Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

Goooooooood morning!

Marc (Charlotte)

Happy Friday everyone.

Ryan (NY)

Yesterday like 20 chats and today like 5? Come on Buzz. Good thing I get outta work today at 2

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

It's 8. Glad to see you can count.

Marc (Charlotte)

Lots of chats today, huh Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

That's what happens when you get cancellations and postponements. It was a struggle just to make sure we were covered at all times today...just one of those days.

Matt (IN)

Good morning. This afternoon's chat schedule is pulse. Buzz you gotta get Tim Graham back to chatting. He's always good for wasting a couple of hours

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Like I control things like that.

Marc (Big D)

HAPPY FRIDAY Morning Buzzers!

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

Finally...someone who realizes what's really important and isn't complaining.

Kevn (St. Louis)

What a surprise Fieder avoided a suspension...thanks Bud.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Just another manic Friday.

Chris (Philly)

"Life moves pretty fast sometimes. If you don't stop to look around once in a while. You could miss it." It's the end of an era.

Internet Boston Fan (Boston)

Yankees still suck.

Ryan (NY)

Buzz why dont you just chat all day today? Earn your money.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

On my way to work today I hit a 3-run HR off of John Smoltz.

(Michigan)

Should Michigan Stadium host a bowl game. When construction is complete it will once again have the biggest capacity in the United States so it will draw a big crowd.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

Yes. There's nothing better than Michigan in January.

Trevor (Texas)

In the words of Arnold "Good Morning..." and "Stop whining.."

Matt (IN)

I didn't say you control those things, just asking, nay, begging and pleading, for you to get Graham back.

Hall of Fame Committee (Cooperstown, NY)

Dear Mr. Smoltz,After a great career as both a starting pitcher and a closer, we feel that it would be a good idea if you hung up the cleats. We don't want to see this side of you and want to remember all the great games you threw.Sincerely yours,HOF

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, if you didn't have all times filled, would there be a fill in of MB chats?

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Don't think so. Pretty sure the world would blow.

Eric (Livingston)

I say you control those things

Marc (Big D)

WOW, Buzz it is a milestone. I can't believe you got a real state itself to contribute.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Just got to get through today and then its vacation for a week. Can't Wait. Want me to get you a souveneir buzz?

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Buzz is displaying that ESPN anti-Michigan bias.

Jack (LA)

So how did the MLB Network snake that game from ESPN? I thought ESPN and the Yanks-Sox rivalry had a contract...that's the only way to explain why it is talked about nonstop.

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

Uggghhh...did I wake up and it's Monday or something? What's with all the whining today? It's FRIDAY.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

Stadiums with a big capacity that post on the internet need to get lives

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

And coaches who have those stadiums and can't fill them because he made the team stink need to get lives too.

Ryan (NY)

Yea we don't enjoy anything more than complaining about you buzz.

A Rod (Boston)

Rashard Lewis is just young and stupid

Brandon Baker (Grand Rapids MN)

Its friday and i dont work this weekend! Wheres the champagne? Oh wait im only 4 years under the drinking age.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I have a free hour Buzz, you can add me to the chat list.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Hello, Deep fried bacon is wonderful and a heart attack waiting to happen.

Trevor (Texas)

An all day Buzz chat would be great, but Buzz has more important things to do....like get coffee and make copies for the suits. Also washing their cars for the weekend is a must.

Clay (Charlotte)

Morning Buzz, Happy Friday, get to spend a couple nights at the beautiful Grove Park in Asheville this weekend.

Reggie (Boston)

Good morning all, TGIF!

The Suits (Bristol)

We're going to a 4 day work week. But Buzz still has to be here on Friday.

Ryan (NY)

No, you're just to lazy. And people wouldnt get much work done.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

John Smoltz is so washed up even Brett Favre thinks he should retire already.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! I tried watching the Yanks-Sox game, but man those things drag on forever and forever. They'd been playing for 2 and a half hours and I think they were only in the fourth!

Jordan (Peoria)

Stupid vendors coming in to see me at 9:00...this guy is not getting any business since he is cutting into my Buzz chat time!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Wrong, Ryan. We enjoy insulting Buzz just as much as whining about him. You know, because he's fat.

Marc (Big D)

Jack, hang up on yourself. Do you really think ESPN would make money showing a LA/SF game at 10PM?

Chris (Philly)

Whining doesn't take a day off, Buzz.

tv azteca girl (mexico)

buzz has no pull he proved it when he couldn't even take me out for a burger.

Jack (Chicago)

When I think football, I think winter and snow...so why not have the Superbowl at Soldier? Chicago is a much better destination than Jacksonville was, even if it is -10 degrees.

Urban (Florida)

Buzz with the burn! 37F is not for the Buzzmaster, you get your own box when you're in Gainesville my friend!

Milwaukee Beast Light (Brian's chat)

Dude, don't forget me on your way home. We gonna par-tayyyy

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Swim party tonight!

chaz (sa tx)

Hey buzz brian is on to something! we should be host some time. you know get to know your fellow chatters hour.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

What do you think this is called?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Cue the creepiness in 3...2...1...

Marc (Big D)

Well I was planning on seeing GI Joe tonight, but it is being lampooned as the consensus worst movie of the year. Hmm.

Clay (Charlotte)

No Tom, we enjoy insulting Buzz because we know he has thick skin and can take it, that fat insulates well.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Smoltzy and Tommy Glvaine make me nostalgic for Braves glory days...It saddens me to admit that I didn't want the Braves to sign either of them at the start of the season. I hope they both leave a little more gracefully, because there is still time in their sports careers. With a little bit of work, I'm convinced they both can play senior golf by the time they are fifty.

chaz (sa tx)

* bites knuckles , the azteca girl really said it.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Of all the NBA players to get accused of steroid use, who would've thought it would be the skinny guy that just fires up 3's?

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

Oh, I'm sure he misremembered how he took them, like everyone else that's been accused.

Don (San Francisco)

The Morning Buzz is like standing in a really really really long line for the men's room.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Hint: When they don't screen the movie for critics, it's usually because the movie sucks out loud.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm actually going on a pub crawl in a few hours with my co-workers and we will be drinking Bud Light, you would think we would drink Miller Lite being from Wisco and all, but nah.

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

As a Cubs fan, you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting their rival.

Clay (Charlotte)

The critics said Transformers sucked...I'm not looking for an Oscar winning film. I want tons of action, great special effects and gratuitous "women in skimpy clothing" scenes and I'm happy.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I thought drinking Bud Light in Wisconsin was a felony offense?

Brandon Baker (Grand Rapids MN)

Prince fielder is also fat and he couldnt take a pitch to his BIG thigh. What does that say...besides that he is hungry.

Eric (Livingston)

I thought Transformers 2 was the worst movie of the year. The Rolling Stones review said it was going to be up for "worst movie of the decade"

A-Rod [via mobile]

Loosey-goosey!

stephanie (cincy)

anyone see "Funny People"? I thought I might check it out this weekend. Oh, and RIP John Hughes

Jordan (Peoria)

Going to Wrigley next week for the first time...I will make sure to dress in Cardinal red and raise a Bud Light for you Brian

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

What is the deal with professional athletes that have no idea of what they are taking? Even I know what I am taking!

Eric (Livingston)

I think rashard needs more steroids. He plays PF but couldn't box out nate robinson

chaz (sa tx)

come one guys it was over the counter stuff that made him test positive. hey buzz there is this place called the alamo down here that i would like to sell you.

David (PA)

Funny people is two and a half hours long

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Bud is a Cubs beer...Harry was a Bud Man and a Cubs Fan.

Brian (Madison, WI)

So is it illegal for a Gator fan to drink Jack Daniels since it's from Tennessee?

Jack (Chicago)

Jordan (Peoria) reminds me why Illinois should be split into two states, Chicago and the rest.

Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)

So I see I made SportsNation TV? I wouldn't have known either because I was camping. But, I looked over the transcripts and BAM there it is. My first tweet made the show! I think I'll stop now and stay perfect.

Brian (Madison, WI)

The beer I enjoy has nothing to do with the team that I like. I can drunk off any beer or liquor and still cheer for the Cubbies.

Jordan (Peoria)

So Robbi you are on steroids?

Trenton (Lincoln, NE)

Did you see John Smoltz get pounded yesterday. The Yanks were crushing him.

chaz (sa tx)

no steph but i did see the hbo making of funny poeple. if i could cue cricket sounds i would...

Eric (Livingston)

Funny People was great. Good all around movie.

Clay (Charlotte)

Funny People is long...there are some good parts but no comedy should be 2 1/2 hours long.

Ryan (NY)

BOO YOU Rastall

Brian (Madison, WI)

I just got angry thinking about Cardinals fans.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

What makes a piece of beef "angus certified"? Is this a question for google or can somebody help me out?

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

Depends if you want the right answer or not.

Clay (Charlotte)

BOO Rastall

Eric (Livingston)

It's illegal for a gator to drink Powerade

Gray (Chicago)

Nothing beats going to Miller Park during a Cubs-Brewers game and ordering a Bud Light...the look on their faces as they spit in your Miller is classic.

Nolan (Hartford)

Is it wrong if a giant /met fan eats a philly cheese steak?

Matt (IN)

Harry was also a Cards announcer before he was a Cubs announcer

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Transformers 2 was terrible.

Michelle (SNTV)

Ugh Zach Rastall is so pulse.

Brandon Baker (Grand Rapids MN)

you know what zach? I also made SNTV but you made it right after. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mitchel (Houston)

That's one good thing about being an Astros fan. They encourage you to drink whatever is necessary to keep watching them.

Wikipedia (Internet)

Rajesh, I am your friend. Trust me.

Nick (PA)

cubs suck go Yankees

chaz (sa tx)

angus beef is fed only certain grain. something about being more healthy and a more marbled peice of meat

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

absolutely....for a shoulder injury, but I know what I'm taking!

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Harry was called up from the minors (Cards) to the majors (Cubs). Burn!

Lucas (Pittsburgh)

Ya, and its illegal for a Pittsburgher to eat or drink anything from ohio

Marc (Big D)

I don't think Harry was very picky in his adult beverages. As long as it was cold and plentiful.

Hank Aaron (via mobile)

Well, we know Robbi's on the list so that leaves what, 102? Just release the list! And put Pete Rose in the Hall.

Chris (Philly)

I think Jimmy Fallon and Kathy Griffin should star in a movie and call it Not Funny People.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Wow, Nick, such eloquence and insight. We all should just retire after reading that perfection.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Or seeing the look on the face of a guy wearing a Bears jersey as I'm taunting him about how the Bears suck when I'm wearing a Cubs jersey.

Wes (Tampa, FL)

What up nation and the one and only Buzz, getting ready for Some ACC football officiating, do pop tarts still rule the roost with you Buzz ???

Clay (Charlotte)

Hey, Harry was no Pat Summerall...

Eric (Livingston)

So in the majors they don't win a world series for over a century?

Pete (NC)

It's tax-free weekend in NC for clothes, school supplies, computers, etc. My wife is in a two hour line at the Apple Store getting a new laptop tax-free. Gotta love it.

Marc (Charlotte)

I'm not looking for Oscar worthy out of GI Joe. And what do the critics know. They didn't give Shawshank Redemption Best Picture.

David (PA)

Zero Big East teams in the preseason top 25, 3 MWC teams.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

That's about right.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Has anyone in here played NCAA Football 10? I just got it and looked at some of the teams. Either this year's WR crop is exceptionally good or the game rated them a little higher than most years.

Harry Caray (Heaven)

If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself? I know I would. I would smother myself in brown mustard and relish, I would be so delicious. At the end, I'd wash it all down with a tall, cool, Budwiser.

Marc (Charlotte)

Tax Free weekend for school supplies is discriminatory. I'm not in school and therefore cannot participate. What is the world coming to?

Ryan (NY)

LETS GO CUSE, GREG PAULUS WOOOO

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Take free is nice, but duty free is where its at.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Shawshank didn't deserve best picture. Great film, but that year should have been Pulp Fiction's year.

stephanie (cincy)

But the Big East has about 90 top Basketball teams

Todd (SOuth dakota)

Dealing with crabtree, between the Raiders and 49ers, whose the dummy now?????

Jimbo (Brooklyn)

Loved the Bocanegra chat yesterday. More please!

Clay (Charlotte)

Brian, love the game, there are some small tweeks that really make it cool (like having an actual pocket for your QB) but some of the players are ranked really high.

Greg (boston)

I've decided to use Michael Crabtree's logic of negotiating with ESPN. Even though they gave you the job of chatman, I feel other think I am a more valuable commodity so I will holdout of all non MB chats until thus time as I get paid more than Buzz for my perceived worth

Mitchel (Houston)

GET TO CAMP KNOWSHON!!!!!!!!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

I love when before the draft, players all say, when asked which team they want to get picked by, I just want to play in the NFL. It's my dream. Then, they get picked and they hold out or complain. I thought you just wanted to play?

Matt (IN)

Speaking of yesterday's chats, I think Luis Tiant is still replying.

Buzzmaster

  (10:23 AM)

Luis was awesome. I love talking to old ballplayers. They always have a lot of stories.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Man Harrys minor league team sure does win the World Series alot more than his major league team.

Jack (Chicago)

Kyle Orton was booed at practice yesterday. I love it...GO Neckbeard!!!

Chris (Philly)

Looks like Knowshon is a Noshow. See what I did there?

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

*Insert standard "these guys get paid millions to play a kid's game" argument*

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Crabtree needs to get rid of his cousin.

Mark (Boston)

I don't think I could buy an NCAA game because there's no names. Something about QB #12 touchdown to WR 88 just sucks.

Reggie (Boston)

Buzz, you should try and get Matt Damon to do a chat. I mean the guy lives on your couch, right?

David (PA)

No votes for Duke, I guess Spurrier quit giving them his #25 ranking in the preseason poll.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Is that our beloved steroid chugging Mike?

Marc (Big D)

Agents have waaaaaay too much influence Buzz.

Ryan (NY)

Buzz that was awesome comment. I'll stop whining now, for today only, maybe.

Marc (Big D)

Umm, Chris I think you were going for "Looks like Knowshon was a Knowshow".

Eric (Livingston)

the NFL needs to institute a rookie contract like the NBA and MLB have. Nobody should get $32 mill guaranteed without having proven anything yet

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz are you down with the ONB...

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

Let's do it....

Quentin (Green Bay)

I missed the week of relevent ONB posts! That's a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and I didn't post a comment for it! Curses!

Abel (Indio, CA)

Do you agree with michael crabtree sitting out this season and re entering the nfl draft in 2010?

Emma [via mobile]

Adam Vinateri went to my highschool. come get me chat ref. i know thats yesterday topic but i am going to say it anyway.

Cat (in kennel)

journal excerpt # 127: The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return back inside. He is obviously retarded.

Jay (NY)

Breaking news, the Mets and Jet Blue have just signed a joint deal just with Dr. James Andrews who will personally be working with all 40 of the Mets on the DL while racking up sky miles. Back to the studio..

Matthew (Texas)

Starbucks or Duncan Bros. Coffee?

Abel (Indio, CA)

IF michael vick were to play this season what team do you think would be a good fit for him?

Abel (Indio, CA)

ggggggggg

Mike Phillips (Dover, DE)

Sundance DiGiovanni? What the hell is that? This place continues to go downhill. The SportsNation page loads slowly, the polls are stupid and apparently no thought is given to who is brought in for chats. I can't believe all of this time is given to people who play vidoe games, but there is little coverage of wrestling. ESPN, you are blowing it.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

And that's it...

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

I agree with PTI anytime your advisor is your cousin you are in trouble.

Todd (South dakota)

Rookies just need to keep quiet and play, get millions for doing nothing in the pro level, i would die to play inthe NFl.

Kevin (LA)

Duke football is no longer the laughing stock of the NCAA, they may sneak into a bowl this year. Cutcliffe is the real deal.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

I need Crabtree's advisor..Can he get me a better contract..I'll be happy to hold out till next year-if need be.

Jimbo (Brooklyn)

Speaking of former players and chats, you should be able to get Smoltz any day now...

Jeff in St. Louis (Nascar Nation)

I would have been here sooner but my advisor told me to sit out a year

Marc (Big D)

Oooh Buzz, burned by someone from Delaware.

Chris (Philly)

I think this is the 10th straight ONB where someone randomly asks Buzz what team he thinks Vick should go to.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Wrestling? Really?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

My thoughts exactly. The dude could have had a valid comment, but when he throws that in there, I stop listening.

chaz (sa tx)

i hate cats, especially for calling my dog retarded.

Don (San Francisco)

I always thought ESPN was lacking Dan Rafael's Top 10 Pound-for-Pound Wrestlers.

Francisco (Santa Clara, CA) [via mobile]

I hear that EA Sports is looking into making a WNBA game, would you play it Buzz? (Btw, this story has no truth to it)

Mitchel (Houston)

Haha, yes it is Clinton. True story, I actually played Highschool ball against Rashard Lewis............draw your own conclusions. (No seriously, I really did play against Rashard.)

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

Thanks Mike.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

I think I saw wrestling on ESPN classics. My fav of the espn channels.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

I love Yankee fans talking smack about the Red Sox and how well they're playing. Just wait till October. That's when CC will choke it all away for you.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Look out, ESPN, you might lose one stupid viewer in Delaware!

Marc (Big D)

If anyone here can name one wrestler, I will.... Well I won't do anything.

JB (TX)

Duke football? Really? Cue Rich Rod...

David (PA)

I played high school football against Chad Henne.

Patches O'Houlihan (Heaven)

I like ESPN8, The Ocho.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Didn't Simmons mention on one of his podcasts that ESPN Classic shows some of the old-school pro wrestling matches from the 70's and 80's?

Talmadge (Hickory, NC)

What is the latest info on Raymond Felton and or rumors?

Mitchel (Houston)

It's Mitchel!!! *throws yet another couch off the balcony*

Buzzmaster

  (10:30 AM)

Take it easy Michael.

Greg (boston)

John Cena, who is from the town next door to where I grew up and who I had seen in Starbucks on occasion

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Rich Rod can't say anything about Duke football, cuase you know, his team will do worse than Duke this season.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

I thought Delaware was part of Canada?

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

I agree more wrestling coverage. Do you guys think Andre the Giant will turn on the Million Dollar Man?

Reggie (Boston)

Wrestling is lame, but he kind of has a point there, what is the deal with ESPN covering "professional" video gamers, Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

My guess is probably because it makes money and there's a big interest.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

No, that's Vermont.

Clay (Charlotte)

I live in NC and no one here cares about Duke football.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Watcha gonna do brother when Brian from Madison runs wild on you?!?

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Dude, I saw a Shawn Michaels match on ESPN pre-mullet-must have been mid eighties. It was kind of forming though. To see him mid 90's it was really inspiring to see what a little time can do to creating an outstanding hairstyle.

Marc (Big D)

I just realized he might have meant WWE wrestling when I thought he meant real wrestling. Then I realized my comment still carried the same weight.

David (PA)

Bret Hart G.O.A.T.

Clay (Charlotte)

Professional does not go in quotes there Reggie. They make their living, and a good living, playing video games. That makes them professionals.

Eric (Livingston)

Personally, I've always wanted to be a part of the Madden Nation thing

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Simple, Brian: Distract you with beer while I make my getaway.

Kevin (LA)

It is official, the record has been set for number of Duke football references in a chat.

Marc (Charlotte)

Talkin' dook football may be worse than soccer.

Nolan (Hartford)

ESPN doesn't have any interest in covering the USA Mexico world cup qualifying game? Why are they only showing a rerun at 7 and not live at 4?

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

Says who? I haven't heard that.

Greg (boston)

Here's an idea if you don't like something ESPN covers...Don't watch it, there, problem solved...That's why I deserve the contract, suits

JB (TX)

Seriously, if I knew there was real money in video games I would have spent even less time in class during college (former NBA Live hall champion)

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Nolan, maybe they figure people will still be stuck at work at 4.

Marc (Big D)

Seriously, does anyone think ESPN doesn't know what it is doing? They aren't going to give something airtime or bandwidth if it doesn't make money.

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

How dare you sir? How dare you inject logic into an all out whine and complaining fest?

The Rock [via mobile]

If ya' smell !!!.......what The Morning Buzz....is cookin'

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

We're in the United States, nobody is working these days.

Jimbo (Brooklyn)

The USA-Mex non-coverage is due to Telemundo having the English rights and not selling them for any price. (and also not broadcasting in English)

Jordan (Peoria)

Just give Brian a choice of who to go after and he will be paralyzed by his own indecisiveness

Tom (Milwaukee)

So I heard on Mike

JB (TX)

Umm, ESPN employs Buzz. Therefore they do not know what they're doing.

Don (San Francisco)

I think people stopped being on their best behavior if there's no Michelle at 4pm to impress.

Matt (Manchester via Albany)

Whatever it is, Buzz will be eating it all himself because, you know, he's fat.

Jordan (Peoria)

Yet Buzz is given internet time...There goes the theory Marc

Ryan (NY)

Never lost in Madden, actually I'm owed like 700 bucks from kids.

Pete (NC)

Well ESPN did put Dennis Miller and Tony Kornheiser on MNF. I'm just sayin'...

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

The Miller thing didn't last very long. That's the best thing. Ideas aren't shot down. It's tried out. If it doesn't work, it falls by the wayside.

Marc (Big D)

But all of us come and chat with him. Theory reproven.

Nathan (Boston, MA)

So what do you guys have to say about Smoltz 8.55 ERA?

Bob (Lowell)

P T Barnum may have underestimated the frequency at which suckers are born.

Phil (KC)

And we wonder why China is going to be the world power in the 21st century. They go to school 6 days a week and we spend our time on ESPN chat pages. I need to order Rosetta Stone to learn how to speack Mandarin.

Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)

Rickey wanna know when ESPN is gonna have the ESPN Rickey channel. That would be the greatest channel of all-time.

David (PA)

Love the scene in the break up where Vince Vaughn trashes the kid in Madden and talks major smack.

Robert (Midway,GA)

Hello How are ya'll doing in the chat room?

Gregorio [via mobile]

Where am I?

Matt (IN)

"it falls by the wayside" aka The Pulse gets canned

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

Exactly.

Chris (Philly)

Ryan, it's easy to never lose a game of Madden if you get all whiny and hit reset before the clock expires.

Jordan (Peoria)

But none of use make money so we cant give ESPN money. Theory unproven again!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Oh, dear, Phil is concerned.

Ryan (NY)

Good one Chris. Why don't you come out to NY and we'll play. Buzz will get ESPN to sponsor it and show it on one of the ESPN's. Anytime

Don (San Francisco)

What are you doing for the weekend Buzz? I'm going to play a lot of online poker, probably.

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

Finishing chopping up the tree that fell in the backyard in the tornado that hit a few weeks back. Me chainsaw = ???

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Ive never won at madden. In fact i owe some dude 700 bucks. Sucka aint getting it.

Steve (NY)

Does counting down the days until school starts make me a bad person as I am sitting in my office wanting the kids outside to have their summer vacation end?

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Yes.

Pete (NC)

Here's an experiment. Scroll up to the top of the page. You see that Toyota ad? Then scroll down. You see the "sponsored links"? Yeah, ESPN is making money off of us. Theory reproven.

Eric (Livingston)

Yes, yes it does

Brian (Madison, WI)

I think what the Red Sox need to do with John Smoltz is pretty obvious at this point. I don't think it's worth talking about. Let the guy retire and go to the HOF.

Jordan (Peoria)

So the week started with Brian and Nate pissing all over the chat and is ending with Ryan and Chris pissing all over it

Clinton (Indianapolis)

It's supposed to be in the 90's this weekend. Going to a friend's cookout on Saturday. May have to make a trip to the pool on Sunday.

Don (San Francisco)

If Monday's chat is particularly slow, can we assume the chainsaw won?

Paul (San Diego)

One nice thing about school starting soon is we can make refernces to evnts prior to 1995 and most people will understand what we are talking about in these chats.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Buzz if you run a chainsaw, wear chaps or something to protect your legs, trust me. Worked for my hometown's park department and saw a dude, ok, having flashbacks, gross.

Nolan (Hartford)

Buzz, do you live in Wethersfield, because the tornado absolutely destroyed it. I have a couple of buddies from there and their houses/neighborhoods were wrecked.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Darn it- I forgot my lunch. Thats the second time this week...I gotta eat crackers for lunch again...I hate crackers for lunch

Greg (boston)

John Smoltz needs to go to the Glue factory...

Matt (Manchester via Albany)

Speaking of poker, I was at Mohegan Sun on Saturday in the poker room. I haven't played at all in at least 6 months, and I still won $85. I was pretty happy.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Don't answer that, Buzz! Don't give fred any info!

Jordan (Peoria)

Toyota: Buzz doesnt drive so it is obviously a fake. Plus none of us can afford cars at $20,000 a year Sponsored links: Sexy stomach but Buzz never works out and we all eat too much so that is a fake too....Theory disproven again!

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Damn you ESPN! How dare you try to be a business that makes money.

LadyBuzz (W/ Matt)

Haha, Buzz in chaps. I'm gonna go throw up now.

Buzzmaster's Evil Twin ((Somewhere, USA))

I've never been in a tornado, hurricane, or any other sort of disaster. California rules, suckers!!!! (until the tsunamis come)

buzz i have a new chainsaw, ill bring it over and help you out

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Wait. I thought all those $20K a year comments were jokes. You guys really make only 20K?

Mark (Boston)

Ever heard of a cafeteria or fast food place, Rajesh?

Jordan (Peoria)

We had a hurricane in this chat a couple time...

Eric (Livingston)

Be honest with us Buzz, what is the chainsaw really for?

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

Cutting up chatters who annoy me.

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

Wow....that was really dark for a Friday chat. I apologize.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Buzz would need two pair of chaps. For each leg.

Don (San Francisco)

Maybe Buzz can just give LadyBuzz a photo of a chopped up tree and call it a weekend?

Buzzmaster's Evil Twin ((Somewhere, USA))

There is a reason Buzzy hides his location. He has enemies from his past.

Jordan (Peoria)

Pulse, Steinymerms, Hurricane Jeff...That chainsaw is getting a lot of use

Drew (Buffalo)

Come on Buzz, put us in a good place for the weekend

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

Rainbows, butterflies, birds, sunshine, green grass.

stephanie (cincy)

I have been in a tornado. First, hail the size of golf balls and then the tornado and then sun and a rainbow.

Lydia (BB House)

Wow, Buzz, that was too dark even for me. *paints eyes black*

Matt (Manchester via Albany)

No need to apologize, Buzz. That was awesome!

Chris (Philly)

Is Eminem doing a guest spot as moderator today? Damn, Buzz.

Matt (IN)

Buzz get a wood chipper and move to Fargo and you'll be a movie star.

Buzz (Bristol)

I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

I have a feeling some of the chatters' skulls are far too dense for a chainsaw to work. Sorry, Buzz. I think you're going to have to call the chainsaw warranty people.

Tom (River North)

I've been a few miles from a tornado too. Watched it tear the roof off a house. Not pretty.

Marc (Charlotte)

Sunny days will be keeping the clouds away.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Don't forget puppies, either, Buzz. If you can't smile at a picture of a puppy, you have no soul.

Eric (Livingston)

Don't forget puppy dogs and kittens.

Drew (Buffalo)

a cool breeze on a hot day?

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: Undecided.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Well, it's Friday, so that means heading out. I'm thinking either Chipotle or Steak 'n' Shake.

Trevor (Texas)

Buzz is, whoever he says he is. If he wasn't, then why would he say he is.

Jordan (Peoria)

So on a light note...At the end of the day it gets dark

Marc (Big D)

I am thinking about recording my voice mail message in pig latin.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Lunch: Pizza. Talk to you when I get back Buzz, have fun working next week.

Matt (IN)

Lunch is undecided as of now, but probably Subway.

stephanie (cincy)

And Tim Tebow Buzz.He is right up there with incense and peppermint.

Jessie (BB House)

Did someone say Lydia is here? I really can't decide between crazy Lydia and psycho Natalie. Maybe I'll just take my shirt off...

Buzzmaster

  (10:52 AM)

Way to align yourself with crazy people Jessie - Natalie and Chima. Good one.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

YESSSSSSS, I just found my lunch it was in my car!!!!!!!Its gonna be a good day

Nolan (Hartford)

Would the real Buzz please stand up, please stand up, please stand up?

Mitchel (Houston)

1 on the puppies. We all know I'm the biggest roid rager on the earth, but even I melt at the sight of puppies. They are like steroid kryptonite.

Tom (River North)

I just had a bowl of Captain Crunch for breakfast so I'm not ready for lunch chat yet.

Don (San Francisco)

Having group lunch with the boss's boss's boss's boss. So probably pizza and soda.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Lunch: Steak salad, unsweet tea

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Lunch: Lobster Spaghetti

Marc (Big D)

Lunch: Still searching for good barbecue.

Zach (Bloomington,MN)

Lunch: ham Sammich

Matt (Manchester via Albany)

I don't know about lunch, but I do know that I'm going to see Ten Year Vamp tonight. That show is always great.

Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)

People who align themselves with crazy people need to get lives.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Come to KY Marc, the bar b q is awesome.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

damn I got PBJ

Nolan (Hartford)

Cornerstone Deli

nick (philadel phia)

phillies lee doin excellent

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: Grilling out, then PUB CRAWL!! WOOO!

Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)

Rickey was at the A's-Rangers game the other day. People kept asking Rickey, "Rickey, why are you so great?" Ricky said he was born great and Rickey can't teach greatness.

Tom (River North)

Which Big D are you in? Because if you are in Texas and can't find good bbq, you've got issues.

Drew (Buffalo)

Lunch: No idea but I'm lookin to switch it up a bit but still unsure. Perhaps a chicken sandwich somewhere

JB (TX)

Lunch: not sure but I'm taking longer than an hour. RIP John Hughes.

Urban Meyer (Gainesville)

Rich, you're either for aligning yourself with crazy people or against it. If you're for it, ditch Michigan and come to the SEC. You can align yourself with Saban, Kiffin and Spurrier.

Eric (Livingston)

I love how every single pitcher gets dramatically better when switching from the AL to the NL

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Oh my, Brian is a woo guy.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Have a fun and safe weekend, everybody, and stay classy!

Cory (PA)

Hi, sorry I'm late. Is there still time to complain about Yankees Red Sox coverage?

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Of course. It's Friday, which apparently is complaining day.

Jeff and Jordan (BB House)

We're the only normal people in here. We have to win, don't we? Ok, we might not be the smartest crayons in the box, but still

Chris (Philly)

Lee getting dramatically better? He won the Cy Young, he should be pitching like this.

Clay (Charlotte)

Have a great day SN and a safe weekend. See ya Monday. Peace.

Ryan (NY)

Marc (Big D)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Don (San Francisco)

Have a good weekend everyone. I hope all your Facebook friend's requests come true!

Marc (Charlotte)

This chat was the pulse.

Matt Damon (Buzzmansion)

See you soon, Buzz.

Cory (PA)

Oh and Lunch: Footlong turkey and provolone on Italian herb and cheese with lettuce, spinnach, cucumber, light mayo and black pepper

chaz (sa tx)

griz (kansas city)

Its hard to watch baseball anymore with the era of steroids.

Matt (Manchester via Albany)

It's time to call it a week. Have a good one (and a safe one) everybody and remember to stay crazy, BN!

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

OK everyone. We're done here. Thanks for stopping by. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. Don't get arrested. We'll be back on Monday. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
