Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Gooooooooooood morning!
Bob (Lowell)
Another big day Tuesday in the world of sports so let's talk about something else.
Marc (Big D)
This lottery is so rigged. I guess I will have to settle for $320 mil on Friday.
stephanie (cincy)
Do companies even give coffee breaks anymore?
The Suits (Bristol)
Wait, Buzz didn't get the drift when we cancelled his little afternoon chat? Ok, let us spell it out for you: you're done. Now go get us some lattes.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Cory is looking for a clever name for his Morning Buzz Fantasy Football team. I actually came up with some ideas on the way to work today.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
RIP Ted Kennedy
Bob (Lowell)
FFL owners have until midnight Thursday to get their players signed or they will become unrestricted free agents.
Trevor (Texas)
Good morning to all.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, folks! Let's get this Hump Day going.
Tom (River North)
I'm not as worried about coffee breaks as I am the fact that smokers get to go randomly smoke from time to time and kill a few minutes, while non-smokers get no such perks.
Nate (Madison)
I usually take a longer lunch than I put on my timesheet. My reasoning is that people can take smoke breaks throughout the day and don't record them, I'm adding a little on my lunch. I also second the RIP Ted Kennedy
Tom (River North)
It's too bad about TAB. It was the best part of the show...
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Hi, Buzz, bright and early!
Pete (NC)
I don't get it. What else does Buzz have to do during the SN show? I mean he's not important. Why can't he host the chat?
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
That's why I bring beer to work.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I only take one smoke break in the morning, and one in the afternoon.
Frank (Boston)
Guess whos back, back again
Brett (Butler,PA)
what up buzz,i get today off and then have to work for 2 weks straight,whoopee!
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Wow chaz was right, San Antonio beat Cali last night. A real good LL game.
Steve (NJ)
Colin Cowherd making the argument that QBs get by on looks was like Jalter claiming he works for a big law firm in the city...
Godish (Chicago)
Buzz, how many lunch breaks do you take?
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Enough.
Clay (Charlotte)
I have a co-worker who keeps an empty plastic bottle of cheap vodka that she keeps filled with water. She likes to take sips from it when people walk by to freak them out.
Reggie (Boston)
TAB is kaput? What happened, Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
I guess it wasn't needed. Who knows, maybe they're trying to phase me out.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, did you see the clip of the Little Leaguer who asked his coach if he could throw at the next batter and when the coach said "No" asked to be taken out of the game?
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
No. But I like it.
Alex(Chicago, Illinois) [via mobile]
Good morning Buzz and his fellow Buzzettes. Day two of back to school.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
It is a bad economy.
The Pulse (via mobile)
Now he's learning how it feels! I knew this voodoo doll would work...
Steve (NJ)
I'm hating the LLWS right now; because I have to actually root for Staten Island.
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
Things could be worse. You could live in New Jersey.
Brandon (Albany)
I am drafting Usian Bolt in fantasy track with my first overall pick but who do you think is number 2?
tom* (parkville, md)
So Buzz, do you have other duties with the show, or are your afternoons free now?
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Yup. Aside from getting the chats going, there's also the daily show prep - getting the polls/rankers set up and getting the TV folks the results.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I always watch the LLWS. I even put watching the Cardinals on hold so I can watch the kids.
Isiah Thomas (FIU)
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose to UNC. I'll totally lose to OSU though. Screw helping a cancer cause.
stephanie (cincy)
North Jersey=Staten Island
Steve (NJ)
I see what you did there, Buzz. Cle-vah.
Clay (Charlotte)
Ah, making fun of NJ is the only way to start the day.
Gordon Ramsey (Hell's Kitchen)
Buzz, you fat pig. This is raw!
coyote (sa)
I think having two chats made Buzz a little uppity. The suits felt he wasn't spending enough time getting coffee, shining shoes, etc for all the important people.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I missed all MB yesterday because of a meeting. Can you believe people still schedule meetings during the MB, they should know better by now
Terry Tate (Office Linebacker)
YOU FINISH THE JOE, YOU MAKE SOME MO'!!!
Steve (NJ)
Stephanie - no. North Jersey is nothing like Staten Island. Central Jersey, on the other hand...
Matthew Berry (Bristol)
Hey Brandon, why do you check out my Fantasy Track Love/Hate column only on ESPN. (Where you can place Fantasy Track for free!)
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So, apparently 11% have a problem with a grown man having a drink at a bar. Please kindly remove the stick from your bum.
Matt (South Bend, IN)
It was like Brent Musberger was saying Buzz...you even have the big leaguers peeking into the clubhouse during their games to keep tabs on the LLWS.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I can't believe 11% of people are bothered by a photo of Vick having a drink. Those people should brace themselves in case a photo of him buying groceries comes out
Marc (Big D)
The only thing I enjoy about the LLWS is the inevitable 6'2" 230 pound "13 year old" that just looks so out of place. Makes me chuckle.
Marc (Charlotte)
Just read a story that a 19 year old kid in England in the hospital with liver failure due to binge drinking decided to check himself out and go to the pub.
Dave (vt)
north, south, central, its all in the arm pit.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I felt bad for the Kentucky kids. Outscored 39-3 in their three games. Ouch.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Where the heck is Ruckus this morning?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Not to mention the 4'11" 85 pound kid that goes yard.
Jerry Jones (Dallas)
Buzz, did you get my last comment, or did it hit the humungo HDTV that I own?
Clay (Charlotte)
President Obama had a beer with the guys who arrested that professor, on national TV. Nobody had a problem with that. Leave Vick alone.
Scott (Brewtown)
I was on a little league team for 2 years. We won exactly 1 game in 2 years. Needless to say a lot of engineers and weathermen came from my neck of the woods.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Liver failure at 19? When did he start drinking, day one?
Matt (South Bend, IN)
Clinton...Team Germany nearly gave up 50 runs in 3 games. Yet they still nearly beat Canada. Actually should've beat Canada, Katie Reyes messed that up.
Sean (Philly)
Speaking of Fantasy Football team names and Mike Vick, my buddy named his team name Kibbles and Vicks.
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
I've seen that for team names and league names.
Mark Sanchez (New York, New York)
Coach says I am going to be the starting QB this season but I am actually kind of mad because that is gonna cut severly into my modeling time and Matt Leinart told me being a back up is much more fun
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
Roids.
Jordan (Peoria)
Buzz, was that you typing on the Ryan chat yesterday?
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
There wasn't a Ryan chat yesterday.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Clinton: A man having a drink at a bar, no. A man just released from prison who needs to improve his image and show he's on the right path having a drink at a bar, yes.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
How is having a drink not showing that he's on the right path?
Clay (Charlotte)
The LLWS is awesome. I would love to see a major league pitcher get shelled for back to back HRs and have to fight to hold back tears. Real love of the game, that's awesome.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
I would like to see a major league bat all 9 players and not have the other team change pitchers.
Steve (NJ)
Obama isn't a convicted felon on probation...also, American media-types are succubi. Except the folks at the Worldwide Leader, of course. Ahem.
stephanie (cincy)
Buzz, come on man defend your home state. It is under attack from people who have never stepped one foot inside it
Nate (Madison)
Vick had no issues with alcohol abuse in the past, as far as I know, so there should be no problem if he's simply sitting down having a drink.
tom* (parkville, md)
I'm guessing 11% of the population are bothered by alcohol in general.
Mets Trainers (Soon to be unemployed)
Is anybody looking for athletic trainers? We will soon be looking for jobs and we are really good... just please don't contact our former employer
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Vick entering in a pet shop = bad ofr his image. Vick having a drink... doesn't seem so bad
Don (San Francisco)
I haven't seen the picture yet. Was Vick kicking a dog while he was drinking?
Ryan (San Diego)
I missed my own chat yesterday?
Jordan (Peoria)
Sorry Ryen Russillo
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Nope. Not me.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Chaz has a picture of Ruckus posted in the FFL.
Cubs fans (Chicago)
We would like to see a real major league team period...At least the Nationals are in town
Matt Damon (BuzzMansion)
I would love to see Buzz have to stay at work until after SN TV.
Pete (NC)
My strategy this year for fantasy names is making fun of my opponent every week. I'll probably rethink that after week 3 when I get tired of thinking of new names.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
So you think we should only be seeing pics of Vick in church?
Scott (Brewtown)
I don;t see how having a drink at an airport bar hurts his image. Now if he flew to Hong Kong and asked for Double Poodle burger, that would be different.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I think tom*'s on to something. Remember, there are still dry counties in this country. Most notable one: The county where the Jack Daniel's distillery is.
Nate (Madison)
He didn't have substance abuse problems, more specifically with alcohol so how is having a drink in a calm manner ruining his image? Not like he's out there "spraying down the crowd" and staying out to 4am every night.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Well, at least we haven't seen pictures of it anyway. Yet.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
It's a perception thing, Buzz. Like it or not, everything Vick does from here on out will be under the microscope. All that would have had to happen was he gets into some confrontation right after being seen at the bar and whether the alcohol had anything to do with it or not, Vick becomes public enemy number one again. Not saying it's right but you know that's how it is.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Getting into a confrontation, with or without the bar, would be bad for his image. Having a drink, like anyony legally can is not a problem. He wasn't breaking any laws. He wasn't violating any probation. Maybe he had a long travel day and just wanted a drink to relax.
SportsNation Poll (ESPN)
Do photographs of Buzz eating at the local Five Guys make you want to throw up?
Pacman (Unemployment Line)
Did someone mention something about going out until 4am and spraying down a crowd? How about making it rain? Anyone have any money I can borrow?
coyote (sa)
Nate, you defending a person for drinking is like Buzz defending a person for overeating.
Clay (Charlotte)
I have a friend who was so drank so much at the airport they wouldn't let him board the plane. He was too drunk to fly...which means he was too drunk to sit on his butt for 4 hours. I think I need new friends.
Michael Phelps (Baltimore)
Watch it, Vick. There are cameras everywhere these days!
Nate (Madison)
So if Bernie Madoff got out of prison, just saying if, and was spotted having a drink you would be up in arms about it right? I mean, that is your logic.
Tom (River North)
If Buzz wanted to stand up for NJ, he could make the argument for OH as the true armpit of America.
Sean (Philly)
If alcohol was a gateway drug to dog fighting I could see the argument, but since Nate and Brian haven't been accused of dog fighting, I think Vick is OK.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I think I need to apologize for starting this Vick talk...
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And at least one airport bar that I know of (Denver) has a two-drink minimum. Probably because you can also smoke in there.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I guess we'll get on Favre next.
stephanie (cincy)
Nice Tom, covered both states dear to my heart in one post. No state can be called the armpit of America, all of them have good and bad areas.
Frank (Boston)
Farve Doller Footlong
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
Favre-a-palooza.
Scott (Brewtown)
I have to talk to the new hires about investments in 5 minutes. The only bright spot is that I'll miss the ONB. Have a good day everyone!
Brian (Madison, WI)
No one is giving Bernie Madoff a chance to repair his image as a good person. There are a lot of people that are giving Vick a second chance and although there is nothing wrong with having a drink, there will be people that will have a problem with it and it's something he could easily do in private rather than in a public setting.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I'm going to the Bass Pro in Springfield Mo. Is there anything else to do there? I'm guessing you haven't been there.
Clay (Charlotte)
Bourbon St. is the armpit of America.
Jordan (Peoria)
That's Favretastic
tom* (parkville, md)
There are worse places than Ohio. Maryland comes to mind.
Brett Favre (via mobile)
Favre-a-rooskie
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Again Buzz, I don't have a problem with it. I'm just telling you why others do.
Sean (Philly)
New Jersey does have some nice areas, like the ones that border PA.
Marc (Charlotte)
Bernie should have asked to be sent to prison in Scotland, where apparenlty if you have cancer you can be sent home.
Chris (MPLS)
The trash can of America resides in Newark, NJ. Worst place ever.
Godish (Chicago)
I can't believe Vick is allowed to be in airports. Really worries me.
Brandon (Albany)
Did anyone hear frank caliendo this morning on mike and mike? the best part of the whole thing was when he was pretending to be john madden and how he was coming out of retirement and replacing al micheals with paddington bear
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
Only two have ended games.
JB (TX)
Favre update: People here in Houston are actually scrambling to get tickets FOR A PRESEASON GAME because Favre is playing. I keep reminding them it's preseason, and most people can't give those tickets away usually. They don't care. Idiots.
Nate (Madison)
There's where your wrong Brian. It has nothing to do with the drink itself. Those 11% simply have a problem with Vick in general, and will find anything he does to be a problem
Michael Vick (Airport Bar)
Buzz, I'll buy you a drink if you post the ONB.
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
Let's do it.....
dave (c wood nj)
so what doews everyone think about the phillies?do you think they can repeat?why or why not? and is cliff lee the best pitcher in baseball right now?
Brian (Pottsville)
Do you think Vick will take over the starting QB spot in Philly?
Confused in Virginia [via mobile]
I thought Matthew Stafford was supposed to be better than Mark Sanchez? Turns out, its the other way around.
Chris (Hannibal, MO)
Do you think Albert Pujols will break Barry Bonds' career mark of 714? (29 years old, 360 HR's)
Shawn F. (N J)
With all the new stadiums modifications which will be the toughest places to play in the NFL
Tom Jansen (Phoenix)
Buzz, has the SportsNation TV show been canceled? I looked for it the other day and got soccer instead. I could certainly see why they would cancel the show, since it sucks, but I do like it and don't want it to go away. I just wish they would embrace their viewers more. Remember back when ESPN showed tractor pulls? There are still a lot of us out there who want to see that again. Get it done!
Isiah Thomas (Florida)
We're backing out of the chat. Our contract says The Pulse, not Buzz.
DZ61 (San Diego)
Can we please stop talking about Vick? I just ate...
Connor (Connecticut)
Can someone tell me why the Lions feel it's necessary to have so many wide receivers on their roster?
Jason (Westerville, Ohio)
Do the Bengals honestly not have any better options for kicker than the egotistical, feed-me-attention Chad Change-My-Name Johnson?
chaz (sa tx)
in case anyone has wondered what The Great Ruckus looks like. http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/chaz9205
LLWS San Antonio (TX)
Hey Ryan (San Diego), shut you up didn't we? keep underestimating us, we like it.
chaz (sa tx)
Back from a fishing trip one time i filleted a 28" Red Drum fish in the back yard and put the head and bones into a trashbag afterwards. i forgot about it...for a week.. me and my fiance come home one day to smell this TURRIBLE stench walking up to the house. Ruckus had gotten into the trashbag and there were fishparts all over the backyard. i picked ruckus up while holding my breath cause it was such a rancid smell. ( 102*F will do that after a week) and threw him into the shower. i put a rubber glove on and shalacked toothpaste all over my hand and cleaned his mouth out with colgate tarter control. the fiance was mad cause he also smelled like strawberries thanks to her bottle of body wash. needless to say, no more fish in the backyard. oh and take that LLWS san antonio non believers.!!
LadyBuzz (BuzzMansion)
Buzz, would you be a dear and go pick up dinner for Matt and I. We ordered already. Of course we didn't order anything for you (even Matt doesn't have THAT kind of money). Maybe you can get a loan and then order yourself some food, as well. Thanks.
ONB Police (ONB)
Wait... I'm supposed to be monitoring this crap? Good grief, there are not enough tickets for all these comments. I'm going back to sleep.
the Suits (Bristol)
Hey Buzz. Um, we're going to need you to move your desk back into the basement. Yeah, you see... we need to use this space to store some boxes, so we'll need for you to move. Okay? Thanks.
Jesse (BB Jury House)
Hey, Buzz. I still look good, right? Okay, now my shirt's off. Now I look incredible, right? I have your best interests in mind with every decision I make. I'm so unselfish. And so awesome.
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
And that's it....
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz make it stop...I think I just dropped 10 IQ points.
JB (TX)
Fact: I lived in Springfield, Mo for 2 yrs, 2 blocks away from Bass Pro. There is NOTHING to do there.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Nate your face is wrong.
chaz (sa tx)
best.onb.ever.
Brian (Madison, WI)
People are already coming to conclusions about whether Stafford or Sanchez is better? It's a couple preseason games deep, are you kidding me?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wait, did the guy from Phoenix say that the show sucks, but he likes it? We have Western Brian, ladies and gentlemen!
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Wow! Someone made a joke about the Lions and wide receivers. I feel like I am 5 years younger
Rich (Douglas AK)
The ONB blinded me with science.
Nate (Madison)
My head hurts after reading that.
Steve (NJ)
I so don't care about Ruckus eating out of the trash can.
Chris (Philly)
You have to have 10 IQ points to lose first. ZING!
Steve (NJ)
Sanchez plays for my NY Jets; therefore, he will be the lesser QB because the gods hate the Jets.
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
I don't think the gods have anything to do with that. I think the Jets can screw things up on their own.
chaz (sa tx)
steve it wasn't the trash can, it was a trash BAG
Frank (Boston)
I turned away from my screen for 5 mins and it burst into flames because of the ONB
Chat Police (On Patrol)
Pull it over, Chris. No ZINGing your own jokes. Here's your ticket. Watch it, buddy.
Nate (Madison)
and I have a nose bleed.
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
Quit sniffing glue and snorting coke at the same time.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
I can't believe Jeff actually back doored Russell. I mean we kind of saw this coming but he actually did it. Russell is definitely out, and, I feel, Michelle's time is coming up next unless she gets HOH or POV. It looks like either Jeff or Jordan are going to win this unless by some miracle Kevin and Natalie start winning some games! It's been really exciting... now I just can't wait to see Russell explode on Jeff.
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
I don't know. Jeff is in trouble if Jordan doesn't win HOH next time. Kevin and Natalie could easily go back on their deal, which I could see them doing. Though, they would have to win something first.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
The ONB made me dizzy.
chaz (sa tx)
and red drum is a kinda fish....
Matt (IN)
chaz, when I was 20 I helped my dad do some remodeling work on my grandparents house because he and my mom were going to move out there. There was nothing in there and he shut off the power for awhile before we got started working on it...forgetting that there was a stocked freezer in the basement. Guess who had to clean it out. I'm tellin ya, you haven't lived until you taken a dethawed turkey out of a freezer. So chaz, I feel your pain.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Reading the ONB reminds me of Lewis Black's routine about the dumbest thing he ever heard: "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college." Absolutely hilarious.
Frank (Boston)
Glue covered coke? I think we're onto something here.....
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Some very prolific writers in the ONB. Chaz must have carpal tunnel from his night of work.
coyote (sa)
Kevin and Natalie WILL go back on the deal if they win. They've said so in private. Now Michelle is not happy. Jeff's game depends on Jordan. Good luck Jeff.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
What is Brendan talking about? Who are Russell and Kevin? I felt like I miised a big post
Nate (Madison)
Ok...let's change the subject to something worthwhile. Movies? TV? Something fun.
Steve (NJ)
I can't believe grown men watch Big Brother...
Pete (NC)
Just so we're all on the same page, if you don't agree with Nate he won't drop it until A)you finally give in B)you stab yourself in the eye to make the pain stop C)you give him a beer or two or twelve
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Well to be fair to Steve, God did make New Jersey where the Jets play so...
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I'm figuring Brian will change his MB FFL team name at least five times this year. I also wonder if he will root for another team to win besides his own.
Don (San Francisco)
District 9 was awesome. I was rooting for the aliens.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Watched Baseketball last night. I had completely forgotten about Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s cameo as the cab driver. Pretty funny stuff.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Jeff has won a lot of competitions, while Natalie, Kevin, and Jordan have one 0 (Jeff let Jordan win one). He's got it locked up if Jordan wins, but it's going to get ugly if someone else wins.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
Jeff would have a good shot at winning the veto, if he does get put up.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I can't figure out why the other house guest haven't put Jeff up against Jordan yet. I mean they share a brain between them so if you break them up, they should easily be voted out of the house.
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
They've controlled the house for the most part since Jeff used his mystery power. But out of everyone left, Jeff deserves to win the most.
Sean (Philly)
The new Timothy Burton movie 9 looks kind of interesting.
Tom (River North)
Poor Milton Bradley thinks that Cubs fans hate him. Aww...
Buzzmaster (10:37 AM)
It's simple. You perform and people like you. It's the same for anyone on any team. Derek Jeter was booed by the Yankee fans, for crying out loud.
Jamie (New Jersey)
Poor ronnie. i liked him lol
Brian (Madison, WI)
My boss has been trying to convince me to audition for Big Brother. After listening to you clowns I don't know if I want to.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
I wonder if Russell is going to get into a fight with Jeff? He's a loose cannon.
Buzzmaster (10:37 AM)
All the more reason to get rid of him now.
Demetric (Orlando)
Tom, MAN RULE # 322, men don't say awww
Jordan (Casper, Wyoming)
Cubs fans do hate him...Jake Fox is better than Bradley and Soriano rolled up into one player(and paid 28 million dollars)
Matt (South Bend, IN)
Tom, that's the definition of a softie...Be embarrassed Milton real embarrassed
Steve (NJ)
The Avatar trailer has also piqued my interest...of course, when you tell me James Cameron is taking 10 years to develop the tech to make the coolest movie he's ever seen, I tend to be interested, regardless.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
JB, thats what Jeff did to Natalie and Jesse, it was a good move. On the flip side, if you have Jordan or Jeff, you have 2 votes on your side if you get put up. It worked for Kevin and Natalie.
chaz (sa tx)
yea a defrosted turkey sounds pretty turrible also. i would imagine it was probably falling apart
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Brian, your boss wants you on BB? Isn't just firing you a better choice?
Nate (Madison)
I think the Amazing Race would be fun.
Frank (Boston)
Are they serious? Or are you just making stuff up about the show?
Marc (Charlotte)
Brian, I don't think there is enough booze in the house for you to survive.
Drew (Buffalo)
Watched beerfest last night... it was a lot funnier than i would have thought.
Frank (Boston)
I'm making my first trip to Jersey in October. I'm renting a car just incase, don't want mine to stink at trade in time.
stephanie (cincy)
Anyone see "Inglorious Basterds"? Tarantino is my fav
Marc (Charlotte)
Really, Big Brother talk? And I thought soccer talk was agonizing.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Jeff is clearly the best player left but watch out for the red-headed floater. She can play both sides and might be the surprise winner.
Mike Gundy (Stillwater )
People who watch Big Brother aren't men or 40, and need to get lives.
Ruckus (sa tx)
i loved turner and hooch
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
A person has a mystery power???
Tom (River North)
You can saw "aww" when it's said with a mocking/sarcastic tone of voice. That just doesn't translate through chats.
Drew (Buffalo)
Demetric..... "MAN RULES" don't exist.
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
However, there is a "Bro Code."
Don (San Francisco)
I think the only reason Jessica Biel is the most dangerous search term on the internet is because it takes too long to spell Scarlett Johansson.
Steve (NJ)
Bro Code? Where'd you pick that up, a Brodeo?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Haven't seen Basterds yet, but I'm seeing that this weekend along with District 9.
coyote (sa)
They already fought. Lots of threats, no action. Jeff was stupid to nominate Russell. Russell was actually going to stick by Jeff, and Jeff stupidly believed people who had to take any chance to try to survive another week.
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
But Russell in the private room already said that he was coming after Jeff. And he said when Jeff got HOH that he should put Russell up.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Clinton, you going to sneak around for the 1 ticket double feature? I like your style.
Hambone (Frat House)
Tell me more about this "Bro Code", bro favor.
Romeo (Tin Cup)
I only got one rule, Buzz. You don't bet money you don't have on a dog race with an ex-girlfriend who happens to be a stripper. And you broke that rule.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
OK I'll switch topics. Did anyone see Chopped last night where they made the chefs use black olives in the dessert? That's just wrong.
Jordan (Casper, Wyoming)
In what universe do Plax and Vick serve the same prison time?
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)
This one.
Jonathan (Madison)
Showtime 2 shows 24/7 live coverage inside the Big Brothers house....now that is creepy.
JB (TX)
Clinton can't sneak anywhere, his walker makes too much noise.
Nate (Madison)
I think the BB talk is a way of Buzz telling us to pick a better topic to entertain him with.
Clay (Charlotte)
Blah, blah, Big Brother, blah, blah, veto, blah, blah, blah...
Jamie (New Jersey)
Michele will win this game as a floater most likely.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The next movie I'll probably see will be 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.' This is how it is with two two kids under the age of 13.
coyote (sa)
Russell knows he can win at final four. Next week was when they should have taken Russell out, if possible. But Jeff can't play next week, so instead of only having 1 person after him (nat or kevin), he now has 3 (nat, kevin and michelle). Like I said. Stupid.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I know this is just going to perpetuate the gag, but I did find out that the local theater has $5.00 tickets for movies that start before noon. Not bad. If the movie sucks, hey you're only out 5 bucks.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Jamie, you're crazy. Michelle is going out next week.
Steve (NJ)
I keep reading 'floater' and thinking of Caddyshack.
Marc (Charlotte)
Clinton won't sneak around. He'll use his senior citizen discount and get two tickets for the price of one.
chaz (sa tx)
i'm susprised no one besides trukey guy commented about the ruckus story in the onb, im a lil dissapointed in everyone.
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
1) it was too long, no one ready the whole thing. 2) complaining that people aren't talking about it only makes people think that you made it up to get a reaction out of people.
stephanie (cincy)
Buzz, my son turned 15 last week. He has a GF that he spends every waking moment with. Should I slip some condoms in his dresser?
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
Oh Lordy.....Can we go back to Big Brother talk?
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Jonathan, BB is voyeurism with competitions and 500,000 on the line. But it's fun to watch.
Sean (Philly)
I stumbled on the 24/7 coverage of Big Brother before, that was just terrible, people just sitting around, not really even talking.
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
You forgot your quotes around "stumbled."
JB (TX)
Beating my head on the desk > Big Brother talk > Ruckus talk
Nate (Madison)
So another Back to the Future question, maybe this has been answered. But there is a Biff in the 1950's and a Griff in 2015 but why is there not one of these guys when they are in the 1980's?
Fake chaz (sa tx)
Hey everybody! Look at me, pay attention to me and my dog. Come on guys, I'm not getting enough attention, seriously.
coyote (sa)
hey, chaz. I liked your Ruckus story in the ONB. Happy?
Marc (Charlotte)
Chaz, it was too long. Hochuli would have flagged it for excessive length if it were in the regular chat.
Bob (Lowell.)
Did Chaz really complain that nobody commented on his stupidity?
chaz (sa tx)
very true buzz, but come one , i cant make that stuff up. ur giving me way too much credit.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I tried watching that BB after Hours show when I had Showtime. The regular hours on CBS are far better.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
*puts on the helmet* Steph, I don't think that's a question you want answered by this crew...
Jeff (BB House)
I was going to be the target no matter who left the house this week. It came down to this: would I rather Jordan compete with Russell or Kevin. I would want her competing with the guy who hasn't won anything yet than the guy who has.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
We see Biff in the 80. He washes the trucks at the end of the first movie. Griff must have been a distant relative, living in Montana
Jamie (New Jersey)
Brendan, I'm not crazy. JEFF is going out next week. Not michele
Nate (Madison)
Chaz, I'm allergic to poultry so I tend to skip the subject.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I can't wait to see what happens when Jeff realizes that all that stuff about Russell was lies.
Brian (KY)
There was a Biff in 1985, he waxes cars.
Brian (Madison, WI)
When the chat hits the 15 year olds and condoms then we have officially hit a brick wall.
chaz (sa tx)
nate, red drum=fish
coyote (sa)
Biff IS in the 1980s... in the beginning, he was still a bully to George. After they changed the timeline, he was washing the McFly's cars.
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: General Tso's Chicken, White Rice, Crab Rangoon
Brian (Madison, WI)
Lunch: Panera, for free!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Nate (Madison)
But the Biff in the 1980's is the same one from the 50's, just older. I was talking about one in high school, like his son.
Steve (NJ)
Griff is Biff's grandson, you nitwit. He calls him 'gramps' in the movie.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wait, I thought Griff was the teenage punk in 2015? So in 1985, he hasn't been born yet.
Mike Golic (ESPN)
Lunch: POT ROAST!!!
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Lunch: seafood salad, unsweet tea
Jordan (Casper, Wyoming)
Lunch: 20 Hot Wings and Mozzerela Sticks
Ruckus (via mobile)
Lunch = red drum fish
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Lunch: chicken, fries, veggies and a soda
Spelling Police (On Patrol)
Pull it over, Jordan. Mozzarella. Here's your ticket. Be careful out there.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Lunch: Beef and Pork Stew, mixed with left over Meatloaf (Stewloaf) with a side of celery, carrots, and ranch
SNTV Chat (ESPN)
Lunch: Nothing, I don't need to eat. I am dead.
Steve (NJ)
sushi maybe...i dunno.
Dave (vt)
Anyone else not a huge fan of Back to the Future?
John MAdden (RV)
TURDUCKEN!!!!!
Trevor (Texas)
I think you are saying we are have a missing link between Biff and Griff. We never see Biff's son in the film, due to the fact that he wasn't important to the storyline.
Matt (IN)
Lunch = a trip to Home Depot to pick up some new A/C filters. Plenty of fast food places nearby, so will probably stop there.
Sean (Philly)
Nice, it is Wednesday, and I have an errand to run...that means it is Whopper Wednesday for me.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Lunch: A quarter pound hot dog and large diet soda from Sam's Club. Gotta run some errands and for the price, they do a nice job.
Miracle Max (Hut)
No, it's only MOSTLY dead.
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
To blave means to bluff.
Brett Favre (MN)
Lunch: More talk about Brett Favre
Doc Brown (1985)
Because in the 1980's after Marty comes back to the future, the original Biff is there, but he washes cars, so his son is a loser and his scene was cut from post editing. There is also a Biff character in the 3rd installment called Bufford Tannen. Good question
Miracle Max (Hut)
Have fun storming the castle!
stephanie (cincy)
You guys are boys, he is a boy. Perfect place to ask for advice
Drew (Buffalo)
Lunch: Turkey club, chips, a soda
Biff Tannen (Hill Valley California)
Make like a tree, and leave!
Steve (NJ)
I'm having an MLT for lunch, where the mutton is nice and lean...
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Wait, today is WINGSDAY AT HOOTERS!!!
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
Lunch: People without lives
JB (TX)
Lunch: something light. Bigger BTF plot hole: how does Old Biff fly the Delorean back to 2015 after he gives himself the Sports Almanac and drop it off for Doc and Marty? Wouldn't that 2015 then be based off of the messed up 1985 that Doc and Marty returned to? I'm just sayin...
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Happy hump day. Bye y'all
Trevor (Texas)
Lunch, possibly Subway.
Steve (NJ)
Just an FYI - tomorrow is a special day: it is Robert (Raleigh) and my birthday. Please, send checks. Or, shivs, if it's to Robert.
Clay (Charlotte)
I think you might want to have a conversation about using it before you just throw it in his dresser.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
Buzz, I've thrown 2 well-deserved flags today and you have ignored them. I cannot let you hold me down any longer. We have a personal foul against Dave from Vermont for not being a big fan of Back to the Future. Hit the showers Dave. 15 yards and repeat 2nd down.
Scott (Brewtown)
I'm back. These little newbies crack me up. 9:30 in the morning and they look like they haven't woken up yet. I have to talk investments with them and you could watch their eyes start to twitch, lips quiver
Nate (Madison)
Lunch: ??? Haven't thought that far ahead yet.
Wesley (Cliffs of Insanity)
Well, no one would surrender to the Dred Pirate Wesley.
Jamie (New Jersey)
Only 4 mins left in chat. Was fun lol. my first chat
Charlie Brown (N/A)
Good grief
Trevor (Texas)
Once Biff gets back to 2015, you see him grab his heart and fall out of the DeLorean...this indicates Biff's death prior to 2015.
Doc Brown (1985)
JB you are way off, Biff steals the Delorean in 1985 while and goes back to 1955 to give himself the almanac. The 2015 never comes into play with Biffs theft. They are only in 2015 for like 30 mins of the second movie.
coyote (sa)
JB, it was. Biff was just an old man. Then when he gave himself the almanac, he ran the town.
Knights of Ni (Woods)
If you want to pass, we require a Shrubbery...
Tom (River North)
Why does Biff have to have a son in order for Griff to exist? What if he had a daughter who is Griff's mom?
Jordan (Peoria)
You have fallen for one of the classic blunders. The first is never get in a land war in Asia. The second and only slghtly less well know, is never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
Fake Buzz (Bristol)
Lunch: Whatever task the executives make me do today.
Trevor (Texas)
According to producers of BTTF, they had a scene planned where Loraine shoots Biff after she finds out Biff killed George. But they thought it would be too violent.
Nate (Madison)
Look what I started (looking at the mess of BTF talk), love it.
Jonathan (Madison)
Lunch: Culvers Butter Burger Deluxe with Rootbeer and Onion Rings
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Steph, I wouldn't just throw them in the dresser. Have a sit-down with the kid, and tell him to be safe.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
So much for chat, goodbye everybody!!!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Nice Hump Day chat, all. I'm gearing up to chat with BEAN Cook, which is how it is listed, at 3:30 PM. He's entertaining. Until tomorrow, be safe, have some fun, and to those in the MB FFL get your draft rankings in order. Later.
Fezzik (Princess Bride)
I'm on the brute squad!
Jamie (New Jersey)
alrite. thanks for the chat ESPN! see you tomorrow.
Brian (Madison, WI)
3 down, 2 to go.
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
Thanks for stopping by everyone. We'll be back again tomorrow morning. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright, folks, stay classy, and enjoy the rest of your day!
MIKE (RICHMOND)
We need a BTF re-make, the 2010 edition!!!!
Brian (KY)
In a deleted scene on the dvd Biff fades away when he returns to 2015, producers saying something about Marty's mom possibly killing him.
Shaq (Cleveland)
I am going to challenge Buzz at online chatting in my new reality show.
Brendan Murtagh (Louisville, KY)
BYE BYE
Nate (Madison)
Everyone have a good day! Vick, I'll toast one to you tonight.
Miracle Max (Hut)
You ARE the brute squad!
Steve (NJ)
Peace, love, and chicken grease, ya'll
