Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Gooooooooooood morning!
Marc (Charlotte)
Dennis Quaid, Buzz? You deserve a raise. I can't believe I just said that.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Happy Humpday!
Jeff (Iowa)
Buzz, I am sorry I can't be a regular groupie anymore. The farm keeps me busy day and night since the economy forced me to having just me and my family run it. Dorito crops are looking good
Neal (Philly)
I'll miss Hank Baskett. I look forward to seeing him in another uniform catching 80 plus yard TDs.
Cory (PA)
Gd Mrning all. Buzz stle all the "o"'s. It was all I culd d t save that 1.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So, Daniel Ray Herrera comes in, gets one guy out, and gets the win. Must be nice!
Drew (Buffalo)
Morning all....
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, I didn't read the Jericho Cotchery transcript, but are you sure he said he eats Clam Chowder before every meal? Like as an appetizer?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Ooops. Game. Every game. I'm changing.
Bob (Lowell)
still on vaca but back from the beach.
chaz (sa tx)
hurry up buzz you're gonna be late. Longhorns.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, folks! Hope everyone's having a good one so far!
JB (TX)
Hank Baskett getting cut further proves my point that Bridget was the hottest Girl Next Door. How? I don't know, I just felt like bringing up her name again.
Jorge P. (New York)
Buzz, don't mess with me. I'm not afraid to scuffle.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Watch out, here come the Cubs.........no really, here they come.
Drew (Buffalo)
Case Keenum did a great job chatting yesterday.
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
He was fantastic.
Pete (NC)
Fact: The Big Brother winner is from my hometown. And that will be my only BB comment ever.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
I can't believe Jordan won. She was the underdog, but she won when she needed to. Better than either of the other two snakes winning.
Cory (PA)
What are the odds of Rob Neyer making his chat? I won't pretend to know his schedule but it seems he misses it at least once a week.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
First, he chats once a week. Second, I think he's missed it a couple of times in the years that I've been here. Yesterday he was working on the blog and time got away from him. Take it easy killer.
Jorge (NYC)
Ok carlson, you want a piece of me?
Marc (Big D)
Bought 'Lost Symbol' yesterday. Seems pretty formulaic so far but I am only like 20 pages in. Then again he has sold like 100 million books so if it ain't broke I guess you don't fix it.
Scott (Brewtown)
At first glance I thought he said Casey Casem, and I was about to be ill
JB (TX)
Pulled a Nate and Brian last night, paying the price this morning. Uggh...
Matt (MA)
whats up Sportsnation !
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
We find out tonight if the guy from my hometown wins America's Got Talent.
Cory (PA)
Yeah I realize I came across as IWG, I apologize for my tone.
JB (TX)
Dennis Quaid: another Houstonian. Good get, Buzz.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Don't let the Cubs reel you in, they are just setting you up for disappointment. They have been doing this for a good month now. Win a few, start creeping back into the wild card race, and then BAM! 3 game losing streak.
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
Sorry to break it to you but the Cubs ain't got a shot at the wild card.
Jordan (Peoria)
Golfing with vendors today...Going to be perfect!
Christian (High Point, NC)
The Lost Symbol was horrible. Don't read it. Utter crap. I've linked to a full review on the Facebook page.
Brian (Madison, WI)
You pulled a Nate and Brian on Tuesday night? Nice!
tom (pa)
the signing of garcia could mean that kolb(cob)'s days are numbered.
Clay (Charlotte)
Morning Buzz, how 'bout that brawl?
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
Didn't see it.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
The Cubs have made up 5 games in the wild card standings the last 8 games, then they have Drew Barrymore sing the stretch last night. It's a lock. Didn't you ever see Fever Pitch?
Don (San Francisco)
I think all chatters should be free to set their own times, like Kurt Busch today. Everything doesn't need to be top of the hour.
Raymond (Baltimore)
Gooooooood Morning MB, I'm back! No one care? Ok, I'll sit over here...
Ty Webb (Bushwood)
I don't play golf...for money...against people
Brian (Madison, WI)
That's what I was saying Buzz.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, you see that story about the John Hopkins med student killing an intruder with a samurai sword?
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
I didn't.
Jeff (BB Jury House)
Buzz, talking to you is like talking to a road cone. Get in your spaceship and fly away.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Jeff, you were awesome in your comments to the mean-spirited people on that show.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, I got a $25 gift cert to Amazon.com for my birthday, any suggestions?
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
52" flat panel TV.
Kevin (BB House)
I can't believe I lost to that air-head Jordan in the final HOH competition. I would have just destroyed either Jordan or Natalie in the end!
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
I dunno. After seeing some of the votes last night, it would have been close.
Jordan (Peoria)
The Cubs have 4 teams to jump in the WC and the Cards would have to go like 2-13 for them to win the central
Nate (Madison)
BB talk? Time for a nap.
Marc (Big D)
I love Comedy Central for showing the fish sticks episode of South Park like 4 times in a row yesterday. Just perfect.
The Suits (ESPN)
Buzz, we told you only the special guest can start at non-top of the hour times. We want you there at 10:00 sharp! Now get me some coffee!
Brian (Madison, WI)
College students are carrying samurai swords nowadays? I guess I can't say much, I own an African tribal spear.
Clay (Charlotte)
Nate I saw that, which cool, good for him. But he did just let the entire world that he owns a samurai sword, which is sorta proof that you're a loser unless you have a black belt in something.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Cubs are 5.5 back with less than 20 to go, and would have to jump four teams to get the WC. Sorry, SteveFitz, it's not happening.
Marc (Big D)
Nate, I heard right after he said 'there can only be one'.
Marc (Big D)
Did you get a early copy or something Christian. If you are going by a critic I will happily read it and form my own opinion. I learned early in my life that most critics are horribly detached from the general population.
Matt (IN)
BB talk? Must..try...to...stay...awake.
Clay (Charlotte)
Brian, I'm not sure I would admit that in public.
Fake Nate (Madison)
BB talk? Time for a beer...Any talk? time for a beer
Neal (Philly)
There's hope for you, Buzz. The Indiana Court of Appeals is forcing a fat chef's employer to pay for weight loss surgery because his on-the-job injury won't get better until he loses weight.
Matt (Worcester, MA)
So week 3 do you put Vick or are you going to let Garcia steal the show
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
People! Vick is NOT starting at QB Week 3. He's not going to start any games at QB this year.
JB (TX)
I don't watch Big Brother, but I'm quite confident Jordan on that show was overrated.
Christian (High Point, NC)
So this is the last BB chat for a year, right?
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
I might bring it back daily just to tick all you people off.
Scott (Brewtown)
Heading upnorth again this weekend to enjoy the 20th and 21st straight days of nothing but sunshine. Little does my family know, however that we will be leaving at 8am on Sunday in order to be home in time to see the Packer game.
Wes (Big D)
Hey Marc. Nice to have some friendly people on this chat. This is gonna be Romo's year.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Marc, if you liked his other books, you will be fine. expect the same, in a different location.
Clay (Charlotte)
Matt, why would you start someone who is going to be on the bench?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I generally ignore literary and music critics. Movie critics, on the other hand, I usually find their reviews helpful.
Don (San Francisco)
Big Brother talk: I watched a lot of football over at my big brother's place last weekend. The end.
Christian (High Point, NC)
My apartment roommate in college had a farming scythe (with the long handle and wide blade, not the style you use in Halloween costumes). Impressive looking, but tough to use in close spaces.
Marc (Big D)
Buzz will probably start a 'This Date in BB History' retrospective at 10 after the hour.
Julie Chen (BB)
I would like to announce that we may be doing a winter BB again this year. And I will be wearing Snuggies on every show.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
Was that a Snuggie or a mumu last night or a poncho?
Andy Reid (Philly)
Uh Buzz, since when do you call the shots around here? Now go get me another cheesesteak.
Neal (Philly)
I wish that was the case for Kolb, Buzz.
Ben (Madison, WI)
Buzz, I have to go take a quiz on corporate accounting. What do you know about the IRS?
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
Don't tick them off.
Nate (Madison)
I ignore movie critics, usually find that the user ratings on yahoo by normal people to be more helpful.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Clinton, if the Braves and Marlins lose tonight and the Cubs win, they already jump 2 teams in the standings. They also have 4 games left vs the Giants. It's all within reach with 19 gams to go.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
No, it's not within reach. Still mathematically possible, but not within reach. The Cubs have to go 15-4 and the Rockies 9-10.
Brian (Madison, WI)
SteveFitz, don't let them reel you in.
Timmy (Lost in Space)
BB basball or basketball?
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Always stay away from anything that uses the alphabet to identify themselves. FBI, CIA, IRS....
Willie Nelson (via mobile)
The IRS is a bunch of crooks!
Nate (Madison)
BB...zzzzz...corporate accounting...ZZZZZZZZZZZ
Don (San Francisco)
IRS's finishing move in the WWF was the Write-Off
Neal (Philly)
When I log onto facebook, an ad keeps showing up for Penn State snuggies. I will NEVER get a snuggie.
Christian (High Point, NC)
My opinion of Lost Symbol appears to be in the minority so far (based on other reviews); most people are finding it acceptable. But I have a huge issue with the last 100 pages of the book.
Tom (River North)
When a friend of mine was getting his Masters of Accounting, his thesis was about how the IRS should be disbanded. It was pretty convincing.
Cory (PA)
I have an innate sense of which movies my friends and I shall find unwatchable. My friend has an innate ability to ignore that advice, watch said movie, damn me and tell me I was right
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
Alright Buzz, quit ignoring me because I can't stand this any longer. That's 15 yards against SteveFitz for being delusional. It remains 1st down.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Ben, I work in accounting. The less you hear from the IRS the better.
Big Z (breakfast buffet)
You know what else is within reach? This short stack of pancakes. Pass the syrup!
Neal (Philly)
Nate's girlfriends fear INS.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
The Cubs have had a productive year from Alfonso Sorry-ano.
Drew (Buffalo)
Went to a comedy night at a local club last night for the first time, to my surprise the comedians were great. Great place to take a lady friend to.
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
Going to a comedy club tonight for a fundraiser. Hoping it's a good time.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Robbi, yet you are on a chat on ESPN
Scott (Brewtown)
The only reason the Cubs are winning right now is because they are facing that powerhouse staff of the Nashville Sounds...er.....Milwaukee Brewers
Jim (Del)
Christian remember two words....Fiction and Novel
Clinton (Indianapolis)
What Jason won't tell you is that it took him three hours to come up with a lame version of Soriano. Weaksauce, man.
Conspiracy Nut (Everywhere)
The IRS is part of the Illuminati! Fortunately the Illuminati is opposed to Colonel Sanders.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Oh Buzz, I love comedy clubs. Always a good time.
Nate (Madison)
Neal, it's no longer the INS...it's under ICE now. (
Steve (NJ)
Ok, so I DON'T have to go to Philly today for a meeting. I love finding this stuff out at the last possible second.
Marc (Charlotte)
The only chance the Cubs have is if the Mets are the only team in front of them.
Acorn Employee (Anytown USA)
Don't worry, there are plenty of ways to evade taxes.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, sit in the front row so the comedian can make fun of you...you know, cause you're fat.
Drew (Buffalo)
Whatever you do, don't be the guy who participates from the audience... .it's super annoying. You don't seem like that kind of guy at all, Buzz, but this is a warning to others (chaz)
Clay (Charlotte)
Tom, that's actually a pretty popular opinion. Mike Huckabee was a big proponant of that in the last election.
tom* (parkville, md)
Having a sword in downtown Baltimore seems like a good idea to me.
Neal (Philly)
Nice one, Marc. I love any shot at the Mets, even if they are in a down year.
Gary (Memphis)
Carlos Zambrano. Is he still pitching and then eating or eating and then pitching. P.S. cubs are going nowhere.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Let me clarify... anything law related. Anything that has the ability to put you in jail, or deport you.
Steve (NJ)
I realize it's not lunch chat, but I was really looking forward to going to Geno's for lunch.
Banya (Comedy Club)
Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round, the jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.
Steve (CHARLESTON)
PATRIOTS lousy play was do to the old uniforms and symbol. played like they did in the 60's, 70's, 80's. Only dif was Brady and the new mentallity....I say stay away from the old uniforms and symbol......what you say?
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
I say those uniforms are awesome and need to be used more.
Adam (syracuse,ny)
I think SteveFitz (Cicero, IL) is under the assumption the Cubs can go 15-4...even though they haven't had a run like that ALL YEAR. Plus, when your ace of the year is Ted Lilly you're going nowhere
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
How dare you? How dare you make me defend Ted Lilly. He's not a hard throwing No. 1, but he's a pretty good pitcher.
Steve (NJ)
Actually Drew, I once was at a comedy club in KY and the guy on stage was so bad, I heckled him. And was a lot funnier. The owner gave me a gig emceeing on Tuesday nights
Carlos Zambrano (Chicago)
I love when the weather forecast is cloudy with a chance of meatballs.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Did anyone else think that the refs looked like a barber shop quartet with those shirts on?
Tom (River North)
I liked the old uniforms too. Hated the refs uniforms. Looked like popsicles.
Godish (Chicago)
Going up to Madison for a wedding on Saturday. On a scale from Nate to Brian, how drunk should I get?
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Well, if you're going to Madison, you're going to have to be a full out Nate and Brian. I'm pretty sure at the gate to get into the city, they won't let you in unless you're already stumbling and slurring.
Marc (Charlotte)
I loved the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs book when I was younger. I just hope the movie holds up to the book.
Luke (IA)
Rocks have series left with Dodgers and Cards..not 9 losses but could be 4-6 losses right there
Cory (PA)
GRARRRRR!!! Buzz shall defend Ted Lilly's honor! Soriano can go make a Drano martini, however.
Matt (Worcester, MA)
The cubs are not going on a 15-4 run but you can't stop a cubs fans spirt...
Big Z (via mobile)
I actually tried to eat Ted's arm once. Had the hot sauce on it and everything. Lou stopped me though.
Scott (Brewtown)
Since there were no words in that book, will the movie be a silent screener?
Christian (High Point, NC)
Godish: Is your normal consumption at least Nate level? Aim for Nate if you're looking to land a bridesmaid, Brian if not. If you don't normally pull at least a Nate, you may not want to attempt one. They're professionals up there.
Neal (Philly)
I was invited to a wedding in November, but without a guest. Needless to say I will not be attending.
Mitch (Dallas, TX)
FYI...Jordan rocks. She desreved it.How many games does Posada get?I am headed to the golf course...I love vendor trips.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Tell Godish that thats like having your amp at 10 or 11. It doesnt matter.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, how about the ONB...
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
Let's do it....
Xavier (Gaston, SC)
Do u ever think L.T will be the same running back again?
Jonathan Mason (Marion VA)
I know that Panthers fans are agitated with Delhomme, but dont you think that they should wait and watch his performance for a while, before jumping on him
Steve (Charleston, SC)
I blame the old uniforms and symbol which only stood for heartbreak after heartbreak after heartbreak. I'll take the new look and new Patriots anytime! What do you think?
Breck (Havelock NC)
When will the Major League adopt the bench clearing rule that the NBA has? I think it is appalling to see a fight break out and then have the bullpen players run in and have the benches clear.
mark braa (garretson s. d.)
I want to comment on Tom Brady not stopping so Suzy Kolber could interview him after the game. He showed just how big of a jerk he really is.
mills (tallahassee)
anybody here? i have a question
Jesse (OUT of the BB Jury House)
Now every night is Thursday night. Now the whole world can see me shirtless all the time. Look at me!
Jared (Salt Lake City)
I am a huge LSU Tiger fan and for once I will kind of proud of Jamarcus Russell. Really he should have had 2 TDs. But he did a great job and hope to see more from him.
Ryan (Louisiana)
Has the league announced anything on the suspension of Will Smith and Charles Grant?
kyle (michigan)
how many games will the lions win
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
And that's it...
Clay (Charlotte)
9 INTs in 2 games...I've seen enough.
Scott (Brewtown)
Wow! Some 70 year old guy just came into the bank with bike racing spandex on. My eyes!! They burn!!!
Fake Clinton (Indianapolis)
I just wanted to point out that the whippersnapper yesterday who said my favorite actor is Clark Gable is wrong. Charlie Chaplin is the man!
Nate (Madison)
I like Christian's advice. Godish, in advance of Saturday, I'd like to welcome you to the big show.
Drew (Buffalo)
So, Leodis McKelvins house was vandalized after the game..... you stay classy, Buffalo. Makes me proud to live in this city.
Marc (Charlotte)
Did Mitch just unleash a stream of consciencness on us?
Steve (NJ)
I think Godish will have to do one of those flamingo-bong-things Brian was so worked up about.
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
Oh yeah...I was at a bar last Saturday and a bachelorette party comes in and sits at the table next to us. They got some drinks and then one of them pulls out an inappropriately themed beer bong. Kinda hilarious.
Brian (Madison, WI)
You'll see plenty of pink flamingos to do the flabongo since our dumb city made it the official city bird and all.
Greg (Ellicott City)
You keep outdoing yourself this week Buzz -------->
stephanie (cincy)
did we really need todays onb. saw carson palmer at the local diner last night. nice guy.
Chase (NY)
why doesn't anyone respect the phillies.....again?!?!?
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
They've only been called the best team in the NL for most of the season. I'm pretty sure they're respected.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Let me put my review of The Lost Symbol in terms we'd all understand: you're better off reading 500 pages of the ONB.
Nate (Madison)
This past Saturday we were down by the stadium, didn't see any flamingo bongs. But did see a couple beer bongs that started at the 2nd floor of a house and ended at some persons face on the ground.
Nate (Madison)
Phils not respected in Chase's eyes = they weren't talked about for about 15min.
Carson Palmer (Cincy)
Saw steph (cincy) at the local diner last night. Was only nice to her because she threatened to stab me.
Jack (NB Canada)
Did the girls make u drink out of it Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Uhhhhh, that's a no. It was also very funny to watch the guys at the bar try to come over and chat it up with the group only to be sent packing.
Frank the Tank (Old School)
WE'RE ALL GOING STREAKING! THRU THE QUAD!!!
Cory (PA)
Chase, I'm a Phillies fan too, but dude. You need to settle down. No one is talking about the Phillies because there is no way in a very hot place that they lose the division.
Pete (NC)
Didn't the Rockies win like 21 or 22 or something to barely make the playoffs a few years back? We're not talking probable, just possible.
Greg (Ellicott City)
To most, drinking is a passtime. In Wisconson, its an art form.
Steve (NJ)
This confuses me, Buzz. Have you ever been to a bachelor party where the guys drink out of plastic genitalia? Me neither. But women think going to see an 'adult-themed dance ensemble' is disgusting.
Ted (Wisc)
Nolan Reimold? must be a slow day in Bristol, whats next....Steve Balboni
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
Reimold's a candidate for Rookie of the Year, smarty pants.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Tom Hanks is already filming the movie 'The Lost Symbol'.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Ok ok, no more Cubs talk. Anyone see the welt on that Blue Jay head after the brawl? It wasn't Hasim Rahman like, but yikes.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I'd take "not talked about much and winning a title" over "talked about to death and not winning a title" every time.
Greg (Ellicott City)
You mean through the Quaid...
Nate (Madison)
I agree Steve. Women look at bachelor parties going to strip clubs as annoying, etc. Yet they have their parties with all these adult themed things and checklists for random guys, and that's acceptable.
tom* (parkville, md)
Steve, don't try to understand women. Just nod.
Ryan (San Diego)
I got roped in to serenading the bride at this club a few months ago. I tried to work my game on a couple of the other girls after but it's no use. Impossible to try and break one off from the pack...either that or my singing was terrible. Probably both
New York Mets (2007)
There is no way we lose a 7 game lead with 17 to play. We're going to be NL East champs!
Neal (Philly)
Ryan, it was the popped collar.
Clay (Charlotte)
Fact: Men with popped collars who sing poorly have no shot at the ladies.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I refuse to drink out of any inappropriate container. It's simply not classy.
George Garrett (University of Rhode Island)
McKelvin's yard got trashed... Maybe you shouldn't have made the dumbest decision in the whole game. But I still think it's messed up.
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
People need to relax. Trashing someone's house over a football game? Gimme a break.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Everybody's All American was a good movie. Not really but it was about LSU.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
We near Baltimore salute the Reimold nod. I will actually praise you for scheduling him. (shivers)
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
Good job Grason.
George Garrett (University of Rhode Island)
Anybody here about the Legacy little league coach? Told his team to let up a run in the bottom of the 6th because he forgot to put a kid in the game and they would have had to forefit if they won in 6 innings. He got suspended indefinitely by Little League officials
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
I hadn't heard that. But I'm surprised he wasn't praised. He was making sure that everyone plays and no one's feelings get hurt. Isn't that the name of the game?
Marc (Big D)
Anyone else think he may have thought he caught the ball on the 1? We would be roasting him if he tried to down the ball and ended up with a safety too.
Clay (Charlotte)
When App State beat Michigan, they tore down the goal post at the stadium in Boone. The game was in Michigan. Apparently it was left in front of the dean's house.
Chase (NY)
i'm sorry, i just don't buy the NY/BOS/ANA/LA buzz that everyone buys into each and every year.....
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Sad part is, Buzz, you'll probably get about a quarter of the people who'll say that trashing the guy's yard was completely justified. There's a whole lot of crazy out there.
JB (TX)
Here's the thing about Bachelorette parties: they're a mirage. Yeah, you see 7 or 8 chicks apparently having drinks and partying, but really it's 2 girls actually having fun, 2 texting their boyfriends, 2 who got dragged there kicking and screaming, and one who's like an old cousin/young aunt who's there to make sure they stay safe.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
It's on Rick Reilly blog Buzz, he told the pitcher to throw wild pitches, and when it wasn't enough, the catcher started throwing over the pitcher head
Little League Parent (Everywhere)
No the name of the game is to win at all costs!
Cory (PA)
Marc, its not that he ran it back...But that he fought for extra yardage in that situation. Thats holding up a big "Please take this ball from me" sign.
Serena Williams (Florida)
Trashing that yard was totally necessary. He is lucky I didn't shove a %$^^*(# tennis ball down his throat!
Borat (Kazakistan)
When is ESPN Kazakistan starting up? Is that after ESPN Toledo?
Drew (Buffalo)
Especially when I put more of the blame on Keith Ellison since Ben Watson smoked him on both TD passes on the exact same route, and the only reason Ellison is on the team is for his "coverage skills"
Clinton (Indianapolis)
*facepalm* It's Kazakhstan, Borat. EPIC FAIL.
Nate (Madison)
I love it when guys waste time trying to hit on the actual bachelorette.
Nate (Madison)
I bet about 95% of the NFL returnmen run that ball out.
Jordan (Peoria)
I blame ESPN
Cory (PA)
Clinton, don't respond to Borat...otherwise he'll never go away. Or we'll get a moie about an Australian house painter touring America.
Marc (Big D)
Would I donate my brain to science? That is the deepest SN question I have seen.
Clay (Charlotte)
I blame Rastall
Kanye West (LA)
Tom Brady is good but McKelvin is awesome
George (URI)
Sitting in Calculous right now... Professor is trying to teach integrals and all I can think about is the NASCAR race I am going to this weekend.... I blame sports for my bad grades.
Mitch (Dallas, TX)
But 95% of NFL returnmen don't fumble it in that situation.
Brett Farve (Minn.)
Brett Favre did not hear Brett Favre's name today. I haven't retired....yet.
Scott (Brewtown)
I don't think science would be interested in any reader of the mb's brains
tom* (parkville, md)
Hey, if science can find my brain, they can have it.
Drew (Buffalo)
Why would science want any of the MBers or SNers brains?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I voted yes on the donation of the brain to science. You can't take it with you, so why not?
Jordan (Peoria)
I blame Grasonmerms
David (Banning)
I return to the MB only to see sports talk. I blame Buzz.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Let me get this straight Buzz. We accept that the drunk twins from Madison are different people but Ellicott City can only have a population of 1?
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
Yes, Grason.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I voted yes too, I'm sure they would take it, being that it had never been used
Mitch (Dallas, TX)
Not sure what we are blaiming here...but my money is on Al Gore.
Drew Brees (New Orleans)
Brett you aren't relevant anymore. I am da man. They even love me in Kiln.
Cory (PA)
Sorry tom*...I think they need a few more advances in atomic force microscopy first.
Clay (Charlotte)
I donate my brain to Buzz, I'm going to have it bronzed and sent to your house. You can put it on your mantel and always think of me.
Scott (Brewtown)
Gotta run to ameeting in another building. Have a good day everyone. Lunch: Taco Bell
Brian (Madison, WI)
I might be drunk, but I am not Nate's twin. I am far more handsome.
Clay (Charlotte)
I'm with Buzz on that one Grason.
Jordan (Peoria)
This is like Steinymerms version 2
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
I already made that comment yesterday Greg. And I prefer Jareg, Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Yes you did Grason.
Cory (PA)
I'll donate my brain to Hannibal Lector. I'd be delicious!
Jordan (Peoria)
I just donate my food to Buzz because I know it is appreciated
Ryan (San Diego)
Can't be doing too well in calculus if you can't spell it right
Christian (High Point, NC)
Since I plan on dying via spontaneous internal combustion, I don't think science will get the opportunity to trepann my skull.
Marc (Big D)
I am really considering pulling a Costanza and napping under my desk.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
All of our brains together probably wouldn't make one good one.
Troy (miami)
New England's going to have a tough year if they dtruggled to beat the Bills,as in the team who hasn'nt gone to the playoffs since the 90's
Steve (NJ)
Spontaneous internal combustion? What are you, a carburetor?
Alex (Littleton, CO)
A little bit edgy in here for a hump day. Its not monday everyone!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Well, considering that both of them are on the Facebook group, I'd say yes, they are two different people. You on the other hand, I'm not sure.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Lunch: Grilled rag bologna,with bell peppers and onions, unsweet tea.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Pitch-in at work. Since my cooking skills are subpar at best, I just brought in a couple bags of chips.
Mitch (Dallas, TX)
Spontaneous combustion is a classy way to go, but I am planning to implode.
JB (TX)
According to wikipedia: In July 2008, Ellicott City/Columbia was ranked the 8th Best Place to Live in the United States by CNN/Money and Money magazine.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I understand OnStar is trying to get the point across that they help you in accidents, but I don't like their commercials that have recordings of someone moaning in pain after they got in an accident.
Bob (Lowell)
lunch....no idea but I'm home so the possibilities are near endless.
Don (San Francisco)
All of our brains together = Morning Buzz. So basically, it would just know a lot of movie trivia and lunch.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Buzz is considering pulling a Costanza and being fat and bald.
Marc (Big D)
I don't know what rag bologna is and I am positive I don't want to know.
Justin (Ohio)
Live in a small town of only 1300 people. Our first national restaurant, a Subway opens today, I'm there.
stephanie (cincy)
going out to the diner for lunch. i doubt carson will be there, but i shall dream.
Matt (IN)
Lunch may be at Taco Bell. Not sure yet.
Bruce (Maine)
Grilled KFC chicken, hmmm
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Lunch: I'm thinking Chipotle**subject to change
Drew (Buffalo)
Lunch: chicken quesadilla, mountain dew
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: Sandwich, Chips, Nutty Bars... Again.
Steve (NJ)
My old man wants to be buried at sea; so we can't have his brain.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Howard county is also always in top 5 richest counties...
Chad (Las Vegas)
Cow brains for lunch anyone?
Marc (Big D)
JB, that's because it is tough to have crime with 1 person in a town.
tom* (parkville, md)
I figure I'll have a fatal kickball accident, or something similar.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Buzz works at the worldwide leader in sports but not in front of the camera. Of course he is already fat and bald.
Dan (Buffalo, NY)
Buffalo: Where fans will ruin a players' lawn for a fumble. Glad to say I am not a Jills fan.
Ryan (San Diego)
He is married steph
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Lunch: Salmon with pasta
Nate (Madison)
Lunch: I think I'll go with some PB
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I agree, Brian. It's a little unsettling, like those Volkwagen commericals where people would get whacked out of nowhere.
Mitch (Dallas, TX)
Lunch: Twisted Root Burger Company (As seen on the Food Network)
Pete (NC)
Lunch: thinking about the free Moe's burrito day tomorrow. Yes, I said free Moe's Burrito Day. Be jealous.
Justin (Ohio)
By the way MBer's I did go to the game Saturday night. Had a great time until the last drive. Heart break city.
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
Smart move.
Drew (Buffalo)
Fact: The town I work in has been voted the safest in America. Fact: 3 banks have been robbed since April.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Buzz, if I join the facebook group can we put this whole Grason thing behind us?
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
Maybe.
tom* (parkville, md)
We should all send Carson Palmer letters requesting that he stop stalking Steph(anie).
Moe's Employee (Anytown USA)
WELCOME TO MOES!!!
JC (OH)
I am craving a root beer float for lunch and now so are you Buzznation...A
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Lunch: Healthy
Neal (Philly)
Lunch: TV dinner
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright, folks, I have to duck out a little early. Everybody have a great rest of your day and stay classy!
Cory (PA)
Fact: If it wasn't for the murders, Washington D.C. would have a ery low crime rate.
Jeremy (Boston)
Come on. The Bills fans just did the same as the high school fans in All the Right Moves. Just without the trash...
JB (TX)
Lunch: may steal Alex's idea and head to Chipotle. Also, Steph, I have a Carson Palmer story too. Played basketball against him once. He can shoot. That's it.
Cory (PA)
Lunch: Arby's 5 for $5
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, I really felt that I offered some witty material today but was thoroughly overlooked.
Fake JB (TX)
As a basketball player, Carson Palmer is overrated!
Marc (Big D)
Time for one more office gripe. Why do people not realize that they don't need to yell into a phone to be heard. I can hear like 4 different conversations at any given time.
Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
Not just an office gripe. People on cell phones tend to do that too. Or people on landlines that are talking to people on cell phones yell too.
Justin (Ohio)
Yeah I agree Buzz. Crowd was electric. Loudest I have ever heard. No more Hineygate (local tailgate) really sucks.
Marc (Big D)
Cory, must be nice. I think it is $5 for $6.95 around me now. I think I might just get a sub or something. Maybe some rag bologna.
Fake Carson Palmer (Cincy)
As a mb chatter JB is overrated too
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I hate cell phones, but can't live wothout one.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Good news: There aren't 4 people to hear on the phone in my small office. Bad news: You get to hear intimate details of people's lives, diets, etc. in a small office.
Bugs Bunny (Toontown)
I wonder how many Eagles tailgaters will make ribs this weekend? Truly delicious irony.
Rob (Ann Arbor)
i can't stand the people that have to read their texts out loud...really, i can hear your lips moving
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Trust me on this, grilled rag bologna is delicious.
Forest Gump (Greenbow, Alabama)
I had me about nine Dr. Peppers.
JB (TX)
Carson was good at b-ball! He's a good QB, too, wish he could get exiled from Cincy.
tom* (parkville, md)
Wikipedia does not acknowledge rag bologna.
Marc (Big D)
In the words of the immortal Michael Scott, "Peace out Seacrest".
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Lunch: sandwich, big cheez its, juicy juice cherry
Nate (Madison)
Robbi, washing that down with some moonshine?
Brian (Madison, WI)
Start a flag football league tonight. Apparently we have 3 games. I might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning.
Justin (Ohio)
Have a good day MBer's.
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
Thanks for stopping by everyone. We'll be back again tomorrow. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Sam (WV)
2nd to last post, 2nd to last post!!!
Chad (Las Vegas)
I hope those are Diet Dr. Peppers Mr. Gump.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
See y'all tomorrow. Bye
Cory (PA)
Have a good day Morning Buzzers, try not to kill anyone!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Laters
Allen Iverson (Memphis, TN)
Mmmmm....ribs. I would much rather eat the ribs than go to practice. And y'all be wonderin' why I signed with the Grizzlies?
Marc (Charlotte)
Alright everyone, have a good day. Quite the chat schedule that Buzz has put together for us, must mean tomorrow is light.
Chad (Las Vegas)
(on a cell phone) C-YA BUZZ! HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Carson Palmer (Cincy)
Steph just stabbed me.
