the deadline? Right or wrong move?

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People that post to the ONB need to get lives.

d.hamlin [via mobile]

I expect to win today i guess... this weekend would have been better though.

Dianne (georgia)

I was wondering why do the commentators from espn always seem to show favortism to the opposite team when they are at the Atlanta Braves Field. I always turn the tv when they are reporting the game from espn. nd that Steve guy talks way to much.

Ryan (Spokane Wa)

I'm kinda getting sick of umpires getting all high and mighty. Did you happen to catch the end of the mariners game where Wilson was called on a swing and miss to end the game. No matter the call, anyone else see Manager Wakamatsu fending off the chasing umpires. They looked like they wanted blood chasing wilson all the way back to the dugout. When are umpires going to be humbled!!??

Nick Colagreco (Philadelphia PA)

was the cliff lee trade a good deal or they have offered the Blue Jays another trade offer

johnny (henderson, nv)

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

Scott. Tasmania. Australia [via mobile]

What would be the worst team to follow in american sports? Any suggestions?

Ian H. (Canton, Ohio)

Jamal Lewis had one break through year in 2003 rushing for 2,066 yards. His two previous years he rushed for around 1,300 yards each

matt j (New York, NY)

why do the red sox suck?

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

And for the grand finale...

Cary Hall (Houston TX)

Why is it that the best most comprehensive Sports network can cover all sports, but Track and Field. This past week USATF held the Junior Olympics in Greensboro NC and not a mention of it was on Sports Center. Doing the same time everyday there was something mentioned about steroids or PHD's in baseball. Why does the media continue to promote this story of negativity instead of focusing on kids that are talented and are working hard to achieve their goals. I am very disappointed in ESPN, as well as MLB, because they think fans are stupid, and have NO memory. Not long ago after the strike when ball parks were nearly empty Mark Mcguire and Sammy Sosa revived the game with what columnist and comentators were calling the magical summer. No one cared about what was happening because fans were coming out to the games. Now both of those guys are villians to the game that they helped save. However, this is not about that it is about the USATF junior Olympics NO coverage at all how sad. Some of these kids will be representing US in the 2012 Olympics. I am not asking for complete coverage, but atleast a mention would have been nice. Think about this the little league world series get coverage, US amatuer Golf get mention, heck the running of the bulls and the chesse rolling chase even get mention. Why not USATF Junior Olympics. Is it because it a "minority sport" did not want to play that card, but given the fact that the world cheerleader competition and the National Spelling Bee got more coverage this point was the 1500lbs in the room. Why No coverage? Why? I really dont expect an answer, but if anyone reads this maybe they will think about it next time. A very disappointed once loyal viewer of ESPN

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

BAM! And that's it....

Nate (Madison)

Buzz, the only thing that Brian really did that was semi embarrassing this weekend was that fell off a table. He was standing on one at a bar, dancing with some Aussies, when all of a sudden *DOWN GOES FRAZIER*

chaz (sa tx)

just get it out of the way before the onb realllly really dissapoints us. go for iit buzz!

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

On second thought...maybe it wasn't as good as I thought. But the last one really raises the overall average. It's a classic ONB post, complete with a two-namer.

Rich (Douglas AK)

Nic Cage is going all Wesley Snipes on the IRS.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'm awake I just have to get some work done because I'm only here until noon on Wednesday this week.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Cary Hall = banned

Brian (Madison, WI)

My head hurts

Matt (IN)

Holy pulse, someone give Cary a sedative

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Jeebus, that was epic.

Ryan (San Diego)

Was that ocho cinco?

Rich (Douglas AK)

Holy Cow Batman, Cary Hall... tell us how you really feel.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I read far enough in that post for the guy to confuse "PED's in baseball" with "PHD's in baseball." That was enough for me.

Clay (Charlotte)

I was unaware that anyone in baseball held their doctorate.

Chris (Philly)

Nic Cage is beating the IRS mercilessly?

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

*throwing random flags at Cary's post*

JB (TX)

Dude, was that the WIR?

Marc (Big D)

Someone loves them some junior track

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

I can guaran-darn-tee that it's the dad of someone who was in that meet.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'm a Braves fan and even I have to laugh at the ESPN Conspiracy Theorists. Uh folks, ESPN has nothing against the Braves and as a matter of fact, the Braves have Spring Training at a field owned by Disney--the same company that owns ESPN!

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Shhhhh, let's not let facts get in the way of a sound argument.

Clay (Charlotte)

Funny, because if I was watching sports center and they started a piece on Jr Track, I would probably change the channel.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

To follow up: I can Jose Canseco heavily involved in PED's. Ph.D.'s, not so much.

Matt (IN)

I liked Ian H's post. Informative and to the point. Although I'm not really sure why he felt obligated to tell us all that.

Matt (IN)

Scott from Australia must be totally out of the loop with sports over here.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

It really was a disappointing ONB until the finale, Buzz. That kind of saved the whole thing.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?

Rich (Douglas AK)

Along the lines of Cary Hall, the World Wide Network should really get some coverage of the Valley Church U-10 Wednesday Night Soccer League.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate wants to throw me under the bus? Not smart coming from the guy that was getting his neck sucked on by a woman that looked like she could be an offensive lineman in the NFL. Learn your lesson Nate, don't toss someone under a bus when they can have you ran over by a fleet of buses.

Buzzmaster

  (10:23 AM)

All right. This whole pissing contest is starting to get really disgusting.

Marc (Big D)

I think everyone would agree, if you aren't blowing away world records (which they weren't) the average American could care less.

Clay (Charlotte)

And let's not forget, Johnny thinks that Vick could challenge Bulger for the starting QB spot.

Chris (Philly)

I guess they've never heard of the Detroit Lions in Australia.

Marc (Big D)

Matt, you didn't hear that this is Jamal Lewis awareness week?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

And why does Scott from Australia want to root for the worst team?

Rich (Douglas AK)

Listen, Ted Turner made the Braves, and now that they are not on every day like they used to be, they have faded.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

As opposed to all the non-disgusting pissing that goes on in those contests, Buzz?

al (ny)

post my comment already

David (Banning)

Why did I read that whole post! That is a minute of my life I cant get back.

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

You're a fast reader.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think Brian and Nate may have jumped the shark.

Chris (Miami)

Wow!!! Tiger WINS and Skip still finds SOMETHING to critique?! He played nobody and he drives awful. Yeah but he WINS!!!!!!! What's would be impressive? To LOSE! Skip you are waaaaay to critical! Btw, all season all I hear is how the Rays and Red Sox are better than the Yanks? You hate the Yankees and their fans sooooooo much that your statement is laughable!

Marc (Charlotte)

Come on Buzz, The Brian/Nate throw each other under the bus contest is rather amusing.

Brian (Madison, WI)

My apologies Buzz, I don't think it gets anymore disgusting then that. At least that I remember.

Marc (Big D)

One last Vick thought, atleast he will be back in Madden. Nothing better than the old 800 yards rushing and 12 touchdown game.

Nate (Madison)

A. Girl was a friend of mine that went to Europe with my school group. B. The sucking of the neck is being grossly overrated and overstated by a one Brian of Madison.

The Fonz (WI)

I'm the only who can jump the shark. EHHH!!!

Matt (IN)

Hey Chris, you're looking for First Take. Next door to the left.

Clay (Charlotte)

Chris, wrong chat, we don't care about the Tigers.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Nate making out with a girl who could be a lineman = not surprising. That is, of course, unless she didn't have a Russian accent.

Rich (Douglas AK)

Can't we all just get along?

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

We do, until Nate and Brian start peeing all over the place.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate should put down his weapon and slowly back away. I have a picture and we have a group on Facebook. Things could get worse for Nate quickly.

al (ny)

tiger tantrums? for or against

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Solution: Get some Depends for Nate and Brian (and Clinton too while we're at it because, you know, he's old).

Brian (Madison, WI)

I would think the chat police would frown upon people peeing all over the place.

Mike (TN)

CHIPPER JONES BETTER NOT B USING STEROIDS OR I WILL HUNT HIM DOWN!!!!!

Chris (Philly)

Isn't a linebacker girl considered a "10" in Wisconsin?

Chris (Philly)

Nice one, JB.

Greg (Ellicott City)

If nate and brian need to pee we should take them outside.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Al, don't care.

Clay (Charlotte)

al, Tiger has more money than all of us combined, thus us discussing his tantrums is really a moot point. He is going to do whatever he wants.

Jake Peavy (Chicago)

Man, I'm glad I finally got away from all of those popped collars in San Diego.

Clay (Charlotte)

Mike, stop yelling. It's Monday, we are all tired.

Rich (Douglas AK)

Nate should hope Briain doesn't go "All Cary Hall" next.

Marc (Charlotte)

Al, I think you're looking for First Take as well.

David (Banning)

I think old al thinks he is the moderator.

Urban Meyer (Chat Ref)

You're either for peeing all over the chat or against it. If you're for it, up in 37F we are giving away Depends to the first 5,000 people that show up.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Rich just made me laugh. Well done.

Nate (Madison)

Wow, Brian is a little *pissy* this morning.

Ryan (San Diego)

Peavy, it was fun while you were here but your 60 million is of no use to us anymore...neither is your bum ankle

Marc (Charlotte)

Urban Meyer isn't the chat ref people. If you're going to fake post than at least get it right.

Ed Hochuli (The REAL Chat Ref)

Urban, what the hell do you think you are trying to pull? There is only one chat ref in the MB. If you need a job that bad, first take is thattaway --------->

jillnorman (norman)

Boy, did I walk into a hornets/bee/wasps nest this morning.

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

Speaking of which, the bees in my wall are dead. But first they found a way to get into the bedroom. We found 8 dead ones Saturday morning. That meant calling an exterminator. Turns out they had a nest in the wall. He smoked 'em out, zapped 'em, then put a residual around the entrance that would kill any coming back.

Jonathan (Madison)

Brian in Madison is mad because he is now offically another year older, the fall from the table was not a sign of how drunk brian was, it was a sign of his body gving out in his old age

Greg (Ellicott City)

can you put a Cary Hall residual around the MB?

jillnorman (norman)

So bees they were.

Steph (Fire Island)

Buzz, that's your problem. It's how you look at things. I look at the dopeness, but you just look at the wackness.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Bees nest in the wall? Yikes. Glad to hear that everything's over with, though.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

jillnorman: You actually walked into either a toilet or a New York City street depending upon your perspective.

Rich (Douglas AK)

and unfortunately more cowbell is not the solution this morning.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Man, we really DO have a case of the Mondays.

Matt Damon (BuzzMansion)

It was really hard to hear the TV with all of that buzzing going on. Thanks for taking care of that.

Nate (Madison)

Buzz just went all Jason Bourne on the bees. Cleaning house.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I wonder if any of the members of the MB Hall of Fame have taken PED's? We need to get Canseco on the line, stat!

Ryan (San Diego)

Speaking of which, I watched Bee movie yesterday...you killed like 8 main characters buzz

Jerry Seinfeld (Hollywood)

Buzz, you should watch Bee Movie

Rich (Douglas AK)

Buzz killing bees? Bad Karma.... *sting

Ralph Wiggum (Springfield)

Buzz, let's Beeeee friends.

Mike (cookeville TN)

SO HOW IZ THE SPORTSNATION?!

Exterminator (Bristol, CT)

Dude, I had a job at some fat guy's house this weekend and ended up getting Matt Damon's autograph! He was just sitting there on the couch!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Thankfully they recognized you as their leader, Buzz, or you, LadyBuzz, and Matt might be buying calamine lotion in bulk today.

Vicki (Indiana)

wow and I thought having termites in my bedroom wall was bad

John Daly (via mobile)

Ped's? Are those people eating donuts......cuz if so I am guilty.

Clay (Charlotte)

Yeah Buzz, PETA will be all over you like they were on Obama about killing the fly.

Matt (IN)

It would've been less costly to just bring in a raccoon

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

My in-laws had a can of wasp spray that had to be at least 15 years old. I sprayed it on a wasp's nest at their house. A wasp landed on it 15 minutes later and instantly dropped dead to the ground. You should have had some of that stuff around, Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

I did. We sprayed all around where they were coming in, but we weren't getting near the nest.

Marc (Big D)

Buzz, got 3 packages of sirloin for the price of 1 yesterday. Any secret recipes I should try?

Nate (Madison)

(Vicki's wall falling over)

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Does coffee count as a PED?

Marc (Charlotte)

PETA, haha.

David (Banning)

Fact: wasp spray does not kill bees.

Marc (Big D)

So wasp spray gets better with age. Who knew?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We had a squirrel in our walls but a little antifreeze/poison soup took care of that little problem.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

I hope you flushed it out of the wall first, or else that could get a little stinky.

Vicki (Indiana)

lol Nate. Fortunately my landlord called the exterminator right after I told her about it.

Clay (Charlotte)

Marc, marinate the hell out of them, sirloins are not the tender.

Chris (Philly)

Fact: Guns will kill bees and wasps.

Marc (Charlotte)

No, Wasp spray 15 years ago was more potent than today's wasp spray.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

What he didn't say is that the spray also killed the neighbor's cat.

Jonathan (Madison)

Judging by the Sportsnation quiz......Minnesota are bigger drunks than Wisconsin, that can not be right?

chaz (sa tx)

Marc marinate with equal parts of a-1 sauce, worchester sauce, whole pepercorn, teryaki sauce, paprika and brown sugar for ATLEAST 4 hours

Dug (Up)

Squirrel!

Rich (Douglas AK)

When Buzz asks if you want some homemade DDT honey, say "yes please".

Clay (Charlotte)

Chris, you must be a pretty good shot if you can hit a bee...Buzz, will you keep an eye on Chris?

Brian (Madison, WI)

Does wasp spray work on Zach Rastall?

Bryan (Reno)

Fact: Nerf guns just agitate bees and wasps

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Uh oh, not the bees/wasps/yellow jackets stuff from Friday coming up again. Make it stop, Buzz! Make it stop!

chaz (sa tx)

dont ruin it for us in texas Chris, guns dont kill bees , ppl do!!

Neal (Philly)

So wasp spray is like wine?

Greg (Ellicott City)

Fact: wasps 15 years ago were more potent than todays wasps.

Marc (Charlotte)

J.B., it's better than talking about soccer.

Marc (Big D)

Fact: Marc in Charlotte does not recognize humor.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

That's illegal procedure against Vicki for using "lol" in the chat. Unacceptable. 5 yards and repeat 2nd down.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

At their cottage up north, my in-laws also had some 100% DEET leftover from the 1980's. I sprayed some on as a mosquito repellent, and it melted the plastic watch I was wearing.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

He had to come out of the wall to drink the soup. We found him between the foundation and insulation and yes, there was a very pungent odor that thankfully did not stay in the house.

Vicki (Indiana)

:P @ Ed

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

That's hilarious.

jillnorman (norman)

I got a nail in my tire and can't go anywhere til I get it fixed.

Chris (Philly)

Ed, was it against Chat Law for Buzz to use BTW earlier in the chat? Or is he exempt?

Pete (NC)

So I just read the ONB post. Is it an instant ban if I tend to agree with some of it?

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

Depends which part.

Marc (Charlotte)

Vicki's just asking to be penalized again.

Clay (Charlotte)

Touche Vicki.

Vicki (Indiana)

that sucks jill. do you not have at least a spare?

Marc (Big D)

Uh oh, Ed v Vicki 1: Rumble on the Monday.

Slick Rick (Jersey Shore)

Does 100% DEET smell as good as Axe Body Spray?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Careful, Vicki. Ed just might run you for that one.

John (Warwick, RI)

Big D's a soap opera because they constantly find a way to screw things up. Dallas is picked as the top team in the NFC almost every year for most part of the decade and they haven't even made it to the Super Bowl or the NFC Championship game.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

We've got multiple infractions against Vicki. 5 yards for illegal use of an emoticon. That is declined. 15 yards for attemping to use Twitter speak in the MB. That is accepted. We'll repeat 1st down.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Marc: Agreed. Some nice pest talk is always better than soccer talk.

Ed Hochuli (Angry)

**transforming into Incredible Hochules**

Rich (Douglas AK)

15 years ago wasp and bee PED's flew around the Vespidae community unchecked until Queen Bee felt they were being unfair to the rest of the insect communtiy.

Chris (Philly)

John, I think you are confused. First Take is thattaway ---->

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Uh, John? First Take is that way --->

Marc (Big D)

Did Rich really just drop some entymology on us?

JB (TX)

True story: I was out on Saturday and met a girl w/a popped collar. Cute chick, but I couldn't take any girl gettin her Ryan on seriously...

Nate (Madison)

Wasn't there some problem with African Killer Bees coming to the US through Mexico? What happened with that story?

Viktor (Vegas)

I don't trust Dallas. That's where Kennedy was shot.

Rich (Douglas AK)

I've got to fly... stay sassy nation.

Nate (Madison)

Girls with popped collars? Holy crap

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

What's this world coming to?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that there are girls who pop their collars? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Bryan (Reno)

The African killer bees turned around once they laid their eyes on The Incredible Hochules!

Clay (Charlotte)

Wow Viktor, does that mean you stay away from all city where public figures have been shot/shot at or just Dallas?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We need a chat GPS to help people find First Take.

Marc (Big D)

Here come the locusts and meteors.

Ryan (San Diego)

She sounds hot

Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)

You're gonna need a GPS to find your dignity after I kick the crap outta you pansies!

Jonathan (Madison)

Just a thought, don't ever take a shot of Yukon Jack and tabasco that has been heated up for 30 seconds in a microwave if you dont want to get sick!!!!! I hate my friends.

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

That's dumb.

Chuck Norris (omnipresent)

the africanized killer bees saw my poster and flew the other way.

Pete (NC)

You guys obviously haven't been in college for a while if you've never seen a girl with a popped collar.

jillnorman (norman)

Popped collars for chicks. I'm into it. Keeps the sun off your neck.

Neal (Philly)

Lunch chat! sausage and pepper sandwich

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

That's a false start Ed. Get on it already.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Hey Ed, question on MB rules. Is there a penalty for using symbols to spell out your name? IE: @|E>< |!tt|Et0n, (0

Chris (Philly)

Is that drink named The Idiot?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

One shot made Jonathan sick? Must not be a native Madisonian.

Clay (Charlotte)

Jonathan you have no one to blame but yourself...and Rastall.

Greg (Ellicott City)

People in Madison know how to have fun...

Marc (Charlotte)

I agree with Pete.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

That's a false start against Neal for trying to start lunch chat early. You know the rules. 5 yards and repeat 2nd down

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Sorry Buzz. I ran out of flags today.

David (Banning)

Won a sit and go that bought me into a 1 dollar tournament (I didn't know this at the time) 12000 people in it. Long story short 10 hours later I got knocked out in 400 place and won a grand total of 3 dollars and 35 cents.

ellis (toronto)

BLT for lunch with a mango gatorade.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Alex, all of those are a blatant violation of TMB rules and will be severely dealt with.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Next shot to try in Madison... Cement Mixer

Vicki (Indiana)

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: General Tso's Chicken and Crab Rangoon.

Jonathan (Madison)

Buzzmaster

  (10:51 AM)

And sometimes you just do dumb things.

David (Banning)

Lunch:cold coors light

Matt (IN)

Lunch: Undecided.

Bryan (Reno)

I just had breakfast, why are we talking lunch?

Marc (Charlotte)

Tom, I take it the stove is fixed?

General Tso (Eatery)

OVER MY DEAD BODY MARC!!!

Dan (San Jose)

heading to the TMR's place for lunch and maybe an early dinner...

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Bryan: It's called living in the east, a/k/a, the only timezone that matters. Get with it.

Marc (Big D)

Lunch: Sandwich with an eater option for a bag of chips, 1 guaranteed soda and a cookie to be named later.

Hoppy (Luck, WI)

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Clay (Charlotte)

Greg (Ellicott City)

Lunch: its peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time...

Chris (Philly)

No need to get HEATED General Tso..........get it?

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, can we name a dish after you when you die?

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

Only if it's good.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Actually, Marc, the stove was fixed the next day. My wife fixed it herself, without having to buy a new one. She's handy in the kitchen, I tell you.

Neal (Philly)

Thanks for the noon Gallo chat, Buzz.

alton (seattle)

coffee and a breakfast burrito for me.

chaz (sa tx)

i can hear the price is right fail song right after chris's heated joke.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I think the scene in The Hangover at Mike Tyson's house explains the shot the best.

David (Banning)

Later Buzz and Nation. Peace.

Bryan (Reno)

Wow, I'm the only person here west of Colorado, guess normal people are asleep at 7:54 AM

Clay (Charlotte)

Tom if she ever leaves you, I'm gonna be all over that...just so you know.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

By the time Buzz dies, Pop Tarts will be known worldwide as Buzz Tarts.

Pete (NC)

Lunch: I am also having General Tso's chicken. But not with Marc.

Hamburglar (Behind You)

i'm coming for you buzz.

Chris (Philly)

I'll be here all day. Or for at least the next 5 minutes or so.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We have a nice dish with a duck pattern on it. I will name that dish, "Buzz."

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Wow, Clay, that was....um, awkward.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Noted, Clay. Creepy, but noted.

JB (TX)

Bryan (Reno)

Jessica Simpson (via mobile)

General Tso is a person? Is he the chicken of the sea guy?

al (ny)

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Co Worker right next to me is fishing in Alaska for 2 weeks. Work is pulse.

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: Not sure, just yet. Might skip it so I can get out of work early today, all depends on how hungry I get in about 2 hours or so.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Why are we undeducated, al? Because we won't talk sports? 1-800-GTOVRIT.

Chris (Philly)

The Morning Buzz: Where the uneducated congregate.

jillnorman (norman)

Catch ya later, Beemeister.

fred (omaha)

Pete (NC)

Wouldn't an uneducated person spell congregate incorrectly?

Rastall (Cyber Hiding)

I am the only uneducated one here.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Alan (Indianapolis)

Lunch: I've been doing subway on Mondays, so I'll stick with that.

Buzzmaster

Buzzmaster
