  (10:00 AM)

Gooooooooooood morning!

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

It's HUMP Day! Halfway to a well-deserved 3 day weekend. Good morning everybody!!

Marc (Big D)

Hello Buzzmaster, if that is your real name.

Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

Last time I checked, yes.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

What happened to the mystique of Notre Dame? All that's left are ghosts of the 4 Horsemen and Weis should be praying to Touchdown Jesus to keep his job.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Notre Dame, Dave? Really? That's a First Take area --->

Rubio (Europe)

It's too risky for me to chat here ... I need to go to the Pulse chat

Greg (Ellicott City)

Good morning Buzz. Can we be friends again?

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

If you promise to stop being Mr. Negativity.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! Let's get going.

Bob (Lowell)

Hey Buzz, did someone steal your "O" key? This is the second week in a row you've had a chat lined up with Bean Cook.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Fixed. Maybe I have poptart crumbs stuck underneath it.

Ben (NC)

I wouldn't work 2 years for free. So I'm not going to blame Rubio for not wanting to do it either.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Buzz, have you remebered the tool-like slogan you wanted to talk about yesterday?

Buzzmaster

  (10:04 AM)

No. The only thing that I remember is that it was really long too. Like four lines, which made it even more tool like.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Well, the apocalypse is nigh. Ohio State defended Michigan. Put all your money on the Cubs.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz is late because he cant stop eating breakfast.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

Good Afternoon. I feel like Buzz actually did some work and brought back the SN chat since it's 4 pm here.

Drew (Buffalo)

Work is Pulse. I can hardly chat here anymore...

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Why so sluggish, Buzz? Haven't had your coffee yet?

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Buenos Dias, Buzz!

Steve (NJ)

Magic number - 25.

JB (TX)

Fact: Beano Cook and Clinton went to high school together.

Tom (River North)

I was also glad to see ESPN's own "Salsa Boy" (Herbstreit) calling the Michigan allegations a witch hunt.

Brett Favre (MN)

I think I will be the first player ever to be fined in the NFL for seeing a guy run at me and ducking to take cover.

Marc (Charlotte)

Good Morning MBers.

Adam (syracuse,ny)

good morning buzz. funny thing happened last night...I was watching the Mets game when a life size bobble head of David Wright came to the plate.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I don't watch much tennis, but if I had Safina's coach he would be fired very quickly. All he does is laugh at her and shake his head in disgust and that's during a win.

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Correct. But you are an adult. She is still very young, I believe and might not see everything clearly. However, how her family can let him do that to her is another question.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

The Tim Kurkjian bobble head doll last night on BBTN was the best. The new batting helmet was bigger than him.

Steve (NJ)

I'm being temporarily moved to our Philly office. Yes, I will be commuting 2 hours, each way, every day...until I leave for my honeymoon. This wonderful development begins Tuesday. BIG happy hat, people.

Marc (Charlotte)

Is 4:00 Wednesday the new regular Russillo chat time?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Yes.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Dang, I dropped my donut in my coffee, too hot to go plumbing for it.

Marc (Charlotte)

I thought about gettin up earlyl and cooking myself breakfast this morning, but then I went back to sleep for an extra 30 minutes.

Tom (River North)

Buzz, who is this "Bennett" chatting at 4? Bennett Salvatore?

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

Brian Bennett, ESPN.com blogger. He does some good work, but has too long of name for our new set up here.

Marc (Big D)

One part of football season I hadn't realized how much I missed is the commercials. The Gameday crew puts out some good ones.

Don (San Francisco)

It looks like a full chat schedule - the ESPN staff finally got over the ESPN picnic hangover.

Ryan (San Diego)

Isn't she number 1 in the world?

John McEnroe (via mobile)

Tennis chat? YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!

Steve (NJ)

I was watching a baseball game on Saturday night on ESPN, and some kid was wearing a home-made uniform in the stands; half of it was the home team, half the away team. Two hats, too. I immediately thought to myself: this kid is related to Brian. And then I BOOOOOOOOOOOOOED him.

Dark Helmet (Spaceballs)

David Wright stole my helmet to bat last night.

Nate (Madison)

So what's on the agenda today? Back To The Future? Ok, I'm kidding.

tom* (parkville, md)

I have new problem with Yankee batters being declared out after two strikes. I really don't.

Greg (Ellicott City)

And its working.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Good morning, late again. Working is no fun.

JB (TX)

Brian Bennett can't fit, but Matt Williamson can?

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

No. "NCAA FB with Brian Bennett" can't, but "NFL with Matt Williamson" can.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

So a lot of middle aged guys here in Denmark wear a popped collared shirt. I want to go up to each of them and slap them and ask if they know a guy named Ryan from San Diego.

Steve (NJ)

Went and saw Inglorious Basterds Monday night...all I can say is, it's not worth 10 years of hype. It was a fun movie, sure...but it wasn't worth Tarantino hyping it since before making Kill Bill.

Godish (Chicago)

Move the White Sox games to Comedy Central. The heck happened to them?

Matt (IN)

Stupid phone calls. Shut up people, just shut up!

Greg (Ellicott CIty)

Thats because in tennis, coaches arent alowed to coach during a match.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

So, one of the local stations here is axing Seinfeld at 7:30 PM in favor of The Office. There is a god!

Marc (Charlotte)

Chad, do they go with the infamous "Double Polo Popped Collar" combination as well?

Matt (IN)

*banging head on desk* Leave me alone people!!!!!

Ryan (San Diego)

Girls in Denmark are hot Chad, and they appreciate fashion forward guys

Brian (Madison, WI)

ESPN Radio's Ryen Russillo? I think you can add Brian in front of Bennett.

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

Actually, that one won't work once it goes live either. Going to have to change it.

Christian (High Point, NC)

So someone needs to tell Brian Bennett to start covering the NFL

Drew (Buffalo)

Went to my local AAA team's baseball game for my fathers bday last night.... I hate baseball, but the game was pretty entertaining. 5 HRs, almost 30 hits. and saw a triple play.

Christian (High Point, NC)

If working was fun, it wouldn't be work

Cory (PA)

I want to make one thing perfectly clear: Having Wednesdays off is superior to working Wednesdays. All other things my now be as cloudy as is their wont.

Steve (NJ)

I learned the other day that my old hometown was a finalist for the premiere of the Simpson's Movie. They got a huge plaque autographed by Matt Groening on the wall in town hall.

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

Wasn't that over a year ago?

Nate (Madison)

So Hawaii is looking to outlaw B.O. on public transportation. Two thoughts, first Europe should follow suit. Second, who moniters what's too much b.o. and what's the punishment? Fine? Just kicked off?

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

My friend and I were at his nephew's birthday party yesterday at Chuck E Cheese's and he ended up getting arrested. He tackled the 6ft rat because Chuck didn't want to meet the birthday boy. That was turrible, but hilarious.

stephanie (cincy)

I am not Danish, but I do like a fashion forward guy

Steve (NJ)

'having Wednesdays off' = 'being unemployed'

Clinton (Indianapolis)

You can try to justify it all you like, Ryan, but you will never ever convince us that popping your collar is acceptable.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Seinfeld is starting to enter the stage Cheers hit in the mid to late 90's. Great show but you can only laugh at the same jokes so many times. The Office will fill in nicely on the re-run circuit soon.

Trevor (Texas)

Man, Seinfeld vs. The Office...an epic battle of sitcoms. I'd have to go with Seinfeld, even though I love both shows.

Scott (Brewtown)

I visited Denmark......Wisconsin. No hot girls there. Just a bunch of farmers

Nate (Madison)

Between skinny jeans, mohawks, mullets, popped collars, b.o., and other things....Europe did have it's downsides.

Pete (NC)

Not sure who moniters, but I'm sure a Public Transportation Monitor could do it.

Tom (River North)

The Simpsons movie came out in 2007 and you're just now finding out?

Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)

Buzz could never get Rickey's name on the chat list. There isn't enough room for Rickey The Greatest of All Time

Brian (Madison, WI)

If your B.O. makes other people sick to their stomach then you should be banished from the bus.

Scott (Brewtown)

But Nate, what if you're on B.O. Railroad?

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Can I get a translation on Cory's last sentence?

stephanie (cincy)

You know something, I have seen police cars outside Chuck E Cheese a number of times. What the heck is going on in there?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

So your friend's solution to the problem is to tackle the rat? Methinks your friend's got a short fuse.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Fact: All the properties in Monopoly are located in Atlantic City.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

My wife is 100% Danish and is very attractive. She hates the popped collar look as do her hot friends.

Pete (NC)

I pulled out the Office Season 2 DVD the other day. Soooooo much better than the new ones.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

Yeah. I do admit that show took a weird turn the last season and a half. That whole story line with Michael quitting and coming back just didn't fit right.

Nate (Madison)

Well played Scott.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

they got 4 railroads in atlantic city? seems a little much

stephanie (cincy)

The worse is being the boss and having to call in an employee to discuss their B.O. situation. It never goes well

Brian (Madison, WI)

I've had two nights in a row of fantasy football drafts with Jonathan (Madison). Let's just say my head hurts and I'm glad I'm done with those.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

Surprised you're not dead.

Steve (NJ)

How often do you go into your parents' hometown's town hall, Tom? Generally speaking, it's a rare occurrence in my life.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Fact: BJ Novak, aka Ryan from The Office, is in Inglourious Basterds.

Nate (Madison)

There was an article that was put out last year documenting how there have been mass riots and fights at Chuckie Cheese's across the nation. Usually due to some kid doing something (like cutting in line/etc) and the parents overreacting.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Thus another place where parents should be left at the door.

Marc (Charlotte)

Another, what other places are you including Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

Little League games.

Matt (IN)

Finally off of the phone. Apparently I've missed nothing...and everything.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Ever notice how many of the parents are busy playing games while their kids run wild?

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

How can anyone be angry when there is ski-ball to be played? I am pretty sure the place coudl be on fire and I wouldn't notice, you have to really concentrate to get that 100 pointer dialed in.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

Speaking of rude kids. We took our son to LegoLand, the original one, and all the kids were rude as could be cutting in line and the parents were just oblivious to their indiscressions.

Steve (NJ)

what about peewee hockey, BUzz?

stephanie (cincy)

I used to get crap whenever my son went to a B'day party at Chuck e Cheese and I would leave and come back after the party. Why do I have to stay at another kid's party? My own yes.

Paul (Ft Worth)

I coach a 14U select baseball team, and I agree with Buzz. Parents should not be allowed at games

Anthony (NY)

Buzz who do you want to win Big brother. Last Nights episode saddened me.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

I just might stop watching it now. Jeff was the only deserving player left and now it looks like he's leaving.

Spelling Police (On Patrol)

Pull it over Mike. Skee-ball. Here's your ticket.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Fact: Clinton was alive before any of the Monopoly properties actually existed.

Jeff (BB House)

I'm going home, Buzz. I think Michele is going to win it.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I used to umpire Little League, and Buzz is dead on. Some of those parents are just absolutely awful.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Sorry I'm late. I brought a note from Epstien's mother though.

Tom (River North)

Parents should be banned from all sporting events. No, little Johnny is not going to be in the NBA. Let it go.

stephanie (cincy)

Parents should be allowed at games, but the ref's reserve the right to toss them if they get out of hand.

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

The ref probably won't do that at the risk of getting assaulted himself.

Nate (Madison)

I coached a freshman basketball team and dealing with all parents was the biggest headache by far.

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

I had a friend who coached a high school JV basketball team. He had a kid that never listened, talked back and skipped a few practices without telling him. So, he kicked the kid off the team. Guess who called him and demanded they meet face to face so he could explain why their precious, never-do-wrong kid was kicked off the team? Yup, the parents.

Jordan (BB House)

Buzz, you don't think I'm deserving?

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

No. The only thing you won was because Jeff purposely lost.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, I've got a meeting at 10:30, how about a little ONB?

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

Let's do it.....

Jared Dingey (Hillsboro, Ohio)

Ohio State is just a lil bit over rated this year and i am buckeye fan myself. But i think with teral pryor that they can do good but they lost there best defensive player James. They should do alright. they wil get a bowl game but they wont go tot hte champion ship this year they wil next year

cris toebben (atlanta georgia)

i have jay cutler and phillip rivers on my fantasy football team. which one should i start and should i use the other one as trade bait

jesus cotto (miami,fl)

i smell the 27 for yankees and the mvp is going to be A.ROD cause the guy havent do that much in this season and thats now i know he will be ready for playoff.

Anthony (NY)

Looks like Colin was talkin some trash on Ashton yesterday Buzz

Keith (Evansville, In)

You guys kill me, 40 minutes into sportscenter you finally decide to talk about the cardinals. I'm done with espn. what a joke! Lets talk about boston.......

Mark Hamill (Making even weirder face)

THAT'S NOT TRUE!!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Alex Izaguirre (Harker Heights, TX)

When you guys talked about who is going to be the defensive player of the year this year in college football, y'all forgot about Sergio Kindle from Texas. He's 6'4'' and 255 lbs. And he runs a 4.5 in the 40. Basically he's a beast.

Mel Gibson (Making weird face)

GIVE MY BACK MY SON!!!

Quentin (Green Bay)

I can't believe Favre chop-blocked someone! If any other QB did that, they would be criticized for the dirty hit, but since it's Favre, he's praised for the "amazing" block. It's more disturbing and sickening then Lady Gaga.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

And that's it....

Anthony (NY)

Jordan might be noble and get everyone to vote her out now. I had Jeff and Jessie who I wanted to win :(

Nate (Madison)

One kid made it to the final cuts and we had to cut him. He wasn't horrible but wasn't good enough to beat out anyone else and we didn't have another roster spot open. While his mom comes in screaming at us the next day and we were just like, what do you want us to do? He's not good enough right now. She didn't convince us but convinced the varsity coach to let him be a manager.

Jeremy (Boston)

I was at my Nephew's little league game. He's 8. You know who were the worst. The moms. It was ridiculous. The kids are 8-10, and you'd think it was the world series.

Ben (Out side detroit)

Im a little league umpire.... you wouldnt believe what kind of crazy parents i deel with

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

I saw a kid standing on the Ski-Ball ramp dropping the ball in 100pt hole. I thought, what a great idea. Other kids were stealing coins. It was like a junior mafia....absolute insanity. I feel for those employees, they need Zanex.

Marc (Charlotte)

I've got the solution. Have Hochuli ref all games everywhere. He wouldn't be afraid of unruly parents.

Bob (Lowell)

When I umped LL, I often had parents leave the park. Would not resume game until they were gone.

Nate (Madison)

Yeah, we had our best player constantly skipping school and missing homework. The guy was unreal for a freshman, we would get him turned around for a couple weeks then he'd mess up again. Last straw was when he forged his grade report four weeks before the season ended, and we gave him the boot.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

You would think there was money riding on the games, the way some parents act. Oh, wait, maybe there is.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Ha...the Mel Gibson is an ONB instant classic (the standards are extremely low obviously).

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Quentin, I have yet to hear one person call it amazing. Take a step back from the bitter potion you're swilling.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I once umpired a teener league baseball game where a coach kept whining about my strike zone. I let him go long enough to hang himself and then ejected him from the game. For the record, the coach was a certified H.S. umpire and basketball official.

Scott (Brewtown)

I coached my son oon his u-10 baseball team. I had a mom ask why her son was only playing 2 innings a game. I said because all he does out there is twirl around in circles and eat beef jerky. She looked at me and said so? I had no comeback for that and stared blankly ahead.

Anthony (NY)

well that was just her strategy to have Jeff win everything maybe. Now that Jeff is gone Jordan is going to win everything :)

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

Probably not. Go Michelle, I guess.

Matt (IN)

Yeah, I read several things yesterday saying Favre's block was a cheap shot

stephanie (cincy)

I am a mom who told my son when he played rec basketball, that his coach and the ref's had the last word. Luckily the other parents felt the same way. It is never too early for kids to know that sometimes life isn't fair and you just have to suck it up.

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

Good. Now, please to go every small town in America and preach your good word. Lots of parents and kids need to hear that.

JB (TX)

I agree w/one thing from the ONB, Lady Gaga is terrible.

Jeremy (Boston)

You want tough. Have your older brother umpire your little league game and call you out on strikes.....and after the game he says, yeah, that was a ball....but.....jerk.

Steve (NJ)

Are we really doing the 'I have a LL story that doesn't involve me actually playing?' If so, can we go back to 'poker hands I once had' chat?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I had a kid complain about my strike zone. Stopped the game, walked to the mound, called the coach over, and proceeded to rip the kid a new one. Coach stood there and said, "Yeah, what he said. Just shut up and pitch." Felt good.

Christian (High Point, NC)

This chat has inspired me to turn my son into a nerd

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

I have problems with kids too. They complain about having to work so hard and I tell them they need to get lives.

stephanie (cincy)

I am not a "helicopter" parent and proud of it.

Marc (Charlotte)

Alex gets the award for touting someone's speed in the 40 as proof they are a good football player.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Ah the return of the two-named nonsense-mongers in the ONB. Gotta love it!

Marc (Charlotte)

JB, don't you mean turrble?

Nate (Madison)

Stephanie, my parents were the same. If I had a dispute with playing time or what not, my dad always told me to approach the coach myself and ask.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

"helicopter" parent? What is that?

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

A parent that jumps in every time little Johnny gets his feelings hurt. He gets a bad grade, parent complains to the teacher. Doesn't play in a game, parent complains to the coach. The parent is always there, hovering over their kid, like a helicopter.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

My kid starts tee ball this year. God I hope I don't turn into a helicopter parent. Oh a Helicopter parent is one who hoovers over their childrens every move.

stephanie (cincy)

helicopter parent= I don't "hover" over my son

Marc (Charlotte)

Really, no rowing comment in the ONB?

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

Thus ends our streak of two straight days of talking about a sport we may never talk about again in this space.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Ah, gotcha. Not a parent, wasn't familiar with the term. Thanks.

Steve (NJ)

Helicopter parent = my brother in law, who will not let his daughters out of his site for more than 10 minutes, if he can help it.

Mike (MI)

WHO CARES!? Do we really need to hear every "When my kid was in Little League..." story?

Christian (High Point, NC)

A "helicopter" parent is one who hovers constantly over their child, always trying to intervene -- it's even starting to happen with job interviews.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Yeah it's hard to really like anyone left in the house. I'm kind of rooting for Natalie but she is a coat-tail rider too.

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

Not only that, but she doesn't even try in the competitions. She's awful. The only reason to keep her around is because you know that you can beat her in anything that comes up.

Steve (NJ)

I'd love to hover; and, in 2015, I'll have a hoverboard. Perfect.

Nate (Madison)

Sooooo this weather....ummm yeahhhhh

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Who really NEEDS to hear any of this?

Cory (PA)

I think the rowing contingent realized that complaining to Buzz was like going to Bristol and complaining at the guy in the guard shack...or complaining to the guard shack.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I argued with a ref exactly once. I didn't get thrown out, but I got a pretty good tongue-lashing from my father after the game.

Marc (Big D)

The Morning Buzz: Where Helicopter Parent and Reality Show Discussion Happens

Scott (Brewtown)

Hey, we had frost advisories out the last 2 nights. Where's Jeff (Iowa)? and how is the Dorito crop holding out?

Buzzmaster

  (10:35 AM)

Where is Jeff (Iowa)? Good question.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

Ok so there are 2 bad things about Europe. 1 no ESPN and I have to wake up at 4 am Sunday to listen to the game on the internet. 2 no reality TV like Big Brother. Thank goodness for the blogs. Jeff is going bye-bye on Thursday.

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

Too bad. I might just stop watching if he does go. Though Michelle made a good point the other night. That Jeff can help Kevin get further in the game than Natalie.

Steve (NJ)

Chad, didn't they INVENT Big Brother in Denmark or something?

Justin (Chicago)

Worst thing about Europe: Lack of Ice.

Nate (Madison)

Chad but one good thing, cheap and good beer.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Farmers here are busy shelling corn, maybe he is too.

JB (TX)

More importantly, where's Jeff's sis-in-law?

Cory (PA)

With the frost adviseries Nacho Cheese took a hit, and Cool Ranch will now be called Cold Ranch

Nate (Madison)

We went from b.o. to helicopter parents....not sure where the connection was but there was one somewhere.

JB (TX)

I'd think no reality TV would be a good thing about Europe.

Justin (Ohio)

For that matter where is Hende?

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

I don't understand Danish so they could have BB here but I wouldn't get it. I know the have a Danish version of Survivor.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I thought they invented Big Brother in England. You know, Orwell being English and all...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think the BB house needs Ronnie and Russell back. They at least kept it interesting. Poor Jordan. When Jeff goes, she loses the brain she's been borrowing.

David Stern (NYC)

I think what ESPN needs to do is create ESPNEurope. This will provide me with the TV contract I will need to help the NBA to expand to 65 teams and 6 months of playoffs in Europe.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

Uhhhhh, Mr. Stern. ESPN UK launched a while back and ESPN International has been around for a while.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Just a side note. Our pumpkins and gourds are looking great.

Bob (Lowell)

I think Liz(Big Apple got locked in the ladies room.

Nate (Madison)

So a place in northern WI is growing and selling a rare apple called the SweeTango? I guess only a few places in the country grow them? Wonder what the difference is?

Police (Chat)

Jeff from iowa is missing let's get on that right away.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Shelling corn in September? Isn't that a bit early?

Carmen Sandiego (Somewhere in the world)

No, the better question is, where am I?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

When one of my kids is having trouble at school, I will tell them to ask the teacher where they need to work to improve. The only time I ever blamed a teacher was when I went back and discovered she couldn't do the math to determine a grade on a test. I actually sent in the proper calculation for her review.

Carl (NJ)

I always wanted to be a Gumshoe on that show.

Cory (PA)

Nate, the difference is their more expensive than common apples.

Steve (NJ)

Ok, so from annoying LL stories to 'what we're growing on the northwest 40?' Buzz, reign it in!

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

My wife's family lives near the German border so we get some German TV stations. On Sunday's during football season they get one of the games in primetime here. The announments are in German but who cares.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

This goes for everyone...nobody cares about your kids but you. It needed to be said.

Waldo (Crowd)

----you'll never find me, hehe.----

RAY GORDON REID ENGLISH TEACHER ( NORMAN OKLAHOMA

MY COMMENT AT 10.5O RIGHT NOW BUZZ THE CORRECT WAY TO SPELL YOU CLOWNS TERRIBLE

Mike (NJ)

Which QB has the better season in a new city: Brett Favre or Kyle Orton?

Matt (IN)

J.B.'s story reminded me of something. When my son was in first grade I really didn't like his teacher. Nice lady but just not a good teacher. She would nitpick him about silly little stuff. One day she made the mistake of sending home a letter to the parents that contained several spelling errors. I graded it and sent it back to her.

Most interesting man (world)

I prefer not to hide. Stay thirsty my friends.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I don't care about my kids

Cory (PA)

Waldo, we stopped looking for you 15 years ago...sorry dude, guess no one told you.

Anthony (NY)

Kepp Jordan in the house and I'm fine

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

So she can be evicted next week? Big whoop. Jeff needs to stay and win the whole thing.

Carl (NJ)

My cousin has 3 of the ugliest kids on the planet. Needless to say his wife sees the need to take them to get pictures done...I cant imagine what those photographers must think.

Jeremy (Boston)

Chad....Brother lives in Denmark....key is to find the bar that has the NFL games. Sometimes a hotel bar, and you'll see lots of americans there.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Fake RGR, hit the showers.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

Forget Dos Equis Carlsberb beer is better!

Nate (Madison)

Buzz, you read that story about the burglar that didn't flush the toilet after taking a pee, thus leaving his DNA and resulting in him getting busted?

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Yet another episode of really really dumb criminals.

Jordan (BB House)

I've won more than Natalie. I think I might stand a chance against her!

Nate (Madison)

Carl just had one of those comments where you try to tell him that's mean without laughing.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Jordan might be the most annoying person left in the house. She can go any time.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

Oops thats Carlsberg with a G. Guess I had 1 too many of those for lunch.

Pete (NC)

There are certain people in other deparments at my work that just can't seem to ever do anything right. I finally got fed up and called them on it myself. It felt great, but their manager didn't like that too much.

Anthony (NY)

Jordan's not annoying.

Natalie (BB House)

I can't believe I am drinking in the BB House and people still believe I am 18. No wonder I am still in the house, these people are morons.

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

Yeah, I love how you call the person in a house with a doctorate dumb.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Ugh, I totally didn't bring my A (or BB) game today. I'm not even going to waste time posting my lunch early. Have a good humpday y'all.

Steve (NJ)

Ok, client meeting in5: lunch today - leftover grilled chicken, mozz, roasted pepper and broccoli rabe sammich. Possibly a Heinekin.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I'm lost in this BB talk.

College Football Players (everywhere)

Cmon Buzz, like a degree really means you're smart

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Anthony: Oh yes she is. Her voice is annoying, her rambling dialogues are annoying, her lack of intelligence is annoying...need I continue?

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

Ouch.

Bob (Lowell)

Dumb crook should of had a whizzanator.

Nate (Madison)

CORRECTION: Actually it was feces not pee....sorry.

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

That's disgusting.

Nate (Madison)

Well, I want my previous post to tell the truth....sorry.

Matt (IN)

So The Pulse got arrested?

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I really didn't care to hear that.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

The chat has definitely hit the crapper.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Lunch: All you can eat sushi for $11.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Nadal is playing today, Buzz are you wearing Capri pants in his honor?

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

No pants.

Dumb citizens (L.A. Area)

There's a big fire coming my way and the firefighters told us to leave....but nawwwwwww, I'm going to stay.

Onterrio Smith (Prison)

The Whizzenator is for me ONLY!

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: a crappy sandwich

Tom (River North)

Well, that's that sign that it is time to leave. I will either be having chicken and rice, a burrito or a turkey hot dog for lunch. Have a good day SN!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I wonder if any of them are still buying that Natalie is 18. They may just be playing along at this point.

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

She's turrible. Has to be one of the worst players to have ever gotten this far before.

Marc (Big D)

Nothing kills a chat like big brother talk.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

and now on to lunch

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

No pants? What is this Greece?

Chris (Philly)

Pants are overrated.

Cory (PA)

I can't wait to see that introduced into evidence at the trial. "Sir, is this your feces?"

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Lunch: Shrimp cocktail, unsweet tea

Jack (NB Canada)

hot and honey Wings and beer for supper

Bob (Lowell)

Today's lunch chat will be replaced by toilet humor.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Is it a good idea to go to all you can eat places for lunch? I can't work properly if I'm too full. I keep the all you can eat for dinner

Don (San Francisco)

Buzz, Nadal is great and all, but I still think you should be wearing pants while at work.

stephanie (cincy)

Lunch: left over Vietnamese food from yesterdays luncheon

Buzz's Boxers (ESPN)

I get to see more daylight than any of my friends. I still don't think it's worth being wrapped around a big fat guy though.

Mike Golic (ESPN)

POTROAST!!!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Donald Duck (Disney)

What's wrong with no pants?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'd have to investigate that Buzz but I won't because that would require work that I'm not willing to put in. I will simply take your word for it that Natalie is the worst to get this far ever.

Buzzmaster

  (10:51 AM)

I don't know that for a fact either, but am fairly confident in saying so.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: McDonalds

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Yet Natalie will win if she makes the Final Two because all of her "friends" are in the jury house.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

lunch: BBq chicken with a salad and a soda

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Who can afford pants in this economy?

Mike Singletary (San Francisco)

I agree with Chris in Philly, I dropped my pants about 30 minutes ago, totally disgusted in this chat's performance.

Burt Reynolds (Jeopardy)

No Buzz, my name is Turd Ferguson.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Lunch: Whatever looks like the best special on the board at the Diner. I'm too tired to think.

Nate (Madison)

Look what your BB chat did, caused everyone to go lunch chat on you.

Lorraine (Hill Valley)

That's your name isn't it? It says so right on your underwear...Calvin Buzz Klein?

Cory (PA)

Lunch Garlic hicken penne alfredo

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Lunch: Chik-fil-a

Anthony (NY)

Lunch: White Castle

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

That's thinkin with your dipstick, JIMMY!!!

stephanie (cincy)

Garlic hicken sounds awesome

Anthony (NY)

I am not eating good lunches this week. Mon, and Tues, I had Burger King and Today White Castle. To compensate yesterday I did not dinner and today no breakfast.

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

Skipping meals doesn't help either.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

No pants? Did you get hit by a car?

Carl (NJ)

dry chicken breast, 2 s'mores granola bars, "energy" sobe (yellow one - i believe its a citrus blend) looks worse on paper

Ant-Ball (Lewisville GA)

Lunch is the topic in a SPorts Chatroom

Nate (Madison)

Last semester of grad school starts tonight with my Drug Policy class. Liking the class topic, but not looking forward to starting the weekly drives to Milwaukee.

Sean Connery (Jeopardy)

I will take your mother for $2000, Buzz.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

I thought Garlic Hicken was only served in Kentucky not Pennsylvania?

Bob (Lowell)

I'm not having hicken in any form!

Carlos Zambrano (Chicago)

Big Z HUNGRY!

Dr. Evil (Secret Underground Lair)

Throw me a fricken bone here! I'm the boss.....need the info.

Carl (NJ)

I remember when I was like Ant-Ball, still wet behind the ears.

Pete (NC)

Lasagna, garlic bread, and a mango gatorade.

JB (TX)

Lunch: $5 footloooong. T-minus 48 hrs till I leave for Vegas! Be jealous, suckas...

Chris Berman (Bristol)

Buzz, did you see my star in our Walk of Fame? Are you getting one in the cafeteria?

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Skipping meals is the worst thing you can do, just eat something real small to kick your metabolism. I know this because I am now 30 and am going to get fat.

Chris (Philly)

Ant, you are going to have to go to the Food Network site if you want to talk sports.

Mike (NJ)

Which Rookie RB has the better season: Donald Brown or Beanie Wells?

Buzzmaster

  (10:55 AM)

Neither.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

This is no sports chat, sports are sprinkled in like a light seasoning.

The Suits (Bristol)

For, heaven's sake, Buzz. You'd think after telling you every day since you started here to put some pants on that you would remember once in a while. Now get us some lattes.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I am jealous JB.

Cory (PA)

For want of a c the meaning was lost. For want of a meaning the comment was lost. For want of a comment the chat was lost. For want of a chat, Buzz was lost. So, everybody wins.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

Hey JB (TX) It was 110 when I left Vegas last week. I wouldn't be jealous of that.

Scott (Brewtown)

I have to admit Nate, that strect of I-94 between Madison and Milwaukee has to be the worst strecth of highway anywhere. And heaven forbid you have to go through rush hour...er rush week!

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

"Rush hour" in Madison. I'm thinking that any of our chatters from L.A., New York or Chicago are laughting.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

I'm not jealous of anyone that uses the word "suckas". Lunch: Pizza.

James Hetfield (Metallica)

Yeah, so put on some pants, pops.

tom* (parkville, md)

If the chat lost a c, it would be the BuzzHat.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

JB already has a map of all the Best Buy locations in Vegas.

JB (TX)

Dude, I live in Houston, it's 100 here all summer.

Nate (Madison)

I could go for a nice vacation to an all inclusive spot somewhere in the Gulf. Wouldn't mind waking up at 10-11am to some tropical drinks.

Clay (Charlotte)

Good Morning SN, Lunch: Fried Chicken...I hoping to join you guys again tomorrow or Friday, been working. Peace

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Mike (NJ), you are a little late. We already did the ONB.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Mike (NJ): If we completely ignored your Favre/Orton question, what makes you think we're going to answer that one?

Buzz (ESPN)

Lunch: Everything, because I'm fat.

Scott (Brewtown)

stretch you moron! s t r e t c h! man, my spelling blows

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Another solid chat effort, people. Well done. Looking forward to more tomorrow. Looks like another great day here in the Northeast so I'm going to get out and enjoy it as much as I can come 5:00 PM. Until tomorrow, stay safe and get out and have some fun. Later.

Cory (PA)

After my government sponsored trip to Iraq...I laugh at pretty much all U.S. summers anymore.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

The Gulf is 52 miles from here

Nate (Madison)

No Buzz, Madison has like two ways to get to the interstate and the "beltline" is a joke at rush hour. Worse than you might think. Milwaukee is ok except for this one mile stretch but even that was ok last spring based on past years.

Carl (NJ)

If we had more time we could pounce on Buzz's typo. Only because hes not human, and drones dont make mistakes

Chris O'Donnell (Gutter)

You guys are so cruel when you end your chat with your lunch chat, people in this country are starving right now, like me.

Chad (In Denmark from Vegas)

BTW JB best Sportsbook is at the Hilton. The Hilton isn't good for anything else but the sportbook is great.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Is there such a thing as rush hour in NY? For what I have seen, the traffic just never moves, whatever time of the day it is

Cory (PA)

Peace out party peoples

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

OK. We're done here. Thanks for stopping by everyone. We'll be back again tomorrow. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Have a good day everyone. See y'all tomorrow.

Bob (Lowell)

Nate, try the University of Phoniex online.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Have a good day Buzz, remember to wash your hands.
