I'm late, I have the start of a head cold and it was freezing when I woke up this morning. So there........
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
......Goooooood morning!
Milton Bradley (Chicago)
Who needs baseball?
stephanie (cincy)
Tim Tebow is human after all
Bob (Lowell)
Back to work after being off since the 10th. I need a vacation.
Marc (Big D)
Finished Lost Symbol and watched roughly 24 hours of football. Solid weekend. Boo Monday.
Greg (Ellicott City)
No Urlacher, no problem...
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I can't find the chat again.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
It could be worse, Buzz. You could play for the Lions.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Let's get this party started, right?
Neal (Philly)
Morning Buzz. There were some upsets on Saturday.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Good morning....Nole nation has something to smile about
Dave (RI)
Depressed Patriots fan here..
Neal (Philly)
I think USC will be #5 on the bottom 10 this week.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
'30 Rock,' for Best Comedy? Really? I still don't get it.
Cory (PA)
I heard Belichick and Pete Carroll are starting a support group.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
How come you didn't modify the timestamp this morning Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
Modify what timestamp?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I tried to climb up my (VERY steep) garage roof to get to a chimney to put a cap on. I slipped, started sliding down the roof, and, long story short, I'm lucky to be chatting today with only a few scrapes.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
Yikes, dude.
Matt (WorTown, Mass)
Good morning Sportsnation and what a great morning it is to be a Jets fan
Ryan (San Diego)
Ugh, Rivers 430 yards passing but they can't score inside the damn 10 yard line. Sooo many mistakes...was pretty exciting game to be at though
Matt (IN)
Good morning everyone. Milton Bradley needs to get a life.
stephanie (cincy)
Steve Sarkasian should send Jim Tressel a thank you note for knocking both Barkely and Mays out of the game on Sat.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Most games have went the complete opposite way of what I've thought this weekend so with that I would guess that the Dolphins are going to win tonight.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Oh here it is. The glee I felt when the Pats lost was soon replaced by gloom when the Steelers lost as well.
Keith (MD)
Stop the presses. Buzz is late. Buzz is late. Buzz is late.
Nate (Madison)
Head cold, huh? Yeah, I got one last week and I'm still trying to kill off the very end of it. Still stuck with this annoying runny nose.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So, instead of NE-NYJ, they showed Houston v. Tennessee here in Indy yesterday. Gus Johnson gets yet another exciting game.
David (Ottawa)
Cowboys lose, Vick back next week and Desean Jackson looks like he`s for real. Aside from the secondary, it`s alright to be an Eagle fan this week.
Matt (WorTown, Mass)
Walked into school this morning with my Namath Jersey and o man I think theres a plot to get this jerset burned
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
There's a timestamp next to your name when you post on the live update version.
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Thanks for pointing that out, Grason.
Anthony (NJ)
no fun sitting in the library waiting for classes..
Tom (West Loop)
Nephew was very sick over the weekend and ended up hospitalized. He's back home now, but I may have what he has.
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
SportsNation is falling apart.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
The UK /Louisville game was one of the worst college games I 've ever seen. Good Grief, someone has to get better.
Marc (Charlotte)
Back after a nice wedding weekend in Myrtle Beach, although I was the youngest family member in attendance by a good 10 years.
Pete (NC)
So apparently beating an overrated USC team without their QB means you should be ranked #24 in the country.
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
C'mon, we all know polls in the first 6 weeks of the season or so are all just knee jerk reactions to what happened the previous weekend.
Matt (WorTown, Mass)
The 9-year home losing streak is over!
Neal (Philly)
Medications that make you feel worse than you did before you took them suck.
Nate (Madison)
Unless they eat a ton of his contract, I love how Cubs fans think they are going to be able to just ship off Bradley (or even Soriano) like it's nothing.
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
The Cubs will eat Bradley's contract, there are only two years left. Soriano, on the other hand, ain't going anywhere.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Man that cold is getting around! Had that 2 weeks ago. Get lots of sleep Buzz best remedy.
Scott (Brewtown)
I heard Ochostinko actually bought those three seats and put 3 of his twitterer followers in them. And after three quarters it was pretty weak that the best the GB fan could do was give the bird.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Early season polls are like the Morning Buzz. Just a lot of nonsense with no meaning.
Nate (Madison)
So I was able to accomplish everything this weekend. Got to go out for some drinks on Friday, even confused the bar by playing Monster Mash and Winter Wonderland on the jukebox. Then tailgated and went to some of the UW football game on Saturday before taking a nap and heading down for my date that night, which went very well.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Give Washington its time at the bottom of the rankings, Pete. They'll be back to unranked soon enough. No big deal.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I found out at camp this weekend that my neighbor's daughter has swime flu.
David (Ottawa)
The sunday ticket is worth every penny is Canada for the sole reason that it allows me US commercials. You guys have no idea how lucky ou have it.
Vicki (Indiana)
my illness turns out to be a sinus infection and bronchitis.
Ben (Madison, WI)
Somebody will take Soriano, like the Rangers took Andruw Jones, if the Cubs pay 90% of the bill.
Tom (West Loop)
I saw the OchoCinco jump live, so it was pretty funny when that guy gave the bird. Even funnier when Fox said they couldn't show the jump.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Even though Wisco is 3-0 it's hard to feel good about them when every guy that touched the ball fumbled, against Wofford. Michigan St. has to be drooling.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
But was it the dirty bird?
Fake Nate (Madison)
Drink some Jack Daniels Buzz. It'll help get rid of that cold.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Big Z has offered to eat Bradley's contract as well as several hoot dogs.
Marc (Big D)
I think ND took the biggest blow this weekend losing Michael Floyd. He was pretty much unguardable.
Goose (Top Gun)
The Bird. You know, the finger?
JB (TX)
The Red Zone channel continues to be awesome. No commercials either. When does Scott Hanson go to the bathroom?
Neal (Philly)
One of in-game update guys said they weren't going to show Chad's Lambeau Leap because they like their FCC license (CBS, maybe?).
Matt (WorTown, Mass)
Better then H1N1 Vicki
Clinton (Indianapolis)
At least your team is 3-0, Brian. My team just lost to Northern Illinois and now has to play Notre Dame.
Charlie (Top Gun)
I know the finger, Goose.
Nate (Madison)
For people that say baseball is too boring to watch, I'm starting to agree with Simmons (I believe it was him) that football is becoming just as bad. Four plays, punt, commercial, one drive, score, commercial, kickoff, commerical, one play, penalty, one play, injury, commericial, two plays, punt, commercial
Pete (NC)
Played in a best ball tournament this weekend and one guy in the group in front of mine dunked it from 146 yards for a hole in one. Seriously, straight in the cup. I've never heard a louder sound on a golf course before.
Cory (PA)
I'm a Penn State fan, still waiting for preseason to end.
Jay Cutler (Chicago)
Yeah, I beat the Champs.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
NFL has to get their kickbacks, cuz attendance is low at the games
Ben (Madison, WI)
Good point Brian. Sparty's defense did hold the potent CMU Chippewas to only 29 points. They should be licking their chops to come to Camp Randal.
Jim (Del)
As an Eagle fan I was happier than I thought I would be with Kolb's performance. But I still think the eagles are in trouble if their defense/special teams don't step it up.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Friday at the golf outing I was in I took home $125 for winning the closest to the pin contest. 200 yard shot and was 5 feet away. Nothing better than free drinking money.
Marc (Big D)
Nate, that is why the Sunday Ticket is a must. So many games you can always find something live.
Patrick ( Louisville )
I'm beginning to think DVRing the 1st half and catcing up through the game is the only way to really enjoy a football game.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
But when do you go to the bathroom and order more wings if there are no commercials?
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
People who brag about their golf game need to get lives.
Tommy Terrific (Foxboro)
just woke up from the worst nightmare of my life..... The jets actually beat me
Milton Bradley (Chicago)
You got anything else Buzz?
Neil Patrick (Hollywood)
See me at the emmys. I was the cute one.
Nate (Madison)
Loved it when Milton Bradley was talking about the atmosphere with the Cubs and goes "Its no wonder they haven't won in 100 years". Classic.
mike randle (chicago)
finally milton is gone i couldnt wait i dont know if it was throwing the ball in the stands with two outs or not running out the bases or just the lack of hitting thank you chicago cubs at least u did one thing right this year
Patrick ( Louisville )
Well the obvious answer would have been the pause feature on the DVR. Or did I miss the *?
Pete (NC)
Buzz, it's called the pause button.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
True, true. But then you're pausing every five seconds, when someone new has to go use the bathroom. At least with the commercial breaks, you have built in bathroom breaks. However, fast forwarding through the commercials still is better.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I seriously considered paying the $300 for the Sunday Ticket but in the end, I put my family ahead of football. I just think I'd feel obligated to stay home every Sunday if I was paying that kind of money and I'm not big on obligations to the TV.
Neal (Philly)
If you can't order food in under 40 seconds, Buzz, there's something wrong with you.
Matt (WorTown, Mass)
Buzz still uses bunny ears on his TV Pete there is no pause
Matt (IN)
So Buzz, did Lady Buzz have another kickball game?
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Yes she did! Thanks for asking. Although this week wasn't as exciting as last week's come-from-behind game.
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
LadyBuzz and the team lost 5-1, with the team's only run coming in the 5th. LadyBuzz was 0-2 with two groundouts. So, for the season, she's batting .500.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
It's hard to order food in 40 seconds when Buzz is ordering everything on the menu . . . you know, because he's fat.
Gary (Memphis)
Hold on there. You telling me the cubs won't make the playoffs...again. When did this happen. Kevin of manassas must be heartbroken.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Yo, more wings, over here please. That's what, five seconds?
Tom (West Loop)
You order the wings while wathing the game, pause it, then go to the bathroom. What's the big deal?
Scott (Brewtown)
I think Buzz just paused the chat.
David (Ottawa)
Boss just walked in...first thing and only thing he said to me before going to his office was "If Ray Lewis was running this country, we would be alright."
Marc (Charlotte)
Did she get a hit?
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Not this week. But just a mini-slump. She'll be back kicking next week.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, did you see that the University of Minnesota is no longer allowing tailgating? What would happen to Nate and Brian if UW did that?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
AJ Mass would suggest that she needs a better fly ball ratio.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wouldn't that be kicking .500?
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Yes.
Matt (WorTown, Mass)
and just to put it out there next game is against the ravens so were looking at a 0-20 record?
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, do you tailgate at LadyBuzz's Kickball games?
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
Ummmm, yes I do, actually. Not this past game, but the one before that. Brought the beach chair. Cooler of beer, lunch. Supposedly they're going to do a post-game tailgate after their game next weekend.
Neal (Philly)
Marc, they will just use a breathalyzer on any student previously kicked out of a game. You can still tailgate, but you can't try to enter drunk.
fred (omaha)
buzz she may be batting .500 but her team isn't any good, there is no i in team buzz
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
No, but there is in win and losing.
Nate (Madison)
Brian is going to the UW/Minnesota game up there, I was suppose to but have job issues that Sunday. $30 bucks and all you can eat/drink 3 hours before game time, in downtown Minneapolis (Alumni tailgate).
Marc (Big D)
And in other news, freshman enrollment at the University of Minnesota has dropped 43%.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I'm heading to the Wisco-Minnesota game next week, they better allow tailgating. Not like it matters, I'm headed to the UW Alumni bash where people actually know how to party before a game.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Football without tailgating? Just cut the program all together. What a travesty.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Some low-scoring kickball there, Buzz. How many players in the field?
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
11.
Jake Fox (Chicago)
Hey, I made an appearance last night and hit a 2 run HR to beat the Cardinals. Lou Piniella loved it so much he's benching me for the year.
Brian (Madison, WI)
That Jake Fox joke was lame and I don't get it.
Godish (Chicago)
First stop in Madison on Saturday was the Buffalo Wild Wings. I put my name in a drawing that occurred after every Badgers score. I won twice, so they gave me free beer. They're just giving booze away up in Madison.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, Chris O'Donnell was on the Emmys last night and even attempted to crack a joke. I say attempted because the response was very half hearted laughter from the crowd.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
We should start a pool to see if the Lions can break the Bucs longest losing streak....I'm betting on the Lions on that one.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
All tailgating, or just not allowing alcohol at the tailgate? How exactly do you enforce that?
David (Ottawa)
The trick to kick ball (as a pitcher) is to throw the bouncing curve ball...its almost a gauranteed out
Neal (Philly)
I remember playing kickball at recess in 3rd grade. One of my classmates let the first ball go by so he could pump his Reebok pumps. He then proceeded to kick a homerun.
Scott (Brewtown)
So, I had the 4 kids upnorth and on Saturday we did: climbed the tower, took a two mile hike to explore some caves, went to the beach, had lunch at a dirt bike facility, went back to the beach to swim, went to a go cart place, went mini golfing, had dinner at camp, went for ice cream, and cliimbed the tower at night. I passed out at 8:30.
Nathaniel (ohio)
I did not know one used a bat during kick ball. I thought it was a turn to kick, not to bat.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I wonder how you'd throw a brush back pitch in kickball.
Pete (NC)
The Saints have scored 93 points in 2 games. The Rams have scored 7 points in 2 games. How are those numbers even possible?
Don (San Francisco)
Actually, I'm probably head home soon after getting an email out. Some sort of cold/congestion.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
I think what Jake is tryign to say is he has rookie of the year type numbers, but Lou won't play him. After Jake hit the HR he walked up to Trammel and said (call on me more). For some reason when Jake has a good game Lou benches him for the next 10 games.
Marc (Big D)
*2 Years ago* One thing that will NEVER be discussed on the MB is kickball. You can take that to the bank.
Clay (Charlotte)
Morning Buzz, sorry I'm late. I know you missed me.
Vicki (Indiana)
man who in this chat isn't sick?
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
Something about the change in the seasons that brings on the cold season. I hate it.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
*Does this send me back in time?*
Nate (Madison)
Don is sick too? TMB is going down in flames.
Tom (West Loop)
So Chris O'Donnell, LL Cool J and the principal from Kindergarten Cop are the stars of CSI Los Angeles? Does that make it better or worse than Strahan's show?
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
Strahan has a show?
Nate (Madison)
So Brian and I have a friend that is a nanny. The family she nanny's for have her and another nanny (one for each kid) and the mom is a stay at home mom. Then people wonder why these kids grow up with attitudes.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Or rowing.
Vicki (Indiana)
I used to only get allergies in the fall
Brian (Madison, WI)
That's cause Jake Fox really doesn't have a position that he's good at. They even said they ask him what position he plays and he said "Hitter."
tom* (parkville, md)
Define sick.
Don (San Francisco)
Strahan's show is 50% making fun of the gap in his teeth, from every preview I've seen.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
damn, computer viruses have evolved
Anthony (NJ)
its not csi its NCIS
Marc (Big D)
So Fox cancels Arrested Development but gives a show to Michael Strahan. No wonder networks are hurting for money.
Cory (PA)
For me the fall allergies trigger sinus infections. I'm sure you all were wondering.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
In 4th grade while playing kickball this kid (boy) kicked the ball right back to the pitcher (girl) and it hit her square in the face. Blood everywhere. They didn't allow girls and boys to play kickball together after that.
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
Why is it a girls/boys thing? Why didn't they just take the bad kickball players out of the game?
Vicki (Indiana)
dang what kind of ball did they use?
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
When you swing a bat like that you find a position.
Brian (Madison, WI)
*Knock on wood* I haven't been sick that didn't involve alcohol in quite some time.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
None of us are shocked by that statement.
Scott (Brewtown)
I need to go get some coffee, how about the ONB (it's like a commercial break for the MB)
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
Let's do it.....
RJ (Boston)
Look, Michael Crabtree I know you just want your money, and Imma let you finish... but John Elway had the best First Pick hold out of all time.
Matt (WorTown MA)
So with sunday being my favorite day of the week and with my face hot glued to Jets game and my gf who sat through the whole game I think she just found out what a sunday actually is and one more thing the 9 year tenure of losses if over!
Jessica Simpson (via mobile)
Mr. Bottom Heavy sucks. Duh, everyone knows you throw it to first base, not to the power forward on the other team.
ray GORDONREID ( TALLAHASSEE FLORIDA 32306)
MY COMENT NUMBER2 AT 9.55AM RIGHT NOW BUZZ WE ARE FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES BUSTED BYU BCS BALLOON
RAY GORDON REID ( TULSA OKLAHOMA 74103)
MY COMMENT NUMBER11 NOW BUZZ YOUR THE GREATEST
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
and that's it.....really lame one today.
Eddie Harris (Cleveland)
Sometimes I put a little jalapeno in my nose, get it runnin and then just wipe my nose on the kickball
Cory (PA)
A bowling ball Vicki, X-Treme Kickball sponsored by Mountain Dew.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
We played a game in Jr. High where you used a wooden baseball bat and a kickball. The pitcher would bounce the ball in and you'd hit it with teh bat. They called the game, 'Baloney Ball,' but no cold cuts were involved.
Rick Vaughn (Cleveland)
You put snot on the ball?
Christian (High Point, NC)
"today"?
Clay (Hillsdale, MI)
That ONB was pulse
Clinton (Indianapolis)
The part I hate about sinus infections is having to show your ID and sign a form to get the Sudafed that actually works. They keep it behind the counter now because of all the meth-heads buying a ton of it to make their drug. Pure Pulse.
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
And even better is if you can't get to the pharmacy before they close, or on a weekend when they have shorter hours. Then you can't get it at all. Thanks dumb meth heads.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
I remember playing tennis baseball as a kid, talk about being juiced....everyone got at least a double.
Kanye (Connecticut)
Buzz, I'm really happy for you, but The First Take has one of the greatest chats ever....I'm just sayin'
stephanie (cincy)
Can't wait for lunch today. I was so rushed this morning, that I had no time for breakfast.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
When America reconquers the Moon can you imagine all the extreme zero gravity sports that will be played? ESPN would be out of control.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Oh Steph, at your suggestion. I watched Glee. It was pretty good.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Tennis baseball? I'm assuming you used a tennis ball and baseball bat? I can't imagine a baseball getting hit with a tennis racket would go very far.
Clay (Charlotte)
Fun thing to do: Go to Walmart, ask to hold look at one of the rifles (you guys have guns in Walmart right?), then ask where the ski masks are.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Yeah and heaven forbid if you have to back for a second round. They look at you funny.
Cory (PA)
One time I tried to buy enough Sudafed to last me through the winter and DEA agents jumped out and tasered me. True story.
tom* (parkville, md)
I know, Clinton. Makes me wonder if it would be easier to just buy meth when allergies hit.
Jordan (Peoria)
I have typed in probably 10 posts and delelted every one of them...I have got nothing today
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
At least you're honest about it and not whining.
Vicki (Indiana)
the Walmart I work at doesn't sell firearms anymore
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
There's probably a reason for that.
tom* (parkville, md)
Will America conquer the Moon before the Moon conquers America?
David (Ottawa)
Buzz, just go get some from the meth-heads...its all about who you know.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Really lame ONB today, Buzz? You say that as if it was an unusual occurrence.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
ESPNtheMoon
Nate (Madison)
In high school our baseball coach had us in the gym during a rainy day and we were playing this game with a tennis ball. You would hold the big part of the bat and try to hit it with the handle, etc (we had a pretty big gym). Well not the brightest idea, the bat slipped out of someone's hand and hit my buddy square in the mouth. Let's just say he had to have lot of "dental" work done over the next couple months.
chaz (sa tx)
do NOT i repeat DO NOT take too much benadryl, it causes loss of muscle use.. horrible feeling.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Laughing hard at Clay.
Jack (Toronto)
Can't buy Sudafed over the counter, but you can buy a gun at Wal-Mart. Good ol' Second Amendment.
Christian (High Point, NC)
We invented a new game with my son. It's called "Pinata Ball". You use one of those giant bouncing balls and a wiffle ball bat and just wail on the former with the latter. Lots of fun.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
you're batten .090 now Jordan.
chaz (sa tx)
Random Ruckus update: he was being real bummy this weekend. last night he got up started burping and threw up on the floor. as i was cleaning it up i realized there were chunks of aluminum foil. he got in the trash again..
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
Let me be the first to not thank you for that update.
stephanie (cincy)
have you ever noticed that no matter which Wal-mart you go to in the country, it is all the same people?
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
That's deep.
Tom (West Loop)
Just got an email that the Tigers are selling ALDS tickets tomorrow. If that's not a bad omen, I don't know what is.
Fake Clinton (Indianapolis)
America's already being destroyed by these dang kids with their long hair and Rolling Stones cassettes.
Milton Bradley (Chicago)
Got anything SN chat related?
Patrick ( Louisville )
For a second there I thought Ruckus was your son. Thank God
Matt (IN)
If he's 1 for 11 he'd be hitting .091. You round up.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
-damn- we lost another ball to low gravity, this is getting expensive.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
My friend had a paintball gun. We both liked shooting it. But I was too poor to get my own. So instead we made up a game. Someone would run across the field and you only got one shot to his them. It was a painful game. I didn't like playing it much.
Cory (PA)
Yeah....I like Ruckus...but I don't ever want to know about anything that comes out of Ruckus...unless it's leprechaun gold or something.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
It wouldn't exactly be zero gravity sports, but it would be 1/6 gravity, I think. Buzz still wouldn't be able to dunk, though, because he's fat.
tom* (parkville, md)
Ruckus! Stop eating that leprechaun gold! Ruckus! RUCKUS!!!
Marc (Big D)
Ruckus would be an awesome name for a 325 pound DT. "And Ruckus knifes through the middle for another tackle, what a game!"
David (Ottawa)
Is it bad that the only reason I get up in the morning is for the MB?
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
Not at all.
Dave (RI)
I am going to spend my evening playing madden on ps3 and playing the jets on easy so I can beat them over and over to shake this funk
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Rex Ryan (NY)
Take that Belichick!
stephanie (cincy)
Buzz, I go to Target, normal people. Go across the street to Wal-Mart, same people I saw at the Wal-Mart in Bentonville, Arkansas. I think they bus them in.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
When I was a truck driver, we were stuck at our terminal over Labor Day weekend, we bought paintball guns at a local Walmart and "tagged" another company's trucks at their yard.....blue trailers with yellow spots......ahhhh boredom
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
Teams that aren't 3-0 need to get lives. And practice more.
Marc (Charlotte)
Had some work to do, now I'm back. I miss anything of importance?
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Hahahahahahaha.
Patrick ( Louisville )
Dave, no. It got me through a good 6 months at work once. I no longer work there though
Ruckus (sa tx)
Reynold's Wrap: It's magically delicious.
Pete (NC)
My dog had an ear infection and the vet gave me drops to put in her ear. Long story short, she tried to attack me after I tried the first time. Yeah, the vet will have to do it from now on.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Ever since we got a Target by us a few years ago, I rarely go to Wal-Mart and it's just across the parking lot from Target. The funny thing is that I go to Sam's Club a lot and they are owned by the same folks who own Wal-Mart.
Nate (Madison)
I want to clothesline this preppy "my pulse doesn't stink" guy that keeps walking by my desk.
Buzzmaster (10:45 AM)
Go for it.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
Teams that have beaten an overrated Notre Dame and 2 directional schools all at home need to get...oh wait, that's me.
Patrick ( Louisville )
Before my firends went on a road trip they went to walmart to buy some cop insurance. The purchase, a big Support Our Troops magnet and a mini bible for the dash. And it worked in AZ. They got passed by a cop as they were going about 25 over. He saluted.
Ralphy (Indiana)
I once owned a BB gun and almost shot my eye out.
David (Ottawa)
Patrick: Fired for chatting? That's a new one.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Go for it, Nate! We haven't had a good criming in a while.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Labradoodle.
Joe Pa (PN)
Hey Rich- your sched is still a lot better than ours!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Yeah, Rich Rod, as an EMU grad, I can say this: Beating EMU isn't a reason to celebrate.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Same here, J.B. The grocery is much closer than Wal-Mart. Last time I was in there was to do some Christmas shopping.
Vicki (Indiana)
I still like to shop at Target. their cosmetics selection blows Walmart's out of the water.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Nate, is his collar popped? Is he from San Diego?
Clay (Charlotte)
A friend of mine's FB status said yesterday "I either need to stop speeding or get prettier."

Only one of those two things you can fix.
Old Man (Indiana)
It says Fra-ge-lay? Must be Italian
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Red Rider BB Gun. An American classic.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
My work just blocked eBay. When will the madness end?
JB (TX)
Speaking of office clotheslines, what ever happened to Terry Tate, Office Linebacker? That was a great ad, think it only ran during that Super Bowl...
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
You finish the jo, you make some mo'.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Regular Chat > BB Chat > Dog Chat............> Rastall
Vicki (Indiana)
I just flirt my way out of tickets
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Cop insurance...well put, Patrick.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Cosmetic surgery Buzz.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Plastic surgery Buzz. Get into the 21st century.
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Yeah...I'm still not convinced that actually makes you look better.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Please don't mention that BB thing.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I'd put dog chat ahead of BB chat, actually, but you still have that last part right.
Marc (Charlotte)
My laptop decided to die yesterday. Started beaping and all of a sudden it says I don't have a hard-drive. Thankfully its under warranty.
David (Ottawa)
Buzz, disagree...plastic surgery is doing wonders these days
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
It does, look at Joan Rivers. Case and point.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Just made it to say Way to Geaux Saints! The Eagles would not have won that game even if McNabb had played.
Nate (Madison)
So at the tailgate on Saturday, I saw this girl wearing these TIGHT biker shorts (UW ones) that should not have been wearing them. Well she was trashed, stumbled into this guy then proceeded to basically face plant. They didn't kick her out though, so the rest of the time we would see here and our entertainment was wondering what she would do next...fall over? Spill a drink? Combo of the two?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Is it too early to do 'Christmas Story' references? I mean we still haven't hit Halloween yet.
Buzzmaster (10:50 AM)
It's never too early for Christmas Story.
Patrick ( Louisville )
Lunch: more doughnuts!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Marc (Big D)
Heroes, How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory start tonight. Heroes has kinda pulsed out, but I figure I may as well DVR it for while I am bored.
Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)
Lunch: Gas station food
Pete (NC)
Chad, that word is seaux eauxverrated.
Clay (Charlotte)
Don't worry JB, they always start putting X-Mas stuff up earlier and earlier, trees should be up shortly.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Check out Buzz, busting out the italics!
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Wow, that card stadium looks awesome. Why can't you do that Buzz? Too fat?
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
That is pretty sweet. First Take has a guy on building a stadium out of cards.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Did anybody catch the Informant this weekend? If so, how is it?
Buzzmaster (10:52 AM)
Sadly, LadyBuzz and I didn't make it to the movies this weekend. Perhaps next weekend.
Marc (Charlotte)
House also returns tonight.
David (Ottawa)
And I'm out like MJ's knees after his second stint with the bulls. see you all tomorrow.
Brendan (Louisville, KY)
Lunch: turkey.... wait... whats that noise... DAMN YOU BUMPASES!!!!
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: Sandwich, Chips, Nutty Bars, Apple
Christian (High Point, NC)
Why would you ever stop doing Christmas Story references? They're worthwhile all year long!
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
The Informant was quirky yet funny, if you don't like 70s style elevator music you should skip it.
Matt Damon (BuzzMansion)
However, LadyBuzz and I did manage to catch "The Informant" this weekend.
Chad (Las Vegas)
That's because LadyBuzz already 'saw' the new Matt Damon movie.
Marc (Big D)
Buzz, what are we talking trading cards, playing cards, greeting cards?
Buzzmaster (10:53 AM)
Playing cards.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
One of the only bad things about having toddlers: not making it to movies often enough. I can't wait until they turn old enough I can take them to rated R movies.
Cory (PA)
My sources tell me it's alright.
Vicki (Indiana)
lunch: sandwich, tea, and antibiotics
JB (TX)
Lunch: $5 footlooooong (Meatball). Also, always happy to see the Dallas Cowboys lose, but Jerry Jones has my respect for putting cage dancers into his new stadium.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Lunch: Sandwich and pretzels. Pretty standard boring Monday lunch.
Dan (Buffalo, NY)
Buzz, make sure you give Patrick Kane his change, or else he may beat you up
Buzzmaster (10:55 AM)
He didn't get on the guy for the change, it was for locking him in the car.
Marc (Big D)
I heard the Informant was kinda meh. I was on the fence so I think I may wait to redbox. Adventureland was my choice this weekend. Two thumbs up.
Anthony (Nj)
saw the informant, me and my buddy liked it, m other friend was like what???
Nate (Madison)
I've come to the conclusion that it is true....Tom Cruise does have some kind of running/sprinting scene in every movie he's in.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Lunch: Chex Mix Trail Mix, Sandwich, Water
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Jerry Jones will pay that guy $500,000 for that stadium.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Touching on something Tom said, I distinctly remember seeing a father with his couldn't have been more than 7 year old son while seeing Watchmen in the theatre. Now I don't have kids, but even to me that seems like an epic fail in the common sense department.
Marc (Charlotte)
Hochuli must be traveling right now. No way this was a penalty free chat.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Buzz going italics on us. Can we do that too?
Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
Give it a whirl.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Breakfast pancakes...Lunch will probably be leftover pizza from my kids birthday party this weekend.
Nate (Madison)
So on my date on Saturday I thought I would have to go the movie route or dinner. She suggests going out for a mild Nate and Brian night, aka a couple drinks, so let's just say she started out and remains high in my book.
Chad (Las Vegas)
Clinton maybe the kid was 14 and just short.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Thanks to NBC for re-running the season premier of 'The Office' Saturday night. Plenty of laughs as far as I was concerned. Off to a good start for Season 6.
Vicki (Indiana)
I've read about parents taking their kids to see horror movies.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
This concludes our broadcast day....see you all tomorrow.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Marc, it was a fixed chat.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
testing testing
stephanie (cincy)
I have been to movies where parents brought babies and didn't take them out when they started crying. I had to go tell the manager
Cory (PA)
I believe I would kill a man for a short stack of pancakes right now...
Jack (NB Canada)
Hardcore parcour!!
Don (San Francisco)
Lunch: Warm warm soup at home
Daniel-San (By dumpster)
This damn bike! I hate this bike. I hate this friggin' bike! Stupid bike.
Tim Donaghy (chat ref)
I was filling in for Ed today, and I had the under on total chat penalties.
Cory (PA)
Have a good day Morning Buzzers! And remember, traffic cones are not food!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Happy Monday... Bye, y'all.
Jack (NB Canada)
A lot of kids go to see the Toronto Maple Leafs play.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
That's illegal procedure against Marc for questioning what the Chat Ref is doing. Way to ruin the penalty free chat. 5 yards and repeat 1st down.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Lunch: Healthy, but I'm craving IHOP pancakes with blueberry syrup, eggs, hashbrowns with tabasco sauce and bacon with sausage.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
*i*testing*i*
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
