  (10:00 AM)

Goooooooood morning!

Marc (Charlotte)

Happy Monday SN.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Congratulations Ross, because Chandler, you?ve been Bamboozled!

Rich Rod (Michigan)

Players who can't practice more than 8 hours a week or spend more than 20 hours a week studying the game of futbol need to get lives.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Hey, hey, hey! It's Fat Buzzard!

Christian (High Point, NC)

I would like to take a moment to express condolences to Robert (Raleigh, NC) and his family on the death of his father.

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

I was just about to say the same thing. I was on the Facebook page this morning and saw that. Big Rob, if you're reading the transcripts, sorry to hear about your dad. Turrible news.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good morning Buzz Nation. I am the original J.B. Accept no other J.B. substitutes. So, how many Rich Rod posts are you estimating this morning, Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

1.8........millions.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Laterz August.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Good morning everyone!

Spelling Police (On Patrol)

Rich Rod, I know its been a tough week, but I've got to ticket you for the incorrect spelling of football.

Incredible Hulk (Disney World)

Marvel Comics and Disney together at least. Hulk Happy. Hulk eat Buzz lunch!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Agreed, Christian. I know what it's like to lose a parent after a long time of suffering. Condolences, Robert.

Bob (Lowell)

Happy Monday. Won't be able to say that here next Monday, but next Monday it will be true.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Really busy chat lineup today. I don't know if I will have enough time.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

That's what happens when people decide to tell me Monday morning that they won't be chatting. Or Sunday night, but don't they know that I don't work on the weekends?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Saw Inglourious Basterds over the weekend. Pretty good stuff. If you like Tarantino's movies, you won't be disappointed.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I don't do Facebook so I was unaware of the passing of Robert's dad. My condolences also go out to him and his family. Thanks for posting that today, Christian.

Cory (PA)

Enough time to what Jason, not work?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Jason: Monday is always a slow chat day. We pace ourselves here.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

-300 MB is late.

Cory (PA)

Cue "Buzz is late" comments in 3...2...

Buzzmaster

  (10:04 AM)

You guys are all wrong....not to mention antsy to get things started on a Monday.

Marc (Big D)

Well, it looks like I should have flown this weekend. Blew out a tire 45 minutes into the drive. Fun way to start the weekend.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Add me to the list of those expressing condolences. Sorry to hear about it.

Matt (IN)

Good morning everyone. Change is in the air around here. They are announcing all of the changes here at the company today. I am now in middle management. Go me. I will now be making $20,001.

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Wow. In today's economy, I figured you would have gotten a promotion, but expected to take a pay cut.

Jack (NB Canada)

Greetings from the land of 3 down football.

JB (TX)

Thin chat sched today Buzz? I know you're not used to hearing the word thin, mainly because you're fat.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Tell you what Buzz. I'll host a chat today if it will help...which it won't.

Don (San Francisco)

Buzz, do you think anyone will go for the longest chat record anytime soon?

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

Seeing how it's 13 hours and Matthew Berry was going partly blind at the end of his last session, I'd say not. But crazier things have happened.

Jack (NB Canada)

Condolences, Robert.

Matt (IN)

Yes, that is turribull news about Robert's father.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

So now, Matt gets to tell people to put the cover sheet on their TPS reports.

Anthony (Nj)

morning all. monday..

Greg (Ellicott CIty)

No wonder no one likes Jack.

Nate (Madison)

I have a case of the Mondays

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, why don't you go for the longest chat record. It could be a marathon MB.

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Cuz I got things to do tonight. Today's the ESPN Picnic, where ESPN rents out a local amusement park for employee appreciation. Free food and rides for everyone!

Drew (Buffalo)

can you imagine a 13 hour MB? ....................

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

New poll just put out in the MB FFL. For those participating, please check it out. Back to our scheduled chat.

tom* (parkville, md)

Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! It's already one of those morings.

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

What? Are you killing spiders over there?

Christian (High Point, NC)

I know I'm always the first person criticizing others for putting too much importance in preseason results, but damn the Packers looked scary against the defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

We have a company out waterproofing our basement today. That's right, a lawyer hired a contractor. It's like a meeting in hell.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

That's probably the first time the words "buzz" and "marathon" were ever used in the same sentence.

Marc (Charlotte)

Nate, is "case of the Mondays" code for case of beer?

Brandon (Albany)

If he went for the record it couldn't be morning buzz because it would last longer than the morning

Matt (IN)

I don't think Buzz could handle a marathon chat. He could only handle so much pulse.

Ryan (San Diego)

Buzz is going to be the one to puke on the roller coaster after he stuffs his face in line with corn dogs and cotton candy

Aaron Prince (Springfield, MO)

Hello Morning Buzz

Godish (Chicago)

Do they just let you eat from a trough, Buzz?

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz Free Food = Turrible

Brandon (Albany)

And now the truth comes out why there are no chats....everyone at ESPN is goin on the flying swings and eatting friend dough today

Anthony (NY)

Good morning Buzz, how was your weekend.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Good. Watched LadyBuzz play on her kickball team. They lost 10-2, but LadyBuzz was 1-1 with a single.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

A 13-hour MB? That would have some pretty craptacular stuff in it. It wouldn't be ONB, it'd just be part of the show.

Matt (IN)

Do any of you live in states that allow Sunday alcohol sales from liquor stores, grocery stores, etc? Apparently the movement to lift the Sunday ban here in Indiana is gaining steam.

Christian (High Point, NC)

It could be the Morning Buzz Marathon Chat if he did it on a plane that circled the earth one time zone every hour, thus ensuring it was always morning.

Don (San Francisco)

Ryan: It's okay, since no one will be sitting next to Buzz... cause he's fat.

Carnies (Bristol, CT)

Man, we better re-inforce all these rides if that Buzz guy is showing up to the picnic this year. You know, because he's fat.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, they raised the tax on alcohol in North Carolina today. Quite disappointing.

Nate (Madison)

My roommate and I went around to some of our old stomping grounds from back when we were undergrads, pretty fun. Got all the bar specialty drinks like fishbowls from this place, long islands from this place, etc......don't exactly remember the cab ride home, but we got home and that's all that matters.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Dan: I would think 'Buzz,' 'marathon,' and 'eating,' have all been used in the same sentence at some point.

Nate (Madison)

I agree Christian, they looked sick.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

They have an amusement park in Bristol?

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

Yup. A small one, but there is one. And there's a clock museum.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Late again, so sorry.

Marc (Big D)

Buzz, is she in 4th grade?

Cory (PA)

The dude at the funnel cake stand better take cover when Buzz comes shambling up. You know, cuz Buzz is fat.

Marc (Charlotte)

1 at kick? What's up with that Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

19 people on the team and only 5 innings.

Ryan (San Diego)

Kickball teams? They actually have those?

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Yup. WAKA. PlayKickball.com. I think that's it.

LadyBuzz (CT)

Will you at least wear a bib when you eat today, honey?

Anthony (NY)

Kickball teams are awesome.

Nate (Madison)

Matt, they sell everyday here. (at grocery stores, liquor stores, gas stations, etc)

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

LadyBuzz is on an organized kickball team? Do they have animal crackers and juice boxes after the games?

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Nope. Beer and burgers.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

In NC you can buy after 12pm on Sunday but the liqour stores are closed.

Nate (Madison)

There are kickball rec leagues here, run by the city like softball/etc.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

The clock museum: A great place to kill some time.

Marc (Charlotte)

19 people? Are there 7 outfielders?

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

11 play in the field, but everyone kicks.

Jack (NB Canada)

AM I too old to date a girl that wasn't born when I started University?

Greg (Ellicott City)

Relax Buzz, I'm here.

Brandon (Albany)

Has anyone ever thought that kickball in theory would be fun but when you actually play it....its not that good

Aaron Prince (Springfield, MO)

Oh bad form, JB. Bad form.

JB (TX)

I must say funnel cakes are awesome. If they sold them at places other than carnivals and state fairs I'd probably be as fat as Buzz. Well, probably not, but you see my point.

Cory (PA)

When she gonna step up to the big leagues and join a 4-Square tournament?

Old Lady (Hill Valley)

Save the clock tower! Save the clock tower! 30 years ago lightning struck the tower and clock hasn't run since.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

8 DH! or DK, I'm not sure, now you're talking

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

It's awful to be late. Nothing makes any sense. That's not unusual though.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Remember the formula, Jack: Your age divided by 2, then add 7. If she's younger than that, forget it.

Drew (Buffalo)

Yuo can buy alcohol after 8am here on Sundays. Also, bars are open until 4am, everyday.

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

Wait...so your bar in Buffalo is open until 4 a.m.?

Bob (Lowell)

If you're 30 and she is 10, then you're too old.

Aaron Prince (Springfield, MO)

Kickball is actually a lot of fun. Granted, the last time I played it, I was in 7th grade.

Ryan (San Diego)

Is there a fence for homers? Or just if it goes over people's heads they run until they can get the ball?

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

Yup. Kick and run.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

kind of ironic with all the back to the future talk last week, but my brother in law bought a delorean over the weekend.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Kickball teams are old news. Alcohol fueled tricycle racing is the wave of the future.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

J.B., I've got to flag you for that improper use of a pun. 5 yards, repeat 2nd down.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

So is the clock museum a HANDS ON experience, Buzz?

Nate (Madison)

Kegball. You have a keg on second base, can't advance to third or beyond until you finish your beer and refill it. You also have to have the beer in your hand the entire time in the field or on the bases. Pretty fun.

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

Not surprised.

Jack (NB Canada)

When she told me she graduated High School in 2003 it kinda hit home I am old.

Marc (Charlotte)

I was waiting for someone to state the formula. Always good to know the rule allows me to date someone who can't legally drink for 2 years.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

I can't wait for Tim Hudson's debut tomorrow!!!

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Did anyone see the 9 year old kid fleeing police in a high speed car chase? Crazy!

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

Is that the one where he gets home, jumps out of the car and runs away? Didn't that happen like a month ago?

Cory (PA)

Jack, didn't I see you on one of those Dateline stings?

Pete (NC)

Yeah yeah I'm late...so have we talked about Tiger's choke job yet?

Ryan (San Diego)

Nate that is also the same as Sloshball

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Graduated from HS in 2003, so she's 24, and she wasn't even born when you started college? And I'm the old man?

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Congrats to Chula Vista and that man child that plays for them.

Nate (Madison)

I try to keep a four year radius in both directions, so 23-31 range. Those are not written in stone but what I generally look at.

The distant past (via mobile)

Robbi, do they deliver your news by carrier pigeon?

Bob (Lowell)

No Buzz. This is a new one. Kid ended up in a ditch.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Actually I like kickball. We tried to organize a youth league a few years back but couldn't get a steady place to play plus there would be insurance issues to deal with.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

I like playing Beer Pong better, less running.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

Apparently LadyBuzz's kickball league is sponsored by a local bar. It gives discounts for the teams Sunday's after games. And they have flip cup tournaments.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Remember that the formula is about creepiness, not necessarily good advice. Just because it's not exactly creepy for a 24 year old to date a 19 year old doesn't mean it's a good idea either.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Under the formula i am allowed have any girl thats at least 22. My girlfriend is 24 so it might be time to trade in for a newer model.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Poor Ed Hochuli in the Bears vs Broncos game last night. He was trying so hard not to mess up that he actually messed up a could of times.

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

He didn't mess up, he just had to correct himself.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz do they have a rule about pegging people above the shoulders with the kickball in LadyBuzz's league?

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

Yup. It's allowed. Saw a couple of people get pegged.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Flip cup tournaments? Now you're bringing back memories. I knew a couple of guys who were so good at it, they'd do it with their eyes shut and still whip about anybody they played.

Ryan (San Diego)

Buzz, you ever played flip cup? That will get you messed up in a hurry

Matt (IN)

I used to play for a softball team sponsored by a bar. Always good for a few free drinks. Those were good times.

Brandon (Albany)

Sounds like LadyBuzz has a sweet deal with this kickball team....why are u not playin buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

She's playing with her work friends. Letting the ladies have their fun.

jake (philly)

im a little confused. is there a point to this chat?

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

No. And welcome. Looks like you're already in the right state of mind.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh that's nasty. Reconstructive surgery due to getting pegged with a kickball would not be fun.

Jack (NB Canada)

She told me I am not too old for her and it doesn't hurt that she is smoking hot. So I remember the Moon landing on TV and Reggie Jackson as an A, who cares....

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

That's illegal use of the hands against Steve for trying to claim that the Chat Ref screwed up. 10 yards and it is now 2nd down.

Aaron Prince (Springfield, MO)

With the injury to Kyle Orton, I think this season has just become an ultimate nightmare for Josh McDaniels. Is it inevitable that McDaniels is fired at the end of the season?

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

Why?

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Of course there is a point! The problem is, we never know it until the chat is over

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Can you strikeout at kickball? If so I imagine its hilarious.

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

Yes. Four fouls is a strikeout. Or three strikes. There is a plate and strikes. But I didn't see anyone strike out or whiff on the ball.

The rest of us (not old like Jack)

Who the hell is Reggie Jackson?

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

You should be allowed to put stuff like 08 kickball league mvp or flip cup master on your resume.

Jack (NB Canada)

Pop-tarts, Schwinns, dating formulas, Matt Damon, those are the points to this chat...

tom* (parkville, md)

There is no point to this chat. The people of this chat are not allowed near pointy things.

Brandon (Albany)

Buzz you should say you r the team mascot so you can get the deals at the bar that is sponsoring

David (Banning)

ONB me Buzz!

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, how about a little weekend ONB?

Buzzmaster

  (10:23 AM)

Let's do it...

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Holler 3 day weekend coming up!

Phil Laak (Las Vegas)

I have what I think is a great analogy. Boxing is like texas hold'em and MMA is like Omaha Hi Lo.

Marty Retsamzzub (Butte Montana)

I have to say that the Pork Chop Sandwich perpared locally is the premier lunch option of any Monday during the season of fall.

Michael (Fresno, CA)

Hey Dana I have a personal question for you

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People that claim Michigan has violations need to get lives.

Page Six (NY, NY)

. . . MATT Lauer and his son, Jack, dapper like his dad with his polo shirt collar popped up, getting smiles at the front table at Elio's . . .

Clay (Charlotte)

It's dark and smells, wow the ONB sucks. Tom can I sue for reckless endangerment due to unsafe working conditions here? Buzz, watch your @$$ I'm coming for you're money...err, Matt's money.

charlie (Denver,CO)

Do you think Adrian Peterson will live up to his fantasy expectations

Megan Saylor (Townsville, Australia)

I'm hoping that someone will receive this and be able to help me. I am an Ohio State born and raised girl, who is studying abroad for a semester in Townsville, Australia. I have watched every Ohio State football game since I can remember, and I am desperately trying to find a way to watch the games while overseas. If ANYONE could let me know if this is even possible I will be eternally grateful to you.

Shane White (Indianapolis)

Is Michael Vick going to make an impact on the eagles this season?

tony (kent, ct)

Why do all the sports networks and magazines ignore rowing, specifically college rowing? I have to laugh when I see football referred to as the "ultimate team sport" when you can win big with a few very good players. Crew demands that everyone work together perfectly, but it goes unrecognized. Any idea why?

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

And that's it.....

jake (philly)

so who is buzzmaster? are you just someone who works at espn or is this your actualy job?

Christian (High Point, NC)

I know who Reggie Jackson is. He's the straw that stirs the drink.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

That was the summer of Sam.....

Charlie Brown (Street)

I whiff on the ball all the time

Marc (Big D)

The Morning Buzz: Where Kickball Analysis Happens

Nate (Madison)

Smoking hot? Another hot Canadian? That's it, I'm moving.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I believe that was the first reference to rowing ever in the ONB.

stephanie (cincy)

"Letting" Lady Buzz have some fun? She doesn't seem like the type of woman to ask permission. You may be a tyrant here, but at home , I doubt it

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

Easy there...I said I wasn't playing because I didn't want to butt in on her time with her friends.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Because crew is about as boring as watching paint dry. This has been another episode of simple answers to stupid questions.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

What does the sculls captain say? ROW ROW ROW your boat...

Pete (NC)

Wait, did a girl just leave a message in the ONB asking for our help? That's just a recipe for disaster.

tom* (parkville, md)

Megan, I sure American sports news travels slowly to Down Under. The truth is Ohio State has disbanded and all of their fans are now rooting for Michigan State. Welcome to the Spartan bandwagon!

Marc (Big D)

Is that the first rowing related question in the history of the MB? We may have just witnessed history people.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Geez I had to leave for a minute and I come back to the ONB..

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I know Simmons mentioned it on his Twitter feed, but there is a really good article in the current issue of Rolling Stone about the breakup of the Beatles. A must-read if you're a Beatles fan.

Christian (High Point, NC)

J.B.: Nah, I'm sure I've mentioned the October Regatta on the Charles in Boston before.

Bob (Lowell)

Then why show up at all?

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

To take pictures to put up on Facebook, of course.

the mets (flushing)

hey everybody why does my team suck so bad?

Matt (IN)

Reggie Jackson? Isn't that the guy on the candy bar?

Marc (Charlotte)

Clinton, if the formula leaves an age of 19.5, is 19 included or does it round to 20?

TMB Fact #115 (ESPN)

Wisconsin is in fact part of Canada.

Matt Damon (BuzzMansion)

Buzz, we appreciate you not butting in. Also, you're fat.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

So do the kickball pitchers try to make the ball bounce in or do they put funky spins on it or anything, Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

Yeah, the other team was super serious about it. They were trying to whip it in with lots of bounces and spin. They were like that guy that wears real baseball pants, belt, cleats, stirrups and has a Nomar routine in the batter's box during slow pitch softball.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Pitcher who bounced the ball in kickball were lifted in the first inning.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Buzz doesnt play because he didnt want to butt in on her friend time and running three feet leaves him winded for hours.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Speaking of Matt Damon, has anyone else seen the previews for his new movie? Actually looks pretty funny.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Hey Matt Damon, can't wait to see your new movie "The Informant"

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Reggie Jackson is the guy who played the killer is Naked Gun

Richard Gere (via mobile)

I am 60 today. 60! Thank god for modern medicine...and gerbils.

Brandon (Albany)

I have just recently started joining in at the morning buzz and i was hoping someone could enlighten me on why matt damon lives with buzz and ladybuzz and the buzz mansion?

Don (San Francisco)

Do you need to bring a ringer in Buzz? Use your ESPN connections - I think Julie Foudy could probably still bring it.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

I don't leave the house without stirrups

stephanie (cincy)

I am going to NJ on labor day to see the "other" team from the fine state of Ohio play Rutgers. I hear they have a sweet new stadium for the Beatcats to kick their butts in.

Jack (NB Canada)

I remember when The Beatles were together.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Sloan from Entourage is from Canada.

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

The only Sloan I like is Peterson from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Pete (NC)

Mrs. Doubtfire could kick a mean ball.

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

Isn't Robin Williams Canadian?

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

No, he was from Chicago....who the heck am I thinking of?

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

Some really good comedian from the same era was from Canada.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good call on Sloan Peterson.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Is Canada a day before or a day after us?

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Blame Canada! Blame Canada!

Pete (NC)

So my 2 year anniversary is tomorrow. What should I get my wife? Is there a customary 2nd anniversary gift?

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

I think the Ferris Bueller Slaone writes her name with a "e"

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Buzz, at your weight, you should take what you can get.

Don (San Francisco)

Pete: A picture of a cell phone.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Buzz, that's a 5 yard penalty for incorrect use of a nationality. Repeat 1st down.

Marc (Big D)

Mike Myers?

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Norm McDonald is canadian

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Jim Carrey is Canadian as was John Candy.

Chris Berman (ESPN)

We've formed a kickball team here at the Worldwide Leader. Check out our team waterboy Buzz rumblin bumblin stumblin trying to get Stuart Scott his water...

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Dammit, I'm going to the penalty box, I made a spelling mistake in a post where I was correcting somebody else

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Just remembering your 2nd anniversary is enough

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

Just remembering you're married is enough. It's more than Rick Pitino can do.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Dan Aykroyd is canadian

jake (philly)

why is everyone calling you fat? how do they now what you look like?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I must say this kickball chat has intrigued me thus far. I wish we had a kickball league for adults in our area now.

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

Google WAKA - World Adult Kickball Association.

Marc (Big D)

Jake, it isn't that we know what he feels like. We can just feel the small gravitational pull he gives off.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

jake, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Pete (NC)

oooooooooh snap Buzz

Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)

When Rickey was in Little League, Rickey was still the greatest of all time.

Greg (Ellicott City)

We know Buzz is fat because Matt Damon told us.

Fozzie Bear (Hollywood)

I'm a big fan of WAKA WAKA WAKA!

Marc (Big D)

Oops looks like. I meant looks like.

Cory (PA)

Don't google WAKA WAKA WAKA though or you'll just end up with a Fozzi/Kermit slashfic

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

WAKA is actually a subdivision of the NADA I would think. I mean they use the same type of ball and everything.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

There's a national WAKA tournament in Vegas every year. In a related thought, I'm trying to get LadyBuzz's team more serious about their league.

Ty Webb (Bushwood)

Be the ball, Buzz.

Pete (NC)

Some more notable Canadian comedians: Tom Green, Seth Rogen, Leslie Nielsen, Norm McDonald, Eugene Levy, and Phil Hartman.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

Not sure Tom Green should be listed with the others.

Matt (IN)

Booo Tom Green. Not funny.

Jack (NB Canada)

Any Skunk siteings Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

Nope. Last I heard the skunk at LadyBuzz's parents house passed away.

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

Or, rather...the problem was "taken care of."

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

I had a friend pull his hammy playing kickball, he is athletic as a veal chop.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'd want to be a kickball pitcher. I was a slow pitch softball pitcher and a bowler for a number of years. I think the skill sets could work for kickball.

Cory (PA)

Y'know, after reading the Page 2 article about disc golf the other week I had a serious urge to try it that lasted almost 3 hours.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

"taken care of" = shot

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Martin Short also Canadian.

Ryan (San Diego)

Kickball tournament in Vegas huh? Sounds like a hungover good time

Jack (NB Canada)

Lorne Michaels is also Canadian.

Spelling Police (On Patrol)

Jack, I know you are Canadian, but you still can't spell "sightings" in the manner you did.

Marc (Big D)

In the name of full disclosure, I struck out during a wiffleball game last year. Probably my all-time low.

Jeremy (Boston)

Congrats to the CA Little League Team....including the couple of High Schoolers they had on the team. Boy were they big.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Is winning a Little League World Series that big of a deal to some people that they have to doctor birth certificates? It's not like they're getting paid or anything. I've never understood that.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

All this Canadian comedian talk and no mention of The Kids in the Hall? For shame!

Cory (PA)

Michael J. Fox is Canadian, also he makes a mean Martini, Bond approved.

Marc (Charlotte)

I'm sure Congress will be opening up an inquiry into the ages of LLWS competitors.

Jack (NB Canada)

The best hockey players coincidentally also are from Canada and not very funny. Gretzky, Mario, Sid the Kid.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

I once kicked a line drive in kickball when I was younger and knocked out the 3rd baseman. He caught it with his face.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, does LadyBuzz's team have uniforms?

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

They get T-shirts. Her team is light blue.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Danny Almonte is still playing little league baseball.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Marc, that's where the term "whiff" originated.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

The clean up hitter for CA was 6'2 210... He is my height and has got me by 20 lbs. I was impressed, and a little intimidated by a 12 year old.

Joe (NC)

Skip, you have got to be kidding. Tiger Woods' stroke has not become quick and jabby. Losing his killer instinct huh? Because he was 8 shots back with 36 holes to play and loses by one he has lost it? That's a joke and you know it. You guys need to leave the golf talk to the golf channel where people who play golf and know golf also know how to talk about golf. You guys' amateur attempt at talking about Tiger and golf is pathetic.

Marc (Charlotte)

Light Blue, like the Tar Heels. Good choice.

Ryan (San Diego)

They had that one big guy, the rest were average size. They just raked...the one who was their best hitter was like 5'5

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Channeling Buzz: I'm not sure Sid the Kid should be on that list.

Matt Damon (via mobile)

Light blue is my favorite color.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

*facepalm* Joe, First Take is that way --->

Hawk Harrelson (Chicago)

Gas... Marc's gone.

Jeremy (Boston)

No way he is 12.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Do they wear 70s style tube socks Buzz, that would be hot.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

No, but the other team had on knee highs (soccer socks?) and were calling time out before kickers came to the plate to discuss strategy. WAAAAAY too serious for kickball.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Apparently Dave didn't think that the "how young of a girl can we date" chat was creepy enough.

Clay (Charlotte) [via mobile]

Good morning SN, I'm in field this week. You should feel safe knowing that people building office buildings check in to TMB while working.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

We have multiple infractions on Joe (NC). First, this isn't the First Take Chat. That's 15 yards. We also have an excessive post lenght. Another 15 yards. Still 3rd down.

JB (TX)

Fact: I wasn't 5'5" till I was a sophomore in HS.

Ryan (San Diego)

The guy who is 6'2 will be a future padre or charger

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

Or done with sports when he turns 16 and stops growing and everyone else passes him by.

JB (TX)

I grew up w/a kid like that. He was like 6'3" 210 when we were 12 and dominated every sport. We thought he'd go on to be some NFL or NBA superstar, didn't even play college ball anywhere.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

I know we don't talk sports here, but I just thought I would mention the great sports weekend for me. Broncos lose to Cutler, Rockies blow their 3 game wild card lead in 3 games....pulse...

Anthony (NY)

I was 6 feet in my freshman year... was never good at basketball though

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

That's a bit serious. Maybe next time they'll fire the coach if the team is not performing well

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

According to Ryan, this LLWS will be the 6'2" guys last championship.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Some kids just grow up faster than others. I was 5'9" when I was 12, and only grew three more inches. He might be done growing for all we know.

Ryan (San Diego)

Yea, or that Buzz

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Not too serious if they plan on going to Vegas though, Buzz.

Pete (NC)

Fact: length will now be spelled lenght in the MB.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Right. I went from playing Center to Point Guard between my sophomore and junior years of HS.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Fact: I was 4'10 as a sophmore in HS. Grew to 5'7 by my senior year.

Fake Buzz (here)

Yeah I thought I was going to stop growing too, but my waist keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

I was the shortest kid on my HS baseball team, I got walked a lot.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

My friend's son is 12, he's 6'1 and weighs 210 and doesn't like sports.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Fact: Buzz was a size 30 in HS. He is now a size 52.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

size 52? With or without the Twinkies?

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

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

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Lunch: I woke up late, so I'm gonna grab a burger at a local place

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I grew 9 inches in high school, too. Thankfully, I started at 5'3", not 4'10".

stephanie (cincy)

5'8" at 12. All the boys were shorter than me and never asked me to dance.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

I was 6 foot in 8th grade, only grew 2 more inches.

Anthony (Nj)

lunch: free food..

Christian (High Point, NC)

Lunch: Food.

JB (TX)

There was another kid in my middle school so big that they didn't have football pants to fit him, they had to get a pair from the Oilers. This kid was built more like Buzz, though. Meaning he was fat.

Anthony (NY)

Lunch: burger with fries from deli and sour patch straws

Ryan (San Diego)

5'8 at 12? that's tall for a woman even at 30...damn

Marc (Big D)

Lunch: $5 footlong. Turkey methinks.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

My Dad is 5'6" and my Mom was 5'1". I consider it a minor miracle I hit 6'0".

fred (omaha)

hi stephanie i like tall girls, dont stab me though

Tom's Dad (West Bloomfield, MI)

Oh no, he's finally figured it out. I still hate that mailman...

Greg (Ellicott City)

Tom, Ive got news for you. Your 'dad' isnt your dad.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Im going to try to sbring the bow tie back

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Next week around this time, while tailgating the FSU/UM game I will be doing keg stands, eating hot dogs, puking and rallying. Go Noles.

JB (TX)

Lunch: Maybe Popeyes. I dated a girl who was 5'10" (I'm also that height) it was weird at first but I got over it pretty quickly. You do get a lot of looks, though.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Chat list looks pretty empty today, Buzz. Were you eating pop tarts all weekend or does nobody want to work today?

Buzzmaster

  (10:57 AM)

See comment earlier in this chat about people liking to cancel Monday morning.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

My dad's 6'1, mom's 5'1. My little bro is 6'2, older bro is 6'0, older sis is 5'10, younger sis 5'9........I got shafted on the height, but blessed with the better looks.

Jeremy (Boston)

I had a friend that would hit on all the tall girls in a bar. Just cause they never got hit on, he thought the route was easier....

Cory (PA)

Good sluck Johnstone

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

In 8th grade we had a kid on our basketball team that was 6'10, but weighed about 90 pounds.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Well it's the end of the month and I have a few things to get done. Great chat today all. Tomorrow maybe we can talk some other playground sports that adults still play. Tetherball anyone? Have a great day and catch you all back here tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of today's chats, well what there are of them. Later.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

See Buzz is lazy.

stephanie (cincy)

I LOVE being tall

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Steve, you played basketball with Shawn Bradley?

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

That's a personal foul for taunting against SteveFitz. We don't tolerate that kind of stuff, especially when there is no evidence that it is true. Hit the showers. 15 yards and repeat 2nd down.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Alright, folks, stay classy and have a good rest of your Monday!

Greg (Ellicott City)

Not Bradley, Manut Bol

Pete (NC)

Hopefully this ends the "let's talk about how tall we are and about all tall people we know" portion of the chat.

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

All right everyone. Thanks for stopping by. Keep checking the chat schedule this afternoon to get some updates. We'll be filling the empty slots out. Until tomorrow, stay classy SportsNation!

Pete (NC)

Lunch: turkey, ham, and provolone on wheat with a pickle.

Jack (NB Canada)

I am a 185 cm tall.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Ok, our next chat will take place in 3 hours because Buzz is lazy.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Everyone have a good day. Bye y'all.

Cory (PA)

Happy September everybody.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Have a good weekend Buzz, if it still itches tomorrow, go in for a check up.

Kyle Orton (Denver)

Lunch: I can't eat, my cut finger hurts too much.

Drew (Buffalo)

Have a good day all

Greg (Ellicott City)

Stay classy Buzz.
