  (10:01 AM)

Goooooooooood morning!

Trevor (Texas)

Good morning SN...

Zach (Bloomington,MN)

What's up Buzz? You are late.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Good morning Buzzinator.

Marc (Big D)

Man, look at all these chats. ESPN is going to have to put out a documentary called "Buzz Doin' Work".

Marc (Charlotte)

Marc, would it really be that entertaining to watch Buzz eat Pop Tarts and throw darts at Matt Damon's face pasted on his dart board?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Hello.

Zach (Bloomingon,MN)

Buzzzzzzz,you l8 man

chaz (sa tx)

buzz doin work? more like Buzz Bs'en

Matt (IN)

Good morning. Tom Cable for heavyweight champ.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, people! Let's get Tuesday rolling.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good Tuesday morning, Buzz Nation. Nice to see summer finally arrived here in the northeast.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Brett Favre just won't go away, he's the Dick Clark of the NFL.

chaz (sa tx)

how awesome would it have been if al davis started wetting them down with a water hose to stop the fight between cable and his assistant.

Clubber Lang (Chicago)

I pity Tom Cable.

Brett Favre (via mobile)

*Doing the Disco Favre dance*

Vicki (Indiana)

Favre is a great QB but I'm so sick of hearing about him this year

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Sorry I'm late, I was busy punching out my assistan.t

Greg (Ellicott CIty)

Buzz making up for yesterday ------->

tom* (parkville, md)

Have a meeting in 15 minutes with my boss in which I plan to tell her I'll be filing a complaint against her unless she stops doing something. Expect to get my head chewed off.

Reggie (Boston)

Its not that nice, J.B. Its scorching here.

Zach (Bloomington,MN)

Buzz? Hello,is anybody there? Anybody? Hello?

Brian (Madison, WI)

Vicki you are sick of hearing about Brett Favre? Try living in Wisconsin.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Good luck with that tom*

Marc (Big D)

Anyone else upset that Hard Knocks wasn't in Raiders camp this year?

Scott Boras [via mobile]

Buzz, tardiness is unacceptable. What if I was late with those contracts? I expect better from you.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm not sure how successful any of us would be if we were put into a game to collect a save, but I imagine it would look similar to the performance that Kevin Gregg put on last night.

Marc (Big D)

Reggie, I think I speak for everyone in Texas when I say boo hoo.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

My office has flies, and they are growing at a rate where I will soon be able to hear their wings from a distance.

tom* (parkville, md)

Thanks, Greg.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Nice knowing you, tom*.

Scott (Brewtown)

Glad to see that that the Polar Bear's history with 1st round draft choices continues as Justin Harrell's career appears to be over

Vicki (Indiana)

it rained this morning here but now the sun is coming out, which means it's going to be humid today

Stephen Strasburg (bank)

I was relieved it was over...then I realized it was the Nationals. Damn.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Can we get a moment of silence for Tom*s career?

Nate (Madison)

I'm in the minority in WI, but I really dislike Favre right now. I idolized him when he played, but the last two years with how selfish/etc he has been has really started putting him in that "T.O." category.

Jonathan (Madtown)

As a 28 year old packer fan it pains me to see a man I grew up worshipping showing off this ugly side. Very sad....We loved the pain pills and beer Brett that took us to super bowls. No one is perfect but this Brett is annoying!

Cubs Nation About To Bear Down (Chicago)

Thank god Cubs season ended last night. Now I can focus on Bears season.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

tom* I think your boss is going to tell you to get a life...and a new job.

Strasburg (Washington)

I did my best Brett Favre last night and look at all the attention I got! This guy's a genius!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Nate: Selfish or just competitive? The Packers set him free so why shouldn't he play if he still wants to do so? I hope he comes back as a Viking and jams it right down Packer Nation's collective throat.

chaz (sa tx)

i took ruckus to the dog park yesterday , they have this rubber trash can that has toys in it. how turrible is that?!?

Marc (Big D)

I think it might be time to break it out for the northsiders..."There is always next year." Ahh, felt good.

Tom (River North)

tom*, why get yelled at for no reason? Just take the next step and bring HR into it...

tom* (parkville, md)

I'm not sure this qualifies as a career.

Brewers Players and Fans (Milwaukee)

Hey Cubs fans and players, we saved you a spot right here on the couch to watch the 2009 postseason.

Drew (Buffalo)

Hey everyone! i'd like to say I missed you yesterday while golfing, but I didn't.

Marc (Big D)

Was there any doubt that Strasburg's arm would have fallen off if he didn't sign last night? That was a perfect set up for some karmic justice.

Matt (College Park)

It depends on what your boss is doing. If she's eating toaster strudels, then it's acceptable to tell her off.

John Madden (The Madden Bus)

Those reporters got it all wrong...Brett is actually coming on the buss with me! BOOM!!

Scott Boras (The Money)

Buzz you owe my client, Mr. Strasburg a $1.5M appearance fee for appearing in your "chat". We are willing to hold out to the end or even begin chatting in Japanese.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Okay, I just got a whole Buzz-sized pile of work dumped on my desk, so I'm out of here. Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda. See you guys tomorrow.

Tom*'s Boss (parkville, md)

Tom, quit complaining and drop a basket of fries. A line is forming.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Can you get Rucus to bite Favre?

Ruckus (via mobile)

I took chaz to the park yesterday. What a joke. Guy thinks he can pick up any girl he talks to. FAIL.

Matt (College Park)

J.B. Selfish. All the way selfish. If he was competitive, there would be none of this waffling for ''maybe I'll come back, maybe I won't''. A true competitor would just come back, end of story.

people who like to whine (bristol,ct)

I hate E!SPN for the way they are reporting on brett favre.Wahhh!!!

Greg (Ellicott City)

Tom*. If you need references im sure there are Buzz would tell your boss what a good chatter you are.

Nate (Madison)

If he comes back to the Vikings he's not going to take them anywhere. Division is going to be the Packers, hands down.

Scott (Brewtown)

I think Geico used Scott Boras's likeness in those ads with the dollar bills and eyes

Ryan (San Diego)

Scott Boras only got 15 million of the 50 he wanted to...get a new agent

Jonathan (Madtown)

There needs to be a plan to assassinate Scott Boras. The man is destroying baseball.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

For trying to get his clients the most money he can? Isn't that the name of the game for an agent?

Vicki (Indiana)

it looks like I'll be cheering on my Rays in October

Jay Cutler (Chicago)

The Packers huh, not with me in town throwing to.... wait, who are my receivers again?

Ton Cable (Oakland)

I'll punch that Favre right in the mouth!

Todd (South Dakota)

Who cares about Cable, it's training camp, lets get on with the NFL season!!!Go RaidERS!!!

Drew Rosenhaus (NFL)

Please, Scott Boras is just a miniscule cog in my diabolical master plan. Muahahaha

Nate (Madison)

Baseball might be ahead of the curves in some ventures but they are in the dark ages compared to other sports when it comes to salary caps and rookie contract caps.

Zach (Bloomington,MN)

I thought George Steinbrenner destoyed baseball

Nolan (Hartford)

2 more days of the MB for me, then my internship is over and it's off to UCONN for me...

Marc (Charlotte)

As much as everyone hates him, Scott Boras does a great job for his clients.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Exactly. If I were a player, I'd want him as an agent.

Brian (Madison, WI)

The Bay area has some crazy coaches, one punches his assistants and the other one drops his pants in front of his team.

Marc (Big D)

I will admit that while he does seem slimy, Boras is excellent at what he does. If you had the power and resources to hire someone to get every cent of salary you could at your job, you know you would.

Vicki (Indiana)

I think in all sports, all rookies should start out with a certain amount, the same amount for everyone, and then increase the pay depending on how well he did.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

It takes two to tango Jonathan. As far as I know, Boras isn't the one signing the checks

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I wonder if Boras could get me more money?

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

It's called union strength, it used to actually be relevant in this country.

Pete (NC)

I wish I had an agent negotiating a huge salary for me. Instead I'm here, making $20k.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Hey I actually caught the last five minutes of SNTV yesterday. I may have to find time to watch it more.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

DVR?

Jim Calhoun (Storrs)

Nolan, when you get here, I want you to get some facts and come and see me.

Tom Cable (Oakland)

Anyone drops their pants in front of me and I'll punch them right in the mouth!

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

If I was a basebaal player I wouldn't want Boras as a agent, because his holdout strategy can backfire, but I'll be happy that he's driving the market up

Justin (Chicago)

It's not hard to sign a deal for $20k

Nate (Madison)

I'm so happy that Prince is playing this well and is represented by Boras*******

Natinals (Washington D.C.)

We look forward to ruining Mr. Strasburg's career by rushing him up to the majors prematurely. Sure we'll pay him $15M and probably pay next years pick about the same dooming us to financial difficulties which will make it impossible to retain young talent and build a winning franchise...but...actually there is no but, we're still going to suck when we play away games on the moon.

Dave (vt)

Hey Buzz, i know no one missed me but its good to be back. Got married and all that crap.

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

Mazel tov.

Jonathan (Madtown)

As a team owner or fan I hate Boras, he destroyes teams salaries and forces increase in ticket prices. Has had many more clients Bomb after big contracts than succeed.

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

As a team owner, you're the dummy that signed the checks and then didn't do your homework to realize that the guy would bomb after the big contract.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Got married Dave? Oh dear.

Marc (Big D)

Louis, if you honestly believe that you are kidding yourself.

Paul (Ft Worth)

Meetings suck...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'm TV technology challenged, Buzz. Asking me to DVR is like asking me to actually build the set.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Watch it on the re-air at midnight?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

The only reason the Tigers have any sustainable success is through the draft, i.e., "overpaying" for Verlander, Porcello, et al. I say PAY UP other owners.

Greg (Ellicott City)

I think J.B. is doing his best Clinton impersination.

Brian (Madison, WI)

ESPN overpaid for Buzz.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh thanks to anyone who joined my ESPN Fantasy Football League. We have filled all teams and are ready to roll with the Dunder-Mifflin 2009 FFL.

Nate (Madison)

Jon, you can hate Boras but he is great at what he does. But where you should direct your anger is at the player's union who refuses to allow the game to change in regards to contracts and salary caps.

Vicki (Indiana)

I could probably figure out how to program a DVR, I just can't afford the service right now

Marc (Big D)

Bottom line, the only way Boras' tactics will be curtailed if when owner's stop paying his players. However, fans are so fickle that when an owner doesn't pay up they whine and moan that they won't go the extra mile for the fans and wonder why they have to pay so much for tickets. It is a vicious circle.

JB (TX)

Buzz, I know no one missed me, I went to the candy machine and to get some coffee, but it's good to be back.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

I don't think I am kidding myself. Baseball is a business and anybody who thinks that a better control of salaries would stop the raise of ticket prices are the ones kidding themselves. Look at the NFL, NBA and NHL. Salary cap does not help the ticket price

Adam (syracuse,ny)

Just like the parent team, their AAA affiliate Chiefs, stinks. But I'd go to a chiefs game if Strasburg comes through here.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

And, by the way, Verlander and Porcello are Boras clients. I don't think the Tigers regret dealing with Boras at all.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

There you go! Just need to have plenty of coffee on hand. Of course seeing Colin before bed may cause nightmares but it's a chance I'm willing to take.

Gary Bettman (NYC)

Thank you for including us, Louis.

Stephen Strasburg(IHOP) [via mobile]

Poptarts are on me boys

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

My kids are 12 and 8 so maybe they can figure out how to DVR a show.

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

Or, have them watch the show and then re-enact it.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

It speaks volumes for your program when your starting qb is 4 years removed from the sport and can just walk on campus and play. Good luck with that Syracuse...

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

When I win the 170 million jackpot in tonight's mega million lottery, will I have enough to buy the Cubs?

Vicki (Indiana)

lol JB, and to think I'm listening to The Herd while chatting right now

TMZ (Bristol,CT)

Breaking news!ESPN is reporting on Buzz's opinion that he likes pop tarts.Tonight at 11 we'll talk about how Zombie Favre as the vikings new QB.

JB (TX)

Boras is doing a good job. Trust me, that $15M check isn't going to bounce. The Nats can afford him.

Scott (Brewtown)

I'm going to the Jimmy Buffett concert here in about two weeks. My buddies and I are just about done building a 22 ft party boat to take to the show. Should be fun

Nolan (Hartford)

A guy in my hometown hit the powerball lotto for about 25 million...ridiculous...

Nate (Madison)

So, going to the SN for movie reviews again, has anyone seen District 9?

Marc (Big D)

Buzz, Directv wants their commercial idea back.

Cory (PA)

I certainly hope he comes through Harrisburg...I miss the days of watching Vlad Guerrero and Pedro Martinex in a Senators jersey.

Trevor (Texas)

I hate spur of the moment meetings that happen at exactly 9 AM causing me to miss half of the MB.

Jonathan (Madtown)

How about Boras clients sign waves and if they dont play to potential they give money back ala Jose Guillen

Rick Pitino (Louisville)

Buzz, I will pay you $3k if you open up the ONB.

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

Let's do it.....

dan (chicago)

This Brett Favre saga will continue until two years after he passes away.

Harry Doyle (Cleveland)

And today's Morning Buzz is brought to you by.... Geez, I can't find it, to Hell with it.

Dean Bloomsburg Pa [via mobile]

Do you think MLB would do well with a salary cap and a rookie cap?

jeremy (arizona)

your cute smile, when your laughing and scrunching your nose, I call it the bunny face, your personality shines. Very rare. Hold on to that genuity, and cole you do the same!

Tony Ford (South Carolina)

Could a high school baseball team beat a professional team in a 162 game season?

kenneth clark (baltimore, maryland)

jon gruden is the man!

Tom Cable (Oakland)

Buzz, if you don't make Tuesdays chat better than Mondays I'm going to punch you in the jaw.

Bob (Chester, New Jersey)

If Michael Vick wants to prove that he has changed, then he should be put in a MMA arena cage with vicious dogs/Kimbo Slice/Chuck Norris. If he only goes after Kimbo and Chuck, then he is changed.

Rob (Mendham, New Jersey)

Personally, I only watch golf if Tiger Woods is playing. Who would you rather see? The greatest golfer of all time with the chance of an amazing shot or someone that not many people know playing the greatest game of his/her life?

Rob (Mendham, New Jersey)

What type of pie is better? Pumpkin or apple?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

And that's it...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

My girls re-enacting SNTV. Hmm, not so sure about that idea.

Marc (Big D)

I have no words for jeremy in AZ. Wow.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Didn't someone made that same Pitino joke yesterday?

Nate (Madison)

Made it in the top 12 of about 80 candidates and have my second round of testing this week. Oh yeah, giggity.

Marc (Big D)

District 9 is pretty solid. A fresh take on a scifi movie (atleast one that I have seen). I would recommend it.

Drew (Buffalo)

I haven't Nate, but heard it was awesome. I'm considering breaking my 5 year streak of not going to the movies to see it

Jonathan (Madtown)

Someone please say Alex Rodriguez is worth 275 million, I dare you!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

He was offered the contract. So, someone thinks that he is.

John Daly (Hooters)

Who has cooler pants me or ian poulter?

Vicki (Indiana)

JB, if your girls can reenact the Brother Franklin video clips, I'd go for that idea

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Apple pie is better than pumpkin pie, it's not even close

Joe (Montreal)

Pumpkin

Brian (Madison, WI)

A high school team in a 162 game season against pros would finish 0-162.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Rob (Mendham): Rhubarb.

Jordan (Peoria)

Jeremy with the creepiest ONB post ever!

Adam (syracuse,ny)

Alex Rodriguez is worth 275 million.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Just think, someone's walking around not knowing in about 13 hours they're about to win 170 million dollars, have thier lives flipped upside down, lose thier wife, their license on a DUI some how, spend time in prison, and end up broke. I hope it's me!!!

Pecan Pie (A class of my own)

I am the Lord of the Pies

David (PA)

Apple December-October, Pumpkin in November.

Paul (Ft Worth)

I bet a high school team would take at least one game vs the nationals...assuming they use aluminum bats

Trevor (Texas)

You're worth as much as someone will give you in my opinion. If someone offered me $3 million to work for them, would you say "Wait a minute, I'm not worth $3 million"...nope.

Marc (Big D)

Pecan pie is my personal favorite, but all pie is good pie. Except blueberry.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

All this pie chat. I'm going to make a peach cobbler tonight.

Jonathan (Madtown)

How many Rings has A-Roid won?

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

What does that have to do with anything?

Marc (Big D)

I don't even know what I would do if I won the lotto. Probably call my family and tell them to quit their jobs and then just run up and down the street yelling.

andrew boston [via mobile]

arod is not worth 275 million

Greg (Ellicott City)

Hold out for more Trevor.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Im out of here, have to go to a "sales meeting"... I thought we needed real sales to warrant a meeting, but who am I to throw logic into this?

Nate (Madison)

Buzz, I'd like you to meet verbal diarrhea or better known as Jon from Madison.

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

I feel like I need to flush.

Vicki (Indiana)

man I just a had a bite to eat and I'm already getting hungry with the pie talk

Jordan (Peoria)

Well since I am actually from the Pumpking capital of the world I should probably vote pumpkin...But I will say apple

Joe (Montreal)

No Baseball player is worth 275 million.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I have it on good authority that A-Rod won a ring in one of those claw machines one time. Or maybe it was from that "lift the duck" game. But he's won one, nonetheless.

Adam (syracuse,ny)

His contract says he's worth 275 million

Marc (Big D)

It is so frustrating when people make illogical arguments.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Arod is worth 276 million so the Yankees actually save 1mil.

Scott (Brewtown)

Was A-rod worth 250 mil? Was Worldcom worth 200$ per share in late 1999? Somebody thought so....and no it wasn't me

Brian (Madison, WI)

Routine infield hit to short. The average high school shortstop wouldn't get Nyjer Morgan out 80% of the time.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I've had to live with verbal diarrhea for the past year.

Tomwit NJ [via mobile]

If I had 275 million dollars I would buy 275 million lotto tickets.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I'm worth 275 million, I just can't find anyone to give it me.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Then Morgan would steal 2nd, 3rd, and probably home with ease.

David (PA)

Why are we using Nyjer Morgan in this explaination?

Vicki (Indiana)

not sure of everything I would do if I won millions. I know the first thing I'd do is pay off my debts.

Nate (Madison)

Average score of a high school team versus any MLB team. MLB 30, H.S. 0

Jonathan (Madtown)

Adamin Syracuse......I have a letter that says I am President of the United States. And it is on paper just like A-Rods contract, do you believe me?

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

I think I am starting to figure out why Brian and Nate drink so much.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Because Morgan is the leadoff hitter for the Nats?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Forget the batting. Major leaguers would hit an average of 25 home runs a game off high school pitching.

Marc (Big D)

And Adam Dunn would easily hit 100 homers. EASILY. This wouldn't even be close.

Trevor (Texas)

If I won the lotto, debts would be gone, but I'd continue working. I've read how so many people go broke from making stupid decisions. I'd try to stay grounded.

Jordan (Peoria)

Well one is a legal binding document and the other says you are an idiot so....

Paul (Ft Worth)

You guys are ridiculous...a baseball powerhouse high school would take at least one game in a 162 game season...law of averages, luck, game of inches, etc...

Associated Press (World)

This just in: People have differing opinions on a variety of subjects. When asked, scientists have been unable to reach a consensus as to why.

Chris (Philly)

Are we really having a professional > high school player conversation?

Greg (Ellicott City)

If I won the lotto I would start my own chat.

Nate (Madison)

What's funny is that Jon is a Brewers fan and we have a friend that is just like him but is a Cubs fan. You get them together during baseball season and you soon realize you are doing shot after shot just to deal with their arguments.

Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)

If Rickey won the lotto Rickey would just put the check in a frame and hang it on the wall.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I hesitate to believe that a high school team could beat a decent college team.

Vicki (Indiana)

so true Trevor, I'd probably quit my current job just so I can concentrate on finishing school and after I can get a job I want.

Drew (Buffalo)

The worst part is Jonathan in madtown actually thinks he is making sense

JB (TX)

Didn't the Pirates lose to some community college team earlier this season? I know the Pirates are barely an MLB team but still.

Chris (Philly)

If I had a million dollars, I would buy Buzz a treadmill.

Jordan (Peoria)

Split squad game with most of their regulars some where else I believe

Marc (Big D)

Trevor, I have thought that too. BUT, wouldn't you have a little bit of a hard time being motivated to do some menial task when you have 10 figures in the bank?

Jonathan (Madtown)

So A-Rod is worth 275 and Boras is not destroying baseball, right

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Why are you placing all the blame on the players' side? If you thought you should be paid $20,001 but no one would pay you above what you were worth at $17,500, if you wanted to work, you'd have to drop your demands.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz, can you save all of Jonathan's posts for the next ONB?

Trevor (Texas)

Probably, which is why I said I'd try to stay grounded. If you enjoy what you do, it shouldn't be that big of a problem. Like Buzz, he chats online and gets coffee for suits...cake job even with 10 figures in the bank. He has no real responibility except to make sure the chat begins on time.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

MLB had revenues of more than $6,5 billion last year, more than the double of the revenues of ten years ago. Not too bad for a sport about to be destroyed

Jordan (Peoria)

So just because the Brewers suck and can't win everyone else is wrong...I have a feeling things would change if A-Rod was a Brewer

Nate (Madison)

(Laughing uncontrollably)

Tomwit NJ [via mobile]

A good way to earn a million dollars would be to install a pay toilet on the diarrhea ward. Since we are on both topics, I thought this appropriate.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

That's the most sane thing you've said, Jonathan.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

The amazing thing is that something from the ONB has triggered a full-blown discussion.

Joe (Montreal)

I think that last years North Carolina Basketball Team could beat a Crappy NBA Team.

Brian (Madison, WI)

This is why Jonathan wins most of his arguments because the stuff doesn't make any sense and you spend most of your time trying to decipher what he said rather than having a come back and then you just eventually give up and grab a bottle.

Jonathan (Madtown)

Buzz by law teams can not conspire to keep players salaries down.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

There was nothing conspiratory there. If teams individually say that A-Rod's not worth $275 million then he doesn't get paid $275 million.

JB (TX)

UNC couldn't come within 20 pts of the worst NBA team.

Nate (Madison)

Really Jordan? You're going to go there with this conversation? You're Cubs fan and you're going to be in the same spot as The Crew come October.

Fake Clinton (Indianapolis)

Like I, Jonathan yearns for a simpler time. I miss the days when Honus Wagner had to work 2 jobs in the off season just to be able to survive.

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

That would be funny to see that now. Reporters going to the local Subway to ask Albert Pujols about a trade the Cardinals just made in the offseason. Pujols tells them he'll talk, but his next break isn't for another 30 minutes.

Joe (Montreal)

Well, since UNCs team last year was a bunch of NBA players, they could beat 'em.

Marc (Big D)

I feel like this chat is taking time off of my life.

Jordan (Peoria)

Actually I am a Cardinal fan so pretty sure I am watching October baseball

Nate (Madison)

You know in Who Framed Roger Rabbit when he punches himself in the face to make people laugh. I feel like doing that if this MLB salary talk continues.

Cory (PA)

That's collusion! They'd be calloodling!

Paul (Ft Worth)

Jonathan = Hurricane Jeff Rastall

Drew (Buffalo)

Jonathan is making my hangover headache 5 times worse

Brian (Madison, WI)

(Thinking about the Cardinals winning the division and punching myself in face)

Nate (Madison)

College teams have SOME of the better players in the nation, but not all them or even the majority of them. The NBA is full of the best players in the WORLD. The last guy on the NBA's bench was most likely a star in whatever conference or league he came from.

JB (TX)

Hopefully Pujols wouldn't put too much lettuce on my sandwich like the girl yesterday did. I said "thats enough" and she kept sprinkling it! Uggh...

Marc (Big D)

Isn't what Jonathan is railing against what our country was founded on, capitalism?

Albert Pujols (Subway)

Would you like that 5 dollar footlong toasted? Btw I'm not a machine

Anthony (NY)

This is not a sports chat.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

hahahhaa, punch your self again.

Ryan Howard (Philadelphia)

Step away from the sneeze-guard Pujols! Subway is my gig!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Am I the only person who finds that show, 'Dating in the Dark,' interesting? It basically proves that looks matter.

Karl Marx (heaven)

Jonathan, well done sir! I'm glad someone gets it.

Tom Cable (Oakland)

Come here Brian and I'll take care of that for you

Joe (Montreal)

Well, I'm an Orioles fan, so the way this season has gone, my face is pretty sore.

Matt (College Park)

JB - I love Dating in the Dark, it's weirdly intriguing.

Ruckus (sa tx)

Bring it Cable.

Lenny Dykstra (via mobile)

Dude, I'm gonna open a restaurant called Dudes. Buzz, I need $500,000 in order to rent this jet to go and seal the deal.

Ryan Howard (Philadelphia)

Lunch: Big Philly Cheesesteak

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Lunch: Tuna salad stuffed in a garden tomato, unsweet tea.

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: Turkey sandwich and a side of Deviled egg potato salad

Jordan (Peoria)

Ruckus > chaz

Greg (Ellicott City)

Lunch: Whatever sub Pujols makes me.

Marc (Big D)

Anyone remember the Seinfeld ep where George naps under his desk. I wish I could do that.

Drew (Buffalo)

I must be missing something. I watched dating in the dark yesterday and thought it was the worst show ever

Paul (Ft Worth)

Subway with SWEET tea

Jonathan (Madtown)

That Karl Mark comment was Nate Wolfe for sure!

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: No clue.

Vicki (Indiana)

lunch: either noodles in Alfredo sauce or a ham and cheese sandwich

Nolan (Hartford)

Lunch - Leftover pasta and meatballs

Matt (IN)

Lunch: Sandwich, chips but no soda. H20 instead.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Lunch: Grilled chicken and green beans. I'm thinking of tossing it and getting a beef and sausage combo with marinara sauce, motzerella cheese and hot peppers, oh yeah, and fries. Hmmmm

Jordan (Peoria)

Lunch: Meeting so we are probably sampling anther product today...My guess is the prime rib we cooked yesterday

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Lunch: the last bit of leftover chicken. I hate it when I have to eat to leftovers for many days. Buzz, do you like leftovers?

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

How can you not like leftovers? It's a good meal that keeps on giving. And if there are a lot of leftovers, you freeze it and bring it out a week or so later and BAM! you've got a good meal again.

Buzz (SN)

What are leftovers?

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz never has leftovers, you know, because hes fat.

Nolan (Hartford)

No Eddy Hochs today? Yes! =) <3 LOL

Ruckus (sa tx)

Chaz's left overs.

Jordan (Peoria)

Louis, with Buzz there are no leftovers

JB (TX)

Lunch: likely McDs. BTW, I think Robbi is my favorite chatter around here.

Anthony (NY)

If I lived in Europe, I would be able to drink like Nate is right now.

Buzzmaster

  (10:55 AM)

Then move there already.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: PB

John Madden (Bus)

ed, Ed, ED!!!!! Flag on buzz. Come on. He used my trademarked, BAM!

Greg (Ellicott City)

Ruckus is my favorite chatter.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Great chat, people. Always a pleasure. I'll check into the SNTV chat at 4:00 PM to see who has endured the heat of the day. Have a good one, stay hydrated, stay safe, and I'll see you later.

Matt Damon (Buzz's house)

There ain't any leftovers here now!

Nate (Madison)

I say tomorrow's chat we try not to give Jon the exlax again.

JB (TX)

SteveFitz is on that Buzz diet apparently...

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: Grrr. forgot about that whole ampersand thing again: PB and J, random flavor of yogurt, with zucchini bread made by my wife. The bread: Outstanding work!

Paul (Ft Worth)

Robbi issues restraining order against JB(TX) in 3,2,1...

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

It never tastes the same as fresh for me. I eat them because I don't want ot waste good food, but if I win the lottery, I'm never eating leftovers again

Emeril (New Orleans)

Uh......John? Bam is mine, Boom is yours. Get it right next time.

Drew (Buffalo)

Lunch: bbq chicken finger sub, fries, and a mountain dew

Marc (Big D)

So I heard rumors about Rounders 2. I kind of wish they would leave it alone, but Damon was quoted saying he thinks the whole cast would come back. Intriguing.

Cory (PA)

I have to agree that ruckus is the best chatter. Sorry chaz, your dog is cooler than you.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I vote for Ruckus.

Anthony (NY)

Anchorman 2!

Anthony (NY)

Lunch: burger and fries

Nate (Madison)

I swear Tom's wife reads the chat transcript.

Matt Damon (BuzzMansion)

Yup, the best thing about Rounders 2 is that it films in Connecticut, so I don't have to change my current living arrangements.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Alright, a 25 minute sales meeting. That is pretty indicative of the amount of activity going on around here...

Terrible Sports Anchor (Somewhere)

And boom goes the dynamite...

Trevor (Texas)

I'm eating wings tonight...so I need something relatively healthy for lunch...maybe grilled chicken strips.

Jordan (Peoria)

Buzz your goal in life should be to have a chat with Matt Damon

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

OK. We're done here. We'll be back again at 4 and then tomorrow morning. Until then. Stay classy SportsNation!

Cory (PA)

This has been an enjoyable chat except for the pointless bickering, I look forward to today's full slate. Peace out SportsNation! Don't get your tongue caught in the meat grinder!

Marc (Big D)

Later on ya'll

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Everyone have a great day. Bye y'all.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Have a good Tuesday everyone. I'll be back tomorrow and will probably be complaining about the Cubs and Brewers performances against two of the worst teams in the NL.

Scott (Brewtown)

Seeeee Ya!!!
