Michael Scott (Hiding in his office)
Hi Buzz, this is your girlfriend...and I am MAD!
Jim Sowers (Tucson, AZ)
ESPNBoston? What is the point behind that? ESPN's east coast bias is a big joke. There are sports fans in other parts of the country! What are you guys going to do when those Boston teams go back to sucking?
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
1-800-GT-OVR-IT
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
6 more days Buzz. Can you feel the jubilation?
Greg (Ellicott City)
Buzz, hows my new FB friend doing?
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
What up Grason.
Marc (Big D)
HARDCORE PARKOUR!!!!!!!
Clay (Charlotte)
TGIF Buzz, I have a alcohol free wedding tomorrow...yay.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
That's why God invented bars open late night.
Christian (High Point, NC)
It's finally Friday, I'm free again, I got my motor running for a wild weekend
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
You dumped your girlfriend?
Pete (NC)
Didn't get to watch the Office last night. That means this chat will be the suck.
Nate (Madison)
I still feel like butt today. At least I think it's just a cold and not something like the flu.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Swine flu!
stephanie (cincy)
I am starting a rumor that Buzz goes commando
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
What if that's not a rumor?
Matt (IN)
Good morning all. I would like to welcome Kendra Wilkinson to Indiana.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Hey I'm late. I feel like Buzz today! Good morning, Buzz Nation!
RobbI (Clinton,Ky)
Good Morning Stupid bendadryl
Dave (vt)
Office and Always Sunny on the DVR need to get home soon.
Marc (Big D)
Yes, I am sure people are itching to read a site expressely about Tucson Sidewinder and Arizona Wildcat athletics.
Kevin McCalister (Chicago)
Buzz your girlfriend... WOLF
Matt (wortown, MA)
omg Nate has SWINE!!!
Clay (Charlotte)
Yeah, hangovers make you feel like you're sick.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, is it true that you have a little person inside your body running you with controls?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Yeah, who started that rumor?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Buzz probably can't find underwear to fit him anyway.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Girlfriend? If my wife is reading this, I would like to state for the record that I haven't had a girlfriend in almost 11 years.
Scott (Brewtown)
Well, it's Friday and I'll be heading up north for the weekend, with just me, 2 - 11 yr old boys and 2 - 8 year old girls. Looks like I better pack the Pepcid AC
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
As long as the Pepcid is laced with booze.
Marc (Big D)
Well we know Buzz is definitely not an anorexitic. You know, cause he's fat.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
That's illegal procedure against Matt from MA. We don't allow "omg" or all caps in the chat, rookie. 5 yards and repeat 1st down.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
An alcohol-free wedding? What are they, Amish?
Nate (Madison)
I'm sorry but maybe it's because The Office was pretty funny and my meds were making me drowsy, but I didn't find Community all that funny. Not bad, but not great.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
Community laid a good foundation. It will be worth a second watch. Then re-evaluate.
Clay (Charlotte)
You are not supposed to refer to it as Swing flu, it's the H1N1 virus. The pork farms started whining because their business was going down.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
So what did you think of the new Chevy Chase show?
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
It has potential.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'm really hoping that those are Scott's children he's going with.
Nate (Madison)
Yikes, I hope I don't have Swing flu. Don't even want to know the side effects of that.
Linda McMahon (WWE)
Buzz, I want to be your Senator. Join me!
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
Probably better than some of the other shmo's that we have in this state.
Pete (NC)
Anorexitic? Is that an exotic anorexic? Because that is definitely not Buzz.
Dwight K. Shrute (Scranton)
Buzz. How could you tell these people that I use store-bought manure when I SHOWED you where I get my manure!!
Clay (Charlotte)
Not Amish, redneck but doesn't drink...I know strange. Actually my brother was the first person in the family to have alcohol at his wedding and it was a cash bar. Pulse.
Christian's Wife (High Point, NC)
Funny, I've had several boyfriends over the last 11 years.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Nate's meds = Jack Daniels
Harold Baines (retired)
I still have more hits than Derek Jeter. How come I didn't get a celebration when I passed Lou Gehrig?
mike (worcester)
i think that the community will last one season
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I saw no 'must-see' tv last night. I intend to watch "The Office," on my daughter's laptop later.
Scott (Brewtown)
One of each are my kids and each could bring a friend.
Ty Webb (Bushwood)
Buzz I have a pool and a pond. The pond would be good for you.
Marc (Big D)
I think the Cubs came down with a bad case of swing flu this season.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
You're not alone on that one, Nate. I didn't find it all that funny, either, but I'm going to give it a few episodes to get going.
Scott (Indy)
Christian hasn't had a girlfriend in almost 11 years. But he's been married for 13. Don't tell Michael Scott.
Jimmy Johnson (FOX)
How 'bout them Canes!
Scott (Brewtown)
Some Wisconain politician is trying to legislate that we can't use swine flu by that name. As if we don't have other more pressing issues in this state. like the 4 billion dollar deficit, for example
Marc (Big D)
I have to give Community a chance to get Ken Jeong on the screen before I give up on it.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Must see TV last night way Starship Troopers on TNT.
BIRD [via mobile]
Buzz question for ya. American or british version of the office. Which is better?
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
I don't answer questions from animals. Especially birds. I don't want bird flu.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I've already turned down two trade offers in the MB FFL today. I think it's time for a nap.
Vince (NYC)
Watched Married with Children, great show and when you watch you'll see how many other shows stole jokes,ideas, even plots from that show. Also Always Sunny > NBC comedy shows
Nate (Madison)
Aghhh, I mean SNL Weekly Update.
Ruckus (tx)
Buzz that hurts
Scott (Indy)
I thought the same thing as most about Community. I'll give it a shot for a few more weeks and then make a decision.
Jeff (Cleveland)
You should check out It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, J.B. One of the best shows on TV easily!
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, that was a correction post for me calling it SNL Weekend. Was going to say that it came back strong as well.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Check.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Jay Leno show being on at 10 now means I can go to bed even earlier since nothing is good on.
Buzzmaster (10:11 AM)
I watched his opening monologue last night....is it just me or he is just not that funny? Or is it that he's just mailing it in? I don't know, but I wasn't all that impressed.
Matt (IN)
Speaking of fantasy football...Cory (PA) you sent me a trade offer for Joe Flacco. Problem is that he's not on my team.
Marc (Big D)
Always Sunny can also get away with alot more because it is a cable show. NBC could never run the gags that are common on Always Sunny.
Clay (Charlotte)
Did someone just refer to Married with Children as a great show? I think the word "great" has become watered down.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
How about those Cubbies, eh, SteveFitz? If I believed in such things, I'd say you put the jinx on them.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I've been meaning to take a peek at It's Always Sunny. I'm a Danny DeVito fan, being that my dad sort of resembles him. Taxi was one of the best sitcoms made.
Jordan (Peoria)
Ghosting on Leno on Wednesday night was hilarious
Matt (IN)
Facebook question: Can you disable the chat function?
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
Yes.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'm confused. Why would Patrick Kane be chatting on Monday when he has nothing to do with ESPNBoston?
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
I don't get the question.
Scott (Indy)
I was flipping between the SNL show and the new Survivor. How long before the evil Russell guy is gone? He can't last long emptying out the water and burning people's socks, can he?
Marc (Big D)
Matt, can't you just sign out of chat and not worry about it?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Christian: He is on the cover of NHL 10.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Ditto on ghosting.
Clay (Charlotte)
Yes Matt, there's a button where the chat is that says disable.
Carl (Chicago)
Oh the Irony. Mr Indianapolis himself broke his own cardinal rule. He talked sports.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
We are having a deer stew supper at camp this weekend. Bow season is in. Ever been bow hunting, Buzz? ( I'll be eating something else)
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
No.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Jay used to be funny, but it was he only doing stand-up. Once he got the Tonight Show gig, it went completely downhill.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Clay: Married with Children was a funny show. I can watch it now and still laugh. It broke rules and didn't care. Gotta like that.
Godish (Chicago)
Shawon Dunston is holding up the Cubs sale because he says the Tribune Co. owes him money for a college education from his rookie contract. He also states he doesn't intend to go to college anytime soon.
Tommy (ATL)
Buzz, would you give in to Brad Pitt kissing you if he became persistent and forceful?
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
If I initially resisted him but he was persistent, maybe I would let him. You know, just to see what it was like.
Clay (Charlotte)
Funny show yes, great show no. Soprano's is a great show. Mad Man is a great show. Married with Children...not so much.
Jake (San Diego)
how about Jacory Harris the guy is amazing
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Oh, Carl's back. Get a life yet, buddy?
Slick Rick (Chicago)
I'm going to ask Patrick Kane if his favorite tv show is Taxi.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Too bad there is not a EA NHL curse. Getting arrested for punching a cabbie for 20 cents would have applied
Scott (Brewtown)
I might have to pull the plug on Facebook. Even though I did not want to send ifriend invites to my address book, it did it anyway. There are about 15 families in there that I am only the coach of their kids babseball team. Now they think I want to be their friend. NO I DO NOT!!!
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
De-friend them.
Ron (Va)
Very bored last night. So I counted the number of doritos in a package. It was 149. I have to retrieve the package to see what size it was.
Christian (High Point, NC)
*sigh* my subtle dig against ESPNBoston chats the past week fell flat.
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
C'mon. You're better than that, poaching way overplayed, overused material, not cool.
Nate (Madison)
Scott you can adjust the settings so people can't find you on the search option.
tim (naples, fl)
Have Michelle and Amy Poehler ever been seen side by side?
Grant Phillips (Los Angeles CA) [via mobile]
''So entering and leaving retirement 3 times doesn't break the madden curse?''
Dan (Buffalo, NY)
Wow, Ron. Wow.
Clay (Charlotte)
Ron...umm, buddy, you need a life...coming from a TMBer, that's really sad.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Apologies. First day off of caffeine and soda. I'll work extra hard to bring back my A game.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
Please. Please, do.
Toby (Scranton, PA)
I have a daughter...how could I be a virgin?
Nate (Madison)
Honestly...if it wasn't for our quesadilla lunch today, I probably wouldn't have come in today.
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
I really like when people have their priorities in order.
Jake (San Diego)
so buzzmaster r u collin
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Negative, Ghostrider.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Jet Li, Julia Stiles, Alan Thicke.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
Just loggin on buzz, what I miss? JB here?
Nate (Madison)
Christian, you don't need to go completely cold turkey from POP, not soda, and caffeine. Just gradually take it down, so you don't crash so hard. Should improve your chat skills.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Having a free lunch and giving everyone his cold is a good enough reason to go to work
Tommy (ATL)
Have you heard of Parkour? Apparently it was the internet sensation of 2004.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'm impressed that Ron was able to count them without eating any. At least, I hope he did otherwise his numbers might've been off.
Kenny (Philly)
Sopranos was a great show, until they came out with the last 3 season
Marc (Big D)
UFC 103 in Dallas this weekend. I would like to go but I am not going to spend a hundo to get in the door when I can walk downstairs to the bar and watch it for free.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Nate: I've been dialing back on SODA and caffeine all week. It's go time.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
What Nate said. Cold turkey off caffeine could get mighty ugly.
jermaine (fort worth tx)
do you think there is to much hype over the cowboys new stadium
Clay (Charlotte)
Jake, would it have really taken that much more time for you to type the extra letters? That's just lazy.
Godish (Chicago)
It's called POP, you hillbillies.
Pete (NC)
Oh we're not going to have the soda/pop debate again. But if we are, I just have to say that it's soda because the South invented it, we have the two largest companies, and we get to name it. Period.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Then why did you name it in full as "soda pop"?
stephanie (cincy)
I spit out my coffee when Andy jumped into the Refrigerator box that didn't contain a refrigerator
Clinton (Indianapolis)
The bar's not charging cover? All the bars around here charge $5 or $10.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
UFC 103 is gonna suck
JB (TX)
Girl question: met a girl, everything going well, even got her to follow me from one bar to the next. However, eventually we find out we live in the same apt complex (not just complex either, same bldg) and she kinda withdrew. Tried to text her, no response. Do I try again, or just let it go?
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
Since you know where she lives, I suggest you knock on the apartment door and talk to her father and explain that you're really not THAT much older than her.
dman [via mobile]
willmcnabbplaysunday
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Fact: Soda Pop was a character in, "The Outsiders."
Nate (Madison)
Mayweather in round 4.
Ron (Va)
Oh I ate them
Matt (IN)
I just call them cokes. And I haven't had one since 2001.
Clay (Charlotte)
Pop, that just sounds stupid. It's not pop...it can be refered to as soda or the specific name of the product (i.e. Coke, Pepsi, etc.)
Scott (Brewtown)
I did a great job giving up soda cold turkey. I now only drink water......that's been washed over ground up coffee beans.
Jack (NB Canada)
Pepsi>Coke
Nate (Madison)
It's POP and a WATER FOUNTAIN. Not soda and bubbler.
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
What if you cross the streams and it's SODA and WATER FOUNTAIN?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Nate: Mayweather fight is going the distance.
Godish (Chicago)
JB, no response means ABORT!
Scott (Brewtown)
I was going to respond to JB but Buzz cannot be topped.
Marc (Big D)
I don't care what you call it, soda or pop, but I was dumbfounded when I ordered a Coke at this restaurant in Florida and the waitress asked what kind. Apparently any kind of soft drink is called a coke and then you have to narrow it down.
Greg (boston)
JB, let it go...
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Let it go for now, you will see her again.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wait a minute, Buzz. You said crossing the streams was bad. You're going to endanger us and our client, the nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog.
al (dc)
Just like changing horses, it's hard to join the MB in mid-stream
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
The world will end buzz, don't cross the streams
Christian (High Point, NC)
Can we all agree that the worst is the New Englanders calling it "tonic"?
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
I live in New England and have never heard anyone call it that.
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
Why all the New England hate this morning?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Nate: I do not appreciate your anti UMD comments.
Jack (NB Canada)
JB,Don't let her catch you taking her underwear from the laundry room.
al (dc)
Can we all agree that the worst is anything New Englanders do?
Clay (Charlotte)
Fact: You only cross the streams when you are fighting the boss at the end of a movie.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
It would just be creepy if you persisited.
Mike (Los Angeles (via Vegas))
JB, you're money baby, you're so money, you don't even know it. So do what I'd do, get drunk and call her 26 times
JB (TX)
Touche, Buzz. Touche...
Keith (MD)
I don't drink cola but a majority of people think that cola is the soda. strange
Stanley (Scranton)
It's not cheating if your wife is out of town on business, correct?
stephanie (cincy)
When Imoved back to Ohio after living in NJ/New York, if I asked for a "soda" they wanted to know what kind of ice cream I wanted
Christian (High Point, NC)
Maybe it's a Boston thing, then? Only place I ever encountered it.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Never heard it there either.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
I'm guessing they were ordering gin/vodka and tonic.
al (dc)
or a vodka tonic?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Actually, until the MB, I had never heard a water fountain being called a bubbler. I learned something in the MB? Holy crap.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Fact: Univ of Maryland is a Pepsi Cola campus.
Jonathan (Madtown)
Mayweather-Marquez is a joke, when will we seek Pac-Mayweather?
Nate (Madison)
Callin g pop, cola is like calling playing basketball, playing buckets. Shouldn't be done.
Reggie (Boston)
Hahaha my Grandma calls it tonic, Christian. I haven't heard that in a while though. And what's with all the hostility towards NE, Al? You're from D.C....
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
There you go, Christian. You bumped into Reggie's grandmother at the bar.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And D.C. is not in NE.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Isn't tonic something else differently? Like the thing they put in gin
Jack (NB Canada)
Bombay Gin and Tonic, best summer drink!
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
Tanqueray.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I don't care what you call it, as lond as it isn't "sodie" I hate that.
Reggie (Boston)
No Buzz, some people in Boston do call soda 'tonic'. Its an old-person's saying.
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
OK, then it's narrowed down even more. Christian was hanging out an old folks home.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I prefer Dry Gordon Gin with my tonic
Clay (Charlotte)
Gin taste like pine needles, I'll stick with Crown.
Greg (boston)
Buzz, good call, that's the only time I hear it. Gin and juice is so much better, though, so it should never be said
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Grr, cappucino machine doesn't have an add alcohol button...really could use some Sambuca
Don (San Francisco)
New England hate: Every time a Boston team wins, I can hear Matt Damon asking me about them apples. It hurts.
Scott (Brewtown)
Proof that Wisconinites older than 30 don't get it: In the JournalSentinel this am there is an article by a guy who didn't know that jorts were out of style and still spent ten minutes questioning people about it. Look around doofus.
chaz (sa tx)
*cough cough ONB cough cough*
Clay (Charlotte)
How bout some ONB?
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
Let's do it......
Michael Scott (The office)
PSSssssttt...... Buzz has an eating disorder.
Jared (Atlanta)
Here you go Colin your dream come true!!!!!!!http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Aviation/auction-241949490.htm
Chuck P (Ohio)
Why would Jeff Garcia go to Philly, when he could be starting some where like Carolina or Kansas City?Philly already dumped him like yesterday's trash and he got them to the playoff's.Is he going to play back up to the dogfighter after week3?Kolb is not the answer.With Donny hurt Jeff should be the starter this week instead of Kolb.
Wes (New Braunfels, TX)
We all like to see players and coaches make public predictions. It adds to the excitement of the game. A lot of eyes will be on the Jets and Vols. Hopefully the games will live up to the hype.
Chris (riverside, CA)
when will LA get a football team
Buzz (BuzzMansion)
Matt, would you leave me alone! I can't wait on you. I have to get up at the crack of 9:30. I have an early day Friday. I plan to be on time.
Anthony (NY)
Message for 10:50; Lunch: roll with chicken tenders, rib sauce, lettuce, and mozzarella cheese. Sounds bad, but actually tastes amazing.
Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)
Buzz, I thought you were like Bill Murray in all his films, but you're more like Michael Douglas in all his films.
jake (militti)
Will oregon beat Utah?Will Notre Dame and Nebraska win??? What about DUKe???
Joe Garza (Harrisburg,PA)
After looking at Penn States schedule, does anyone truly feel that they are worthy of National Championship consideration ?? Pleeeez !!! Fight on USC !!!
BJ (Colorado Springs)
I love Sportsnation, Around the Horn and PTI - but Skip is my favorite.
matthew wharton (atlanta)
why is the amazing catch during the atl vs mia game not getting any props
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
And that's it.....
Nate (Madison)
(Laughing) Scott, I just saw that article about 2min ago.
Jack (NB Canada)
Ever had Collins Mixer Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
Can't say that I have.
Greg (boston)
How can you hate new England this time of year, we have all the good foliage
Andy (Scranton)
Wait, I'm confused..........so am I gay or not ?
Clay (Charlotte)
Is that like a Tom Collins?
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Buzz, you gotta see Damon's new feature film....he actually makes you look like a genius not too mention that evil-looking stache.
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
I was just talking to LadyBuzz last night about maybe seeing our roomie's new movie this weekend. We'll see.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
A couple of guys from college that used to jam together jokingly called themselves the Tom Collins Band. Never played any gigs, just thought it was a funny name.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Buzz, do you agree with the ONB post about you being more like Michael Douglas than Bill Murray?
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
I wouldn't mind being either, as long as I also had their bank accounts.
Greg (boston)
Seriously, didn't you announce like 2 months ago you were stopping the ONB?
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
I don't recall that Senator.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
Come on Buzz, plug your buddies movie
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Did anyone else see the previews for Zombieland? Looks pretty funny.
Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)
Rickey don't know what that dude was talking about, because Rickey made the greatest catch of all-time but Rickey didn't play in the Miami - Atlanta game.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Damon gained 30lbs for his new movie. Looks more like Buzz now.
Clay (Charlotte)
A local band in Asheville used to be called S.T.D.S. because that was the first letter of all of the band member's names...apparently they didn't think that through.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'd rather be Michael Douglas. Two words (one hyphenated): Catherine Zeta-Jones.
al (dc)
ONB is AOK
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
We're taking the kids to see, "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," this weekend. It's in 3-D but I'd prefer 4-D with food samples falling from the sky.
Stevo Savannah [via mobile]
Anybody know any decent Sports related chats?
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Can't say that I do.
Joe Wilson (S. Carolina)
You Lie! You did say you'd stop the ONB.
Jack ( philly pa ) [via mobile]
Hey buzz How much patience do you think the eagles should have with kolb ? He scares me id rather see garcia
David (Ottawa)
What's better then chatting in the MB? doing it while wasting time working for the government of canada. man i love my job.
Nate (Madison)
Stevo Savannah? Is that his porn or stripper name?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Clay, you owe me a new keyboard, because I just spit coffee all over this one.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Buzz already told him to stop using his razor, now look at his stache, looks like a caterpillar sleeping on his lip.
Don (San Francisco)
I heard Matt Damon gained 30 lbs for his new movie. {Insert joke about Buzz and Damon eating a lot of food}... cause your fat.
Scott (Brewtown)
Stevo, try people.com
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Buzz, just give me the same respect you'd give Ben Afflack. (Great show debut).
Matt (IN)
Stevo, this is ESPN. There are no sports related chats.
Clay (Charlotte)
Come on, 30lbs. on Matt doesn't even come close to Buzz.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Start out my Friday with my co-worker scheduling a 9 a.m. meeting. I was not happy. But I got McDonald's for breakfast and I only work until 11 a.m. and then am off to play in a golf outing and drink the rest of the afternoon. I can't complain.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
I would love to waste Canadian tax dollars. You guys hiring David? But don't try to pay me in the worthless Canadian dollars.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
My porn/stripper name would be Rowdy Wright. I kinda like that.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
I wish I was fat, that would mean I was eating alot, I love food
Matt (IN)
So, they blocked Facebook here at the office. No big deal, but the IT guy told me it didn't have anything to do with productivity. They just wanted to save bandwith. I thought that was funny.
Jack (NB Canada)
Clinton also spit out his dentures.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Informant! is currently at 70% on Rotten Tomatoes (that's good).
Dave (vt)
Sometimes i just wonder if people dont look at the huge list of sports chats that is displayed on the right side of the screen.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Buzz endorses Twinkies, the breakfast of champions. (All he really needs is a cape)
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Why do people get so bent out of shape about us not talking sports? So we're not going to indulge your little homertastic rants, big deal. Are you that desperate to make your voice heard?
Marc (Big D)
Buzz you should move to Dallas, I found a place this morning that makes football sized breakfast burritos for under $4.
Jesse (Illinois)
I mistakenly have to work at 5 am tomorrow, bars close at 2 am. I think i might have an issue.
Jack (NB Canada)
Can we only chat about hockey and no football or baseball this season?
Ellen (Des Moines)
chilling here on the couch with 1st take and warming up with my snuggie....
Christian (High Point, NC)
Fact: IT guys never care about productivity (otherwise I wouldn't be here). They care about bandwidth utilization and whether or not a site could cause a lawsuit.
David (Ottawa)
No, they don't hire people in Canada, they just close thier eyes and randomly pick people. you have no idea how under qualified i am.
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
Good for you.
Don (San Francisco)
We can talk about collegiate rowing, if it makes Stevo happy.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
We have a coffee can sized burrito here that college drunks can't finish...but I'm sure Buzz could handle it.
Clay (Charlotte)
Jesse just don't sleep, that's what Nate and Brian will be doing.
Buzz (Football-Sized Burrito Stand)
I'll take three to go please.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
This was actually a great week of sports chats on ESPN. Just from looking to the right of my screen, I think we get a strong finish today as well.
Keith (MD)
Hey Buzz, remember the mobile posts are very similar to the ONB.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Way ot go Jack! Unfortunately, I don't think ESPN Canada is in the plans
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Jesse, you go from the bar, to a local early AM spot for breakfast, then straight to work. Used to do it all the time when I was younger and didn't care if I got fired for showing up reaking like alcohol.
Lady Buzz (Banditos Burritos)
You should just bring another bottle of hot sauce, this one's spoken for.
Scott (Brewtown)
I'm waiting for ESPN Amstradam, Germany
Nate (Madison)
So I'm either going out and getting boozed up tonight and goign on a date tomorrow, or staying in and getting sauced all day/night tomorrow. TBD.
Brian (Madison, WI)
That a boy Nate! Swine flu or not, Nate still boozes.
Jack (NB Canada)
I just spit out my Tim Horton's, thanks Scott.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I thought you put off that date last weekend. Gonna do it again?
Hayden (Logan, UT)
No sleep drinking work makes for a very long day, trust me.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Apparently, staying home and getting some rest is not an option for Jesse.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Wouldn't it be called, 'ESPNCanadaeh.com?'
Big Z (Chicago)
*is impatiently waiting for the ESPN Food Network*
Paul (Ohio)
Are you really serious clinton. They see espnradio or espn anything and automatically think sports. Logic dictates this chat should follow that theme. It does not. I first was take aback when I discovered this chat. But now realize that sports is not the norm here.
Pete (NC)
Buzz, I've always wondered what the .go.com is for?
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)
Go.com is the portal used for the site.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I understand that, Paul, but what I don't understand is the constant bitching and moaning about it.
Jack (NB Canada)
ESPN Canada does exist - The Sports Network - 25 years and counting
Nate (Madison)
I haven't talked to her that much this weekend....in an ideal situation I would have the date on Sunday night so I could go to the game tomorrow. But we'll see....
Mustard Burgler (Bristol)
Another good summer of thefts, fridge is filled for the winter.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
I definitely have to be wasted by 7pm tomorrow night....cuz I'm pretty sure BYU is gonna crush FSU....say it aint so Bobby.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
Canada has the internet?
Clay (Charlotte)
Paul, you will learn very quickly that we try to discourage anything logic related here.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Never....never take your date to a game. That's the man cave.
Paul (Ohio)
Why not rename this chat. The morning buzz..we are more than just sports. So no surprises to the newbies and passerbys.
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
Paul, read the chat intro.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
The mustard burgler! Long time no see
Wimpy (Burger Hut)
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Don (San Francisco)
Why is everyone spitting out food and drinks today? Are chatters so hungry they can't even wait for lunch? Way to make everyone fat, Buzz.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I remember when ESPN went to go.com. Does anyone actually use go.com as a portal site? I never see any attempt to push it anymore.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I'm going out with the guy tonight. 10.00 says I end up driving again.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
If I took a date to a game, I would be pulling what I have coined a 'JB'. She wouldnt answer my texts after for sure.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Our resident chat host, Buzzmaster, hosts a daily chat from 10-11 a.m. ET to help ease SportsNation into its day. Chances are we'll hit on any and all important topics, such as food, TV shows, pop culture and, yes, even sports. That's what's right at the top of the page.
stephanie (cincy)
Buzz don't hurt him
Jack (NB Canada)
Blackberry invented by Canadians.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I think I'll take him to a high school football game if I have to drive.
The Suits (Bristol)
Buzz, these chatters are getting spit everywhere. Clean this mess up, stat.
Nate (Madison)
Had to go to the grocery store this morning....had willpower, didn't buy a doughnut. I was veryyyyyy tempted.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Cougar alert...watch out there kiddies
Bob (Lowell)
this computor sucks. i started logging on at 10;10 and barely made lunch chat. Cheeseburger grilled at home by the way.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Interesting, I hadn't ever read that chat intro before. Good work Buzz.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Fact: On go.com right now is a video ad for sewing.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Robbi: Why don't you pre-empt your date by telling him you either can't drive or won't tonight? Someone needs to be the man in that relationship.
Robbi's Date (Clinton, Ky)
Well Robbi, you can drive or take my donkey......you're choice.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Lunch chat! Orange-walnut salad.
Marc (Big D)
Just found an article in Purdue's paper 'Police observe increase in student drunkenness'. I guess I wasn't doing my part last year.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
FSU better beat BYU
Greg (Ellicott City)
Lunch: $5 Footlong.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Lunch: Scuba diving. If I can't scuba, what's been the point of all of this?
Nate (Madison)
Lunch: Quesadilla lunch at work. Then depending how I feel....working the rest of the day or going home to med up and rest in hopes of conquering this thing by tonight/tomorrow.
Nate (Madison)
(As you can see, it's a slow day at work and our systems have been down most of the week so it's not a big deal if I go home)
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Lunch: Unsweet ice tea like Robbi, sandwich like Clinton, fruit
Scott (Brewtown)
Lunch: Undecided as I will be eating very late today,2pm, so I can skip dinner and head straight up north.
stephanie (cincy)
Lunch....I am going to gorge myself..Going to a cicis buffet
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Not sure yet, but I'm thinking Jimmy John's.
Matt (IN)
Having a burger at a nearby bar. Unfortunately no beer too.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Lunch: Something at the golf course. Is Nate really talking about leaving work early so that he feels better to booze? He's really taking it to another level today.
Greg (boston)
Lunch: Steam and wind biscuits
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I'm so glad that I'm finally over with the leftovers, I can't decide where to go. Maybe Quizno's
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Fact: SCUBA is an acronym. Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
Don (San Francisco)
Lunch: Just going to clean my keyboard.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
It's just because once he has been drinking , he refuses to drive. Since I'm not drinking, I end up driving.
Nate (Madison)
Well it's that or sit here doing just about nothing because I can't do my work because our corporate system is going haywire.
Paul (Lorain, OH)
That other Paul from Ohio is an insult to Paul's in Ohio. I have understood this chat is about anything and nothing for a while now!
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Lunch: the wife picks again....probably something (ugh) healthy. Really babe? Really? I don't like bean sprouts, I'd rather have fully grown beans
Jordan (Peoria)
Lunch: I will cut up the leftover NY Strip from last night and make a steak sandwich
Clay (Charlotte)
Alright SN, everybody have a great weekend, be safe. We'll see ya Monday. Oh and everybody watch for Lane Kiffin's stroke Saturday. Peace.
Marc (Big D)
I need a quick drink suggestion for my football viewing. Any good ones?
Buzzmaster (10:55 AM)
Tonic.
Buzzmaster (10:55 AM)
Gin and tonic.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Beer!
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
I gotta check MB FFL, last time I checked I got obliterated in week 1.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
Lunch: wishing it was beer
Urban Meyer (Gainesville)
Lunch: Preparing multiple 2 point conversion plays.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Hooray BEER!!!
Nate (Madison)
Beer, vodka/sprites, shots of absinthe?
J.Hunt (San Antonio,TX from (FLA))
LandShark
Scott (Brewtown)
If you are starting before noon, it has to be Bloody Mary's. otherwise anything goes
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I vote for Clinton's choice BEER.
Buzzmaster (10:56 AM)
Oktoberfest.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
A pitcher of Gin and Tonic can go a long way during a game.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Another great chat to end the week everyone. Looks like a super weekend here. Think I'll take the family somewhere now that AAA baseball season is over. Don't forget to set your lineups for Week 2, MB FFLers. Until Monday, stay safe and have a great weekend. Later.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Or, if you're not a beer drinker, you could try Jack Daniel's and ginger ale. Pretty tasty.
Christian (High Point, NC)
"Would you like a beer?" "It's 9 o'clock in the morning!" "Scotch?"
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Ssssh, I'm gonna order some rum with my coke, the mrs won't know.
Nate (Madison)
Oktoberfest, seconded!
Lady buzz (bristol)
bourbon and ginger ale
Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
Gin and ginger ale is good too. Gin, ginger ale and Disaronno is also good.
stephanie (cincy)
Hey Urban, make sure your kicker is warming up so he is ready to go when you are up by 35-40. Oh, and take all your timeouts too.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Das Boot!
Brian (Madison, WI)
If it's in a liquor store or bar you should drink it for a college football game. All of it at once.
Marc (Big D)
And for the record beer is a given. It is like water on FB weekends.
Nate (Madison)
Ok, everyone have a good weekend. I'm off to wonder around work because I have nothing to do right now.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
A little early for me, I like my oktoberfest in oktober
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
My experience in Munich for Oktoberfest was highlighted by a 70 year old man in lederhosen passed out on a small mound with a half eaten chicken and his wife over him yelling at him. It made for a great picture.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Add a straight shot of bourbon.
Hayden (Logan, UT)
Gin is rancid
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
Boooo.
Scott (Brewtown)
I thought it was October in Canada?
Don (San Francisco)
I don't normally drink beer, but when I do... I pretty much drink whatever's around. Actually, I also normally drink beer.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Tenn squeaks by Florida....35-34. See you Monday.
Keith (MD)
Quiznos while I get my oil changed.
Ben (Madison, WI)
Lunch chat: Leinie's Oktoberfest
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright, people, have a safe fun weekend and stay classy!
Brian (Madison, WI)
I had a few Oktoberfests the other night and they were fantastic. Made by Madison's own Capital Brewery.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Everyone have a great weekend. Stay safe. Bye y'all.
Keith (MD)
Octoberfest is well underway. Actually it is almost over. Strange
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
OK, we're done here folks. Thanks for stopping by this week. Good stuff all around. Enjoy the football this weekend. We'll be back on Monday. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Everyone have a fantastic weekend!
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Buzz, have a good weekend and it is still blistered on Monday, step up the medications.
Scott (Brewtown)
Roger, Roger. Over and out
The Suits (Bristol)
Lunch today is whatever Buzz is eating. It tastes better knowing it's his.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Everybody pull a Nate and Brian this weekend!
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
This weekend you people need to get lives
