Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Goooooooooooood morning!
Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Before we get started, I just wanted to apologize for my "indiscretions."
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
My actions against the nacho table yesterday where they were showing the USA-Mexico game were an embarrassment. I apologize to SportsNation and to the most important friends and family in my life.
Bob (Lowell)
According to the poll, not only is noone excited about soccer but noone outside of Pa. is excited about the poll.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Did you stay classy last night Buzz?
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Good morning and happy Thirsty Thursday sportsnation.
Cory (PA)
Gimme summa dat sweet sweet Mornin' Buzz
Greg (Ellicott City)
How late will Buzz be today?
Sean (Philly)
Buzz, can I borrow the inflatable TV for my Super Bowl party?
Marc (Big D)
The last major of the year, will Tiger finally be able to get it done and win a freakin' tournament?
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Yeah, cuz those other 5 he's won this year don't count.
Clay (Charlotte)
Is being fat an indiscretion? Morning Buzz.
Bob (Lowell)
Hey Buzz, the NE qualifiying round for the LLWS is being held in Bristol. Have you gone to any games?
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Not yet.
Eric (Livingston)
Is it Buzz, is it?
stacy (georgetown)
hey buzz!!!
Matt (IN)
Good morning everyone. The Cubs fans must've thought that was Nails out there.
Adam (syracuse,ny)
Good morning buzz. I'd hate to be debbie downer so early but, where is the consistency from MLB? Garza admits he hit Tex on purpose and doesn't get punished, but Porcello gets 5 games for admitting not hitting Youk on purpose and not wanting to fight?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Thank you for your apology, Buzz, but isn't it like six years too early?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Good point. Forget I said anything.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Good morning everyone.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Non-alcoholic margarita? Nate and Brian won't be proud
Matt (Jacksonville)
First of all, why is porn star Evan Stone in the MB? Secondly, Cubs fans are a little frustrated right now
Clay (Charlotte)
Did you hear about Best Buy offering a 52" TV for $9.99 on their website and then saying it was a mistake and not honoring the deal?
Nate (Madison)
Non-alcoholic margarita? Waste of time.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Drinking a non-alcoholic margarita is pointless.
Clay (Charlotte)
Non-alcholic Margarita? You know that's just sour mix and lime juice...gross.
Tom (River North)
Non-alcoholic margarita? Isn't that just lemonade?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Speaking of classy, how about all the Mexico fans chucking coke cups at Donovan when he's trying to take a corner kick?
David (PA)
In regards to phillies fans' outrage to Victorino having beer thrown at him; I want to point out that phillies fans threw D batteries at JD Drew once.
Marc (Big D)
I want to get on Cubs fans badly, but I am a White Sox fan and we haven't exactly amassed a polished reputation. Bummer.
Nate (Madison)
Get all the calories of a margarita but don't get to reap the rewards.
stacy (georgetown )
go cards they stink
Associated Press (World)
When asked about Pedro Martinez's first start since bumping him from the Phillies rotation, Jamie Moyer was quoted as saying, "What'd he do? 3 runs over 5 innings? I coulda went 6 innings and given up TWICE as many runs! Now get off my lawn!" The Phillie Phanatic could not be reached for comment.
Brian (Madison, WI)
The guy just threw his beer at Victorino because he looked thirsty standing out there in CF.
Pete (NC)
Took a golf trip to Cleveland this week. I found out the hard way why it's not a good thing to crash a cart into a tree.
Greg (boston)
I never understand why fans throw their beers. Seriously, that's like 10 bucks
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Maybe the guy finally realized he was drinking Bud Light.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I wonder if Jeff Szmardjia wishes he'd decided on the NFL instead of MLB?
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Why? He's still making more money than he would have in the NFL.
Sean (Philly)
But did we hit him?
Paul (Ft Worth)
A golf trip to Cleveland? I really hope there's a Cleveland, Ireland...cuz a golf trip to Cleveland Ohio is just ridiuclous
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Philly fans = batteries, Dodger fans = bottles, Cub fans = beer, White Sox fans = father/son beat up old men night. I LIVE FOR THIS!!!
Scott (Brewtown)
Non alcoholic drink = jumbos shrimp = world's tallest midget etc....
Matt (Jacksonville)
Also, you can't really blast a whole fanbase because of one drunk fan. This wasn't like a large number of Eagles fans cheering Michael Irvin when he was almost paralyzed
Rick Pitino (Louisville)
Buzz, I'll pay you $3k if you make the chat more interesting.
Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]
He wasted a beer. No excuse.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Good point, Buzz. Plus the only thing getting bruised in MLB is Jeff's ego.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Its not Cubs fault that Philly fans have poor aim...
Dylan (St. Louis)
Cubs fans do that kind of stuff all the time. Have you ever seen something like that at Busch?
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
I'm sure it's happened. It happens everywhere.
Marc (Charlotte)
Did the tree sneak up on you?
David (PA)
Does it matter if you hit him? Its the thought that counts. Oh and Santa is still angry about the snowballs
Robert (Huntsville, Al)
I got to see the pictures of my surgery on my rotator cuff. There were at least 20 bone spurs along with the cuff tear and a labrum tear. No wonder it kind of hurts right now...hmm...
Greg (Ellicott City)
Can someone please knock Dylan down off his high horse so i can dump a non-alcoholic margarita on him?
JB (TX)
Hey, LenDale White lost 30 lbs cutting out tequila, so maybe there's something to the non-alcoholic margarita.
Matt (Jacksonville)
There are a lot of good chats today, Buzz. Keep up the good work of distracting me from doing work
Nate (Madison)
Cubs fans always get passes. "Loveable losers, etc" Shenanigans, they did the same thing to Braun last year throwing trash at him. Cut out the Loveable part and you have it correct, losers.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Now, now. There's no reason to get mean because the Brewers have decided to give up and send the entire team to AAA.
Scott (Brewtown)
St.Louis fans are just arrogant sob's that think they are God's gift to baseball. PUKE!!!!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Oh, please not the "our fan base is holier than thou" crap...
Paul (Ft Worth)
I'd like to welcome St Louis homer, Dylan, to TMB
Marc (Big D)
Gotta give props to the Flyin' Hawaiian for still making the catch. That is getting a bit overlooked.
Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]
Theres is no point to it.
JB (TX)
How awkward would it have been if Ron Artest was playing CF for the Phils last night? Whew! Disaster averted...
Robby (Mechanicsville, VA)
Whats the deal I have posted 3 things and none of them have come up???? What gves this is supposed to be a chat not a only put what I like session
Buzzmaster (10:11 AM)
No, it actually is that.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
That's funny. Brewer fans calling Cubs losers.
Nate (Madison)
Hey Buzz, it's rebuilding for next year and 2011...not giving up. Come on, half-full not half-empty.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I wish bad things on the Cardinals. Since I get ripped on for cheering for every team anyways, my new favorite baseball team is whoever is playing St. Louis.
Mike (St. Louis)
Buzz-Weis-er
Matt (Jacksonville)
Buzz, you should always posts Robby's comments because he hails from Mechanicsville.
Shane Victorino (Chicago)
Got pulled driving to the hotel yesterday. Had a hard time trying to convince the cop I didn't drink
chaz (sa tx)
BUUUUuuuuuuRRRRrrnn RObby
Nic (Canner-Medley)
I'm from Maryland and no one can beat me.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Wow...that's totally random. Although, Nic, you're from Maine.
Reggie (Boston)
I gotta admit, Buzz does host one helluva only put what I like session.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Who is this Robby?
Nate (Madison)
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRIAN!
Bob (Lowell)
The thought of anything non-alcholic really riles up those folks in Madison.
Dylan (St. Louis)
That is good Brian, I heard you are bad luck.
Nate (Madison)
Losers in regards to personality not win-loss but I wouldn't figure a Illinois resident to understand that. Plus Cubs fans, you'll be exactly where the Brewers fans are in October...watching the Cards in the playoffs.
Clay (Charlotte)
Speaking of Maryland, did you know there's a town called Parole, MD?
JB (TX)
Hey, did anyone watch Hard Knocks last night? I thought it was pretty good, appears to be less "produced" than the last 2 (Chiefs, Cowboys) and a little more real. But I'm pretty sure the Bengals are still gonna suck.
Dre (Michigan)
Is any one else tried of the double standard in college. if a staff member had done the same thing Rick Pitino did they would not have there job. but if u can fill the seats and win lots of games it ok to make the univerity look bad
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
I don't get the hype here. Sure, he's a schmuck for cheating on his wife. He had an affair. The only reason it's big news is because the woman tried to extort him. If she hadn't, we would have never heard about it. Heck, we didn't for 6 years.
Sean (FL)
Speakign of MD, did you know that ESPN's own Scott Van Pelt attended U ofM. And speakign of Scott, be sure to stop by and catch his chat at 1PM. (no thanks needed buzz. I would ask for par of your salary but half of nothing is still nothing)
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
No, I think you actually owe me money now.
Jay (Minnesota)
Just saw stallworth suspended for entire season. thats way too harsh
Jonathan (Madtown)
Hey Cubs what does the 3rd highest payroll get you? Injuries, a seat at home in October, and a tean full of aging 30 year olds.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
Who are these "aging" players?
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Stallworth killed a human being....I think he has a year's suspension coming to him.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Losing a lot of games and empty seats are worst for the image of the university the the basketball coach having an affair
Nolan (Hartford)
Buzz, workin' the magic I can see (------->). Lotta chats today.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
We are all aging, Buzz. Some just more graceful than others.
Larry Eustachey (So. Miss)
All I did is go to a college party and drink some Natty Lite and I got canned...
Greg (Ellicott City)
atleast hes not serving his year suspension in jail...
Sean (Philly)
A year seems about right to me...
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
DLee, Aramis, Soriano (who might be over 40), Bradley, Lilly, and Dempster are all well into their 30's....Cubs window is closing (sadly).
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Of all those guys you mentioned, DLee is the oldest at 33. The rest are 31 or so. That's not really "well into their 30's."
Kevin (Missouri)
Stallworth's suspension is a joke. Vick gets two years of federal prison for dogs and Stallworth get 24 days in county jail and 1 year suspension and automatic reinstatement in Feb of 2010, AND HE KILLED A HUMAN BEING!!! It's a joke!!
Eric (Livingston)
If everyone who cheated on their wife got fired from their jobs the US would have the highest unemployment rate in the world
Chris (Philly)
Chats slowing down. The Suits' latte must be ready.
Stan (Austin, TX)
Buzz, are you going to buy one of the schools new NCAA inspired cologne? Do you want to smell like a Tiger, Nittany Lion, or a Tar Heel?
Matt (IN)
I was willing to give Stallworth a chance, but then he went back and tried to change the lucky deal he got in the first place. That's pulse right there.
Mike (St. Louis)
Not sure aging players is the problem in Chi town. It appears more a problem with the temper tantrums they have...
Sean (Philly)
Wait, so I am unemployed and aging? How depressing.
Jeff (BB House)
Buzz, do you think I should use the power tonight? Everyone else hates Russell, but I could save him.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Cubs might as well be moving around with the aid of a walker.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Buzz you are breaking your own rule of introducing facts into an irrational MB argument. Ed Hochuli might be chiming in soon.
Cory (PA)
The Cubs window closed 101 years ago. They'll never win until they tear down Wrigley.
Jeff (Virginia Beach)
Cubs window is closing implies that it was actually open. That team stinks, even if they got threw their division they're lightyears behing Philly in a 3 game series.
Jonathan (Madtown)
Soriano, Lee, Dempster, Harden, Fukudome
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Harden is still 2-3 years from being 30. How is that old?
Marc (Charlotte)
Quality chat today, tough to get posted. I need to pick it up.
Brian (Madison, WI)
It might take me to the end of the chat to decipher what Jeff from Virginia Beach said in that post.
Matt (Jacksonville)
(Frantically trying to change the Cubs conversation) So how about that PGA Championship? Rory McIlroy leading at -2
Lou Piniella (Chicago)
Did someone say walker?
Eric (Livingston)
Buzz is more of a Tiger with Tar Heels
Scott (Brewtown)
The UPS guy just walked in. There's something wrong about a 6 foot 7 dude wearing short brown shorts and a brown shirt. It ain't natural
Robert (Huntsville, Al)
Signs you are getting old:I just had my new LG front loading washer and dryer delivered and I'm way to excited about this... ugh...
Clinton (Indianapolis)
You mean I could play for the Cubs? Nah, I'll pass.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Looper, Cameron, Kendall, Suppan, Counsell
Clinton (Indianapolis)
All this Cubs talk makes me yearn for a palate cleansing. ONB?
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
Let's do it....

FREE BEER SHOWERS!!! COME GET YOUR FREE BEER SHOWERS!!!
fred (omaha)
buzz i love nachos and i was in bristol, why didnt you invite me?
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
Chat hosts who use puns and then destroy the nacho table need to get lives
John Rema (Athens, GA)
The security guards got the wrong guy at the cubs game, if you watch the video closely you'll see a skinny guy in a hat throw it and the guards drag out the fat guy. In the clip where they show the fat guy getting dragged out you can see the real guy chuckling.
Adam O (Las Vegas, NV)
I think the Cubs fan who threw the drink at Shane Victorino should be banned from Wrigley Field permanently.
Ben (Madison, WI)
A bat just flew at my head but I think I corralled it into the attic. Hopefully it doesn't attack tonight. If you don't hear from me tommorrow, avenge my death...
marcus ellis (dorchester)
hi, do you haft to play little leage football before playing highschool football?
David Julian (Soccer)
Did the officiating of the U.S.A. Vs. Mexico match look one sided to u? It sure did to me The U.S. got screwed!!!
james (texas)
with rios going to the white sox do you think it will make them a better team because rios is batting a .264 with only 14 homeruns
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
And that's it...
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
Not sure if that just made things better or worse.
Zack (Louisville)
Are we just naming random players from MLB teams?
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
A guy excited about a washer/dryer? That has to break a man-rule right?
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Think about it Clinton, you have to work with Milton Bradley and Big Z, but the money's good
Paul (Ft Worth)
Sorry Clinton, MLB has an age requirement of less than 86
Tom (River North)
I must be well into my 30s. I mean, I am almost 30 and a half...
Brian (Madison, WI)
I picture Ben as Chris Farley in Black Sheep trying to deal with the bats in his house.
Tom (River North)
Worse Buzz. Always worse. The ONB never makes anything better.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Sorano, Vaughn, Dorn, Hayes...
Cory (PA)
Oh God! I got some of the ONB in my eye! Oh it burns! I think it's gonna get infected!
Robert (Huntsville, Al)
Mike must be young. Like I said, signs you are getting old...
Nate (Madison)
I've come to the conclusion that David Eckstein and Craig Counsell might be evil twins. I think a brawl between these two would be pretty entertaining, or hilarious.
Matt (Jacksonville)
I am 21. According to Milwaukee logic, would I be a washed up Cubs player?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
One-sided officiating in soccer toward the home team? I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tells ya!
Matt (IN)
I like how James states that Rios has "only" 14 home runs, as though James would have 20 if he were playing...
Sorano (Cleveland, OH)
Coach! Sorano want to bat!
Scott (Brewtown)
The ONB is like an itch you can never scratch

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
40 is the new 20.

What is 50 then? The new 30? Sweet
Eric (Livingston)
The only people that can call JB out for that won't, simply because they know who those people are.

So Tiger birdied. Anyone want to talk about something not lin list format?
Sean (Philly)
What, a 518 yard par 4? And Tiger birdied it? I guess I have eagles par 5's before...
Coach K (Durham)
Wait... Darien the Bball recruit is back? I need a slow, undersized PG that I can eventually convince to be an assistant coach after 4 years of mediocrity on the floor.
Brian (Madison, WI)
So that's how you get rid of Tom.
Fake Clinton (Indianapolis)
187: the new 87!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Note to self: Tom from River North has no sense of humor.

GG Allin (Littleton, NH)
I like golf. What do you guys think?

Buzz how come ESPN isn't airing the PGA Championship?
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
Very funny.
Cory (PA)
Golf clap for Tiger's birdy. *golf clap*
Chris (Philly)
If Buzz' stomach grumbles, people think it's an earthquake, you know....cause he's fat.
Markus (Minneapolis)
Our founding fathers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Clinton (Indianapolis)
Nate (Madison)
LOL, BRB, WTF, LMAO
Rastall (Marinette, Wicconsin)
I can't believe you guys didn't have the USA - Mexico soccer game on ESPN yesterday.
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Not funny.
Nate (Madison)
I think Clinton was a redcoat
Tom (River North)
I've got a sense of humor, but the lists were like an extended ONB.
stephanie (cincy)
When Buzz' stomach grumbles, the MB gets hungry
Chris (MPLS)
So Vick has a dog fighting ring and gets two years out of the NFL... Donte Stallworth kills another human being and gets only one? That isn't justice if you ask me.
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Vick was out of the NFL for two years because he was in prison for about 2 years.
Sean (Philly)
Why is that not funny? Was ESPN supposed to have it?
Buzzmaster (10:45 AM)
No because we went over this about 25 times yesterday.
Zack (Louisville)
Lunch: Chicken panini, chips, sweet tea.
Eric (Livingston)
Vick wasn't put away for the dog fighting... that's a misdemeaner. He was locked up for interstate gambling.
Chris (SD)
Stallworth served 24 days in jail on a 30 day sentence for killing a guy while he drove drunk and you think a year suspension is harsh?
Bob (Lowell)
Whoa..whoa..whoa...who said tyo start lunch chat?
JB (TX)
I think one year is fair for Stallworth. Yes he was driving drunk, but unlike others in the same situation he's showing genuine remorse. Besides, if the courts thought 24 days in jail was fair I'm assuming it wasn't totally his fault.
Sean (Philly)
:-), :-(, ;-), :-D
David (PA)
lunch: fancy, overpriced, mediocre food, boss' treat.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Come on, Tom. We picked a topic and stuck with it. That's a rare think in the MB and some of the lists were pretty darn good. Lighten up, Francis.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Chris: the first 5 minutes of this chat called. They want their topic back.
Eric (Livingston)
But it's not Goodell's place to punish Stallworth simply because he felt the law didn't do enough
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)
Goodell's not putting Stallworth in prison. He's the head of a company and he's dolling out punishment.
Marc (Charlotte)
No, but Goodell can enforce the NFL conduct policy, which Stallworth clearly broke.
Pete (NC)
apparently, no, one, realized, sarcasm, when, i, compared, watching, golf, online, to, the, morning, buzz
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Lunch = grease in a cup
Brian (Madison, WI)
Goodell runs the NFL, I think he can do whatever he wants.
Marc (Big D)
Eric, yes it is. See Jones, Pacman.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Cory (PA)
GREAT! Thanks a lot Pete now there's no more commas left for the rest of us!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Sorry, Pete. I'm working without my sarcasm meter this morning. Tom in West Bloomfield broke mine yesterday.
Sean (Philly)
Ummm, Actually that is exactly his place. He needs to set a precedent for anything that may happen like this in the future.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Lunch: seafood salad, unsweet tea.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think most of us would be in bad shape if we couldn't work for a year. Playing football is Donte's job. A year is a long time

Joe (Montreal)
Lunch: Beer at Wrigley

Eric (Livingston)
Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro
Kyle (FT Lauderdale)
Goodell is a tyrant. No one here would enjoy working for him, but we love our football players working for him, becuase it makes us feel better that someone is putting the millionaire athletes in their place
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
Goodell is a tyrant because he's holding his players accountable? I would love to work for him. Working for him means I'm making millions of dollars. Keep my nose clean and I never even have to talk to Goodell.
jillnorman (norman)
Bevo stew for lunch
Marc (Big D)
Michael, Dwight, Jim, Pam
Eric (Livingston)
Wendy's for chicken. Burger King for burgers.
Marc (Charlotte)
Wendy's has the better dollar menu.
Joe (Montreal)
Arbys for beef
Greg (Ellicott City)
Buzz, one tyrant could never work for another tyrant.
Marc (Big D)
Does anyone else feel that Kyle's argument makes no sense?
Jessica Simpson (via mobile)
Tony, Romo, FT% against left handed pitchers, NHL
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Exactly Buzz.
Nate (Madison)
Alright, I'm outta here. Everyone have a great day!
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Lunch: BBQ Brisket, Homemade Chips, Texas Toast
Zack (Louisville)
The Buzz is dead. Long live The Buzz.
Cory (PA)
Wendy's HAD the better dollar menu. Have you seen what's become of the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger? So sad, the tomato is bigger and thicker than the burger!
jillnorman (norman)
Has Tiger teed off yet?
Buzzmaster (10:56 AM)
Yes.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The guy is a tyrant for trying to uphold standards? Kyle may need a suspension from the chat.
JB (TX)
Buzz, are you not posting my Hannibal, Murdoch, Face, B.A. because you think they're porn stars? Its the A-Team!
Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
What are you talking about? I haven't seen your list until now.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Those athletes represent their league and their teams to a certain degree. There is nothing with asking for a minimum of accountability.
Kyle (FT Lauderdale)
You are letting money decide whether Goodell is a good boss. A good boss is a good boss if you make $30k or $3M
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
He's a good boss because he's running the company well, allowing everyone to prosper. And, unless you're being an idiot, he leaves you alone. What else do you want?
jillnorman (norman)
Happy Golf Day
Kyle (Myrtle Beach)
I think Goodell made the right choice with Donte
Rusty S. (NC)
Moscow, London, Paris, Munich
Ben (Madison, WI)
I have a way to avoid getting suspended for a year. Don't kill anybody with your car.
Marc (Big D)
No, a good boss is a good boss if he maximized the company's potential.
Joe (Montreal)
Buzz, do you think the Raiders have a better chance of winning with Garcia or Russell?
Buzzmaster (10:59 AM)
Neither.
Cory (PA)
Thats enough for me, now to figure out how I'll get any work done with todays explosion of chats (A good problem, mind you) Don't pee on your shoes SportsNation!
Ben (Madison, WI)
Burn in hell, Rastall. Everyone else, enjoy your Thursday.
Scott (Brewtown)
A boss is a good boss if he stps interrupting me between 10 -11am!!
Eric (Livingston)
The Raiders have the same chance with Garcia and Russell that they do with Buzz
Joe (Montreal)
You have a point.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright, people, stay classy!
Buzzmaster (11:01 AM)
OK. Thanks for stopping by everyone. We'll be back this afternoon for SNTV and again tomorrow morning. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
