  (10:00 AM)

Goooooooooooooood morning!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, people! Happy 9.9.09!

Andrew (Missouri)

Chances Matt Holliday will be hitting behind Albert Pujols next season?

Godish (Chicago)

Will my phone explode at 9:09 this morning due to too many 9s?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Chances we care: 0 %

Greg (Ellicott City)

Oh Buzz you fat tyrant you.

Steve (NJ)

Is there an echo in here?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good morning, Buzz Nation. The first trade in the MB FFL has taken place and should be decent for both sides.

Nate (Madison)

Andrew, I really don't care.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Happy Beatles Day to all! Those CD re-release box sets sound sweet.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

I got Aerosmith Guitar Hero the other day. Liking it so far. Not a bad buy at 20 bucks for game and guitar.

Trevor (Texas)

Good Morning to all...

Neal (Philly)

Morning Buzz. I'm back from my third week off of the summer.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

So, did Christian go out at 12:01 last night and snag Beatles: Rock Band?

Clay (Charlotte)

Good Morning Buzz, happy 9-9-09.

Pete (NC)

Buzz, Matt Damon? Seriously? Wouldn't that break the chat?

Buzzmaster

  (10:04 AM)

I'm nervous too.

Steve (NJ)

Beatles CD re-relase Rock Band: Beatles = Heather Mills' divorce settlement recouped

Michael Jackson's Creditors (Happy)

Yes, please listen to Tom and buy them all. And buy some for your friends and family too.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Hello, I can't find the chat.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Thanks for the endorsement, Buzz. I may have to get Aerosmith for our Wii. Not even considering the Beatles game.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I'm thinking I'll stop at the video game store and Friday and get the PS3 and the Beatles Rock Band bundle. There goes my weekend!

Matt (IN)

Good morning everyone. Matt Damon? Buzz that will have to be one of those chats where you get on another machine and send in questions about Lady Buzz.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

And there goes all your money, too, Clinton.

Matt (IN)

As I said before, the Aerosmith game rocks.

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

I agree. And I couldn't pass it up for that price. I also wanted to see what the World Tour was all about, without shelling out for the entire band set. So I got the game/guitar combo to give it a test run.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Wow, just read the Matt Damon thing. The only thing that would top a Damon chat would be a George Brett chat.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Ok, here it is.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Actually, I've been saving up for a little bit, so it's not going to sting too much.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

So Kevin sends home Michelle, who the jury would hate, and keeps around Jordan, who the jury loves. Methinks Kevin may have just cost himself $500,000 as well as making my ears bleed from Jordan's whiny voice and bubble-headed comments.

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

I held up to what I said last week. I didn't watch any of it until the final 10 minutes to see who got evicted. And now I may stop watching all together. None of those three left are very good players.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

A friend of mine has World Tour, and I've tried it out a few times. The drums are pretty fun.

Nate (Madison)

I think BB talk needs to go the way of the Favre/Tebow talk, as well as the dodo.

Matt (IN)

I find it funny that some of those songs are actually easier to play on a real guitar then they are on a video game.

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, did you watch Shaq box De la Hoya last night? It was actually pretty entertaining.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I just picked up Madden so there goes me doing anything productive for a while.

Marc (Charlotte)

The Beatles > Aerosmith

Jonathan (Madtown)

Rock band discussion, its official you guys are all single.

Trevor (Texas)

Clinton, they do not make Rock Band for Atari....

Brian (Madison, WI)

I bet you no one expected me to be involved in the first MBFFL trade. Seeing that I can't make decisions and all.

Tom (River North)

Don't you get two Guitar Hero games if you pay for just the newest Guitar Hero? That's a pretty good deal.

Neal (Philly)

When is Matt Damon chatting?

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

Possibly in December.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People that care that it's 9:09 on 9/9/09 need to get lives, and practice more.

Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)

People who don't like the Beatles need to get lives.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz did you have any say in today's SportsNation poll question? Some of us were kids before the 90s. I would have voted for anything by Tastykake as best snack.

Nate (Madison)

Saw the playlist for guitar hero 5 or whatever the new one is, looks pretty sick.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Only 2 months til modern warfare 2 comes out.

stephanie (cincy)

Buzz, you didn't wish me happy birthday yesterday

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

I didn't think women liked to advertise their birthdays.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Happy birthday.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Don't want you to slice me in the kitchen for unruliness.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Oh, goodie. Nate

Trevor (Texas)

Tomorrow is my birthday...I'm debating on skipping class to celebrate. Would this be acceptable for a graduate student?

Pete (NC)

I just picked up the LSAT prep book, so there goes all my free time for the next...ever.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

And I think you also get GH:VH if you buy GH5.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Jonathan: I'm married with two kids. We play Guitar Hero together.

Matt (IN)

I think Tom is right, if you buy GH5 you get the GH Van Halen for free.

Brian (Madison, WI)

No one listen to Jonathan. He is whipped by his gf and still manages to log about 20 hours of Farmville in on Facebook. School is back in session so that means the bus is too.

Jordan (Peoria)

I just typed out a long rant about a coworker but I thought I would shorten it to this...He sucks and his inability to communicate is not my problem.

Nate (Madison)

Jonathan (Madison) isn't single yet plays Wii tennis and Farmville on Facebook non-stop.

Marc (Charlotte)

I thought the LSAT was boring.

stephanie (cincy)

Not this woman. Thank you Buzz.

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, I can always tell that I'm still fairly young because I'm insulted when people think I'm 30. I made the comment next Monday is the last birthday that matters for me...my co-worker said "29?"...awful.

Tom (River North)

How could you leave the Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes and pies off the list. I don't even know what Dunkeroos are!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Jon plays Farmville on Facebook and he's busting our chops for talking about Guitar Hero? That's rich.

Scott (Brewtown)

Farmville?!? What the hell is that?

Ogre (Adams College)

Farmville is for NERDS!

fred (omaha)

steph i was gonna jump out of a cake for you, sorry but i was busy

Bus Driver (Madison)

*THUD* *THUD* Wow, I think I just ran over Jon twice! Hey, there's Nate and Brian!

Neal (Philly)

I still want to hurt my friend for getting me into Farmville.

Jonathan (Madtown)

A.) I play Wii about 1 hour a month......Bar time with friends.B.) Nate actually gets paid to be on facebook.

stephanie (cincy)

That's ok Fred. No really, it's ok

Clay (Charlotte)

You know, 16 you get your license, 18 you can smoke, 21 you can drink, and 25 you can rent a car....that's the last one until like 75 where you can walk around with no pants on and people think it's cute.

Steve (NJ)

Just so we're clear: the answer to the SN poll is 'Ring Dings'

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think we are going to go with, 'The Pop Tart Bowl,' as the name for the MB FFL title game. Buzz will you do the opening pop tart toss for us? The call would be, 'frosting,' or ,' no frosting.'

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

Done. As long as I get the second pop tart in the foil package.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I can't rip on people for playing games on Facebook (I play Lexulous -- which is basically Scrabble). I just wish their stupid gamer updates didn't post to me. That's annoying.

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

I hadn't heard about Lexulous. I'm going to check it out.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Notice he doesn't deny the 20 hours of Farmville part...

JB (TX)

Farmville? Really? Cue RichRod.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who play Farmville and hang out with girlfriends when they should be practicing instead need to get lives.

Steve (NJ)

It's yours. But I get to eat both Twix bars.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Anytime you want to play, Buzz. I'll play you in Lexulous. It's great fun.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I think you can hide those, Tom. I know I had to do it for one of my friends' Mafia Wars updates.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We have a deal, Buzz. I'll get you the details as we get closer to the end of the season. Strawberry pop tarts OK?

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

Strawberry's yummy.

Jonathan (Madtown)

Brian logs about 5 hours of PS2 a night, fact.

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

Oooh...Oooohh. I want to play "Who's A Bigger Nerd?" too!

Pete (NC)

Clay, don't forget about 40. That's when you officially become a man.

Matt (IN)

Buzz I think you need to bring back Brian Billick. That was a good chat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

That was a good chat. Coach was a great chat. He was a lot taller than I expected.

Neal (Philly)

It's awesome when a girl tells you she really likes you one week, and then the next, it's I just want to be friends. She couldn't give me a reason as to the change of heart.

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

BS Report MB = happy happy joy joy

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Nobody can be a "bigger" nerd than Buzz. You know . . . because he's fat.

Trevor (Texas)

Yummy...really Buzz? Yummy is a word used by 10 year old girls...

Jonathan (Madtown)

The bus rolls both ways.

Nate (Madison)

So I'm able to go on this chat, talk to friends on Facebook, etc, all while at work and getting paid and Jonathan throws that out there like it's a bad thing? Seems pretty nice to me.

Steve (NJ)

Neal, it might have something to do with your unwholesome hatred of Brad Lidge.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

The RichRod thing *never* gets old.

Tom (River North)

40 is when you become a man? What are you, some guy that works at an electronics store and rides a bike to work?

Nate (Madison)

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight...

Clinton (Indianapolis)

No, it doesn't. Brian and Nate can throw each other under the bus, and each of them can throw you under the bus, but you can't throw either of them under the bus. It's called seniority.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

My favorite sweet snack as a kid was Nutty Bars.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

In my mind: being paid to be on facebook > being on facebook for free

Brian (Madison, WI)

I never tried calling out anyone for being single or a nerd. That was a weak bus throw. 5 hours and every night is a little excessive, but I do play video games. Whoopdee doo.

Mike Gundy (Stillwater)

COME AFTER ME! I'M A MAN! I'M 40!

Steve (NJ)

Ok, who else is seeing '9' tonight? Show of hands.

Brian Billick (Coors Light Commercial)

Let's wedge it! Let's wedge it!

Pete (NC)

Well let's see, all of us are on here, so I'm not sure anyone has the right to point any fingers.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

What is 9?

Jonathan (Madtown)

Steve, you are all alone!!!

stephanie (cincy)

I have go go with Ho-Ho-s washed down with a Dr. Pepper as a favorite after-school snack

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

Baloney and cheese sandwiches. Followed by animal crackers.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Twinkies.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

It's a new movie, Jason. I think Tim Burton was involved somehow.

Neal (Philly)

Technically, most of us are getting paid to talk to Buzz.

JB (TX)

Nutty Bars were awesome.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Saw Inglorious Basterds last weekend. Quality flick. Without giving anything away . . . interesting ending.

Dan (Buffalo, NY)

you mean bologna, right Einstein?

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

Nah, I meant to type baloney.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Buzz just described his dinner tonight.

Mike Gundy (Stillwatear)

Tom, you aren't a man until you are 40. If you want to come after someone, come after me. I'm a man!

Neal (Philly)

butterscotch krimpets

Trevor (Texas)

The only thing that interests me about "9" is the music in the trailer...very action packed score for the movie.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Correction, JB: Nutty Bars still ARE awesome.

Tom (River North)

I lived on Hostess Cupcakes and Mountain Dew in high school. Luckily I played sports and had a fast metabolism back then, or I probably wouldn't have lived to see 25.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Wheatables or Wheat Thins? What does SN think?

Steve (NJ)

I thought you meant O-S-C-A-R

Nate (Madison)

Ok, I'll toss someone under the bus. To show Jon is whipped and old for his age. He was texting me two nights ago about where I need to go get these certain steaks because he's cooking out with his girlfriend and they are soooooo good and they were spliting a bottle of wine. I remember when I used to get texts about girls, drinking, funny weekend stories, jokes. Now all I get from him is shopping advice, things he's doing with his wifey, and Farmville/Mafia War invites (that get declined).

Jim Calhoun (Storrs)

Jonathan, get some facts about the bus and come back and see me. Get some facts!!!

Suits (Showtime Network)

Did you guys know it is the summer of Dexter?

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Whaetables all the way

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Wheat Thins.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Wheat Thins. Actually I think they're an underrated snack. Lots of upside.

Jay (Pittsburgh)

Triscuit thin crisps....parmesan garlic flavor>

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Wheat Thins for sure.

Meathead (Local Gym)

I live on protein bars, steriod injections, and supplements. Who wants a piece of me?!

Trevor (Texas)

Fact: Cheese Its are the best snack cracker out there.

Buzzmaster

  (10:23 AM)

The Cheez Its snack mix is good too.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Tricuits were not a choice Jay. Tsk.

Nate (Madison)

I definitely want to see 9. Maybe it's my fun (Dave/Buster commericial) or whatever, but I still love a quality cartoon flick....not afraid to admit I own Jungle Book, Robin Hood, and Wall-E on DVD.

stephanie (cincy)

Fried bologna on Wonder bread with mustard and Utz chips smashed on top. Yes, I am white trash

Marc (Charlotte)

Did Nate just say that eating a steak and drinking wine was grounds for being thrown under the bus? What is wrong with steak and wine?

Tim (SF)

Cmon Louis. Wheatablles are as bad as your posts.

Steve (NJ)

I agree with Trevor; cheddar cheese Goldfish coming in a distant second.

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

Combos still kick everything else's bum.

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

Why would you want to ruin Cheez-its by having lesser food with them?

Trevor (Texas)

In high school I lived on Double Cheeseburgers from McD's...dollar menu after football practice.

Tom (River North)

Did you know 55 goldfish equal 1 serving? And I'm a big fan of Chex Mix.

Bert (NY)

Meathead, click your hooves in approval of Pop Tarts

Neal (Philly)

Combos are awesome. I like the pizza ones.

Ryan (San Diego)

I used to eat those Kudos granola bars, man whatever happened to those things

Steve (NJ)

So wait, you're making fun of Jonathan because he's got a girlfriend? I'm sensing someone's missing the point here

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Depends on the Combo, Buzz. Pretzel Combos >>>> Cracker Combos.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

I don't even recognize cracker Combos as a Combos flavor.

Trevor (Texas)

Ah yes...Goldfish were amazing, but not anywhere near the quality and taste of Cheese Its. I also hate Cheese Nips, they are a rip off of Cheese Its.

Matt (IN)

Chicken In A Biskit. Heaven.

Steve (NJ)

Pretzel/cheese combos are very good. Bugles, too.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz didnt have a favorite after school snack. He just ate whatever he could get his round little hands on.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Would you guys kill each other on your own time?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Well, technically he's still sending you texts about drinking (splitting a bottle of wine), and well when you settle down, the funny weekend stories kinda go out the window, too.

Clay (Charlotte)

I'm actually a big fan of Bugles...come on, what other snack can you put on your fingers?

Steve (NJ)

Ryan, Kudos are still around. If you went grocery shopping once in awhile, you'd probably see them. In the granola bar section.

Neal (Philly)

I thought for sure I'd get an impostor to post as the girl I was dating. That's disappointing.

Marc (Charlotte)

I like homemade chex mix. The bagged stuff just isn't as good.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Good, Buzz. Just wanted to clarify the Combo continuum.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I love that cheese in a can. I can squirt it in my mouth straight out of the can.

Marc (Charlotte)

How about a little ONB action Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

Let's do it.....

fred (omaha)

buzz sportsnation is stupid, are you ready for rocktober, go rockies

chaz (sa tx)

i saw someone posted as me yesterday. as the great rich rod would say, "get a life" HA

Civlibprof (California)

This has to be the stupidest show I have ever seen. I wanted to watch Poker but instead I am stuck with I dont know what it is incomprehensible to me.

Andy (Shreveport,LA)

Does anyone know how to get live game updates sent to your phone?

Ken (Ne)

I see where the have Jumped Norte Dame way up in the ranking for beating power house Nevada. No disrespect intended for Nevada (Believe Nevada fans Believe). Are those doing the ranking that sure or just hoping that Norte Dame has a good team. Before jumping them way up there maybe they should give them a little time to prove themself.With a lost coming you pull them out of the ranking and they lose confidence in themselfs and self destruct

frankie (Metairie, LA)

Was it a good idea for the lions to start QB Matthew Stafford?

Andrew (Daytona Beach)

How come baseball announcers are horrified when an umpire misses a call? I mean, theses guys are human aren't they? If a guy gets called safe and he was out, big deal. It happens. Don't scrutinize theses umpires because you (the announcers) get to see the play 5 times from 5 different angles in super slow motion. Let it go.

Andrew (Emerald Isle, NC)

B-Dog! I know you are tired of expansion talk in the Big East; as are most of us fans. But consider this scenario and tell me what you think: Bring in ND, both Army and Navy, and ECU. Now, allow ND to keep thier NBC Contract (and all revenues); Allow ND to keep their Bowl winninngs (if they make it to a bowl); Allow ND to schedule BE games in NFL venues (Pittsburgh, NY (plenty of options there), Cincinnati, Buffalo, Tampa, Charlotte, etc. Effectively, these would be home games for many of the league teams. Now, by having the service acadamies involved would essentially allow ND to have at least their storied rivalries. And there ya go...ND still gets the world handed to them on a platter, the BE gets additional tv coverage by benefit of the NBC contract, and the league grows to 12 teams...dare I say..Conference Championship game?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

I usually don't comment on ONB posts, but this is the dumbest one we've ever had. And that's saying a lot.

Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)

A belated congratulations to Christian on being enshrined in the Morning Buzz Hall of Fame, the one place I'm strictly forbidden from.

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

And now we're done.....

Marc (Charlotte)

Obviously no one believes you are really dating someone Neal

Nate (Madison)

Clinton, it's in the manner of the way he texts it to me. I feel like he's 20yrs older than he actually is.

Imposter Girl (Neal was Dating)

It's not you it's me.

Jay (Pittsburgh)

Try flipsides..cheddar flavor...combo of pretzel and a buttery cracker

Clay (Charlotte)

Really, they would rather watch people play cards on TV then watch Colin and Michelle...just sad.

Brian (Madison, WI)

See Nate, you throw someone under the bus too many times and then people start to feel sorry for him. I did the one time, damage done, I'll give him time to recover.....or at least come up with a better retaliation than he did.

Ryan (San Diego)

Steve, do not lie about such things. Trust me, I've looked. They are only available in rare parts of the country

Matt (IN)

Pringles are good too, if you like playing with your food.

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

Or if you have a problem with popping and not stopping.

Ron (VA)

I am an ONB fan/supporter but todays was lame.

Neal (Philly)

Buzz, was Zach's ONB post the one to which you were referring?

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

No. That comment was intended for Andrew's case for Notre Dame joining the Big East. There's no way that will ever happen. Notre Dame will never join a conference and if they do, it will never be the Big East, by far the worst BCS conference.

Nate (Madison)

So the program I'm suppose to be working on and my email are down, looks like no work for this guy (at least right now)

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Fact: The "chips" in my lunch posts are Pringles.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Salt and vinegar pringles.

Lt. Kaffee (Court Room)

You throw someone under the bus once to get it on the record. You object twice and all of a sudden you have the MB crowd thinking our elaborate cross was some fancy chat room trick.

Scott (Brewtown)

I prefer Snyder's Honey mustard pretzel pieces

Clay (Charlotte)

I have to admit, I don't really have that big of a problem with the people jumping on the court to kiss Nadal or put a hat on Federer...I know, we had the issue with people trying to stab others earlier, but these guys are just trying to have fun and as long as they are willing to get arrested for it, have fun.

Steve (NJ)

I agree, Buzz. That post gave even more ridiculous benefits to ND than they already have. And, let's face it: Army/ND is about as interesting a game these days as Columbia/Yale.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

So, in honor of the Beatles CD re-release and Rock Band dropping, the local classic rock station is playing a ton of Beatles today. Excellent.

Gary (Memphis)

Knowing that clinton is old, was dating invented back when he was twenty-ish?

Neal (Philly)

I read Notre Dame and had no desire to read the rest.

Justin (Ohio)

Hi Buzz, on vacation and it is raining. Dam the bad luck.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

I wonder what the average weight is in here. If we take out the outlier (buzz), I would say we are in the 180 range.

Trevor (Texas)

I tried a new flavor of Baked Lays yesterday...Southwestern Ranch. They have dried peppers backed into the chip. Nice little kick of flavor.

Jack (NB Canada)

Collisions - haberno and guacamole

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

But wouldn't Notre Dame want to join a BCS conference where they felt they actually had a chance to win it? Not saying that post was coherent at all but I'd think Notre Dame would want to stack the odds as highly in the school's favor as possible.

Neal (Philly)

Did the peppers moonwalk into the chips?

Justin (Ohio)

Did you hear how Melanie Oudin was kicked out of her hotel room because they were full and she thought she would be out of the US Open before now? Good stuff.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Not afraid to admit my stats: 6'0", 200 lbs.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

That ND post reminded me of the annual nonsense about ND joining the Big Ten that goes on on message boards.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I want one of those big, soft warm pretzels and an ice cold beer. Look what you guys have do,ne to me!

Steve (NJ)

195.

Nate (Madison)

I was happy to see the people on the afternoon shows (ATH, PTI) liked the Prince Fielder celebration and saw it for what it was, guys just enjoying themselves.....and didn't go all grumpier old men on the issue.

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

Baseball players are way too sensitive. Guess what? You don't like someone showing you up for hitting a home run? Try throwing a better pitch next time.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Melanie Oudin was kicked out of her hotal room because her handlers are dumb people and didn't extend her reservation.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Does anyone remember when they used to make BBQ cheez its (2004)?

Tom (River North)

Trader Joe's has these salt and pepper chips that are quite excellent.

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

Sweet potato potato chips are good too.

Matt Damon (December Chat)

Apples are out of season. Buzz, do you like egg nog?

JB (TX)

Stay away from those Spicy Habanero Doritos. Trust me on this one.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

6'0", 200 lbs. here as well.

Neal (Philly)

155

Tom (River North)

Baseball players are the biggest crybabies in all of sports.

Nate (Madison)

Thank you Buzz. I mean, they should be upset over real issues like PED's, etc. Not over guys having fun, celebrating when there hasn't been that much to celebrate about over the last month or two.

Buzzmaster

  (10:35 AM)

I still don't think I like it when a hitter hits a home run and walks down to first base before starting to job, but overall the players need to lighten up.

Rich (Douglas AK)

5'10 -213-post morning Pop-Tart.

Nate (Madison)

And in the blue corner, coming in at 6'4'' and 215lbs....Natttttte from Madisonnnnnnnn....(crickets chirping)

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Fact: It was a long time before I learned that egg nog can contain alcohol. My dad used to be the non-alcoholic stuff from the grocery every holiday season.

JB (TX)

5'11" 200, probably run a 5.1 40, but I can bench 225 like 12 times.

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

Lemme guess. You also have a 40 inch vertical?

Steve (NJ)

Neal, she dumped you because you're scrawny.

Matt (IN)

My weight fluctuates between 175 and 190. This morning it was 183.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Yes, those dang things are HOT.

Roger (Somewhere in Texas)

*throwing high and tight to Buzz*

Trevor (Texas)

Here is my gripe: I know pro sports is a business, but why take all the fun out of every single league. After all it is a game.

Justin (Ohio)

Chirp

Rich (Douglas AK)

Depeche Mode is my walk-up music.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz: Didn't he start his job when he hit the HR? (Sorry, had to do it.)

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Did anyone see when Justin Upton did his HR trot and he ended up hitting the wall and getting a single out of it?

Scott (Brewtown)

I get a phone call, come back and everyone is announcing height and weight? Did we just rip through time to the Dan Patrick show?

Jack (NB Canada)

6'1" 205 lbs and handsome

Roger Clemens (McNamee's Personal Gym)

*throws broken bat in general direction of Buzz*

JB (TX)

Last time i did a vert it was probably like 32"

Justin (Ohio)

Fact: I just learned egg nog is available in non-alcoholic form.

Ryan (San Diego)

Fact: You can't buy anything but the non-alcoholic stuff at the grocery store

Steve (NJ)

I can bench 140 lbs 30x. Once every 3 days. ANd yeah, I'm proud of that.

Mike (Richmond)

6' ....200.....ding!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Isn't Jeff (Iowa) like 6'7"?

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

Where is the Dorito Maker?

Nate (Madison)

I'm already seeing candy corn in stores, just about a month away from places roping off areas for their Christmas displays.

tom* (parkville, md)

The lesson here, Scott, is never answer the phone during the Buzzchat.

Mel Kiper (Bristol)

Here we're looking at JB from Texas. The kid has no athletic ability whatsoever. Slow, weak, small doesn't equal success at the next level. I project the Raiders will take hiim in the 2nd round

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Well, Scott, someone threw an idea out there that we average 180 lbs. and so out came the dimensions.

Rich (Douglas AK)

I've got a 40 inch vert if I jump off the plastic cat litter container.

Justin (Ohio)

Oh by the way The Tony Kornheiser show made its debut yesterday on sports talk 980 espn in DC. YEA!

Scott (Brewtown)

Let's see: 5' 10" 164 lbs, vertical of 3cm, bench press? nothing, 40 time? not sure I could make it 40 yds; yeah, typical 45 yr old lazy caucasian

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

I like the honesty.

Larry (Del)

What ever happened to prisoner Robert of NC

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

Solitary.

Marc (Charlotte)

They should have knocked out the guy who ran on the court. Send a message that it is unacceptable.

Joba (New York)

I don't like hitters showing me up when I cant strike them out and they take me deep :(

Nate (Madison)

(laughing) nice Mel post.

Steve (NJ)

I've been on the phone with an insurance company most of the chat, actually. They really shouldn't drop people's coverage without first informing them of their right to COBRA coverage. Now they have to pay...

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Me too, Nate. I'm also already seing those temporary costume stores. You know, lease out a space for two months and try to rake in as much cash as possible.

Jeff (Iowa)

Right Here! I am 6"5" and my weight is my business.

Nate (Madison)

Why would you want non-alcoholic eggnog? I mean to me the stuff doesn't taste the best so if I'm going to drink it, might as well get something out of it.

Steve (NJ)

Robert's been working hard, LArry. And his dad passed away the day after his birthday.

JB (TX)

Yeah, I have DB size and lineman speed, that won't get me to the next level. That and I'm already in my 30s.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I'm not about to tell my weight.

Clay (Charlotte)

Haha, I just got off the phone with a Scottish guy who's one of our contractors...kept him on the phone for an extra minute or two just cause I like the accent.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'm short and a bit overweight (waist line still under 40). That's all you need to know.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Or my age.

Maggie (Caddyshack)

That's all I need

Jeff (Iowa)

We are bagging doritos today. Third crop this season.

Trevor (Texas)

I get to go to court today to see about getting a speeding ticket fine reduced...suckage. I hate the beginning of school when you forget that the school zone is in effect after 3 months of inactivity.

Steve (NJ)

If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!

tom* (parkville, md)

I will record my weight as soon as NASA invents a number that high.

Nate (Madison)

This is getting creepy.

jay jay (boston mass)

Mr.Parker was wrong about MJ and calling Ali the greatest sports athlete in the world...could it be some of his west cast bias.Leave it up to him,Kobe would be Athlete of the Century.

Marc (Charlotte)

Is that real Jeff or fake Jeff?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I don't blame the MB women for not disclosing their stats. fred (omaha) could be lurking anywhere.

Justin (Ohio)

Waist line under 40? Ah... highschool.

Neal (Philly)

I could easily hide behind most of this chat and not be found.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I got that whole court thing in like 3 weeks. Not really looking forward to it. Stupid speeding ticket.

Steve (NJ)

Buzz's weight is only expressable with scientific notation.

Rich (Douglas AK)

Weight is really just a number, BMI is a better measure, and a jump into the BodPod will really let you know if you can adapt to the rapid changes of topic here on the Morning Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Does that take into account big bones, though?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Buzz's weight: 6.02 X 10^23 Pop Tarts.

Prince Fielder (Milwauke)

I am big boned!

Steve (NJ)

NASA invents numbers? Maybe that's why our space program is pure pulse. Wasting time inventing numbers instead of building rockets.

Prince Fielder (Milwaukee)

Just like everyone else in here, I am about 6' tall, 200 lbs, ripped, and extremely handsome. I have one lady on each side of me right now, too.

Rudy (South Bend)

5 foot nothing, 100 and nothing, without a speck of athletic ability..

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, hate to tell you but bones don't get THAT big.

Tom (River North)

BMI isn't really a good measure either. I remember reading once that Barry Sanders had a really high BMI because he was 5'8 and weighed around 200 pounds.

Lady Buzz (Bristol)

buzz's love handles have love handles. now matt, well that's quite a different story altogether.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

BMI doesn't take into account body muscle. Body builders, for example, have an obese BMI.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

They were talking on the radio this morning about being "big boned" and then about short guy syndrome. It was funny.

Matt (IN)

That's right Prince, and they are measuring you for your tent that you call a shirt.

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

Tarp or moomoo.

Marc (Charlotte)

Rudy didn't say that.

Tom (River North)

I weigh approximately 13 stone. Sounds much better than 190 pounds...

Rich (Douglas AK)

Good point Buzz, you'd have to determine your somatotype to really figure it out more.. Ednomorph, Ectomorph or Mesomorph.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Body fat percentage is a much better measure than BMI.

The Pulse (ESPN Archives)

Fact: the word Pulse was used in the first or second sentence of the first ever Sports Center.

Steve (NJ)

BMI is not a better number, because it is arbitrary and has no relation to a given person. Take me: I'm 5'8", 195lbs. According to BMI, I'm 30 lbs overweight. It ignores the 15 hours a week a spend in the gym.

Scott (Indy)

Good to hear about a good dorito crop if that is indeed the real Jeff (Iowa). I expect with the good supply, the price will be going down?

Steve (NJ)

Muumuu, Buzz don't want to insult the Pacific Islanders in the chat.

Field Maintenance Guy whose name escapes me (South Bend)

The only person you have something to prove to is yourself....and if you ain't done that by now it ain't never gonna happen.

chauncey (teaneck)

5'9 150

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

So I have a bodybuilders BMI? Now that's talking

tom* (parkville, md)

Moomoo if you're a-headin' outdoors, tarp if you're a-stayin' home.

Neal (Philly)

Steve, lifting ring dings from the table to your mouth is not exercise.

Goody (Ft. Laud. Florida )

Who should I start brett farv against clevland or mcnabb against panthers

Justin (Ohio)

Eric Mangini hasn't coached a game that has counted yet for the Browns and I already want him fired. Just name a starter. Loser.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Brian and Nate do a lot of exercising: 12 oz./16 oz/23 oz. curls.

Clay (Charlotte)

I do one sit up a day...I get up in the morning, that's half.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

So we morphed from great school lunch snacks to obesity. Well at least the connection is there.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

You should start beer and chips againt sunday afternoon football, that's more in our expertise field

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Goody: Hold off until 3:00 PM with that question. We are more about making pop tart choices here.

Manny Ramirez (Los Angeles)

I normally tip the scales at about 220, but with my natty dreadlocks i'm 245. with the additional weight gain of my pregnancy, i'm up to 260!!

Trevor (Texas)

I was at GNC the other day just window shopping and I saw that they now sell Shark Cartilege as a supplement.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

There is a lady that lives here that NEVER wears anything but a muu muu. She is a very large woman.

Brett Favre (MN)

Start me. And never post anything like that again outside of the ONB.

Chad Ochocinco (First Take)

Child Please Skip!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Rich (Douglas AK)

Goody is a wrongchat-a-morph.

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: Turkey sandwich, fritos (sorry Jeff) and a Ding Dong.

Jack LaLaine (Hollywood)

Buzz may I remind you of two things.BMI does not stand for buzz's morning food intake and 2) for two easy payments of 49.95 plus s/h you can have my juicer.

Jack (NB Canada)

Lunch: BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Michele (BB Jury House)

How do all the losers end up winning Big Brother anyhow? I'm the only one to do anything of the final 4. Now Kevin is the only one to do anything.

Buzzmaster

  (10:52 AM)

Don't get me started. This has been the worst season of the show by far.

Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)

Lunch: Greatness

Mike (Richmond)

lunch: McDonald's....I'm a dollarmenunnaire!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Lunch: Cajun chicken sandwich with a side of pickles and an iced tea. This is subject to change.

Clay (Charlotte)

Lunch: Fajita Nachos

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: Turkey/Salami/Havarti, Dual Flavor Doritos and Nutty Bars.

Justin (Ohio)

My potato soup got lost.

OU Football Team (OK)

Steve (NJ)

Lunch: the still-beating heart of my adversary. Or, y'know, Five Guys. Whatever.

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: Gym, leftover pasta.

Rich (Douglas AK)

Leftover Sockeye Salmon, garden salad, Bossa Nova superfruit juice.

MBers (Everywhere)

BB chat again. Ugh.

Jeff (Iowa)

See ya tomorrow. The dorito crop needs attention,

Trevor (Texas)

FYI: if any of you ever head to Austin, TX I suggest you eat at Stubb's...amazing BBQ.

JB (TX)

Lunch: something cheap, Vegas killed me and I don't get paid till the 15th. Ran into J.R. Smith at a club one night, and also think I saw Ava Devine but couldn't tell if it was her.

Bob (Lowell)

Liverwurst on rye.

Justin (Ohio)

That would infer there was a good season of BB.

Ryan (San Diego)

I'm so glad I stopped watching BB after the first show...the people on there were bo-ring

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

robbi always has unsweet tea. live it up once and a while

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Ooh Steve .....gross

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Lunch: Orange chicken, white rice, egg roll. and hot/sour soup

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We need Dr. Wil back in the BB house.

Justin's Co-Worker (Ohio)

Yeah, Justin, lost right into my belly!

Tom (pa)

New chik fil a started up. gonna try them out.

Justin (Ohio)

Was Stubbs on Diners, Drive-Ins,

BYU (Provo)

Lunch: The top 10.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who eat lunch need to get lives, and get in the gym for another 2 hours of conditioning instead!

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Chick-fil-A = Awesomesauce

Tom (River North)

Is Steve a character in Mortal Kombat? Why is he eating other people's hearts?

Trevor (Texas)

I can't remember. I love Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives though. Can't remember if I've seen it on there or not.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Tasty chat today people. Loved it. Off to get a few things done before heading off to lunch. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday and see you back here tomorrow. Don't forget MB FFLers, get your trades in before the games start this week! Later.

Justin (Ohio)

Booooooooo! Co-workers. Boooooooo!

Christian (High Point, NC)

Sorry I'm late, donated blood. Happy Beatles Day! Lunch chat: going up to Gamestop to pick up The Beatles: Rock Band.

Marc (Charlotte)

I thought they just pulled out people's hearts in MK?

Ryan (San Diego)

Bold prediction.....USC 45 Ohio state 18.......place your bets now.

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

It's going to be much, much closer than that. Much.

Buzz (ESPN)

Lunch: Everything. Because, you know, I'm fat.

Guy Fieri (Food Network)

This chat is bananas...and bananas is good.

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Marc (Charlotte)

Did we actually get through a chat without Ed Hochuli?

Nate (Madison)

OSU 27 USC 24. Upset.

Tom (River North)

Blimpy Burger in Ann Arbor was on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives once. I saw a girl on the club hockey team eat 21 patties (about 3 pounds) for her 21st birthday. It was impressive and disgusting at the same time.

Justin (Ohio)

I know Ryan. My father gave me 2 tickets to the game Saturday and I'm not sure I want to go.

Buzzmaster

  (10:57 AM)

You're freakin' kidding, right?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Let's fry some bananas.

Ryan (San Diego)

That wasnt me who posted that, but it's along the lines of what I was thinking. So impostor, congrats, you're in my head

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Marc, how dare you question my ever watchful eye. 5 yards, still first down.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Justin I will drive down to Columbus and take those tickets off your hands.

Ed Hochuli (TMB Ref)

Buzz, that's 15 yards for Gwen Stefani impersonations; let's keep it clean people. First down!

Marc (Charlotte)

Justin (Ohio) should be put on probation if he doesn' tgo.

Don (San Francisco)

Lunch: Anything but snack food

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Ever watchful eye? Ed Hochuli is Sauron?

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Or is he the Big Brother producer?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Go Ohio State!! The lesser of the two evils.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I hate the way Guy Fieri wears his sunglasses. I just want to rip them off the back of his head. Very annoying.

Christian (High Point, NC)

To answer some questions I missed: I did not get the Beatles Rock Band at 12:01 since there was no point when I'd just come home and go to sleep. If you buy GH5 in September you get Van Halen for free. And tOSU will win 27-17 over USC.

Justin (Ohio)

Last couple big games were awfully depressing for Buckeye fans Buzz. I'll probably go but very apprehensive.

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

Ooohhh, geez. So sorry you have to go to the biggest game of the first two weeks of the season. So very sorry.

Tom (River North)

Ohio State is not the lesser of two evils. It is pure evil...

Rich (Douglas AK)

I'm not angry, I'm just saying, have a good Wednesday Sports Nation.

JB (TX)

I have SC 34 OSU 20, but I'm surprised by the apathy from Buckeye Nation this year.

Christian (High Point, NC)

If you want Justin, you can send me the tickets.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Gosh Justin, even I would love to go to that game.

Nate (Madison)

If you like pina coladas....and getting lost in the rain. Sorry that song is stuck in my head for no reason at all.

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

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

Mike (Richmond)

Next monday all you people picking Ohio State better come in here and say, "LUNCH....crow, for making a terrible pick"

Pete Carroll (CA)

OSU will score less than 14 points.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

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

tom* (parkville, md)

Is that 27-17 Ohio State win in field hockey?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Have a great day. Bye y'all.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I have Thriller stuck in my head right now . . . probably because it's playing on my MP3 player as I type this.

Justin (Ohio)

I promise I'll go. Quit making fun of me.
