  (10:00 AM)

Goooooooood morning!

al (dc)

Where is Dan Rafael?

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

As I as watching the Black Eyed Peas during the pre-game last night, I began to wonder: could I think of a worse band to open the NFL season? Sure enough, right out of the commercial break, my question was answered....Tim McGraw signing a love song.

Steve (NJ)

Good Morning friends; today we should all stop to remember those horrific events eight years ago; not to milk national pathos for ratings, nor to take the opportunity to re-run conspiracy theories through our minds. No, we should simply reflect on the thousands of lives lost that tragic day, and the hundreds of thousands lost in the eight years since...in the name of those who died.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

I set the over/under at 4.5 for the number of Os in Buzz's opening "Good Morning!" Place your bets.

king (thomasville, georgia)

Do anyone disagrees when I say Georgia Tech will win the ACC championship?

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

Many people.

George (University of Rhode Island)

T.G.I.F. is so oversaid but it still is the only phrase that gives the weekend perfect praise especially after first week of classes.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks, let's get this Friday going.

Scott (Brewtown)

Goo..................................d Morning! Stupid interuptions

john (panama city bch, fl)

WHAAAAT? No First Take today? I hope you guys are GOOD!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Oh, we're better than good. We're so good, we are stinkin horribly turrible.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz..... is late.... and fat.

Animals (Across the US)

Meow, oink, woof, ribbit, bahh, nayy, moo, cluck

Clay (Charlotte)

Morning Buzz, big plans for the weekend?

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

Not really. Visiting with one of LadyBuzz's friends that just got back from Israel and Jordan.

Neal (Philly)

Morning Buzz. I am on a service call and chatting at the same time. I'm good at multi tasking.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Do anyone disagrees when I say king probably failed 3rd grade english?

Troy Polamalu (Trainers)

Thanks Madden.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

You should probably thank your agent for agreeing to that endorsement deal.

john (panama city bch, fl)

Usually chat First Take, lookin for big things from you guys!

Buzzmaster

  (10:04 AM)

Too much pressure.

Pete (NC)

Let me just start by saying Happy Patriot Day. We'll never forget those who passed on 9/11/01.

Michael Scott (Scranton, PA)

Goooooood morning Vietnam!

Nate (Madison)

Chatting blindly right now so I have no idea what you're talking about, so....yeah.......oranges.

Matt (IN)

Good morning. A big salute to all of those who lost their lives.

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Sorry, I activated the wrong chat.

Clay (Charlotte)

LadyBuzz's friends made it back alive...mazel tov.

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

That's what I was saying.

Reggie (Boston)

I do, King. They almost lost a 21 point half time lead. And Va Tech is better than them.

Clay (Charlotte)

Troy I'm pretty sure you made enough money on that deal to lose 3-6 weeks of playing time.

John Madden (Bus)

You see here, I make a game and put a player on the cover. Then BOOM, he goes and gets hurt in the first game

Nate (Madison)

I'm craving some Strongbow.....hmmmm, might have some tonight.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, is the main chat page not working?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

No, I just activated the wrong one.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Brett Favre unretires so John Madden has to as well. And working with Goodell?

Steve (NJ)

Buzz is one of the WonderTwins? He 'activates' chats!

Ryan (San Diego)

Can't believe it was 8 years ago today, I hadn't even popped my first collar yet. RIP all the victims

al (dc)

so you have to refresh thiis chat thingy? i've been away too long...new fangled gizmos are confusing

Marc (Charlotte)

John, you're in for a rude awakening.

Nate (Madison)

There we go!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Ah, there's our chat. Relax, Buzz. No First Take to contend with today. It's all you, big guy.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Main page working for me now

Kimbo Slice (Miami)

You better get this thing figured out before I activate your face Buzz

damien oh [via mobile]

Thanks Big Ben for composer u showed off last. Fantasy world thanks you too

George (URI)

My parents I need to do better in school and that's why I am getting my priorties in line that's why I am on here while in my calculus 2 class... Go wireless Internet!

dorothy (las vegas)

CHAD VS SKIP LETS TALK GOOD MORING

Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)

You people that believe in the Madden curse need to get a life.

al (dc)

first poitn of chat, plus another....why did i ever leave? oh work. and mortgage. suck lifey

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I am having problems with this thing, but hello anyway.

Scott (Brewtown)

If you activate the wrong chat, does that mean Jerry Crasnick just got zapped awake?

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Hopefully he's not too mad at me.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Kind of a light chat day today, Buzz. The holiday was last weekend.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

I need to stop spoiling you guys with killer chat lineups. All you ever do is complain when we have 1-2 chats per hour instead of 3-4.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Me vs Skip, anytime!

Tom (Boston)

I didn't know Roethlisberger had a musical friend?

Steve (NJ)

al might be RGR in disguise.

al (dc)

i did not have that many beers last night...

Nate (Madison)

What did Big Ben do? Composing a song at halftime?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Gotta catch up.

Marc (Charlotte)

Chad... First Take is that wa.....wait. Oops.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Maybe you can get Kimbo to chat for more than 10 minutes and more than 2 words per answer.

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

What are you talking about? He chatted for over 20 minutes, Grason. Go sit in the penalty box, 10 minutes to life.

Pete (NC)

I'm not sure which is crazier, spending $582k on a dog or naming said dog Yangtze River Number Two.

Clay (Charlotte)

You set the bar high Buzz, that's your own fault. You should have set it low and then wow'ed us.

District Attorney (San Diego)

Ms. Tequila is not on my appointment list today...but we do have a Tila Nguyen.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Chad is in a fighting mood again today?

Nate (Madison)

Jason, you're forgetting one thing. HE'S KIMBO SLICE

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Speaking of Strongbow, tomorrow is my wife's birthday and we're celebrating with some.

al (dc)

I dont like Ben...not sure why...just dont. Then again, i do like Barry Bonds, so there is probably something wrong with my parents...

Clinton (Indianapolis)

There was a football game last night? Just kidding.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Geez I didn't even realize that it is basically a full chat day. My bad, Buzz.

Nate (Madison)

To think last year I was all pumped over the playoffs, now I'm just happy if our starting pitcher gives up less than 4 runs and makes it past the 5th inning.

Clay (Charlotte)

Clinton was in bed by 7, didn't get to see any of the game.

Pete (NC)

Fantasy football chat? Okay, well I'd like to thank Willie Parker for giving my opponent all of 2 points. Great job my Tar Heel friend.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Nah, Robbi I was just messing with you yesterday, nothing personal. Enjoy the off week in football and hope you guys beat Louisville next week.

Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)

Buzz, I could kick the crap outta you for not posting my question to Kimbo.

Jordan (BB house)

Hey y'all, even I can't believe that I beat Natalie. I am really excited, y'all.

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

Good job Jordan. Now beat Kevin in the third competition and then evict him. Take Natalie to the final and you'll win.

Marc (Big D)

Gooday Mates! TGIF!

Nate (Madison)

I watched the GT/Clemson game most the night, it was more exciting, but it was perfect timing because as soon as it ended the Pitt/Tenn game got interesting at the end.

Brian (Louisville)

Hats off to the Steelers last night, hopefully the Titans can meet them again in January.

John Madden (Golden Corral breakfast buffet)

BOOM!! THE curse strikes again, only took 2 quarters this time!! WHAM!! TurDuckEn!!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I enjoyed that Cory (my MBFFL opponent this week) had Santonio Holmes . . . riding the pine.

Tom (Boston)

Every time I have a day off I claim I'm going to go for a run in the morning. And then Noon rolls around and its too late. Shaping up like that kind of morning.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Actually, I tuned in with about 5:30 to go in the third and watched the rest of it. Got sucked into the Rock Band thing again. Time just flies by when you're playing that thing!

Delonte West (Chillin)

Buzz better have my donuts

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Thank god it's food

Reggie (Boston)

Does anyone plan on watching that new Michael Strahan show on Fox? I actually thought it looked kinda funny.

al (dc)

Jordan will not be Kevin or Natalie

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

Natalie, yes. Kevin, no. Kevin wins if he goes to the final.

al (dc)

I dont get the rock band game -- you just hit buttons on a fake guitar and play songs of bands?

Nate (Madison)

Ok, if we survived a baby being born on 9.9.09 that weighed 9lbs 9oz, I don't think we need to worry about 2012.

Clay (Charlotte)

Too much sports talk, Buzz have you noticed that we started a book club on the FB page? Yes, we are that big of losers.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

I'll have to check that out.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

That second part of the HOH competition was pretty weak last night. Basically it didn't matter how much you knew if you couldn't handle playing oversized skee-ball. Now I may have to deal with Ms. Whiny in the finals. Kevin should have kicked her out when he had the chance. He can't beat Jordan but could easily have beaten Michelle.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

See, I think Kevin wins against anyone left. He would have lost to Michelle in the final. I don't think Natalie can do any better than second, no matter what happens.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm convinced that was Clemson's JV team that played the first half.

al (dc)

why is noon too late for a run?

Chad (Las Vegas)

Gnat has a shot to beat Jordo because even though Gnat is hated at least she played a game. Jordo has had no game. If Kevin makes the final 2 he wins no matter who he is vs.

Marc (Big D)

Myeh my name is al and I am from dc and video are stupid. Myeh.

Pete (NC)

And the BB portion of this chat ends.......................now.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Ok I'll accept that.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

Natalie won one competition. Jordan won one HoH and beat Natalie head to head. If she beats Kevin to go to the final, that will be a good case in the end.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I don't expect you to get it, al. You do like Barry Bonds after all.

Steve (NJ)

Seems al (dc) does, in fact, get Rock Band

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

BB talk again? When is that godforsaken show going to end?

al (dc)

*beat -- also i didnt watch last night's episode, its on the TIVO, i'm making rookie mistakes in this chat

Nate (Madison)

Looked at the playlist for Guitar Hero 5, pretty sweet.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Early reviews of the Strahan show are not good. As a matter of fact I believe it was picked as one of the worst shows of the new season.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

BB talk, time for a coffee break.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Jordan's too dumb to bring that up.

Cory (PA)

Yeah...I sat Holmes for Welker...Brady better light him up too...*mutter* *grumble*

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Does anyone else feel themselves getting dumber as they're reading al's posts?

Tom (Boston)

Noon is too close to Happy Hour...I don't have to explain myself.

al (dc)

I LOVE video games...i just dont get Rock Band...mostly i play sports games...I wasnt hating, just looking for an explanation -- all the young kids are playing rock band wheni'm at best buy so i dont get a chance

john (panama city bch, fl)

Dam- your mod's fast- i can't read fast enuf to b relevant,lol

Joey (Rutlandvt)

I can't believe that we have to watch red neck football pracvtice instead of firsttake.do you know what the only thing that is more pointless than a car going in circles.........watching the car go in circles

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

Good job tough guy.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

At Best Buy? Is al actually JB? JBal?

Neal (Philly)

I feel myself getting dumber everyday.

Cory (PA)

Nate...are you expecting a 20lbs. 12 oz. baby to be born as a harbinger of the end times?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Um, Jordan blew Nat away in the 2nd part of that challenge last night. Granted she hasn't done much but that was all her last night.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I loved how Buzz tried to convince us that he was going to stop watching BB. Like trying to tell us he is going to stop eating pop tarts or start accepting free steak dinners.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

I did exactly what I said I was going to do. I watched the last 10-15 minutes or so.

john (panama city bch, fl)

Sure will be glad when baseball season ends- I'll have TWO DAYS of peace before it starts again!

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

I'm pretty sure there's more like 4-5 months before it starts back up.

The Suits (Bristol, CT)

Tell that Buzz kid to start posting new people today! We need to mix it up!

Cory (PA)

And people wonder why the Marlins can't fill seats.

Don (San Francisco)

So has the question been asked - who was the bigger man in the room yesterday - Kimbo or Buzz?

Denny Green (?????)

Buzz did what we thought he would!! You want to crown him?

Eric (Kettering OH)

you will be happy?

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Buzz in 2 more weeks you won't hear from me for a while.

Buzzmaster

  (10:23 AM)

Thank God.

Marc (Big D)

Cory I think the harbinger of the end of times would be a 2,012 lb. baby.

Clay (Charlotte)

Stop watching BB, start watching Top Chef. Same show except plus food. You'll love it Buzz.

Nate (Madison)

That's like Brian saying he's going alcohol free for the weekend.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

That tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good nightThat tonight's gonna be a good good night

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

I gotta feeling....

JB (TX)

Fact: there are no approachable women in the video game aisle at Best Buy.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Getting paid the Friday before the 1st weekend of NFL football is not a good idea when you live 5 blocks away from a casino. Goodbye paycheck until Monday when I hopefully hit 60 percent of my picks.

Clay (Charlotte)

I pretty sure there is a strict no singing policy in TMB.

al (dc)

Fact: there are no women in the video game aisle at Best Buy

Brian (Madison, WI)

Why would I go alcohol free for a weekend? Sounds dumb.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Here's the explanation, al: It's about having fun, just like you do with your sports games. Some people just choose to use a different means to achieve the same end.

Ryan (San Diego)

Your Padre update for today. Kevin Kouzmanoff, 3B for the Padres is on pace to break the Major League record for defensive fielding % by a 3rd baseman. That's basically as cool as winning a World Series

Joe Wilson (DC)

YOU LIE BUZZ!!!

Nate (Madison)

So I just stumbled upon an headline article on msn.com about countries with the best looking locals. Interesting.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Who doth disturbeth the Chat Ref from his slumber? Ah yes, it is Joey, aka Internet Whiner Guy. Hit the showers rookie.

Marc (Big D)

I love on Top Chef when people start crying because someone stole all the cake flour or something. I bet that is what caused the kitchen stabbing in NYC.

JB (TX)

Man, what was I doing watching a classic overtime smashmouth game btwn 2 AFC powers when Big Brother was on? I feel stupid now for missing it...

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Okay, I've got to cut out early. I've got a brief to write. Have a good weekend, MB'ers, and happy birthday to my wife tomorrow!

Scott (Brewtown)

Nate 'stumbled on' = frantically searching Google for weeks

al (dc)

And Brian Roberts being one of three players to have 3 50 doubles season is just as good as having a decent starting rotation

john (panama city bch, fl)

Gotta feelin, i could party w/Brian.

Rajesh (Atlanta)

I can't decide whether to start my tailgating mix with Queen "Another one Bites the Dust" or Dire Straits "Walk of Life". Can you help-my crews pregame rock out session depends on this very important decision?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

Depends what game you're going to.

Cory (PA)

Chad...there's this group for gamblers that's totally anonymous...NATIONAL HOTLINE 888-GA-HELPS (888-424-3577)

Reggie (Boston)

I hate Mike (Belvidere, IL). That song is soooo overplayed its ridiculous. Not even a good song.

Neal (Philly)

Nate stumbles without alcohol?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

It's all the years of abuse.

Joe (High Point University)

Take your pick: ACC or Big East...

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

Gun.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

The world is just wrong when Texas and Oklahoma St are both in the top 5.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Always start a party with, 'You Shook Me,' by AC/DC. It heightens the energy big time.

Marc (Charlotte)

Wait.... Tom is doing work? Maybe there was something to the 9/9/9 theory!

Jim Breuer (Pizza Hut Commercial)

JACKPOT!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

Could their be any better spokesman for a pizza commercial?

al (dc)

Can you really rock out to walk of life? You can rock out to Queen

Brian (Madison, WI)

Start the party with Jump Around.

Tom (Boston)

ACC: Football. Big East: BBall.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

I did not mean to infer that I liked the song. Just pointing out how ridiculous the lyrics are when seeing them in type.

Glenn (NY)

If the Raiders sent the 5 day letter to Seymour and he still doesn't show up can they still void the trade with NE?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Okay, folks, I'm out. Another bleepin' meeting. Have a great and safe weekend, everybody!

Drew (Buffalo)

How about the black eyed peas performing before the game last night.... that was...............weird...

chaz (sa tx)

Tom I thought you wore briefs not write them

Rajesh (Atlanta)

Very true I think Queen into AC/DC

john (panama city bch, fl)

Jim Breur- ur not thinkin with ur DipStick, Jimmy

Matt (Philly)

The problem is that isn't stuffed crust pizza!! They just stopped the cheese sooner than normal and then put different cheese on it!!

Pete (NC)

Think with your dipstick, JIMMY!

Neal (Philly)

That girl I was dating gave me the "it's not you, it's me" bit. She also expected me to be psychic.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

The trade has been approved by the league. It's not NE fault that the raiders can get their player

Jack (Chicago)

I love how all the expets ae drinking the Packers pre-season Kool Aid...pre-season people, remember who went 4-0 last year in the pre-season? Your 0-16 Lions. Bears will roll.

Chad (Las Vegas)

GA is for quitters. I actually is pretty responsible about gambling. I have a set amount for the whole year. If I lose it week 1 no gambling the rest of the season. But I have hit about 55% of my picks so it just keeps me going and buys me a couple of nice dinners.

The Most Interesting Man in the World (Dos Equis Commerical)

My friend, I can rock out to 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star'

Marc (Charlotte)

Doesn't it also depend on the time you will begin tailgating. If you start really early you may want to ease into the music and reach a crescendo during peak tailgate hours

dame cleve oh [via mobile]

Buzzmaster is micheal jeffery jordan the best to ever lace up a pair of sneakers in the nba

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

Depends who you ask. If you ask JB (TX), no. If you ask the other 4,999,999,999 people in the world, yes.

Nate (Madison)

Remember the Packers are a lot more talented and looked a lot better than the Lions last year. Sorry Jake, enjoy third place.

George Costanza (NYC)

I INVENTED THE "it's not you, it's me"!!!

Richard Seymour (Parts Unknown)

Psssst.....Buzz, I'm hanging out in your chat so I don't have to show up to the Raiders.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Hit me with some ONB!

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

Let's do it.....

Internet American Patriot Tough Guy (Cyberspace)

Bring on those terrorists. ITG will kick the crap outta those pansies. ITG has not forgotten...

fred (omaha)

buzz the rockies are only 2 out, are you ready for rocktober

chaz (sa tx)

(*crosses fingers) I hate to be superstitious(*knocks on wood) but did the madden curse ring a bell when polamalu got hurt?

ernie miami lakes fl [via mobile]

Possibility of seeing a UM VS UF national championship

RAY GORDON REID (TAMPAFLORIDA 33602)

MY COMMENT AT 10.35 NOW BUZZ BUZZ IS A NHL HOCKEY PUCK

Ben ((SW Ohio via Charlotte))

I'm just ONBin' here. Clinton is so old he is going to adversely possesses this chat. Get it? Good. Go Bucks.

Quentin (Green Bay)

I'm REALLY pumped about this NFL season. I am very confident that the Packers will make the playoffs. I think their defense is gonna be really good this year, thanks to Dom Capers, and their offense will have another great season. Hopefully they start out the year by destroying da Bears.

Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)

Even after 8 years, 9/11 is still painful for many Americans. I just wanted to say god bless all those that died that day, especially those that gave their lives up to save others.

Jesse (BB Jury House)

Buzz, should I take off my shirt? Why am I asking, of course I should take it off. Look at me, look at me. Aren't I pretty?

TO (Buffalo)

Getcha poptarts ready!

Ben Affleck (BuzzMansion front door)

Can I live your garage? I want to be near Matt.

Matt Damon (BuzzMansion)

Buzz, will you leave me alone? I said I MIGHT do a chat with you in December. MIGHT. Don't go around announcing anything, and quit bugging me about it. And go make me a sandwich.

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

And that's it....

john (panama city bch, fl)

Marc-Crescendo? I'm not a Maestro-what does that MEAN?

Marc (Charlotte)

Late with the ONB, aren't you Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

No....we do the ONB when we feel like doing the ONB. Stop being such a square.

CAL (St. Paul, MN)

You mean there are people in this world that think there is a better basketball player than Michael Jordan? Shame on you JB (TX)

Steve (NJ)

BOOOOOO Ben.

Al Gore (greenland)

Ahem.....George....I am the only inventor allowed in the MB!

Ryan (San Diego)

I always count my winnings from football bets in bacon wrapped filets. So far, I'm down one, so I'm at Taco Bell right now

Reggie (Boston)

Didn't the Rockies get thoroughly dominated last Rocktober??

Jonathan (Madtown)

Last Bears starting Super Bowl QB was only good enough to be the Packers back up when the Packers won the Super Bowl, enough said.

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

Gimme a break, dude. That was 10 years apart.

Chad (Las Vegas)

LOVED the 6 pt spread in lasts nights game. Thats for kicking a FG to win in OT and no TD.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

You know, the ONB wasn't half bad today.

al (dc)

Taco Bell has breakfast?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

The ONB just burned up a lot of my brain cells.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

If you want the ONB earlier ask for it

Nate (Madison)

Whoaaaaaa dude, no way dude.

Marc (Big D)

Not to mention that the Bears D would have shut out that Packers team.

john (panama city bch, fl)

New to the chat- what's an ONB?

Joe (KC)

MMMM Taco Bell at 7:30. Solid choice Ryan.

Neal (Philly)

The Rockies weren't playing last October. The Rays got dominated, however.

Lorraine (Hill Valley)

Marc don't be such a square. Anybody who's anybody takes the ONB whenever they can get it.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

BB and the ONB always give me 2 coffee breaks during a chat...works out perfectly.

Steve (NJ)

I like a nice 10:30 ONB.

Huey Lewis (Fore!)

It's hip to be square......

Reggie (Boston)

I said last Rocktober, Neal, not October.

Clay (Charlotte)

An ONB is a small, stupid animal that is very loud and makes people dumber by hearing it's song.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

I managed to twist my ankle to the point where when I put on my socks, the elastic makes indention's in my leg.

Chad (Las Vegas)

You can get a 6 lb Burritto at the NASCAR cafe at 7 am here in Vegas.

Jonathan (Madtown)

Taco Bell breakfast? Of course we all need a 1/2 pounder to start the day.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz now that football season has started, has Stephania Bell reinstated that restraining order against you?

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

Never was one.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm just glad I have a legitimate reason to hate Jay Cutler now.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hate him for the first half of every game and like him for the second half.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Rocktober is right after Wreckedtember right?

Dale (Chicago)

The onb is a lame excuse for filling up post slots.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I hate it when people come to my office , talking on a cell phone. Why can't they just do their busines and GET OUT?!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

The ONB is where ridiculous posts go to die.

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

If you google ONB SportsNation, the first 7 results are all ESPN related.

Scott (Brewtown)

post slots? Dale must work in a mail room.

Robbi's Boss (Clinton, KY)

I hate when people chat on TMB on my company's dime.

JB (TX)

I think I will ONB it one day and explain my entire Jordan rationale...

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

There's no such thing. There's nothing rational about your thoughts on Jordan.

Pete (NC)

I think Ryan was saying that his gambling winnings were at the Taco Bell level, not that he was actually at Taco Bell. I only know this because I also have my collar popped right now.

Jordan (Peoria)

Robbi's office is a bathroom?

Tom (Boston)

I always thought it would be fun to eat 2 1/2 pound burritos on an scale and literally watch myself gain a pound.

Buddy (Elf)

The mail room?? Ooh its sooo shiny and it smells like mushrooms!

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, I didn't know you had a quota on how many posts you had to...well post.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Don't whine about the ONB. If we didn't have it, tools like Rastall would actually be in the chat.

Nate (Madison)

Bears defense is old, overrated now. Cutler has no legit WR's, at least that will keep the Packers D up at night, to throw to. Cutler is overrated right now. Yep, GB is worried.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Maybe overrated, but the Bears defense isn't old. But I wouldn't say much, seeing as how the Packers D was more turrible than the Bears last year.

Q (Jersey)

My question for you buzz is are you the original buzz or a new less improved, fatter, more predjudiced with his posts buzz. I notice you have been ending the chat a little earlier that used to be done

Buzzmaster

  (10:43 AM)

11 a.m. comes earlier now?

JB (TX)

I hate to agree w/the drunks in Wisconsin but I like the Packers in the NFC this year.

Brett Favre (Minnesota)

how come nobody has mentioned me yet??? so I will do it myself.

Pete (NC)

Tom, but because you're holding the burrito on the scale, it's already calculated into the weight on the scale.

Tom (Chicago)

I think we should just give Wisconsin and Minnesota to Canada...hell the already talk like they are Canadian. Plus, with cheese coming out of CA, do we really need Wisconsin at all? Sausages from Illinois are better anyway.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Uhhhhh, that's a big negative. I want Wisconsin cheese more than California cheese.

Tom (Chicago)

Won't the Bears D be helped by an O that doesn't go 3 and out all the time and move the ball to help with field position?

Marc (Charlotte)

Is it me or did Rastall actually post something that can't be mocked? Tom working, Rastall not sucking? That 9/9/9 theory is starting to sound pretty good.

john (panama city bch, fl)

"Turrible"- isn't that a Mohammed Ali word?

Steve (NJ)

On behalf of NJ, I'm putting Q on the disavowed list.

Don (San Francisco)

Every time Buzz posts a message... a little boy in some poor faraway country still goes hungry.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Who cares about the Bears or Packers? The Saints are going to the Super Bowl!

The Old Man (Hulman )

It says Fra-gee-lay...must be Italian.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

john from panama needs to take the MB chat tutorial. Can someone provide him with the link?

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

Go to the Facebook page.

Don (San Francisco)

Damnit Buzz, our cheese is good!

Marc (Big D)

Ah some fresh trash talking. I love football season.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Happy cheese comes from happy cows!

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

I don't care about happy cheese. I want some darn cheese that tastes good.

Ed Hochuli (TMB Ref)

That's 15 yards on John. That's CHarles Barkley, son!

Clay (Charlotte)

Chad, you know how defense wins championships...have you looked at the Saint's defense?

Tomwit NJ [via mobile]

Baked beans and pineapples for lunch! The wife likes the Hawaiian music afterward.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I will just sit quietly and wait to see how things play out for the Vikings. No sense to talk trash before I know if the team is really any good.

Nate (Madison)

Cows aren't happy when they are running from fires every year. (sorry, that's a Brian quote from last year)

Steve (NJ)

Vermont cheddar > Wisco cheddar.

Charles Barkley (with Lady Buzz)

NO, turrrrrible is MY WORD!!!!

Clay (Charlotte)

I don't want my cheese happy. I want my cheese delicious.

Steve (LA)

Buzz, your pallette is so refined that you can tell the difference between CA and WI cheese? Come on...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I must say this chat moved briskly today.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Last time I Checked, cheese, as an inanimate object, can not be happy.

john (panama city bch, fl)

Nah, I'll be back @ First Take, mon. I can dish as well as take,lol (bring on the chat ref for that LOL)

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

Taunting the chat ref, I like it. john, you come back to these parts.

Nick (White)

Then you want cheese made by Amish...It's the best

dame oh [via mobile]

Yeah! J.b there's no way u can rationalize not like'n Mr.Micheal jeffrey Jordan wake up he only won statistical catergorie multiple times. Gotta love'em

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

Anyone translate crazy?

Chad (Las Vegas)

France makes the best cheese so can we trade Wisconsin for France?

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

France makes good fancy cheese. But what about good ol' smoked cheddah or gouda or muenster? That's good stuff right there.

Nate (Madison)

I don't think you've had true WI cheese, otherwise this argument wouldn't have lasted past about 2 posts.

Don (San Francisco)

Our cheese is tanner, organic and probably has a cocaine-habit.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Clay, ever heard of the St. Louis Rams greatest show on turf. Great O mediocre D. That is all the Saints need is a top 15 D. And I didn't say they would win the SB just that they would go.

john (panama city bch, fl)

Say the word, Buzz- Crazy is more than a language- it's a way of life!!

Nate (Madison)

Hey, if you want to exchange us for France, I'm fine with it. As long as we actually move over there.....for the girls in the surrounding countries of course....and get their healthcare system.

Ryan (San Diego)

Gotta love 'em? Last time I checked 'em is short for them...who else besides Jordan are we loving? Luc Longley?

Brian (Madison, WI)

I feel like Wisconsin is an expiring contract. You guys are always trying to trade us.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Translation: MJ was good.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Immediate Ejection for John. No "LOL's" allowed, and definitely no questioning my authority.

ITG (on the airwaves)

hey john....after you deal with the ref, you still have me to contend with!

Nate (Madison)

This talk reminds me of Old School....cheeeeeeeeeeese.

Marc (Big D)

Finally, this chat got some cheese to go with all of the whine.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

What is there besides true WI cheese? False WI cheese?

Ed (DC)

france only makes good fries and toast. nothing else.

Steve (NJ)

Munster is Irish cheese, Gouda being Dutch. Emmenthaler is a fine Swiss cheese. Gjetost is a smoked, carmelized Goat cheese from Norway.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Let me try the translation: Mr. Best Buy, you cannot possibly believe that Michael Jordan is not the best basketball player of all time. He often led the league in several different statistical categories. You must love Michael Jordan.How'd I do?

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

Dunno. Don't speak crazy.

Chad (Las Vegas)

French food and wine is pretty spectacular.

Tom (Boston)

Didn't we lock you in a dumpster one time?

JB (TX)

I never mock the chat ref. The fat chat host, however, is easily mockable. You know, because he's fat.

Cory (PA)

Lunch: Happy, fancy, delicious cheese

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Speaking of food and cheese...LUNCH CHAT: Burger with a slice of WI cheddar, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mustard. Onion rings for my side. Iced tea for my beverage. That's throwing health right out the window right there.

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: Sammich, Chips, Nutty Bars

al (nyc)

I got out.

Nate (Madison)

Tom, yeah....I got out.

Marc (Charlotte)

Havarti is a great Danish cheese.

I Man (Nor Cal)

Cheese head..!!

Drew (Buffalo)

Lunch: I'm thinking Arbys... but probably going to go to Burger King

Neal (Philly)

Lunch: microwave meal

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: McDonald's

Fake Clinton (Indyanappollis)

Lunch: Frito scoopables and cheese, washed down with bottled water

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Lunch: Pizza Hut buffet

Mike Golic (ESPN)

POTROAST!!!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I gotta go. Everyone have good weekend. See y'all Tuesday. Bye.

JB (TX)

Lunch: I'm thinkin Whataburger. Anyway, you can easily argue Jordan as the best of all time, best of his era, whatever, and be right. I'm just saying the gap btwn 1 and 2 isn't as great as you all think. And when people list him as one of the greatest college players ever it's an absolute joke. Anyway, have a good weekend. SC 34 OSU 20. And Buzz, you're still fat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:55 AM)

I don't know if I've ever heard anyone make a strong case for him being the best college basketball player. I don't think people are making that case.

Ryan (San Diego)

Lunch: Block of cheese, CA style of course

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Pfft.. I only eat cheese in aerosol format.

Scott (Brewtown)

Marc, I would rather have a cheese danish than Danish cheese

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh geez I almost forgot. Thanks for putting my question to Mort on the 'Overheard,' section of the chat board yesterday, Buzz. That was cool of you to do.

Putty (NYC)

Arby's....high five.

Melanie (Seattle)

early 8am breakfast meeting here. have a great weekend one and all and most importantly, be safe! Peace!

Nate (Madison)

Lunch...no idea. Early release day, so might skip it in order to get out even earlier.

Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)

Lunch: Greatness

LenDale White (Nashville)

Lunch: Crow and a terrible towel (lost a bet)

Carlos Zambrano (Chicago)

For lunch I will be eating an entire heard of wilderbeast, with fries and a redbull.

Peyton Manning (Indy)

Meatloaf in my Mercedes

Clay (Charlotte)

Alright guys, have a great weekend, be safe. We'll see ya Monday, which happens to be my birthday...I wanna present Buzz. Peace.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Despite it being short, another great week of MB chat everyone. Enjoy the first full weekend of NFL games. Free Sunday Ticket preview for all you DirecTV people. For those who play, best of luck in your Fantasy Football Leagues this weekend. Have a great day and catch you all back here Monday. Later.

Marat (Albany,NY)

Hey Golic should I put Brady Quinn in for week one of leave Joey Galloway

Tom (Boston)

Melo is the best college player. 1 year, 1 championship. See ya.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Stupid question: College Gameday crew is going to be at Columbus, OH, this weekend, right?

Buzzmaster

  (10:57 AM)

Yes?

Marc (Charlotte)

He wasn't the best college player ever, but seeing as though he was National College Player of the Year, he certainly wasn't a bad one.

Tom (Boston)

After pizza hut lunch buffet you might as well go home cause your afternoon is useless.

john (panama city bch, fl)

Can't wait to re-join Dana Jacobsen. Speaking of relevant sports talk, she would lead you all down the primrose path, AND school you on Romantic Comedys

Marc (Charlotte)

Scott, try Havarti, its awesome. Kind of a milder taste than swiss, but much creamier

Eric Mangini (Cleveland)

Lunch will either be a sandwich or pizza. I am not going to reveal my choice, to confuse you chatters...ha!

Bud Light's Real Men of Genius (St Louis)

Today we salute you, the first person in history to look at milk and say hey, lets try and turn this into something edible and call it 'cheese.'

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Melo? Why do you hate Bill Walton and Lou Alcindor?

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Can't talk about romantic comedies. doctor orders

Putty (NYC)

People may hate this, but Christian Laettner played in 23 of 24 possible NCAA tourney games...has to be in the discussion of best NCAA player ever.

ryan seacrest (hollywood)

basking in my $45M contract. seacrest out!

Steve (NJ)

Lunch: hoot dogs.

Q (Jersey)

10:56 and chatters are signing out

CAL (St. Paul, MN)

Have a good one Buzz.

Nate (Madison)

(Throwing my highlighter at Putty)

JB (TX)

I hate Christian Laettner but Putty is right.

Scott (Brewtown)

I hope everybody, sans Rastall, has a great weekend.

Kate (Boston)

Bye!

Chad (Las Vegas)

No Paula Abdul. Idol might actually be watchable. Wait they still have the bad singers. Nevermind.

Pete (NC)

Marvin Williams was one and done with a ring as well.

Nate (Madison)

I love when the guy in the cube next to me cracks open a can of pop and goes "Who wants a beer?"

Steve (NJ)

It's 11:00 on my compy, Q.

john (panama city bch, fl)

I WATCHED 23 of the 24 games, am I HOF material?

Nate (Madison)

Everyone have a good weekend, and support your local brewery. OSU 27 USC 21. Michigan 21 ND 20

Pete (NC)

So did anyone else who played four years with Laettner. That's not a good argument.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Have a good weekend SN, stay thirsty.

I Man (Nor Cal)

Basketball HOF lets go Jordan...and lets not forget Robinson, Sloan, and Stockton...

Buzzmaster

  (11:02 AM)

All right everyone. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy all the great football this weekend. We'll be back again Monday. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

Marc (Charlotte)

Don't lie Nate, you are conditioned to hear that noise and think about beer. I bet your mouth starts watering.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I want a beer! I want a beer!

Drew (Buffalo)

Good week Buzz, enjoy your weekend. As well as everyone else. Don't eat too much

Chad (Las Vegas)

Nate gie me USC and 5 and ND and 2 and we can bet on those games.

Ben (NC)

College basketball player extrordinaire...Bobby Hurley

Nate (Madison)

Marc, you're right. Just like Homer Simpson.
