Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Gooooooooood morning!
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
OK....now I'll accept late comments. It's 10:01.
Marc (Big D)
I have a bad case of the Mondays. I might OD on caffeine today.
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
TMB,where late happens
Ty Webb (Bushwood CC)
Don't sell yourself short Buzz, you're a tremendous slouch.
Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)
Patrick Kane is obviously a wanna be. Hey Patrick, come pick on a real man. I'd kick the crap outta that guy.
Greg (Ellicott CIty)
Good Morning Buzz. Lunch: Sushi.
David Stern (Chat Commish)
Zach, please do not use the NBA slogan.
Hunter (Michigan)
Why don't they show indy car on espn or abc vary much anymore?
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
They do when they actually race. They go like 2 months between races.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Greg apparently thought Buzz would be 50 minutes late, hence submitting his lunch at 10:01.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Keep that OxyClean away from your nose.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
Greg, that's a 5 yard penalty for premature lunch chat. Still 1st down.
John Kimble (Class)
Good Morning Class...
Brian (Michigan)
Hey, I'm back for today. I didn't even miss me.
chaz (sa tx)
good morning everyone sorry i'm buz....er.. late.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Hellooooo
Christian (High Point, NC)
Will you accept comments about the main page not updating?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
What's that? People in here complaining? We've never heard of that before.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Hunter, it's because Versus does most of the race coverage. ABC only does a few of them.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I am all discombobulated this morning.
Matt (IN)
Good morning. The weekend went by too fast.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
I was thinking the same thing.
Associated Press (World)
This just in: In an effort to console her grandson after his loss to current Middleweight Champion Anderson "the Spider" Silva, Elda Griffin, Grandmother of Forest Griffin, pinched his cheek. Following this brief contact Forrest is reported to have been rendered unconscious but quickly recovered to run out of the room sobbing.
Trevor (Texas)
Anderson Silva vs. GSP needs to occur soon.
Marc (Big D)
I can officially report GI Joe is meh. Hot chicks, stupid story. A good guys movie.
sean (hawaii)
hey guys...good morning. i was watching the cubs game and that blown call from the ump really upset me. dont u think that when a ump make a call like that he or she should get punished somehow. that was clearly the wrong call and if it was a game changing play in a very important game like maybe the championship game that would be wrong.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
sean, you are entirely too upset to be in Hawaii.
Marc (Charlotte)
Were you expecting Oscar-worthy Marc?
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I'm tired, put up corn, did the shopping thing, had a party,watched some football, and grilled out. How was your weekend Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
I too am tired. I ate some corn. I went shopping at BJ's, didn't have a party, but did watch a little baseball and football, definitely grilled out.
Chris O'Donnell (Gutter)
You know what that G.I. Joe movie needs, a cameo appearance by Robin. Instead I'm here sleeping by this dumpster........starving.
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Just wait until your NCIS show starts back up. You'll have a box of your own.
Marc (Big D)
Nope, never said that. Just wanted to report.
Shane Victorino (Philly)
So, I'm not the only hawaiian upset with the ump's calls this weekend?
Brian (Michigan)
Hawaii does not exist. Sean is such a fraud.
Marc (Charlotte)
Not to mention up way to early...
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Well, yeah, but it wasn't, so get over it.
Matt (IN)
Saturday night there was a drunk guy here who impersonated an officer and told some guy to pull over. The problem is that the guy he told to pull over was an off duty state trouble.
Det. John Kimble (Class)
Stop whining!
Matt (IN)
Oh man it is definitely Monday. That shoulda been "trooper" not "trouble"
fred (omaha)
buzz you are pretty good with the grill, no argument here
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I, too, grilled out this weekend, and ate corn . . . grilled corn. Yum.
Reggie (Boston)
Morning y'all, decent weekend aside from the Sox getting slaughtered.
Trevor (Texas)
I read that Forest had his jaw dislocated and couldn't hear out of one ear. It was pretty embarassing, but I couldn't imagine fighting with a dislocated jaw too long.
Greg (boston)
So can we all just agree that the Red Sox are terrible and move on...Thank goodness football season has begun
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
I'm not sure the people in here will let you get away that easily. Not when you're willing to rub it in when they're doing well. You have to take the good with the bad.
Cory (PA)
I have not seen G.I. Joe, but I expect I will only be satisfied if they shoot at each other with red and blue lasers for 5 minutes, from close range, without scoring a hit. Anything less will be untenable.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So Greg would rather watch crappy preseason football than baseball? Really?
Christian (High Point, NC)
Grilled last night. I've now completely switched from ketchup to mustard with hoot dogs, brauts, etc. It's taken an adjustment, but I think I'm better for it.
Internet Boston Whiner Guy (BAH-ston)
We need to bring Pedro and Manny back... and get Papi back on the juice. Where is Curt Schilling when we need him!
Grammar Police (Internet)
Matt, Pull over. I believe you meant to say State Trooper, not State Trouble. Here's your ticket.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
I thought it was intentional. What happens when you run into a state trooper? Trouble... i.e. state trouble.
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
No Cory, they hit each other then fly back 10 ft and jump up and keep fighting.
Eric (Livingston)
Rolling Stone review of G.I. Joe was just plain mean. Made fun of everything from the dialouge to the CGI
chaz's feeling of joy (chaz (sa tx))
*YAAAaaawn.. whats that? football is here again? man did i sleep for 6 months?!?
stacy (georgetown ky)
guys i am really upset and i do not know why please help!!!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Greg is lucky that Tampa played like crap against Seattle. At least Boston still owns the Wild Card ... for now.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Clinton, what was the blacksox scandal like?
Ryan (San Diego)
I would rather watch preseason football than a baseball game every day of the week
Marc (Charlotte)
Knowing is half the battle.
Luke (Bay City, MI)
I had a great weekend. It is not every day you bail someone out at 3am.
Matt (IN)
I'll take that ticket but don't expect me to show up for my court appearance.
Cory (PA)
I vote we rename hot dogs to hoot dogs...they sound friendlier.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
The G.I. Joe don't have the red lasers, but the cobras do get the blue lasers. The movie is not so bad. They realized that nobody cared about character development in the movie, so there is almost none
Buzzmaster (10:11 AM)
What? Character development? Really? You're expecting character development in a movie based on action figures?
Marc (Big D)
I bet Sox fans are clamoring for a Clay Bucholz for Pujols trade in the waiver period. Bucholz might be a bit much though.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Those weren't lasers, for some reason GI Joe and Cobra both used tracer bullets. And made sure to buy different colors.
Reggie (Boston)
So I randomly sent this girl a message on Facebook (I hadn't talked to her in like 4 years) and she was all about getting together sometime. Gotta love it when spontaneous acts work out for you!
Greg (boston)
Actually, Clinton, i would rather watch meaningless preseason football than have the urge to throw myself out a window, usually quite drunk, after another heartless performance...But when do i rub anything in. I've been relatively subdued the past 3 years.
Bob (Lowell)
Apparently Buster Olney and Jorge Arangure are identical twins.
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
Apparently they're not.
Ryan (San Diego)
Facebook stalking...nice!
Chris (Philly)
Fact: Spontaneous acts = drunken messaging.
Greg (boston)
Toy Story was literall about action figures and it had great character developement
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Nope, but there was way too much talking in the transformers movie, they didn't made the same mistake this time
Eric (milwaukee)
GI Joe is almost as bad as transformers, not quite, but almost
Luke (Bay City, MI)
For me, it doesn't matter if it is preseason or the regular season. I am a fan of the Lions.
stacy (georgetown ky)
all right my friend has not called me and i am kind of worried about her and i talked to her friday and i guess she is fine but i am scared that something happened to her please help me calm down!!
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Wow....that is WAY too much drama for a Monday morning. Please stop.
Brian (Michigan)
The GI Joe cartoon movie is better than the live action. Like I said, my favorite childhood movies, cartoons, comic books, etc are being destroyed.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
My first laugh in the MB today was caused by . . . Greg (boston). Wow, that's a first.
Bob (Lowell)
Check the photo on Arangure's chat link.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
Ummmmmmm.....OK. There's a picture of him on his chat page. Big whoop.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Take a chill pill.
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
Stacy, I sure hope your friend wasn't contacted by Reggie in Boston.
stacy (georgetown ky)
stop what buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
*smacking his forehead until he knocks himself out*
Marc (Big D)
I think I got offered a chill pill outside the bar I went to Friday night.
Brett (Butler,PA)
ya think theyll(The lions)carry schwarts of if they win a preseason game?or have they forfeited them already?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wow, people. Sounds like an interesting weekend all around SN.
Bob (Lowell)
Man up Buzz, you screwed up.
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
What the heck are you talking about?
Ed Rapuano (Behin Home Plate)
You're outta here! And you're outta here! Did you just blink at me?! You're outta here!
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
That's a riot.
Eric (Livingston)
sorry stacy, but it looks like your friend has met the same fate as the red sox season
Drew (Buffalo)
Fact: Pat Kane was in a local bar a few weeks ago talking about how he is "untouchable" in the city and can basically do whatever he wants.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
You're worried because you haven't talked to your friend in 3 days? Maybe she needed a breather
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
Either that or she's a 50-year-old dude who gets his jollies from chatting as a 14 year old girl.
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
wow...first laugh of the day cause by Buzz,that's a first
David Ortiz (Boston)
Chill pill? What's that? If it can help Papi hit homeruns, I'll try it.
Trevor (Texas)
Buzz, just hire Anderson Silva to knock you out.
Reggie (Boston)
Your friends here with me, Stace...she's good.
Trevor (Texas)
Shane Victorino wanted to go BJ Penn on Ed...you think Dana White is pulling some strings for that to go down?
Ronnie (Illinois)
Is there only two Major League teams? We continually get the Red Sox and Yankees crammed down our throat. There are sports fans west of Boston in case you didn't know it.
Marc (Big D)
Has there ever been a quicker about face than Shane Victorino had yesterday? I was quite amused.
Luke (Bay City, MI)
Listen...if you are going to ditch the Detroit Lions at least spell the head coach's name right. S-C-H-W-A-R-T-Z.
Eric (milwaukee)
Is kane the guy that beat ub a cabbie for 20 cents?
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
Come on now. It was $1.20. That's a bigger deal.
Vince Young (Titans)
I told you I was going to win the Super Bowl and be in the Hall of Fame baby! I won the Hall of Fame Bowl! I took care of it all at once
Christian (High Point, NC)
So I went to a classic car show on Saturday. When did a Gremlin become a "classic car"?
Urban Meyer (Gainesville)
You're either for drama or against it. If you're for it, we'll have Jerry Springer broadcasting live up in 37F.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Oh please Ronnie, I watch the Cardinals almost every night.( and enjoy it)
Christian (High Point, NC)
I think Ronnie meant West of New York, since, well, New York is West of Boston.
Chris (Philly)
You are right, the cubbies are never mentioned in the MB.
Marc (Big D)
Ronnie, no one cares about Cubs/Rockies.
Brett (Butler,PA)
Pittsburgh Pirates=Best quadruple A team in baseball
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I thought classic just meant it's older than 25 years?
Greg (boston)
Ronnie, that whine is so 2006
Jordan (Peoria)
Except when they are playing well, right front running Kevin (Manassas)?
Cory (PA)
Damn the MB and their landlocked bias!
Washington Nationals (still in last)
We've won 8 in a row baby!
Trevor (Texas)
Hey, the Nationals have rolled of 8 straight wins. Riggleman for Manager of the Year?
Bob (Lowell)
Clinton has been a classic for 75 years.
Sean (Moore)
Sorry I am late, I was locked in my car and had dropped the keys on the ground outside.
Eric (Livingston)
the pirates are like that class in hs where youre just a little too dumb for the advance class (major league) but the standard (minor league) is way too easy
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Sean, those child locks are there for your own protection
Christian (High Point, NC)
Whoa whoa whoa, Kevin (Manassas) is not a frontrunner. He used to be in here every day win or lose posting positive comments. I will not allow his reputation to be besmirched by those who don't remember when he used to post here.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wait, you managed to lock yourself INSIDE your car, yet the state thought it would be a good idea to give you a drivers' license? I'm glad I don't know what state.
Marc (Charlotte)
Christian, Kevin in Manassas is a front runner.
Nate (Madison)
He was here until the after the playoffs last year when they sucked butt.
Cory (PA)
No the Pirates are like the major league's Big Lots, A few decent items and a fair bit of crap, but all priced to move!
Chris (Philly)
You aren't supposed to be able to get out of the back of police cruisers.
Eric (Livingston)
too bad there wasn't a state trouble around to help sean
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, while I'll probably regret this... How about a little weekend ONB to halt the drama.
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Oh yeah...let's do it...
Hector (Hudson,Ma)
I keep hearing about how the dolphins will slump this year because of our schedule,bradys return etc....How do you think the dolphins defense will do ?My thought is they have the talent now to be a top 5 defense.(the addition of Cameron Wake should not be overlooked)
Mike Wall (Tulsa, OK)
Buzz why is there no NBA chats scheduled? ESPN talks about football year round, but they ignor the NBA after the draft is over. There's no reason why ESPN can't have NBA chats year round too. ESPN sucks and you are the devil.
Trevor (OR)
Heck yeah Buzz.. Yanks win in the 15th!!
Eddie (Bangor, Maine)
Yo Stew!! These names keep leaking out from the 2003 MLB steriod list, wish is suppose to be sealed, ya know confidential. So why are they not punishing those people who keep leaking the names; is it not against the law? Whats up with that!!
Derek (Hemet, CA)
I think that Jake Brown beating Bob Burnquist is a big upset because Bob has his own Mega Ramp in his backyard so he gets plenty of practice....Bob Burnquist is stiil my favorite skater though
Booyanks (19607)
Is Arod still on steroids???
Bryce (Minnesota)
Do you think the AL Central will ever be as dominant as other divisions like the AL East?
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People who dare us to try and test Mel Kiper Jr's knowledge need to get lives.
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
And that's it...
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
And then there were a bunch of comments I didn't feel like posting about Luis Tiant being in the booth Sunday night. The ones from Boston said thanks for the interview. The ones from New York said it was too long and ESPN was turrible for letting him in the booth.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Weekend ONB's: Triple the suckitude of a normal ONB.
Sean (FL)
do you think AROD is kicking himself for admitting the roids now? He should have gone with supplements....even the BALCO guys are saying- very plausible. Then again, its not like BALCO is exactly trustworthy...oh what a tangled web of lies!!! I need a hero, a real american hero...too bad his movie was eh
Paul (Ft Worth)
Hi Bryce, Welcome to TMB. This is where we talk about nothing sports related. I believe you will be better served over at First Take.
Christian (High Point, NC)
10:25 and nobody mentioned Tiger yet? That's turrible.
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
He rules the world. What else is there to say?
Christian (High Point, NC)
That was a fantastic ONB imitation by Sean.
Cory (PA)
ONB: When you absolutely, positively, have to voice your ridiculous opinion overnight.
Matt (IN)
Buzz apparently you are the devil.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Hi Paul, Welcome to TMB. This is where we have the ONB to make fun of people who talk about things sports related.
Paul (Ft Worth)
Crap, didn't realize Bryce was in the ONB...ohw ell
Don (San Francisco)
Some days, I feel like Padraig Harrington on the 16th hole.
Coach K (Durham)
Is there any new recruiting news on Darren?
Jordan (Peoria)
Where is our Real Men of Genius guy with a song on the ONB?
Marc (Big D)
Is there anything else to say than wow? I hit shots like that on Tiger '10 and he hits them in real life. That is why he has the video game and I sit on my couch.
Marc (Charlotte)
I'm confused as to who the final group was holding up that they had to be put on the clock.
Eric (Livingston)
the 2003 list is pointless when basically everybody can just use the "I took a supplement I didn't know was baned" excuse
Brian (Madison, WI)
Tiger winning has become an expected thing at this point.
Greg (boston)
I think the steroid lobby was asking Papi to deny it...I mean really, looking like a bowling ball like Papi is not exactly the look the users are going for.
Greg (boston)
I just scroll past the ONB now, if I've read it once, I've read it 1000 times
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
The ONB,where annoying idiots happen
Cory (PA)
Some days I feel like John Daly after the 19th hole.
Sean (FL)
thank you, thank you very much. I also do weddings and high school graduation parties. I make balloon animals. Well, snakes and eels anyway
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
I want a bicycle!
Marc (Big D)
I can't wait for him to rip off another 3/5 major streak and shut up all the idiots who have been saying he can't win the big ones.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
I would like to see it myself. Because this year he's looked awesome in these other tournaments but then he gets to the majors and he has not played well at all.
Marc (Charlotte)
Didn't Ortiz basically use the A-Rod "I was young and stupid" defense? Shouldn't all the Boston fans who took shots at A-Rod be forced to apologize?
Cory (PA)
Manny Ramirez was just trying to get pregnant. Big Papi's slump was only caused by the pressure of waiting for the paternity test.
Sean (Philly)
Went to see Jason Mraz last night. Didn't know who he was before I went. He puts on a pretty good show.
Trevor (Texas)
Yeah, Padraig is very methodic when he plays. He takes his time to analyze the shot thoroughly, he may have felt rushed. I followed him at the Houston Open, and he definately gets in no hurry.
Jordan (Peoria)
Make me a bicycle clown!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good luck trying to get an apology out of anybody, Marc.
Sean (FL)
oh, and by teh way- I hope he wins a whole major, not just 3/5 of one
A Rod (via mobile)
Now that I am no longer young and stupid, I've become pretty clutch.
Luke (Bay City, MI)
For all those people who say he can't win the big one, I want to see them win 70 PGA tour events.
Sean (Philly)
Is Marc aware that Tiger didn't make the cut at the last major?
Marc (Charlotte)
I've seen several Mraz shows. He's always excellent live.
Rj (Boston)
Really Jason Mraz talk? When did Nickelodeon and ESPN cross hairs?
Greg (boston)
Marc, we're sorry, does that make you feel better? Should I write to ARod too?
Christian (High Point, NC)
The PGA has timing rules regardless of where you are on the field. Also consider the possibility of a playoff on timing.
Trevor (Texas)
A-Rod, clutch doesn't happen in August. Become clutch in October then get back with us.
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
What? That's ridiculous. Clutch is clutch. You're either hitting HRs in the bottom of the 15th to beat your biggest rival or you're not.
Tiger Woods (Florida)
That's right chumps, keep on doubting me......you'll see.
Cory (PA)
Be right back...it's Poptart-30
Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)
Buzz, I'm here. See me now?
Paul (Ft Worth)
A-rod is clutch in non-clutch situations...0-0 ballgames, ahead by 5, down by 6, etc...
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
How is 0-0 non clutch?
Jordan (Peoria)
Because helping your team get to the playoffs isnt clutch?
Greg (boston)
Now I will only take shots about ARod still being terrible in the playoffs, the weird obsession he has with Derek Jeter, the fact that he hooked up with Madonna well after her fastball had fallen below Tim Wakefield territory...
Marc (Charlotte)
I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of it all now. Simmer Greg.
Marc (Big D)
Buzz, that is true but he could sure use a performance better than 3-31 in October to help his overall legacy.
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
He's a career .279 hitter in the playoffs and .315 in the 3 ALCS he has played in.
Jonathan (Madtown)
Betting on preseason games? Losers!
Urban Meyer (Gainesville)
You're either for beating your biggest rival or against it. If you're for it, don't be young and stupid, buy a ticket for 37F and watch us beat everyone!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Pointing out hypocrisy? Won't someone think of the taxpayers?!?
Eric (Livingston)
It's not like he hit a walk off against the royals in april. It's august, the 15th inning against the Red Sox. If Papi hit that HR boston fans would still be dizzy from the excitement.
Chris (Philly)
A radio commercial that I actuall heard that nearly made me fall out of my seat: "The wait is over.....the tour that has been 7 years in the making......the concert event of the summer.......Creed is back!" I'm still laughing.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Are we really going to have the A-Rod isn't clutch in the playoffs discussion again? *puts on the helmet*
Sean (FL)
if I was the hall of fame class of 2009, i would be ticked off at the teams they had playing in the game. Well, that and the uniforms they had to wear.
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
How dare you sir....the throwback unis were one of the few things good about that game last night.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I hate it when people try to claim someone is or isn't clutch. It's an anecdotal stat and it's used to prop up someone who doesn't have big numbers (cf Jim Rice) or put down someone who has big numbers but hasn't won it all (cf A Rod). All those who use 'clutch' need to dial 1-800-GTOVRIT
David (Banning)
throw all the stats out you want Buzz, you know the truth!
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
What? That people are ridiculous?
Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)
We got to see future Hall of Famers too, like VY.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Agreed. I saw some of the game last night, and thought the throwbacks were a nice touch.
chaz (sa tx)
love that putting on helmet line.
RJ (Boston)
The AFL throwbacks were great. 'specially Buffalo. Good look.Sean has been nutso twice this morning.
Chris (Philly)
Scott Norwood is NOT clutch.
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
I think that's something we can all agree on.
Christian (High Point, NC)
If I was in the HOF class of 2009, I would've been proud and happy to have made it to the HOF and not really concerned about the game at all.
Nate (Madison)
I don't really start watching preseason games until the second or third game when the starters and second stringers are playing.
Cory (PA)
A-Rod is turrible. He didn't even make the cut in his last major!
Jordan (Peoria)
Yeah Buzz use all the facts and logic you want, but you wont be able to get passed peoples idiocy!
Brian (Michigan)
Ray Finkle is not clutch.
Ray Finkle (Miami)
LACES OUT DAN!
David (Banning)
Fact:That kick by norwood was the longest kick he had all season.
Clay (Charlotte)
*waves* Buzz, Joan Rivers Roast? Did you watch it?
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
No.
Chris (Philly)
Nice one, Cory.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I can barely get past my own idiocy every day
Don (San Francisco)
I still don't like the faux gold jackets the HOFers wear. They look like out of place golf club members.
Buzzmaster's Evil Twin ((Somewhere, USA))
*dialing number Christian gave* Hello? *listens to string of obscenities until hanging up*
Paul (Ft Worth)
is idiocy the same as ignorance? or is idiocy when you ignore the facts?
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Anyone else appreciate the irony that Clutches themselves aren't exactly very clutch?
Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)
Rickey is clutch, clutch is Rickey. Rickey is the clutchest of all-time.
David (PA)
the hoosiers kid who made the underhanded free throws is clutch
Brian (Madison, WI)
I watched last night's preseason game, but preseason games I only a little bit of attention. I watched the beginning and then when they started cycling out starters my attention started wavering.
Marc (Charlotte)
Wait, Nate and Brian aren't arguing about their weekend escapades?
Shooter McGavin (18th hole)
Give me that jacket!
Eric (Livingston)
Please don't talk about the Joan Rivers Roast. It aired for the first time last night. Give those who missed it a few days to catch up
Christian (High Point, NC)
That's be a great SN poll, Buzz: Which jacket would you rather have, the Gold NFL HOF Jacket or the Green Masters' Champ Jacket?
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)
Done. I'll put it up when we're done with this here chat.
Clay (Charlotte)
Eric, it's not my fault if you don't have the dedication to stay up until midnight on a Sunday to watch it.
Nate (Madison)
I didn't have the most eventful weekend. Was out Friday, not a log going on and stayed in the rest of the weekend to do homework.
Lady Buzz (Conn)
I hate yellow jackets!
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)
That is the truth.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
That fake punt was pretty cool. When else would you get to see that but in a preseason game?
Greg (boston)
If it wasn't for idiocy, buzz wouldn't have a job...So watch yourself
Clay (Charlotte)
College football they would run that play.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
The "give me a few days to catch up" comment made me laugh. We've got an attention span of a few hours, like we will get back on this next week
Alex (Littleton, CO)
My vote: Gold Jacket. It means you have been successful for many years, meaning many years worth of money. Just winning the masters only guarantees you something like $1.5MM.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I have more beef with Nate's roommate after the weekend then I do with Nate.
Pedro Cerrano (Cleveland)
Straight Ball I hit very far, curveball I no hit well. Bats are afraid of curveball. I ask Jobo to come and take fear from bats.
Ryan (NY)
Jeez, could not partake in the MB today. But it's my last week of internship and I got 10th pick (last pick) in my fantasy draft on saturday, but I am happy. Hope I didnt miss to much fun. and Boo Rastall
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
I'm going to take the Titan's punter over Michael Turner in my upcoming fantasy draft.
Eric (Livingston)
Green Jacket. Sorry, but it's a more prestigious group.
David (Banning)
gotta go to work.....Mondays are the suck. Stay classy Buzz and Nation. Peace.......oh and buzz is fat!
Vince Young (Tennessee)
See everyone? I should be an NFL starter. Did anyone else throw a touchdown pass last night? I think not!
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
The gold jacket means more in terms of body of work, but you received the green jacket at the end of one of the most important open of the year, while you receive the gold jacket in a preseason game
Matt (IN)
Hall of Fame jacket > Green Jacket.
Sean (Philly)
My vote: Green Jacket. A victory on golf's most hollowed ground, over a million in money, plus you have to have done well to qualify for the Masters, and all of the side money you can make in corporate events. Combine that with the fact that most golfers can still walk when they get old.
Clay (Charlotte)
VY, your first pass was a pick, shut up.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
David (PA)
Green jackets come after a weekend of golf, gold jackets come after years of getting your head knocked in. Ill take the green one.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
football>golf
Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)
Lunch: whatever my mom makes me.
Shane (Idaho)
Does anyone else have female co-workers that think you care about their dog and kids so they take up 30 minutes of your MB time to tell you about them?
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
Why does it only have to be female co-workers?
Mike Golic (ESPN)
POTROAST!!!
Trevor (Texas)
HOF Jacket in a close one. I'd rather be great for many years, than be great for one tournament.
Sean (FL)
leather jacket > yellow and green jacket but a yellow jacket (bee, wasp, etc) > leather jacket
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Lunch: leftover lasagna
Shane (Idaho)
Doesn't really but it is in my case
Eric (Livingston)
the question isn't football vs. golf. it's yellow jacket vs. green jacket.
Greg (boston)
The fact that people are discussing the merits of a green jacket vs. a yellow...Um, I prefer michaels red jacket from the video thriller personally
Paul (Ft Worth)
tiger>football>golf
David (PA)
lunch: I want what ben's having.
Marc (Big D)
Nope, I only have a guy who loudly groans and listens to phone calls on speaker phone.
Marc (Charlotte)
It's supposed to be 97 with a heat index over 105 here today. That's hot.
Don (San Francisco)
Lunch: A sandwich and spontaneous Facebook messaging.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Yeah, Shane, and do they use a goofy voice to imitate their kids? I know the feeling.
Cory (PA)
Lunch: Chicken Caeser Salad
Clay (Charlotte)
I would rather wear a green jacket, yellow just isn't a good color on me.
JB (TX)
Lunch: likely McDs. And if we're talking jackets I gotta go Members Only.
Drew (Buffalo)
Lunch: Taco Bell. chicken quesadilla
Marc (Big D)
Lunch: Something cheap, probably a $5 footlong.
chaz (sa tx)
you cant hate it if someone has both jackets, that would be two-thingsism
Paul (Ft Worth)
yellow jacket = equals lifetime achievement ... green jacket = (more often than not) a one hit wonder
Buzzmaster (10:53 AM)
That's totally false on the green jacket statement.
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: 5, $5, $5 Footlong.
Buzzmaster (10:53 AM)
I had that this weekend.
Paul (Ft Worth)
ubwaysay for lunch
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
I would rather have the Fonz's leather jacket than a yellow or green jacket.
Brett (Butler,PA)

Tommy Tutone (in the studio)
Did someone say One Hit Wonder?
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Lunch: Grilled burger, unsweet tea.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Lunch: Ham and Cheese or Boss might take us all to Mac Grill.
Sean (Philly)
I think they should just start having the Nascar races on Monday...at least while I am unemployed.
Don (San Francisco)
Green jacket/Yellow Jacket > Belichek's hoodie
Christian (High Point, NC)
Lunch: Found out that another Harris Teeter nearby has a sushi section in their deli, so I'll be picking some up.
Clay (Charlotte)

Brian (Madison, WI)
If you know anything about golf you know the other 3 majors produce more one hit wonders than The Masters. Take a look at the list.
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
People who STILL speak pig latin need to get lives.
Reggie (Boston)
Damn I don't think I'm going to be able to contribute as much, there's just too much work to do, Buzz.
Harry Houdini (NY)
I prefer a straight jacket.
Cory (PA)
Where are your priorities Reggie?!
Eric (Livingston)
igpa atinla?
Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)
Area code, Clay?
chaz (sa tx)
i had my little brother (9Yr old) tackle one of those mini cattles, so for lunch i'm making a homemade mini buffalo sandwich
Brett (Butler,PA)
Lunch:a Subway chicken and bacon sammich
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
And by work, Reggie means more Facebook stalking.
Marc (Big D)
Um, Brian I think Shaun Micheel and Rich Beem may have something to say about that. Oh wait...
Clay (Charlotte)
Ben, Tommy Tutone never gave the area code.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
1/2 day on Friday and then Vacation all next week, I am going to miss the MB...no way I am waking up...I'll be in pacific time zone.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And Todd Hamilton. And Ben Curtis.
Cory (PA)
I prefer Twitter, much more efficient use of my stalking time, plus I can multitask.
Brett (Butler,PA)
well seeya buzz,gots to go help my brother and his wife move right beside me.(for all the people that havent finished grade school yet that means theyll be my neigbors.)Happy Monday Everybody.
perry (Taunton, Mass)

Doc (in the Delorean)
roads? where we're going, we dont need roads!
Rachael Ray (NY)
Lunch: Whatever I can make in under 30 minutes.
Reggie (Boston)
I didn't realize sending one message to an old friend was stalking, CAL. Doubt she'd wanna do anything if I was stalking anyways.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Marc those two won PGA Championships, I said that that major produced more one hit wonders. They aren't Masters champions.
Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)
Hard day today. Lots of Josh Hamilton-ing and laying by the pool. See you all tomorrow.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Everyone have a good day, bye y'all.
tom* (parkville, md)
I'm using my first posting of the day to say...Bye-Bye!
Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)
If you're over 22 and you facebook chat, you need to get a life.
Clay (Charlotte)
Peace.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright, people, stay classy!
Cory (PA)
Say goodnight Gracie.
Marc (Big D)
Um, I was being sarcastic hence the "oh wait...".
chaz (sa tx)
see ya in the afternoon buzz.
Justin (Rockford)
I guess I will have to meander over to the First Take chat, have a good day Buzz and MBers!
Marc (Charlotte)
Are you defining one hit wonder as, one major championship or one victory total?
Brian (Madison, WI)
People are obviously reading my post wrong.
Buzzmaster (11:01 AM)
OK everyone. We're done here. Thanks for stopping by. We're back this afternoon with the best SNTV show yet! And we'll be back again tomorrow morning. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Sean (Philly)
Late
Marc (Charlotte)
What's wrong with Facebook chatting. It's an easy way to keep in touch and have multiple conversations simultaneously.
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
Have a good one Buzz, and Reggie, take a chill pill.
Reggie (Boston)
I'm 22! Got til November til I have no life!
Alex (Littleton, CO)
