Scott. Tasmania. Australia [via mobile]
Good morning america!! Whats happening in your side of the world today?
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)

Christian (High Point, NC)
The Fall Season is here! Bones tonight.
Marc (Big D)
And tonight starts the first of the fall TV premieres. Fringe, The Office and Always Sunny are must watches. Still trying to get into Parks and Rec and optimistic about Community. Thank the lord for DVR.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Thursday shows start tonight? The Office included in that?
Raymond (Baltimore)
Gooood Mornings to you Mr Buzz Sir
Christian (High Point, NC)
Happy Thursday! Kill me.
Bob the Builder (Iowa)
I like toast.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
I'm not too scared to admit I like that show.
Ryan (San Diego)
I believe the word you were looking for was wait
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Yeah, whatever.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So, Grason joined the Facebook group. Great. Grand. Wonderful.
Clay (Hillsdale, MI)
Good morning buzz, and happy Office season premiere night!
Nate (Madison)
I'm chatting blind again.
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Try a refresh.
Neal (Philly)
Jason Werth's an animal.
fred (omaha)
be quiet steve get ready for rocktober, go rockies
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Good morning, Buzz Nation. So Season 6 of The Office starts tonight and I'll have to watch it via computer sometime tomorrow.
Cory (PA)
2 weeks ago I was all hyped up over how many great playoff races there were in baseball this season. Now I'm puttering around waiting for playoffs. Thank Gob the NFL starts things off at just the right time.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
The Red Sox on the main page of ESPN and ESPNboston = no way.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
Do you ever not complain?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Speaking of the Phillies, if you haven't seen the video yet of the dad giving the foul ball to his daughter, go check out. And if you don't laugh at it, you have no soul.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I wish I was admin, I would've put Grason (Endicott City) as their officer title for both of them.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Translation for Nate: I'm chatting blind [drunk] again.
Neal (Philly)
I agree, Christian. I can't wait for the season premiere of Bones!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
30 Rock is also a must watch. Best sitcom on TV.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Make sure you thank Gob instead of God.
Cory (PA)
Jason Werth's not an animal! He's a HUMAN BEING!!!
stephanie (cincy)
Check out "Glee" It is worth it.
Marc (Big D)
Oh you better believe it Buzz.
David (Banning)
America fell and bumped there head last night. I speak of Americas got talent.
Nate (Madison)
There we go. I was refreshing. Does this every couple days, takes a while to come up....but we're good here.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
It's true. I joined. TUF season 10...Abe looked pathetic.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
Good job Grason.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Survivor and The Office premier tonight, Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
Not so keen on Survivor, but am definitely pumped for Office.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good lord, that's...that's Tom's music! Oh my! Business is about to pick up!
Vultan (Outer Space)
Flying blind on a rocket bike?
Nate (Madison)
Ray, if someone asks if you're a god....you say YES!
Scott (Brewtown)
Human Being = animal
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Agreed, stephanie. Glee is fantastic. Brings back a lot of memories of choir. Although we weren't vilified by the student body like the Glee kids.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, is it too soon to ask Whoopie if she's heard from Patrick?
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Not sure. I'm just waiting for the all-Patrick Swayze movie day. Perhaps TBS this weekend?
Cory (PA)
I watched TUF last night...and I have one thing to say: "WE GOT A BLEEDER!!!"
Brian (Madison, WI)
After playing flag football for the first time last night I realized I'm better suited at WR/DB and not on the lines. 5'10", 185 lbs is not big enough to handle those large weekend warriors that are out for blood. I got manhandled on the OL the first play of the game.
Scott (Brewtown)
Is it just me or is Thursday night NBC becomming quality tv again?
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
Again? It's been for a while...or at least since Office started up.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, I'm thinking of getting a buddy and applying for the Amazing Race. Could you imagine seeing that?
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
No. Can't imagine you'd find one of your buddies sober enough to be on the show.
Neal (Philly)
That video is funny, Clinton, but he's getting too much air time...the Today show, local news. It was nice of Phillies executives to bring him another ball.
Marc (Big D)
I am proud to say that I am 0-3 on watching the new Leno show. Just a stupid idea all around to me.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Nate: I find that sometimes switching from "most recent post: top" to "most recent post: bottom" (or vice versa) will stop the blindness without refreshing.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People who get manhandled at the line need to practice more than 20 hours a week...and get lives.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Brian, we salute you Mr. Overcompetitive Flag Football Player Guy.
Tom (pa)
He steph did ya catch up with carson last night?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
TBS is too busy showing Back to the Future and Made of Honor.
Phil (Jersey)
Whats the Buzz on Brooks and the Bears anything new for next week cause i no he is locked up with espn this week
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
Ask him today at 1 during his chat.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Too soon Clay, too soon!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
If it isn't TBS, then it'll probably be TNT.
Ogre (Adams College)
Choir is for NERDS!
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Fact: If Pam is pregnant the Office will become the Suck.
Nate (Madison)
Brooks doesn't want to play for a losing team with a cry baby QB.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
One of my friends from high school had a great Facebook status the other day: "I wonder how many women are making pottery by candlelight tonight, just in case."
Cory (PA)
Nate and Brian on Amazing race, by week three they've packed it up and are camping in a brew pub.
Will (Coulrtland, VA)
I was thinking about that too...nice Saturday of Roadhouse would be good. Also, never will forget the Chip 'n Dales dance off with him and Farley.
Ryan (San Diego)
Why the heck do the Pats get a special chat...seriously, could you be any more biased. I dont care if you make fun of me for complaining...that's just stupid.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
That's because ESPNBoston.com just started. And when ESPNDallas.com starts in a couple of weeks, we'll have chats on that as well. Take it easy whiney guy.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Ryan swallowed his bitterness pill with some extra sadness juice this morning.
stephanie (cincy)
Carson? Was fake stephanie posting yesterday, because I wasn't here.
Pete (NC)
The Office already hit its peak and is on the way down. It will soon hit the suck status if Pam's pregnant or not.
Cory (PA)
Pam is pregnant and...*shocked*...Dwight's the father!
Nate (Madison)
Tom......wow....that is hilarious
Brian (Madison, WI)
I knew I was in trouble lining up on the OL and looking across to a guy that outweighed me by roughly 100 lbs and was wearing a sleeveless shirt and sunglasses.
Cory (PA)
Yeah Ryan! Buzz, at least put up a competing chat at the same time to discuss teams...from...the...west...nevermind
IWG (Cyberspace)
Yeah, Buzz! Ryan is right! When is espnsandiego cominng?! :(
Clay (Charlotte)
Okay, if you don't mind us making fun of you...it's ESPNBoston not ESPNPopped Collars
Nate (Madison)
Brian, welcome to city league flag football.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Got to watch Survivor. Some guy claims he was a Katrina victim even though he was no where near there. I was raised in New Orleans and I think its genius gameplay.
Nate (Madison)
ESPNWisconsin? Waiting....waiting....waiting
Pete (NC)
ESPNBoston.com? Isn't that a bit redundant Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
You guys put on your whitty pants today.*
Ogre (Adams College)
ESPNerds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Nice SN poll, but how is the Snuggie losing? Travesty.
Cory (PA)
ESPNEllicottt City on Grason
Neal (Philly)
Do I get free batteries when ESPNPhiladelphia starts?
JB (TX)
ESPNDallas? Really? Shoulda been an ESPNHouston first.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Fact: Most of us would rather have ESPN: Tijuana before ESPN: San Diego.
Marc (Big D)
The Office has been going downhill since season 3, but I will watch 'til the bitter end. Dwight needs to go back to worshiping Michael.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
Same with My Name is Earl. That show hasn't been good for the last two seasons now.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Can't wait for the ESPNDunmore.com start up. Should happen around the same time as MB 2.1.
Dave (vt)
Gotta go low on those big guys Brian.
Tom (pa)
i don't know steph, it looked like your handwriting. check it out.
Scott (Brewtown)
I'm hopeful that Chevy Chase's new show will be Caddyshack good as opposed to Cops
jillnorman (norman)
ESPNnorman
Nate (Madison)
ESPNTijuana show: Drug Trade Sharpshooting.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I think Julie Chen was sporting a Snuggie on the BB finale this week. It sure looked like one.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
Or a mumu or rain poncho.
Clay (Charlotte)
Hey, we are still waiting for ESPNCharlotte, where we can talk about the Panthers, NASCAR, MJ's betting habits, and...I think there's some kind of basketball team but I'll have to double check.
Tyler (Arkansas)
Hey atleast you guys can have an espn home page. Arkansas has no pro sports. College and a couple minor league baseball teams. Since the AFL is no more we lost that team to. Its boring here
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
ESPNDetroit . . the jokes are too easy to make.
Justin (Chicago)
Fact: Sunny is better than the Office.
Teenagers (Buffalo)
If you don't get ESPNBuffalo soon you're going to be sorry, Buzz! Does anyone know if cardboard boxes have front lawns?
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Congratulations Pete, you're the 100000th to make that joke. Maybe buzz can send youa used pop tarts wrapping as a prize
Marc (Big D)
That MNF commercial is great. "What? I cut the sleeves off because it looks awesome! Get your head in the game!"
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Earl was canceled, Buzz, and I thought Season 5 of The Office was a nice comeback.
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
Earl was? I guess I missed that. That's OK. I think that show had run its course. Was going downhill a little.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
I agree the past couple of seasons of the Office have had far too many "average" episodes. This is a big season for them. Can they be the next Cheers/Seinfeld, or do they flame out like so many other solid comedies. I would say the same for How I Met Your Mother as well.
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
Love HIMYM. And it's good in reruns which is pretty key.
Clay (Charlotte)
Louis, Buzz eats the wrapper too so he can save time. He doesn't have the patience to unwrap them...you know, cause he's fat.
Dave (tallahassee, fl) [via mobile]
ESPN:Las Vegas Strip
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I forget which one of the talking heads mentioned it, but the lawn incident is a good example why some athletes feel the need to carry a gun. There are some freaking nutjobs out there.
Cory (PA)
I'm eager to see how much more convoluted and uninspired the Heroes storyline will become. They outdid themselves last year.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Fact: Buzz doesnt have used pop tarts. He eats every last crumb.
Chad (Las Vegas)
ESPNDetroit would be bancrupt and need a bailout 2 weeks after its premier.
Pete (NC)
The Office has gone down hill since the show's plotlines intertwined too much. It became a running storyline instead of each episode being a day in the life of the office. That's my opinion anyway.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
That's a good point.
Nate (Madison)
Never got into My Name is Earl.
Scott (Indy)
I've always thought the worst thing a comedy could do is try to have a running plot of some sort (Earl tried, Drew Carey tried, the Office seems to be trying).
Pete (NC)
ESPNBoston = ESPNNewEnglandMinusNewYork
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Uhhhhh, hate to break it to you, but New York is not a part of New England.
Matt (Worcester,MA)
pffft. You guys are missing it all New season of House Next Week!
kareem (philly)
D. brooks as an eagle baby
Neal (Philly)
There's this girl I've been dating and I want to dump her, but she gave me a birthday gift last weekend. Am I obligated to see her again?
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Of course. You have to see her again so you can dump her.
Matt Damon (via mobile from the couch)
Buzz quit talking about these shows like you get to watch them. We all know I rule the TV at your house.
Cory (PA)
Math time: HIMYM-NPH=Pulse
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Looking forward to the return of HIMYM and especially BBT on Monday.
Marc (Big D)
JB, really? A city with 3 mediocre teams or one with 2 stupid rich owners with big mouths and a FB team with one of the largest nationwide fanbases. Hmm. Cubs, Red Sox, Cowboys. See a pattern in the decisions?
Matt (Dallas)
where is the sports talk....take control buzz
Brian (Madison, WI)
When do the CBS Monday shows make their premieres?
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
Monday, I believe.
Jack (NB Canada)
Don't the kids dump each other via text or Facebook?
Drew (Buffalo)
I have loved House since the pilot..... but House in a mental institute? I think we can say it jumped the Shark.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
I missed some episodes a while back when all of his former interns left the show and the next time I watched, Omar Epps was his boss and the others were gone and replaced by new interns. Confused me and I haven't been able to catch up since.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm looking forward to Season 3 of The Big Bang Theory on Monday, too . . . or I will be once I watch all of Season 2 when I get the discs on Netflix.
chaz (sa tx)
and do what productive for your team kareem? throw the ball?
Christian (High Point, NC)
Fact: Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can't say; people just liked it better that waaaaaaay
Justin (Chicago)
I have high hopes for Community. Chevy was pretty good on the couple episodes of Chuck, and I'm a big Joel McHale fan.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
What happened to Chuck? I was trying to catch up on that show online.
JB (TX)
All this TV talk, I'm assuming I'm the only one hyped for Georgia Tech/Miami tonite.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
NICE reference, Christian. Love TMBG.
JB (TX)
Marc, you have a point. If it means they stop talking about Dallas teams on the regular ESPN then I'm all for ESPNDallas.
Scott (Indy)
See, I used to watch House until I figured out every episode was the exact same. Patient comes in with a leg cramp, almost dies, House is a jerk, everyone else is annoyed with him being a jerk. Roll credits. It was decent when the cop was trying to bust him, though.
Jeremy (Boston)
My older brother always gave me the advice, if your not sure on a girl, dump her by Thanksgiving....Then you don't have to get her a Xmas Present. And are free for New Years.
Tyler (Arkansas)
Of course dude. Just hang in there for a couple more days and then blow it off
Justin (Chicago)
House jumped Jeff Smardzjia? That's like a 6"5' leap.
al (dc)
I just got into House and now it jumped the shark -- i need the whaaaaambulance
Clay (Charlotte)
Fact: Hugh Laurie was a comedian before House, actually a pretty good one.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I think Two and a Half Men has run its course as well. When the 1/2 man is taller than the two regular men, time to say good bye.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
LadyBuzz and I were talking about that the other day. The jokes about how dumb the kid is get a little old when he looks like he should be in high school.
Jeremy's Brother (Boston)
Yeah, I love being a complete jerk. Now if I can just get my younger brother to be more like me...
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Chuck will be back in mid-season I think, Buzz. It is a really great show and I look forward to seeing how the new intersect powers work for Chuck.
stephanie (cincy)
Count me in JB. Love CFB on Thursday night
Scott (Indy)
I hope Chevy having another show doesn't mean he won't be back on Chuck. He was great as the bad guy.
Drew (Buffalo)
Some episodes were pretty good when he was trying to assemble a new team, but, you're right in that if you missed some then it's hard to come back.
Justin (Chicago)
It got renewed, but later in the process, so it's coming back for a half season in January, i believe.
jillnorman (norman)
No, I'm hyped.
Clay (Charlotte)
I heart Chuck, they were going to cancel it but there was a big save Chuck movement and they resigned for 13 more episodes.
Drew (Buffalo)
Scott, every episode was the same basic outline. I watched it for the dry humor
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
My wife, kids, and I were a little bummed out to see,"Wipe Out," end for the season and have been missing, "I Survived a Japanese Game Show," for weeks.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
So my 3 year old son lost a tooth doing some sort of high flying wrestling move last night. He actually took it quite well.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I think House dropped when he got rid of his first team, and when they started using really weird situation just to complicate the diagnostics. In a plane in an antartic science station...
Scott (Indy)
How long until Charlie and the fiance have a baby to try to reboot the cute kid factor and keep two and a half men going?
Ryan (San Diego)
ESPN San Diego would be boring, but at the least you need an ESPN Los Angeles. You have a studio here but can't get their own page?
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
How do you know one isn't planned? Just relax hombre.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
They're probably on the list, Ryan. Be patient, for crying out loud.
Richard (Wisconsin)
OH my mistake. I thought sports was be chatted. I will go watch dan patrick of direct tv.
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
Apology accepted.
Matt (IN)
Thank you Ryan for at least attempting to change the course of the chat.
Marc (Charlotte)
I'm glad Friday Night Lights was renewed but upset I have to wait until summer '10 to watch the next season.
Cory (PA)
Then it'd be 3 and a Quarter men Scott
Nate (Madison)
I think CBS doesn't have another solid show to replace Two and a Half Men so they are just stringing it out until they do.
Drew (Buffalo)
"Wipe Out" is a wonderful show. I love it
Tom (River North)
I'm a big Chuck fan as well. Just not happy I have to wait until January or February or whenever for it to come back.
Carl (Chicago)
I can't believe how many of you dote on TV shows. Particularly lame ones. You're no better than women with their soap opera addictions. Buy a dress please.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
I'm assuming you watch zero TV, Carl? Perhaps don't even own a TV at all.
Marc (Charlotte)
Had a management meeting Buzz, Fill me in on what I missed.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Gotta love a 15 minute water obsticle course.
Jack (NB Canada)
Patiently waiting for ESPN Bangor.
Cory (PA)
I'm waiting for Tom Selleck or Steve Guttenberg to join: Three Men and an adolescent!
Chad (Las Vegas)
Ryan's new name should be PC. For Popped Collar and I picture him as that annoying kid PC on that NYCPrep show.
Ryan (San Diego)
I'm on edge today if you couldn't tell
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
Yeah, it's like Juan Manuel Marquez peed in your Cheerios.
Nate (Madison)
Now there's uproar over a high school football team winning 83-0? First that's not even that bad. Second, three TD's came on returns and one on a blocked punt. Third, they only threw one pass in the 2nd half and their backups were in the entire half with a running clock. People need to lighten up and get off this overly anal sportsmanship bandwagon.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
No, let me guess: Carl watches nothing but sports, listens to nothing but sports radio, and only reads sports websites. In other words, he's a complete bore.
Dave (vt)
No Carl is MAN. He only watches sports and has never laughed in his life.
Matt (Worcester,MA)
hey hey Carl cmon now we all gotta watch something once we've watched Buzz on Sportsnation
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
The edge that Ryan is on is the one on his razor blade that's lining up his cocaine. Relax, Ryan.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Yes because only women watch soap operas and women only wear dresses. Go back to bed Carl and wake up on the right side of the bed.
Cory (PA)
I need a Ruckus update. What's new chaz?
stephanie (cincy)
Carl managed to be insulting and sexist is one post. Well done
Billy Madison ( )
Oh, Hey Carl! Good to see you, Carl
Neal (Philly)
Did anyone see the college score from last weekend where Stephen F. Austin won 92-0 and threw 2 TD passes in the second half already up 50-0?
Marc (Charlotte)
Nate, we live in a time where everyone has to be a winner.
Justin (Chicago)
Fact: Carl is better than every single person in this chat.
JB (TX)
ONB time, fatty.
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
Let's do it.....
Gage (Cheatham)
Hi the Titans are Beast.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
I'll be at a seminar all day today. No MB for me. Lunch: Whatever deliciousness they have for us at the hilton.
Clay (Pace Florida)
Do you think Florida is going to run up the score in the Tennessee game?
Ryan (illinois)
anyone know the name of the band that they just played after the top 10 there was a small clip of a song?

With the Red Sox current success and Rangers epic downfall, is it safe to say the Red Sox willo be playing in October?
please i need help (fantasy football)
should i trade Ronnie brown and Shockey for DeAngelo Williams or Kevin smith or neither
michael (santa maria california)
mike singletary is 6-2 as head coach. are the 49ers a legitimate threat to win it all this year?
Jack (San Pedro)
Why are your announcers so biased tonight in favor of the Rockies and against the Giants it's disgusting
Jay (Boston)
I did not know that the Umps are all on the Red Sox
Quentin (Green Bay)
R.I.P. Myles Brand. NCAA President and the guy who fired Bobby Knight at Indiana.
Rickie Weeks (Fatness)
Guess what? I was named "Sexiest Baseball Player" by Cosmopolitan Magazine! I didn't know fat was attractive?!? See Buzz, there is hope for you!
Jake (Omaha, NE)
What do you think is going to be the most exciting game to watch in College football Week 3? A) Nebraska vs Virginia TechB) Florida vs TennesseeC) Texas vs Texas TechD) None of the Above
Steve (NJ)
Hey Sportsnation, I'm going to be switching to the Philly office for the foreseeable future...which means no Morning Buzz action for me for awhile. Unless I quit and get a new gig...which I might do. 2 hour drives, twice a day, don't strike me as fun.
chad (Avon)
is adrian peterson or will he become the best runningback of alltime
scott (columbia, Mo)
let's fix soccer. that "stoppage time" is bs, americans hate it. americans love the countdown to the final buzzer. how can you have a game winng goal if u don't know when the game will end? it's so easy to fix and only improves the game, even the rest of the world might adopt the timing change. just have the mls try it in the pre-season a few games to see if the fans like it, i know they will. (( start and stop the clock like every hockey game does during pentalites and injuries. then the game ends at 90:00 not 94:??)) has soccer ever had a game end like the fl st/ miami in week 1 on the very last play? (we'll get into the overtime penality kicks later. that's like watching an overtime nba playoff game settled with 5 freethrows for each team. we payed to see a game not practice.) keep up the good work colin even if i only agree with u 98% of the time, lol
KEITH JOHNSON (stillwater)
i need a phone number to espn fantasy football. i have a question THANK YOU
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Clay, I saw that you blamed me in yesterday's chat. What did you blame me for? Oh and Ben (Madison), burn in hell!
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
And that's it....
Clay (Charlotte)
See what happens when you join a chat a try to insult it's members? Now what did you learn Carl?
Matt (Worcester,MA)
Alright Sportsnation take it easy the rest of the day time for my next class =(
Nate (Madison)
Here's a trophy for finishing in 10th place.
Marc (Big D)
Agreed Nate. Everyone is too pampered these days. Take getting your butt handed to you as a lesson and work harder and don't let it happen again.
Clay (Hillsdale, MI)
Carl clearly spends his evenings watching sports while lifting weights, stopping only to eat raw meat.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Ryan needs to lay off the nose candy.
Dave (RI)
If I was Urban Meyer i would be kicking onsides kicks, up 60, in the 4th quarter
Cory (PA)
I too am disgusted with ESPN's Rocky Mountain bias!
Pete (NC)
If Ryan is PC, then Nate has to be MAC: Mass Alcohol Consumer
chaz (sa tx)
well ever since i took the carpet out of our house in anticipation of my new baby due next week, Ruckes does not really like the new tile. he tries to sneak onto the bed and couches any chance he gets. he has taken to pulling clothes out of the hamper and make his own bed.
Carl (Chicago)
No clinton, unlike you i have a life, a job, a family. I enjoy watching a variety of shows..some sports. My life doesn't envelop endless chatting on line
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
So, let's get this straight. You, who admittedly watches TV shows, come to an online chat, where the current conversation was about TV shows, to complain about people who chat online about TV shows?
Clay (Charlotte)
BOOOO RASTALL
Doug (California)
Rowing post > Soccer post
Cory (PA)
You're pregnant chaz?! Have you told your wife?
Marc (Charlotte)
Carl, you seem angry. Perhaps you need to talk to someone.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Georgia Tech is always on Thursday night game, ESPN has a bias towards Georgia! *sarcasm
al (dc)
why would a baby necessitate (sp bad) taking out a carpet?
Neal (Philly)
The MB is endless?
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
It's a black hole.
jillnorman (norman)
What do you think of 'staches, buzz. Do you have one. I like the Chevron.
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Like 'em. Don't have one.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Endless chatting? And I thought MB only lasted one hour...
Nate (Madison)
So Carl comes online, to chat and complain online about people that chat online. Ironic.
Rob (Boston)
The funniest show on TV, not name named South Park, is premiering tonight and I expect most of SN to be watching...
Greg (Ellicott City)
Rowing post > Soccer post > Rastall post
Irony (Chicago)
Hey Carl, I'm Irony. Have we met?
Cory (PA)
Endless MB...The Mobius Buzz, how existential
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
Mosibus Architecture? I think it was something like that.
Chad (Las Vegas)
He needs to take the carpet out so when he drops said baby on their heads it really does some damage.
Doug (California)
Tile is easier to clean... I think that's the reason.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So because I mock Carl, I automatically become jobless and lifeless. Great. Good to know.
chaz (sa tx)
the carpet was getting old and the whole dog dander. stains are easier to clean off of tile also.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Is Irony your stripper name?
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
No, that's Ivory.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I am also looking forward to the new show with Ed O'Neil. I just started watching, "Married with Children," reruns again on TBS in the early morning hours. Still funny.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Wow Buzz I just saw you have a Derric Brooks chat today. He has nothing better to do.
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
Men who mock other men for not being "manly" enough need to get lives.
Cory (PA)
I talk about all these shows, but I really only turn on the TV for sports anymore, so I'll be watching whichever come on Hulu.
Clay (Charlotte)
No, stripper names are your first pets name and the street you grew up on... mine's Buddy Canterbury.
Marc (Big D)
Well Clinton 197 years old is pretty close to lifeless and I imagine it would be tough to get a job.
stephanie (cincy)
Carpets are loaded with allergens and cleaning up baby puke is easier to clean off of tile
Wes (Big D)
I agree marc.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Sorry I'm late. I've been at the dr's getting a shot. I have poison ivy all over the left side of my face ...Just Lovely.
stephanie (cincy)
Bunkie Musket would be my stripper name
Matt (IN)
I spilled a beer on my new carpet last night. I'm not sure what bothers me more, that it got on the new carpet or that I wasted some beer.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Oddly enough, Marc, Wal-Mart was more than happy to have me as a greeter!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I thought first pet and street you grew up on was your porn star name?
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
In other non- related news. The guy from my hometown won America's Got Talent. Woooooo
Trevor (Texas)
Extremely busy morning for me. Making a brief appearance in the MB.
Clay (Charlotte)
I'd always hear stripper, either way they usually turn out pretty funny.
Nate (Madison)
Robbi must have been in the woods hiding from the cops after the discovered her stills.
Marc (Big D)
Buzz any news on someone trying for the chat marathon record?
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
No. Every time someone asks, I mention that the record is over 13 hours and then I never hear from them again.
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)
Before I forget, I want to give a shoutout to two freakin' hilarious comedians I saw last night - Mike Whitman was the opening act and Jim Colliton was the headliner. We were laughing all night.
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
13 hour chat. That person needs to get a life.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Who got the record right now, it had changed hands a few times
Marc (Big D)
Fair enough. Darn you Matthew Berry.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, any word on you staying home and going for the weight record?
Cory (PA)
I totally think Scott Van Melt could pull it off if he didn't have so many other obligations.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Fact: I could go over 13 hours in a chat. And it wouldn't be one of those "1 question answered every 5 minutes" chats either. I'd rock the floor. In fact, I need to win the lottery so I can buy the Bobcats and become a chat regular.
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
13 hours? That's nothing, my kids practice for 15 hours a day.
Clay (Charlotte)
Was the waitstaff laughing? That's the true sign of a good comedian.
Buzzmaster (10:45 AM)
Good question. They weren't circling much, so I didn't have a good chance to look.
JB (TX)
Hey Buzz, FYI you have the fattest chat host record sewn up, you can stop eating now.
Chad (Las Vegas)
I heard Biggest Loser rejected Buzz because he works at a rival network. Is that true Buzz?
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Nate you're just jealous, because you don't have a still!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
What's with all the anger in here today?
Bob (Lowell)
Buzz is the waitstaff.
Doug (California)
Buzz doesn't notice the waitstaff. He just notices the food. You know, because he's fat.
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
That was the only bummer is that they weren't serving food last night.
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
It was a charity thing, so I guess they were trying to maximize profits by not having to pay for the kitchen crew to come in.
ruckus (sa tx)
well buy me a freakin dog bed CHAZ!!!!!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Buzz isn't the waitstaff. He's the waistfat.
Marc (Big D)
Clinton I think because day 4 of the week was Friday last week. Everyone is mad we have another day.
chaz (sa tx)
* narrows down search on the real buzz bu hacking into the comedy clubs credit card receipts.
Cory (PA)
It does seem a little mean today.
jillnorman (norman)
I'm going to practice my ghosting later today. I want to be ready for competition.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Scott Van Melt? Isn't that the name of the grilled cheese in the ESPN cafeteria?
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
It will be if SVP uses the most five syllable words.
fred (omaha)
i agree buzz, those guys were pretty funny, lets go again
Marc (Big D)
Good thing you had your patented food emergency vest on though right Buzz?
Cory (PA)
No food? Poor Buzz, you must have been as sad as Prince Fielder when they told him steak wasn't a vegetable.
Webster (Boston)
Correction: Weightstaff
Clay (Charlotte)
No food, I'm surprised you stayed.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
No food? That's strange. Was there a drink minimum?
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)
No, no minimum. Actually, they gave you one free drink if you were one of the first 50 to show up.
Tom (River North)
Van Pelt couldn't go 13 hours. He'd upset all the people that play fantasy sports and he would run out of questions. The only people that could do it are Simmons and one of the fantasy sports guys, especially now that football, baseball and preseason hockey are going on.
Chad (Las Vegas)
I'd rather see SVP do SC in a snuggie for a year.
JB (TX)
Actually, the waitstaff was temporarily distracted by the stabbing in the kitchen, but service went on as normal...
Dave (Tallahassee, FL) [via mobile]
Buzz, did you sit up front? You know that's not wise right? (Cue fat joke now)
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Buzz would only have left if there was free food. He's honorable enough to pay for his extreme fatness.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I love the new SVP commercial.
chaz (sa tx)
I DID BUY YOU A DOG BED RUCKUS!!! YOU DESTROYED IT 2 WEEKS AGO.
chaz (sa tx)
buzz denies free steak but not a free drink ... hmmm...
Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)
Go eat some gas station food Buzz. I mean, you work right there and all...
Chad (Las Vegas)
Alcohol can make you fat as well. I bet Buzz drank a gallon of beer last night.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
A free drink if you were one of the 1st 50? What kind of a place was that?
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
Like I said, it was a charity event, so it wasn't a normal night at the comedy club. The charity basically rented it out and were trying to limit costs, I'm guessing, so they could maximize how much they could put back into the charity.
Marc (Big D)
That's funny, I heard 4 fast food joints ran out of food right after a comedy show got out in Bristol last night. What a coincidence.
Neal (Philly)
Lunch: TV dinner...have a good weekend everyone!
Marc (Big D)
I bet Ruckus is a toy poodle.
Clay (Charlotte)
Lunch: Chopped Sirloin, peppers and onions, fried okra
Tom (River North)
I think Chaz and Ruckus need to be locked in a room together until they can settle their differences...
Brian (Madison, WI)
Alcohol can make you fat? Uh oh.
joe phila [via mobile]
i think the phila eagles should put mike vick in now
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
Only if they want to lose games.
Monty (Knoxville )
Tennessee..41 Florida 21
Cory (PA)
Lunch: Mel's Diner
Clay (Charlotte)
Does SVP even know who you are, Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
Prolly not.
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: No clue; Heading to Myrtle Beach for a wedding at 1.
Jim Halpert (Scranton)
FACT: Bears eat beets. Bears, beets, battlestar galactica. Oh yeah, and Pam is preggers.
Doug (California)
Take it from a Falcon fan... you don't want MV to start right now...
Clay (Charlotte)
Joe you do know he can't play this week, right?
Cory (PA)
Judging by chaz's picture for TMB:FF no, not a poodle.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Lunch: Turkey on wheat, garden tomato, unsweet tea.
chaz (sa tx)
not a poodle. http://sportsnation.espn.go.com/fans/chaz920580lbs retriver shar pei mix he was an oops
Clay (Charlotte)
Monty, that's the dumbest thing said in the chat today...and that's really saying something.
Nate (Madison)
Lunch: Subway.....eat fresh. Trying to decide if I want to go out tonight or tomorrow? Hmmm.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Lunch Chat: Sandwich, big cheez its, water, apple, and peach
Christian (High Point, NC)
Lunch: Think it's going to be a pepperoni lean pocket.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Dayman (Philly)
If any of you need karate or friendship, I have you covered.
Scott (Brewtown)
Lunch: apparently work, as people refuse to leave me alone!
Greg (Ellicott City)
Lunch: Baconator...
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I thought he looked like a shar pei or a pit bull.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Dinner chat: Hamburgers
Tom (River North)
Go out tonight. I am. After class I'm going to a place where I can eat and drink all I want for $5 over 2 hours.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Lunch: Goat cheese lasagna made by my wife. Outstanding work!
Doug (California)
That's it Tom, I'm moving to River North.
Pete (NC)
For all you Charlotte chatters, it's free Moe's Burrito day today. Just an FYI.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Lunch. I think I am going to have to try out Emeril's new sports stadium food at the sportsbook at Venetian/Pallazo while I make my weekend bets.
Andy Reid (Philly)
Buzz we had this conversation yesterday. Us fat guys need to work together but you keep going against me. I call the shots around here. Now go get me another cheesesteak.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL) [via mobile]
Lunch is punch-bowl of Honey Smacks...oh wait that was Buzz's breakfast
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Where th eheck is River North? That sounds like the place to be.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Lunch: leftover seafood chowder. I ate leftover for lunch all week. No wonder I hate to cook
Nate (Madison)
Tom, I need one of those places. Think I'll have to review the various specials for the two nights and decide.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
LUNCH: Back to the grilled chicken wrap smothered in Frank's Hot Sauce with chips and a Diet Sierra Mist.
Doug (California)
Did we get through a full chat without Ed throwing a single flag?
Tom (River North)
I should probably update that. I'm currently in the West Loop, moving to Wrigleyville soon.
Scott (Brewtown)
Tom, based on the foods your wife prepares for you, i'm guessing that you are somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-4 hundred pounds
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
OK, I'm outta here for today. Gotta go check my MB FFL team to see if my WW claims made it through. Have a great day and enjoy the season premier of, "The Office," tonight. Stay safe and see you tomorrow for Casual Friday MB Chat.
Pete (NC)
I am also going out after work. Co-worker got a promotion so for some reason we're all buying him drinks. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Clay (Charlotte)
Fact: Happy hour is illegal in NC because it promotes drink as much as possible in a short period of time.
Buzzmaster (10:56 AM)
How about it promotes saving money.....while drinking as much as you can in a short period of time. It's all about how you look at it.
Donovan McNabb (Philadelphia)
Lunch: Applebee's Riblets with extra ironysauce
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Stupid phone calls made me miss the entire chat. Lunch: Healthy
Marc (Charlotte)
Clay, you can have drink specials that last all day though.
JB (TX)
Lunch: $5 footlooooong. Excited to see if Jacory Harris can follow up that awesome performance he had vs. FSU tonight. Also, best stripper name I ever heard: Naughtia.
Drew (Buffalo)
Got jammed up at work here, today was a great chat, as has been the whole week. Let's finish strong tomorrow. Have a great day, everyone! Lunch: I'm definitely thinking arbys.
Clay (Charlotte)
In NC, if you have an alcohol special it has to run all day long.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
I am going to open a bar with 1.50 beers all day every day.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Half off Monday for White Sox tickets. $15 for lower level seats. I'm not a Sox fan, but I'll take in a day of the Twins kicking the crap out of them for half price.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Reminds me of a joke: You know how you make a million dollars with a bar? Start with three million dollars...
Clay (Charlotte)
Alright guys, have a great Thursday, be safe and we'll see ya tomorrow. Peace.
Marc (Charlotte)
So we're against drinking alot over a short period of time, but we're all for drinking all day.
Nate (Madison)
A suburb here is selling coupon books for 2 for 1 drinks for up to 100 bars throughout Madison. Costs only $10, I'm so buying one....or 20.
Tom (River North)
I think happy hour is also illegal in Chicago. We're getting the special because we have a group of about 50 students coming in and are tight with the owner. Chicago also has all day specials.
Scott (Brewtown)
and it promotes the economies of the liquor/beer companies, because i am sure with this economy they are all hurting. *sarcasm alert*
Dave (Tallahassee, FL) [via mobile]
Til next time...peace.
Cory (PA)
Have a good day Morning Buzzers! Remember, punching coworkers is generally frowned upon.
Marc (Big D)
Have a wonderful day MBers. I hope the sun comes out at some point, I just want to take a nap.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright, folks, stay classy and enjoy the rest of your day!
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
I just have to say you guys have done some fine work so far this week. Good job. But we're done for today. Until tomorrow, stay classy SportsNation!
Urban Meyer (Gainesville)
You're either for drinking all day or against it. If you're for it, join Lane after the game because he's gonna need to drown his sorrows.
chaz (sa tx)
adios everyone have a good day.
Nate (Madison)
Beer prices are going up, gas is going down (although it's still high).....what the crap is going on here?!?!
Ruckus (sa tx)
lunch: Chaz's shoe
Dave (RI)
Stay classy San Deigo!
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Have a great Thursday. Happy Office! Bye y'all.
