Gooooooooood morning!

Cory (PA)

What the Brett Hull?! A hockey chat? NASCAR I can live with, and golf I can understand but I'm not ready to start ignoring hockey in August!

Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

Lighten up Francis.

Marc (Big D)

Happy $207 million mega millions jackpot eve buzznation!

The Suits (Bristol)

Uh...we don't know if we should make your checks out to Mr. Buzz or Ms. Buzz. We've brought in some doctors to help us decide...

josh (raleigh, nc)

having a tought time deciding on who to pick, LT or Moss?

Zivko Pezulev (Lakewood,Ohio)

Will Brett Favre ever retire?P.S: and can he make it quick because i'm pretty sure he can't play football the way he did two three years because of the surgery he just had.

Justin (Chicago)

Why don't you just wake up 5 minutes earlier

Dave (vt)

Dont keep your minions waiting buzz.

Steve (NJ)

RIP Don Hewitt; always a shame when a guy who knew the difference between news and showbiz passes. We're officially stuck with showbiz, now.

Marc (Charlotte)

I didn't win the Powerball last night. No $250 Mill for me.

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

All I'm going to say is, there is a reason there are so many polish jokes...

Bob (Lowell)

Goooood Morning

chaz (sa tx)

GOOOooooooog MOOOoooorning VIEt... er.. MORNING BUUZZzz

ELO (ORLANDO-HOME)

Good morning Buzz and SN, I usually spend this time looking for jobs but this is much more fun.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

This MB should be played at high volume . . . preferably in a residential area.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

I waited all afternoon for SN TV yesterday and you yanked it at the last minute. Curse you buzz!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

Last minute = 2:30. Got it.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good Thursday morning, Buzz Nation. Hope you Kentucky hoops fans are ready for your first vacated victories, which should come sometime within the next 2-3 years.

Buzzmaster

  (10:04 AM)

Awww, c'mon now. It took Calipari a good 9 years before he had any victories vacated at Memphis.

Frank (Boston)

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous for my return to TMB, wondering if I still have game, or if I ever had game. Just take it easy on me Buzz, let me get reaquainted.

Manny Ramirez (LA)

no need for the gender check, it's me. I went overboard with the female hormones

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Marc in Charlotte, drive to a mega millions state, 207 million Friday. Though, I donknow what the point will be, it' mine all mine.

Cliff Lee (Philadelphia)

I'm the best hitter in the National League! Consequently, this also explains my ERA...

ELO (ORLANDO-HOME)

I didn't win the powerball last night either. didn't even win on a scratch off :-(

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

BS Report, you are my only friend...

FRan Tarkenton (MInn)

waah,waah,waah.the Vikes signed a 3x MVP and s.b. champ. now when he wins i will b replaced waah ,waah,waah.

chaz (sa tx)

ok, so grizzlies lost all their wins because of why? oh but a big name(pull) school like USC still has their wins?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

That's just it, Buzz. Kentucky fans demand that those victories be vacated that much sooner.

Steve (NJ)

Morning Buzz - can you please tell me why I'm supposed to care that some mad bomber has prostate cancer and thus gets out of jail? He BLEW UP A PLANE FULL OF INNOCENT PEOPLE and he gets out of prison because he has bum pain? Shenanigans!

Matt (IN)

Good morning all. Rain, rain and more rain today.

Tom (River North)

One of these days I'm going to figure out how to get TMB to work properly exactly at 9:00 on Google Chrome.

The Suits (Bristol)

Buzz, the NCAA may make Memphis vacate some wins. And we may make you vacate the premises.

Nate (Madison)

I matched up the powerball, won $3. WOOOO

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

I'm really beginning to believe all the crazies that say the weather effects the joints. From my rotator cuff surgery, my shoulder is ready to fall off today. Stupid high pressure! Ok ok, so BS Report and my pain meds are my only friends...

chaz (sa tx)

its not chrome its buzz.

Clay (Charlotte)

Morning Buzz, did you hear the Farve is having an affair with Petino's wife and is starting the Bad Newz Kennels back up?

JB (TX)

Ummm, I think chaz is confusing the Memphis Tigers w/the Memphis Grizzlies, although I can see how that might happen.

Nolan (Hartford)

Last day of the internship today = Last day of the MB

Bob Moss (Silver Spring, MD)

Plaxico Burress being arraigned on gun charges is not sports news. Why does this deserve live TV coverage considering you can only show him entering and leaving the court house? Disgusting.

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

No. Someone peeing on your bed is disgusting. Talking with your mouthful is disgusting. The smell of rotting garbage in the hot sun is disgusting.

John Calipari (Kentucky)

You mean there's no subing allowed in SAT testing? No one told me that.

Ruckus (sa tx)

Stupid owner....where's the garbage?

Scott (Brewtown)

I have no idea what the numbers for powerball even were. Once I found out that the only winning ticket was in SC I havent cared to look.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

On the downside, I should be playing golf today but can't as my ankle is still not ready for such activities. On the upside, I'm here and have not been asked to vacate anything.

Steve (NJ)

Fun Fact: Kellogg's Special K waffles taste like cardboard dipped in tears.

Frank (Boston)

Hey Buzz, been a while, still looking good I see

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

And fat. HA! Beat all you suckers to it. Take that.

Bob (Lowell)

For those of you who didn't get enough of Favre already please leave and review yesterday's chat.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Good morning. I won 5 baseball game tickets off our local TV station. Now I just have to find someone to go with me.

Marc (Charlotte)

Cash value was only 125 mill. Only would have cleared around 70 mill.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Yeah. That's why I don't play. The lottery is for $207 million, but you only get $70 million. Forget that.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Fact: You can create your very own jersey for your dog on NFL.com for $39.99

Braysun (WV)

Big story in the NFL...The Texans will make the playoffs this year

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

Who would of thought that having surgery, doing no exercise and eating lots of food would cause you to gain weight... It's interesting really...

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Just use all 5 tickets for yourself, Robbi. Spread out, take a lie down.

Tom (River North)

Steve, if you want healthy waffles try the Kashi Blueberry ones. My girlfriend made me eat them once (saying that Eggo waffles are for children), and they aren't bad.

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Wow. I think Tom just gave Steve a backhanded dig.

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Good one.

Ruckus (sa tx)

Hear that chaz? Fork over the $40 so I can get my Romo jersey.

chaz (sa tx)

ruckus shut ur trap before muzzzle it, yea i said it.

Justin (Chicago)

Buzz would use all 5 tickets cause he's fat and can't fit in 1 seat, nonetheless 4 seats.

Steve (NJ)

I think he did, Buzz. I think he did.

Anthony (NY)

When missing the TMB yesterday I saw a comment from Brian slamming me, looks like he does do something other than drinking.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

YES!!! 2nd vote in the SN question of the day.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Snippy in here today. Bob Barker would be proud.

Clay (Charlotte)

chaz, I'm just wondering how you feel about your dog getting more attention then you in TMB.

Marc (Big D)

So I heard about this show called "Hoarders" on AE yesterday involving packrats. Apparently one episode featured a couple where the husband was a packrat and the wife was a compulsive shoppers. Can you say perfect storm?

Tom (River North)

No, no. No dig intended. Just a sad fact: my girlfriend of the time controlled my diet. I go back to Eggo's every now and then.

ELO (ORLANDO-HOME)

Buzz, are you guys planning anything special for the opening of college football?

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

Yes. Putting pants on.

Matt (IN)

Buzz I watched the show for the first time yesterday. Started off slow but it grew on me. It would've been better with a chat though. Stupid NASCAR.

Ruckus (sa tx)

I am offended sir! And I shall file my complaint in our shoes promptly!

Pete (NC)

Any of the lawyers in here, would you ever consider attending a provisioanlly accredited law school if it was local?

Matt Damon (Bristol)

Yeah, it must suck to play second fiddle. Buzz, where's your peanut butter?

Anthony (NY)

Why the change in time on SN TV yesterday Buzz, I had soem really funny comments sent in b4 it got cancelled.

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

I checked and they weren't. Please try again.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

NO, Pete. Don't do it. Seriously.

Anthony (NY)

oh that hurts Buzz

JB (TX)

Ok, am I the only one who finds the ongoing dialogue btwn chaz and his dog annoying? Seriously, I'd rather hear what those 2 drunks in Wisconsin did last nite...

Cory (PA)

Buzzburn!

Marc (Big D)

Good news! The ole neighbor got himself a headset. AHHHHH the silence is glorious.

Matt (IN)

Pete I'm not an attorney but attending any partially accredited school, regardless of what you are studying, is not really a good idea in my opinion.

Steve (NJ)

Pete, the object is to pass the bar and obtain employment. Neither of those is likely with an unaccredited school. The only benefit is they'll probably give you a scholarship.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I voted that Jeter is overrated, but actually I think he's pretty good. I just think he is like Tebow, people don't want to admit he's that good because of the media constantly drooling over him.

Nate (Madison)

Do you want to know what I did last NITE or last NIGHT?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Finally saw this week's episode of Hell's Kitchen. I actually figured out how to watch it via internet using my daughter's laptop. Next stop: DVR.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Do you still listen to a tape player?

Anthony (NY)

(Storming out of chat for Buzz's earlier comment/statement)

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Thank God.

Fake JB (TX)

Ruckus is overrated

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

Plax pleads guilty and will serve two years in prison. Say Buh Bye to your career!

Scott (Brewtown)

It's only 64 degrees out, been raining since 6pm yesterday, I have a head cold and the Brewers lost 3 straight to the Pirates. The PIRATES! Not a good day to be in Wisco

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Yeah, forget the dialogue between chaz and Ruckus. Ruckus is really much better as a soliloquy.

Pete (NC)

Yeah, CharlotteLaw is a brand new school trying to get accredited. The only reason I was looking at it is because of its location. The whole not-yet-accredited thing is a real big negative.

Tom (River North)

JB, just go to Hulu.com. They have all the Hell's Kitchen episodes.

Clay (Charlotte)

No Buzz, he's still got a 8-track player.

Awayne (INDY)

Any body else notice how cheesy the Prezs fake smile was when taking pics with Jimmy Johnson?

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

Yesterday was NASCAR day at the White House, not NFL day.

Steve (NJ)

Tom, Buzz doesn't know what a 'soliloquy' is.

Fake Clinton (Indianapolis)

I hate these newfangled tape players. I remember when the phonograph was invented.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Graduated from the old tape player last November when I got my new car. The new car has a six CD player installed. I'm slow with upgrading the technology but at least I'm not Clinton.

Steve (NJ)

Jeter has been overrated since 2001...but he's still awesome. And hitting over .330.

Steve (NJ)

Pete, a new law school is a sure-fire way to never get a job. Just trust me.

Scott (Brewtown)

I actually remeber the eight track era. I loved how a song would fade out right in the middle so it could change tracks. Top notch!

Clay (Charlotte)

Awayne, he has to be on camera all day everyday...you can only be really happy so much.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Steve is right, Pete. Stay far away from CharlotteLaw.

stephanie (cincy)

I can't watch Hell's Kitchen. I spent too many years in the restaurant biz and watching it is like having bad acid trip flashback

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

I can't decide if I would either laugh in that guy's face for yelling in my face all the time or want to punch him. Either way, I could never work for him.

Tom (River North)

Top Chef started last night. Padma is still smoking hot, and I haven't found a chef to dislike yet.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Is that where they have the two chefs compete to come up with a meal that has the secret ingredient in each dish?

Nate (Madison)

Clinton is just getting used to not having to use his feet as the car's engine.

Cory (PA)

Why bother with MP3's...soon as you upgrade they'll come out with MP6's and you have to start all over again.

Jeremy (Boston)

Jeter is awesome. At offense. It's the defense where he's overrated

Steve (NJ)

Buzz, i've worked for some jerk chefs in my day - Ramsay's a pussycat. And by 'pussycat' I mean 'terrifyingly obnoxious human being with a chip on his shoulder'

JB (TX)

Jeter's roster: Mariah, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johanson, Vanessa Minillo, Gabrielle Union, and now Minka Kelly. What's overrated about that?

Clay (Charlotte)

No Buzz, that's Iron Chef.

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

Oh. Then I have never seen that other show.

Clay (Charlotte)

My problem with Hell's Kitchen, as a former restaurant worker, is that I know too many people that would have punched him in the face. Not realistic at all.

Pete (NC)

And to think I thought TMB was only good for wasting an hour at work. Way to come through with the career advice.

Marc (Big D)

Buzz, that is Iron Chef. Top Chef is a reality show where they do different challenges and stuff.

stephanie (cincy)

Buzz, Chef''s are nuts and have access to big knives. Best not to laugh in their face.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I do not understand why people cannot just leave me alone for one freakin' hour!

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm the same Buzz. If I was employed by that guy, not sure how it would end, but it wouldn't last more than 20-30 minutes.

Jeremy (Boston)

Ohh....and Arod's a better SS. Jeter should be CF or 2nd Base by now.....but....

Tom (River North)

No Buzz, that's Iron Chef. Top Chef is where 15 chefs compete for money and GE appliances. It's hosted by Padma Laksmi, who is a great replacement over Bill Joel's wife.

daddy (or)

hells kitchen rocks !!!1

Cory (PA)

After basic training, I couldn't take Ramsey seriously. You ruined this risotto! Who cares! The fate of the world does not hinge on my execution of a rice dish.

Jimmy Johnson (White House)

HOW 'BOUT THEM UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

OK I'm catching up... Jeter and cooking shows.

Tom (River North)

In one of the first episodes of Hell's Kitchen, some guy invited Ramsay to head out to the parking lot.

Jorge (N.O)

Seriously guys sudo reality tv again, it is football season right?

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

No, it's not, actually.

Awayne (INDY)

Jeters of field success makes him HOF in my book.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

20 minute meeting, and another 5 minutes to get caught up. I'm starting to hate Thursdays...

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Ramsay's not small, though, and he's an ex-athlete (as much as soccer players are athletes). I'm sure he could take out some of those contestants, or at least outrun the fat ones.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

It doesn't matter if it's football season or not, this is not a sports chat

Jorge (N.O)

sorry, pre-season, you know what i mean.

Spelling Police (On Patrol)

Pull it over, Jorge. Psuedo. Here's your ticket. Watch it.

Bob (Lowell)

Hip hip Jorge.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who haven't requested the ONB yet need to get lives.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

Let's do it.....

RAY GORDON REID U MIAMI ( MIAMI FLORIDA 33124)

MY COMMENT AT 10.35 AM NOW BUZZ TEACHING FEMALES FOOTBALL

Fran Tarkenton (angry)

This chat is an absolute circus

Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)

People who change the SN chat time need to get lives.

kathryn (stl)

i think it's ridiculous that espn lack of coverage on the stl cardinals. it's going on 30 mins. into espn news

Nate (Sacramento)

When will ESPN start showing Premier League games?

Blake S. (Moraga, CA)

I came up with a great poll idea: What's the worst thing to do in sports? A: Intentionally injure a player or B: Knowingly and willingfully cheat(steroids)

mike w (omaha)

did andruw jones get 2 3-2 pitches a called ball then a strike?

Ruckus (lv nv)

Don't tell chaz but I cleared his bank account. I'm putting it all on black baby!

RAY GORDON REID ( DAYTON OH 45469)

MY COMMENT AT 10.25 NOW BUZZ I REALY DO LOVE MICHEELE BEADLE IF IWASNT 54 YEARS OLD I MARRIED HER

ernie (california)

I hope that somebody will hit him so hard that he will have to retired. I'm sick of ESPN talking about brett find something else to report

Chad (Las Vegas)

This whole Favre thing makes me think I am watching an episode of Big Brother where there are 2 Favre's that keep switching out for one another.

Colton Ludtke (Payson, AZ)

Okay so I know Brett Favre's return seems stupid, but come on, he is one of the greatest football players of all time. Notice how no one is bringing up Joe Montana's comeback. The only difference is Brett is making two comebacks.

Kevin (Farveridge, Virginia)

Hey, Michelle, where did you get that T shirt of Brett Favre peeing on Green Bay, I though it was genious and have been looking for on ever since your show on the 18th

linda (florida)

today is Tues the 18th not Thursday the 20th.

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

And that's it....

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

All in all, not a bad ONB. Lots of questions in there.

stephanie (cincy)

One of my first jobs was working at the NY Hilton. Two cooks had a fight and one guy stabbed the other and killed him. They put a table cloth over him and kept working like there wasn't a dead guy bleeding profusely on the floor

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

I'm calling shennanigans.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

You think the fake Rich Rodriguez will stop posting after Michigan goes 3-8 again and he gets fired?

Marc (Charlotte)

What about the guy from NJ who said that a girl shouldn't be able to shuck clams faster than him. He was easily dislikeable.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Someone needs to tell the Spelling Police it's Pseudo.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

As much as soccer players are athletes? I don't like the sport myself, but they run around that big field for 90 minutes, those guys are in shape

Clay (Charlotte)

Dont' worry Clinton, Thursday's hate you too. They thought you should have went with the Aztec calender instead.

Jorge (N.O)

Thanx. louis

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Top Chef is kind of like Hell's Kitchen for the more laid back set. No yelling by the judges just some harsh criticism. Chopped is the show where they give the chefs 3-4 mystery ingredients to make the different dishes (appetizer, main course, dessert).

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

I've seen Chopped. I like that show.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Wow, that story can't be true. I would not work if a guy was dying next to me.

Pete (NC)

Serioulsy, did the spelling police just spell it "psuedo"? Never thought I'd see the day the spelling police got it wrong...

Clay (Charlotte)

I second that Buzz.

Marc (Charlotte)

Umm... Pretty sure Montana didn't retire 7 times. Didn't he just go straight from the 49ers to the Chiefs?

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

That would be correct.

Steve (NJ)

Doesn't ESPN already show Premier League games? Oh, wait...that's right. I don't care.

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

That is correct.

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

On both of your statements.

Jillnorman (norman)

Steph, did that story have a moral?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I actually agree, Louis. I just threw that soccer jab in there because it seemed like the right thing to do.

Godish (Chicago)

Can we get a reality show where I can just watch people eat? I don't need any drama.

stephanie (cincy)

You calling shenanigans one me Buzz? When have I ever lied to you? True story all the way

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Chopped is the Top Chef D-league

Tom (River North)

Chopped is interesting. The ingredients are always so different.

Tom (River North)

I'm hoping the fake Rich Rod will go away after Michigan starts 4-0 including a victory over the most overrated QB in the history of college football, Jimmy Clausen.

Jeremy (Boston)

Montana was traded to KC. He didn't reire 6 times, crying each time.

Marc (Big D)

I would just get up and leave if I was on Chopped. "You have salmon, peanut butter, dried apricots and jalapenos. GO". And that is why I am not a chef.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I don't buy that either.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I have no allegiance for or against Michigan, so believe me when I tell you this: Michigan is TURRIBLE.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Chopped is awesome. They make some amazing stuff out of ingredients that have no business being put together.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

I will see your Jimmy Clausen and raise you one Ron Powlus

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

There is absolutely no way that happened, stephanie.

Don (San Francisco)

I never thought anyone would surpass the previous most overrated QB in the history of college football - Ron Powlus.

David (PA)

Favre only cried the one time, to be fair. The other time he knew he was just BSing everyone.

bubba (la)

lets get some real sports on ESPN, like noodling. ha

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Salmon in a apricot sauce with peanut butter stuffed jalapenos? I guess I would not be a good chef either

Brian (Madison, WI)

Is this Chopped show the MacGuyver of food shows? I have no idea if I spelled MacGuyver right, but I'll correct it if I need to using a battery, some floss, and a rock.

JB (TX)

If Buzz had salmon, peanut butter, dried apricots and jalapenos he'd eat them all and ask for seconds. Because, you know, he's fat.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

I would much rather have Jimmy Clausen and Ron Powlus over Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine

Clay (Charlotte)

Grilled salmon with a peanut butter glaze and a jalapeno and apricot salsa...that's not that hard.

Matt (IN)

Rick Meier was overrated too

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

Mirer...C'mon people. You're already online and you probably have a Google search bar built into your browser.

Chris (Philly)

I can hear Buzz' stomach grumbling from here.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Godish, you want to watch a show that's just some guy eating? They have that already. Man vs. Food.

Jeremy (Boston)

Duck Tape Brian. That is MacGuyver's favorite. Don't leave home without it.

stephanie (cincy)

You guys don't know anything about the restaurant biz especially in NYC. And there is absolutely no way I made it up. It happened in 1977, the same summer of the black out. People were very cranky due to the heat and "Son of Sam" on the loose

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Buzz=fat jokes. Always funny.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

The peppers go with the salmon and the peanut butter goes with the fruit.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Duct tape. Duct.

Steve (NJ)

DUCT tape. sweet leaping Jeebus!

Pete (NC)

I love it when they give them non-dessert stuff and they're supposed to make an actual dessert. But then the judges criticize them because it isn't a dessert. Then give them dessert ingredients! That's my only complaint with that show.

ELO (ORLANDO-HOME)

My cat is sitting up here with me putting his paw on my face because I'm not paying any attention to him.

Marc (Charlotte)

A guy deep fried a steak on Top Chef last night. That would be like heaven for Buzz.

Awayne (INDY)

There is actually a brand name of duct tape called Duck Tape.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Just put a lot of sugar in it, then it becomes a dessert

Cory (PA)

ELO, he's trying to steal your soul!

Marc (Big D)

I may not know anything about the restaurant biz, but I do know something about the BS biz.

MacGyver (Locked up somewhere)

A. Spell my name correctly B. when I was a kid I learned that I could take a paper clip, some gum, a tube sock, a little duct tape and my trusty utility knife and...bingo lock is busted and we are safe

Ryan (San Diego)

Fact...Rick Mirer coaches my boss' sons pop warner team. And baseball too

Brian (Madison, WI)

I don't care the year, the restaurant, or the city. There is no way someone got murdered in a restaurant kitchen and people just covered the dude up and left him.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

It's duck tape depending on where you live.

Matt (IN)

So it comes out. Buzz has been the Spelling Police all this time. Mirer, Meier, whatever. He still sucked.

JB (TX)

I did see Summer of Sam, steph. That movie sucked.

keith (lexington,nc)

hey i thought we were talking sports here, this must be the food network website the way that you people are talking. SPORTS PEOPLE!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

keith, that's enough from you. Before I forget, did anyone else hear about the guy who was lit on fire from being tased?

Nate (Madison)

Two years in prison for shooting himself. That kind of crime and sentencing along with others (simple marijuana possession), and we wonder why our prisons are costing a ton and overflowing.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

Who cares if he broke the law. He deserves to be sent to jail for being dumb.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Alright, keith, you want some sports talk? All your favorite teams suck. There. No go away.

stephanie (cincy)

They called the cops first. It just takes a while for them to get there, mid-town traffice and all.

Cory (PA)

Of course he was flammable. Homeless people are 23% alcohol by volume.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Sorry but that story is just unbelievable. So, when did they move the body, call the police and the health department and the coroner?

Brian (Madison, WI)

AGH! That guy's face is freaky!

Steve (NJ)

I love the crazy eyes, Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

Freaked out...See kids? That's what happens when you huff aerosal cans. Don't do drugs.

Cory (PA)

Two years in prison for taking a loaded, chambered, unliscensed gun into a NY club. Years of humiliation for shooting himself.

ryan (kansas)

well we try to talk sports and all we do is talk about off the field topics

David (PA)

What about the guy who stabbed him? Did everyone just let him keep working until the police showed up?

Marc (Charlotte)

And down goes Keith. Clinton with a great combination of insults and Keith is finished.

Jeremy (Boston)

It;s not 2 years for shooting himself.......it's 2 years for carrying a loaded weapon into a nightclub.....

Jillnorman (norman)

That's a slippery slpoe. Jail for being stupid.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz, did you just post a link in the MB? Good old MB 2.0! Well done.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Um, that should be now go away. *facepalm*

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I think the humiliation is more for wearing sweatpants to an NYC club.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

He should get an extra year tacked on for being stupid. Placing a loaded gun, without the safety on, with a bullet in the chamber in the waistband of your sweatpants? Moron.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz if everyone who was dumb went to jail, you'd be hosting this chat during your hour in the yard.

Jeremy (Boston)

The shooting himself just kinda makes the case easier for the DA.

Jorge (N.O)

plaxico gets two years.stallworth gets 22 days. some justice system huh?

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Stop comparing laws in different states.

stephanie (cincy)

Let it go. I am not in the habit of creating stories in the hopes I will get posted on the MB. It happened, I was there. It won't ruin my day if you don't believe it.

Marc (Charlotte)

Ryan, to be honest with you, after the first 5 minutes of the chat we don't really try to talk sports here.

Pacman Jones (Nightclub)

Everyone carrys guns in nightclubs

Buzzmaster

  (10:43 AM)

I want to know where these athletes are going that they think they need guns in nightclubs. I've been to plenty of bars and such, never thought, dang, I wish I had a gun.

JB (TX)

Fact: If Plaxico shot himself in Florida (where the gun was registered) he would not be going to jail.

Marc (Charlotte)

Ryan, do you make fun of Rick Mirer for wearing T-shirts and flip flops or do you save that for Philly Mick?

David (PA)

But I really want to know what happened to the stabber. Did he just continue to work until the police got there?

Nate (Madison)

Doesn't matter, it's basically a Class A example of our sentencing guidelines running a muck and overcrowding our prisons. Same goes with mandatory sentencing or truth in sentencing for simple crimes like possession of a small amount of pot for personal use. You compare our sentencing to other countries and look at how their correction system works, it's a joke.

Jeremy (Boston)

When the family of the victim in stallworth's case has forgiven him, I'm OK with it too.

Marc (Big D)

Fact: Bears eat beets.

Ryan (San Diego)

Have you ever had a lot of money, flashed it around and had a target on your back?

Steve (NJ)

What bugs me is that Andrew Cuomo is hell bent on prosecuting Plax, but not the shop owner in Harlem who, ALSO USING AN UNLICENSED FIREARM, shot and killed some guys trying to rob his store. I on;y bring it up b/c Cuomo is on record as saying he will always prosecute gun crime.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

A muck? Amok. Come on, Nate.

Nate (Madison)

Sorry, had to rant.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Simple solution: don't flash your money around . . . or at the least don't wear the target.

Tom (River North)

Burress should just be caned, like they do in Singapore.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Oh don't get me going on Bear meat, nothing like a nice Black bear burrito

Scott (Brewtown)

Ummm Nate, in some other countries, you would be stoned to death just for saying that.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Steve in NJ, yes, last night, when I was runnin the pool table all night. $5 here, $10 there, $160 later I'm leaving a happy camper with stink faces all my way.

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

You shoulda brought your gun with you.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I've never thought I needed a gun in a bar either, but a.) I live in Wisconsin, 2.) I'm not famous. Even if I was famous and thought I needed a gun, a person, like Nate, in my entourage would be the one carrying the gun.

Clay (Charlotte)

I have no problem with Plaz carrying a gun...with what happened to Sean Taylor and other sports stars being robbed...but you have to follow the law if you are going to carry one.

David (PA)

Is it time for lunch chat yet? I need some ideas.

Nate (Madison)

Or we should have stricter gun laws? But that's a discussion for another day. Don't need people in here calling me a Nazi or socialist for proposing that.

Pete (NC)

So Judge Nate, what would you suggest as a sentence for Plax?

Jeremy (Boston)

Steve......cause he knows he won't get a conviction in that. Look at what you just wrote.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Buzz, don't you dare start lunch chat early.

Pete (NC)

Looking -----> I see there is no 11:00 chat. Buzz, what gives?

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

1) Fantasy cancelled. 2) First Take will be still going on.

Jorge (N.O)

I live in one of the most violent cities in america and have never needed a fire arm to handle my business.

Cory (PA)

If you think you need a gun because you're rich and famous, hire someone to go with you to carry it.

stephanie (cincy)

Jeez, the stabber was grabbed by some other workers and held in the Chef's office until the cops came, which was about 15 mins. Are we good?

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

That's a little better. Details like that left out of the story made something not quite right.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Don't mean to belitlle, because I would be happy to win $160 a day, but for Plax, that is pocket change

Jillnorman (norman)

I believe you, Stephanie.

Marc (Big D)

When I win the lotto, I will just hire goons so I can snap my fingers and slowly walk away and let my business be handled.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

My daughter and I are going for pizza today. Lunch: Pepperoni and pineapple pizza, unsweet tea.

Nate (Madison)

Fine, couple months in jail, community service, and couple years of probation....including that if he gets caught with a gun again (legal or illegal) he goes to prison.

stephanie (cincy)

Don't go to places you think you need to take a gun. Just sayin........

Memphis Basketball (Memphis)

Lunch: vacated

Steve (NJ)

Lunch - 5 Guys Bacon cheeseburger. With extra bacon.

Cory (PA)

Lunch: Subway, won't know the sammich til I get there.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Jim Mora (via mobile)

Details?! Details?! What do you mean, details?!

Nolan (Hartford)

Well, its been a good summer. Thanks for helping me get through the 10-11 time slot M-F at my internship this year. Talk to ya next summer.

Dave (vt)

I just ate a scone, i feel very british.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Lunch: still hesitating between, quiznos and subway

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Finally time for lunch chat. I have this basket and inside are beef, cheese, rolls, potatoes and tomatoes. What ever shall I have?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: Almond butter and jelly sammich, vanilla yogurt. And you thought Eggos were for kids.

Tom (River North)

Pizza sounds good. Maybe I'll convince my parents that we should have pizza instead of mom cooking something.

David (PA)

Thank you Stephanie.

stephanie (cincy)

What did you want me to do Buzz? Write a book? There are a million details I left out due to the time constraints of the MB

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

You need some Eggos to let the inner kid out of your today.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Mom cooking? I thought you were a grown man...

Clay (Charlotte)

Post it in the ONB, then we'll take a vote tomorrow steph

Diners (NYC)

Lunch: Some dead guy's fingers

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Almond butter? Is it better than peanut butter?

Don (San Francisco)

Lunch: No restaurants in NY, for starters

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: Rocky Rococo's Pizza

Cory (PA)

Chat in the MB daily and you'll never work a day in your life, because you'll be fired from every job.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Lunch: Need to get 5 miles in, probably will only do 3-4 though.

Marc (Big D)

Lunch: Salmon, Apricot and Jalapeno salad with a light peanut butter dressing.

stephanie (cincy)

Nate, NYC has the toughest gun laws in the country. Plax screwed up in the wrong city.

Pete (NC)

Lunch: have to go get something due to me sleeping through my alarm and having no time to pack something. Either Salsaritas or Jersey Mike's.

Buzzmaster

  (10:54 AM)

Just as long as it's not Prison Mike's.

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: 5, $5, $5 footlongs

Scott (Brewtown)

Only Robert (Raleigh) is allowed to write books for the MB

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Lunch: Hot wings and steak fries both drenched in tabasco sauce.

Dave (vt)

Maybe Stephanie left out that she was the stabber.

JB (TX)

Lunch: Hmm, haven't been to Chik Fil-A in a while. Also, as far as punishment for Plax, well he lost his job and missed out on collecting on a $35M contract, plus the public embarrasment of knowing he was stupid enough to shoot himself in the thigh I think is punshment enough. Jail isn't gonna do anything for that guy.

Clay (Charlotte)

Lunch: Moe's

David (PA)

I think 5 guys was the best idea anyone gave me. Extra bacon sold it.

Nate (Madison)

That's not my point Steph, I'm talking about how the laws or moreover the sentencing structure is wrong. ANYWAYS, no idea what's for lunch today.

Marc (Charlotte)

Don't other countries cut peoples hands off?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I have to say, these Buzz v. stephanie battles are quite entertaining.

SteveFitz Stomach (Cicero)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

stephanie (cincy)

Will do Clay. Should I include the part where I had to throw away my shoes because I stepped in blood?

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

This should be a movie.

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

Or at least a short film.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Loved the Prison Mike reference, Buzz. Outstanding episode of, 'The Office.'

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: Culver's, so good.

stephanie (cincy)

Yes, I was the stabber. He screwed up my order.

Nate (Madison)

Especially our jail/prison system that continues to cut down on programs for treatment, education, etc. Basically warehouses for criminals ot simply sit and wait out their sentences.

Buzzmaster

  (10:57 AM)

When you get on a subject, you really stick to it, huh?

Diane Lane (Hollywood)

I want to play Steph (cincy)

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Thanks for helping me to get my Thursday off to a great start. I almost don't mind that I have a meeting after hours tonight. Have a great day to those I won't see in the SNTV chat. Catch you all back here for Casual Friday MB chat.

Cory (PA)

If the nearest 5 Guys wasn't 45 minutes away, I would be a much happier, and fatter person

Clay (Charlotte)

Please do, just make sure you describe the sound of it oozing when you stepped in it. I want a full mental picture.

Nate (Madison)

So I got homework for my second round of testing tomorrow. Have to develop a neighborhood watch program and give a five minute presentation to a fake group of 15 people, then hold a ten minute Q

Jason (Ellicott City)

Lunch: Jimmy Johns

Ryan (Detroit)

I hear that the Raiders cut FB Lorenzo Neal. What are they doing??? He is one of the best blockers in the league. There goes McFadden's breakout year!

stephanie (cincy)

Uma Thurman is my preference.

Ryan (Michigan)

You Suck Buzz!

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate wants to be a cop so he's hoping his future employers read this chat and are impressed with his knowledge of the subject.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Hey, I've been working out 6 days a week, hard, I need to treat myself. No matter the consequences.

Marc (Big D)

One thing I will definitely never miss, homework. So long suckers!

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Just do it here Nate, you won't belive how many dumb questions we can come up wiht in 15 minutes

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

The nearest 5 guys to me is 3 hours away, dammit

Nate (Madison)

I need a drink.

Cory (PA)

Next time I buy shoes I will make a point to ask the salesman which one is best for walking in blood stains, Is traction more important than stain resistance?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

And the ampersand strikes again!

Tom (River North)

Actually, I'm going to have Eggos for lunch. It just sounds good.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Have a good day, just one day left. Bye y'all.

stephanie (cincy)

Lunch: I am home today, so I am thinking BLT

Clay (Charlotte)

Alright SN have a great day. Be safe, we'll see ya tomorrow. Peace.

Cory (PA)

See you in the SN chat. Have a good day, Don't stab anyone steph!

Matt (IN)

Billy Mays probably could've sold you something to clean that blood off your shoes, steph. RIP Billy. Lunch for me is undecided.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Alright, people, stay classy and enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Anthony (NY)

See u in SN Chat.

Marc (Big D)

Have a great day, have your pets spayed and neutered and watch out for angry chefs!

Buzzmaster

  (11:01 AM)

Ok we're done here. Thanks for stopping by today. As of right now, we're on for the SNTV chat at 4. See you then or tomorrow morning. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

See you tomorrow, MB'ers, after Buzz a chance to wash all the NYC blood off the chat (both Plaxico's and steph's co-worker).

Ruckus (sa tx)

Screw you Marc! And you too Barker!

Scott (Brewtown)

Bye!

Brian (Madison, WI)

Thirsty Thursday will be enjoyed by me today. Have a few friends back in town so it gives me a good excuse.

Nate (Madison)

Steph scares me.
