Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Goooooooooooood morning!
Internet Whiner Guy (Cyberspace)
Buzz you better post my comments today! Make no mistake I will go to The Suits if you don't start being nice!
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Last day Buzz. :(
Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Too bad Grason. Tune in Monday to find out what we think.
Ben Gielow (Rochester, NY)
Why do people think that when football comes around in the fall every other sport just falls into nothingness?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Starting with a bit of Missy Elliott today.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, folks! Finally, it's FRIDAY!
Big Red (Evansville, IN)
Who is more likely to go the NLCS this year. Colorado or St. Louis
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Unlike the Dallas Cowboys, Buzz has managed to have a strong finish to the chat week. Excellent lineup today.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
What does casual Friday mean for you in the MB, Buzz? Is it no shirt to match the no pants, or do you don a Hefner-style robe?
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
All of the above.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Actually, I'm wearing sneakers to work for perhaps the first time ever.
Jack (NB Canada)
If you are lying to me, right now, Pam, your baby is going to come out a liar. That's how it works. They inherit things through the breast milk.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
I will have the fanciest thing on the menu, unless there's ribs........Unless there's ribs.
Clay (Charlotte)
Good Morning Buzz, it's Friday, it's payday and apparently I got a raise today...I'd like a congradulations from you.
Matt (IN)
Good morning everyone. Happy Birthday to Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is now a man! today (she's 40)
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
That's a five-yarder on Grason for the use of an emoticon. Watch it, bub. Don't make me run you in your final game.
Ryan (San Diego)
That's because they do Ben
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm heading to the Red Wings game tonight. With the increased security measures, I had to call ahead and see if they'll allow a diaper bag for my two toddlers. Having to make that call almost gave me pause about going to the game.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Good morning. I've got that Kings of Leon song stuck in my head, and it's driving me nuts!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Who knew Toby had such a foul mouth?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Let me get this straight. You're going to text me to ask for directions...the morning of my wedding day.
Spelling Police (Pull Over)
Clay, it's congratulations, not congradulations.
JB (TX)
Speaking of Hefner, can't believe he's having a new Girls Next Door w/three new chicks! Does he not realize Bridget is irreplaceable??
Ryan (San Diego)
I am wearing shorts and flip flops to work for the 5th time this week...it's great
Nate (Madison)
I'm actually taking it easy the next two nights...possibly having a couple one night but otherwise school work. Sunday, another story. Brewers bus trip at 9am.....this will be classic.
Marc (Big D)
It pains me to say it but the Office kinda sucked.
David (Ottawa)
Another fine day in the MB.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I'm still not sold on Community yet, but I'm going to give it a little time.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
I DVR'd it. Going to give it a whirl this weekend. I'm willing to give it a handful of episodes to decide if it's worth adding to the rotation. I did that for Parks and Rec before deciding, thanks but no thanks.
Don (San Francisco)
Buzz, I think the Lomas Brown hand comment from the BM's desk was a bit creepy.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That scene with Dwight and Toby in the car was priceless. So was the scene where Dwight and Toby faced Darryl down in the warehouse.
dave (home)
hey buzz,i havent been here in a while have ya missed me?
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, can we be co-hosts of TMB?
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Sure. You pass out while I do the chat.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
I could use somebody...
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Marc: Really? You didn't like the fake cheese cart? I thought it was a solid episode.
Ryan (San Diego)
So Nate instead of drinking friday and saturday, you're just going to save it up and get extra smashed on sunday? To be hung over for monday? Sounds about right
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I liked both episodes of Community so far. It's no 30 Rock or The Office, or even Glee, but I'm recording the season on my DVR.
JB (TX)
I'm sold on Thursday Night College Football.
Marc (Big D)
Agreed Clinton, I finished it and was like "...ok?".
Cale (NJ)
You ever see the show nitro circus buzz?
Nate (Madison)
Office - not great but solid. Community - earned the right for me to give it a couple more shows. The Spanish rap at the end was pretty cool.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Stop that, Robbi! Don't get that song stuck in my head.
Bob (Lowell)
Buzz, yesterday's lineup was almost TOO good. So much going on at 1:00 that it was impossible to keep up.
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
And we even had a couple of cancellations. The 1 time slot just kinda happened. Almost too much.
David (Ottawa)
Anyone else see that video of that girl flipping out at the Lions home opener? Youtube that if you haven't already, it's pricless.
Vicki (Indiana)
Wohoo I'm on vacation from work! Too bad I still have school.
Jordan (Peoria)
Dwight vs Daryl in Toby's office where Daryl asks how anyone can confuse his sister for him was hilarious!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Mentalist was good last night, albeit a little predictable. I'm starting to figure out his tricks before the other characters do, which makes me concerned the writers are losing their creativity. That said, Cho is still one of the best non-Burn Notice characters on television.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
So yeah, this chat page doesn't work at work. I'm sick and at home. Been here all week. Figured why not join today.
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
Well, well, well.....
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Today's chat board works really well. One solid guest every hour until quitting time. That's the way you do it.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
I like how Nate acting like an 18 year old is praised.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm so glad that I have XM, audiobooks, and my MP3 player all available for use in my car so I NEVER have to hear that stupid Kings of Leon song. NEVER.
Jordan (Peoria)
I agree that community was good enough to give another look at.
Scott (Brewtown)
Can't chat today, too many appointments, but I just wanted to say Good Morning, have a great weekend and on Monday when I chat again I will be one more year removed from youthfulness and one high school career away from an AARP card.
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
Scott, you old SOB, have a good weekend and a good birthday!
Marc (Big D)
Before someone says it, yes Always Sunny was funny.
Don (San Francisco)
Robbi - please don't infect the MB with that song. It's still ringing through my head after hearing it in the ride into work this morning.
Nate (Madison)
Hey, if there's a pay for that...I"m in. Ryan, exactly! Actually I have the ok to come in a little later if I want on Monday.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Can I write antagonizing questions?
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
Why stop now?
David (Ottawa)
Is anyone else eager with anticipation to see Kimbo fight next week on The Ultimate Fighter?
Tom (West Loop)
So Nate being 21 or 22 and acting like an 18 year old is unusual?
JB (TX)
Hey look, it's the WIR guy.
Carl (Chicago)
How can you lame o's keep a job if all you do is chat all day. Before you start with me clinton the all professing, i only chat about 5 or 10 minutes each day, right around this hour.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Well well well? I figured I should get a much better welcome back than that. Sheesh. Afterall, I'm kind of a big deal round these parts.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Out of sight, out of mind, my friend. Kinda like that skanky ex-girl friend from high school.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Oh my god, that's...that's Robert's music! Business is about to pick up! /Jim Ross
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The Prodigal Son returns. How are you, Robert?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Dang, I missed everything last night. Stupid neighbors.
Clay (Charlotte)
Robert, welcome back...about damn time.
Nate (Madison)
Wow, you're right. I should act uptight....not enjoy life.....basically be THAT lame guy. I'm serious when I need to be (school, work, etc), but after that I like to enjoy myself and have fun....so sue me.
Buzzmaster (10:11 AM)
I will...Where's that Jalter kid? I need a lawyer.
Clay (Charlotte)
David, Kimbo is going to get killed...just like Vick
Brian (Madison, WI)
Nate wishes he was only 21 or 22.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
so yeah, 2.0 really does work. Sorry for all those "2.0 is the suck" comments like 6 months ago. I would like to recant by saying "office internet is the suck"
The Suits (Bristol)
At least he's not an old and fat SOB, unlike the chat host.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Would you all rather someone referenced, 'Poker Face?'
Dave (RI)
No vick talk today, please!
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, you're not going to get much....
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And you spend that 5 or 10 bitching and moaning at us to get a life. WTH?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Robert expected a warm welcome to the MB? Obviously he didn't read yesterday's chat about who would be missed in here.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Carl, you're assuming that we chat all day on here. FAIL.
Ryan (San Diego)
Robert has been busy giving Plaxico prison consulting...finally done
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Yay, Robert.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'm glad Robert showed up, because he needs to turn in his man card for being upset George is dead on Grey's Anatomy.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
The 2-hour premiere meant that I only had to watch half of it with LadyBuzz last night. Office was first on the viewing list.
David (Ottawa)
Oh c'mon clay, you can't actually believe either of those things...I'll stay away from Vick...but you have to figure Kimbo last's more then one fight.
Mike Vick (Philly)
I've got a life, I didn't do life.
Nate (Madison)
Yeah....21, 22? Ummmmm, I wish.
Vicki (Indiana)
at least you have internet in your office. I don't :(
Brian (Madison, WI)
Since Robert is back I expect that he has read all the transcripts and we will be getting a WIR. It would be like Hulk Hogan coming back and not getting the shirt rip-off routine.
Marc (Big D)
Has Grey's Anatomy really not jumped the shark yet? They had a whole episode where the main character's ghost walked around. Come on.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
The lady friend made me watch it, Christian.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Christian also needs to hand in a man-card for knowing that George is dead on Grey's Anatomy.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Clearly I will be missed on Monday. Hopefully Greg can hold down the fort until I'm back in a month.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
If half of Grason is here, isn't all of Grason here?
Tom (West Loop)
I just assumed you were that age because of the amount of drinking you do, though I guess I drank that much until 26 or so.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, can you translate crazy for me? I think David might be confused.
Nate (Madison)
Robert owes a SIR...Summer in Review.
Jack (NB Canada)
Megan Fox on SNL tomorrow!!
justin (Boston)
ok do you think they have a real chance to win the super bowl?
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
No, I don't. They suck.
Bus Driver (Raleigh)
*THUD* Holy crap, I just hit a guy in an orange jumpsuit!
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Negative on the WIR....and the SIR...and pretty much any IR.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Yep, 26 works, we'll stick with that.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Since when does reading EW mean you have to turn in your man card? I call shenanigans on that ruling.
David (Ottawa)
Are we seriously talking about Grey's Anatomy? This chat has jumped the shark.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
We just keep on jumping that shark, it's like a tradition
Marc (Charlotte)
Alright, all caught up on the chat and as usual I missed nothing.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I know this is usually reserved for me, but BOOOO Robert!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Except if that IR is injured reserve, which Robert is currently on with a case of the plague.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
Keep the H1N1 to yourself. I have a big weekend planned. Maybe a little Bed, Bath and Beyond. Maybe a trip to Home Depot, but I don't know. I don't know if we'll have enough time.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I have a serious issue to discuss here: bugles versus fritos. Fritos taste better, but bugles are more fun to play with. Isn't there a way to combine the taste of fritos with the shape of bugles?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Interesting that the phrase "jump the shark" gets more play now than anything else that Fonzie ever did, even "AYYYYYY!"
Marc (Big D)
Anyone catch FlashForward? I am definitely huluing this weekend.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
We want a WIR!!!
Cory (PA)
I am sick of being busy whilst I'm busy being sick.
Rich (Douglas AK)
Ladyfriend? No wonder you were gone for so long.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
oh and I read the transcript the Monday after dad passed away. Seriously, thanks for all the nice comments.
Jeff (Iowa)
Jailer robert, how are you? Me too, I can't always drop by anymore.
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
I want the Doritos!
Christian's Mom (High Point)
Didn't I tell you not to play with your food?
Clay (Charlotte)
If I have my druthers I'm probably going with Fritos.
Tom (West Loop)
I love Fritos with chili. It's like deconstructing Frito pie.
David (Ottawa)
Frito's everytime. They are so addicitive.
Vicki (Indiana)
if you have the flu you can try the Colt McCoy flu-fighting diet
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
My girls want to go over to our AAA stadium to watch them tear up the field tomorrow. Can't figure that one out for the life of me.
Ryan (San Diego)
I could probably jump a shark
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I prefer Bugles, both the taste and the shape.
David (Ottawa)
You know the day is going to stink when at 10:18 you're already thinking about going home.
Jack (NB Canada)
I bought a house Buzz. Move next week on the 1st day of the NHL season.
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
You have an odd way of marking time, sir.
Jack (NB Canada)
Bugles and spray cheese - best snack ever
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I'm going to say Fritos, but barely. Like a 1a vs. 1b kinda thing.
Nate (Madison)
Robert, my grandpa uses the term ladyfriend.
stephanie (cincy)
Bugles. You can put Frito's on your fingers and poke your sister in the eye with them
Jack (NB Canada)
Guacamole/haberno doritos are yummy.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
BarBQ fritos are wonderful..
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Fritos > Bugles > Funions
Jordan (Peoria)
Or stab anybody with them, right stephanie?
Tom (West Loop)
He is in Canada, Buzz. Doesn't everything revolve around the NHL season? Jack, can you get me some tickets for Olympic hockey games?
Marc (Charlotte)
There is an NHL season?
Rich (Douglas AK)
Buzz, have you been to therapy? Because you are way more relaxed than you used to be.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Maybe. It might or might not have been a part of a court order.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
A Gallo chat this afternoon? Hmmmm, I might have to rethink leaving super early today. On second thought, never mind, I'm leaving super early.
stacy (ky)
hey buzz how are ya?
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
It depends. Are you done screaming about not hearing from your annoying friend?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
If you are already at home and thinking about going to work at 10:18 AM, that's probably worse.
stephanie (cincy)
hi robert
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Olympic hockey games maybe, but It's gonna be slovenia vs Latvia. All the big games are old out since the tickets came out
Christian (High Point, NC)
Whoa whoa whoa ... bugles with spray cheese? You just blew my mind friend.
stephanie (cincy)
I meant to say you CAN'T put Fritos on your fingers and poke your sister's eye out. Not that I ever did that mind you
chaz (sa tx)
dont tell anyone guys, it might sound weird BUT, puffy cheetos instead of breadcrumbs for meatloaf . its the best.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Anything with Guacamole is GOOD.
Marc (Charlotte)
Honey Barbecue Frito twists are quite tasty.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Hockey season one week away. Color me pumped. Go Canes!!
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
What kind of pumps?
Clay (Charlotte)
chaz, that's gross.
Jack (NB Canada)
My company(a sponsor) actually sent an email out that we have tickets available for Olympics events. Small issue is that you have to find your own hotel and plane ticket.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, since I give you props for good chat lineups, I feel compelled to tell you that today's chat lineup is a bit dissapointing.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Whoa whoa whoa ... puffy cheetos in meatloaf? This chat is beginning to drip with awesomesauce
stephanie (cincy)
I put corn flakes on top of scalloped potatoes. Awesome
Dee Brown (Boston)
I love my Reebok Pumps.
fred (omaha)
i had a court order too buzz but not for that
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, how about we show Robert how bad the ONB has gotten?
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Let's do it.....
peter griffin from quahog [via mobile]
i am a better patriot then tom brady. hahahahahaha. buzz wanna go to the clam
Jason (Hedges)
Who is the Better Fantasy start this week: Cory Buckwalter (Den) or Thomas Jones (NY)
Sharon, WI. [via mobile]
I'm not sure whats going on with Tony Romo. but his game is completely off. Do you think he suffers from a broken heart???
Rich, Fairhope, AL [via mobile]
In the Arkansas @ #3 Alabama game this weekend, what will be the biggest thing that the Alabama Defense has to do to stop Arkansas and maintain their ranking or possibly move up in the polls?
Andrew (springfield, mo) [via mobile]
I have heard rumors of MJ returning to the hardwood. Do you think there is actually a chance that the greatest of all time will play in the NBA at the age of 50.
dustin jaynes (indianpolis,ind)
will the lions go 0-16 for 2 years straight
Lomas Brown (Bristol)
Buzz, my hands might be the size of your head, but your stomach is larger than me!
LadyBuzz (BuzzMansion)
Buzz, did you buy the raisins and juice packs for my kickball league games this weekend? It's our turn to bring the snacks.
Buzz (BuzzMansion)
Mr. Damon, here is your sandwich, sir. But I can't hand it to you without violating the 10 foot limit of your restraining order.
mike (mi.)
would you trade matt forte for addai and willy parker
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Clay, I don't care what you guys think about me, otherwise I wouldn't keep coming back.
103chris23 (hampton,VA)
Kimbo Slice can't fight
Justin ((PA))
So I haven't been involved in the MB in a few months because that job thing of mine keeps getting in the way. Apparently when you start working at work they expect the same out put every day. Anyway, all this Vick talk is uncalled for. In his prime, Vick could win any game at any time (solely because of his athleticism, not his decision making skills nor passing ability). In a season, he could win you 10 maybe 12 games. Michael Vick could never win the Superbowl and that's what really counts. He could never stand toe to toe with 3 playoff defenses in a row to get to or win the Superbowl. My grandmother told me one time that since she broke her hand she couldn't play piano. Then informed me that she couldn't play piano before she broke her hand. Catch my drift. Peace out ONB
Wil Vega (Orlando, Florida)
I am a transplant New Yorker livingi in Orlando for 30 years. I am still loyal to all New York teams baseball, basketball, football, etc. That being said, I have direct TB and the NFL package so I could watch the Giants or Jets on Sundays. This Sunday, 9-27-09, both the Giants and the Jets are scheduled to play at 1 p.m. Does any body know who is the brainiac in the NFL that scheduled both New York teams at 1pm? Is there anyone or anything that we can do, as fans of a city that has two teams in the same sport, that are playing on the same day and time, to change the schedule?
swany (sheffield, pa)
can someone explain to me why Cris Carter is not in the hall of fame? what an injustice.
Nander (nj)
Is Roger Federer good at ping-pong, video?
Nick Kolb (Michigan)
I think Tate Forcier should be considerd in the heisman. He's done a good job.
Mike (KC)
Will Todd Haley be a "one and done" head coach?
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
And that's it....
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
I need to work on my sarcastic questions for Gallo.
Matt (IN)
Oh wow Sharon. That is turribull.
David (Ottawa)
The best about working for the government: Free Olympic tickets for almost all the events.
chaz (sa tx)
NO WAY clay really try it, crumble the cheetos up, its really really good, its really just seasoned bread crumbs when u think about it.
Ruckus (sa tx)
dont tell anyone guys it might sound weird but, meat loaf from the trash. its the best
Ron (Va)
Like I said with no post given me....Hockey..aaahhhggg
Marc (Charlotte)
Lomas Brown's hands were bigger than Buzz's head...but not his waist, you know cuz Buzz is fat.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
wow, the ONB is still rocking. I love the Federer ping pong comment.
Tiger Woods (Atlanta, GA)
Somebody mention fist pumps? Watch this.........*pumps fist*
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wow, I'm bleeding from the eyes after that ONB.
Marc (Charlotte)
I'm now dumber for reading the ONB.
Brian (Madison, WI)
ONB made my head hurt.
Nate (Madison)
Chaz found the shift and/or the CAPS lock!
Christian (High Point, NC)
I think Justin's been gone too long, he's starting to lose it.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Since it happened to me I'd like to berate Justin for posting a novel in the ONB.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Go ahead. Throw your rocks.
Dave (RI)
wow.. that was bad. Worst one of the week i think
David (Ottawa)
And I will go on record as saying Kimbo wins next week. Roy Nelson is just a fat, over rated nobody. How does the IFL champ still have to fight his way to the UFC? The answer is cause he stinks.
Clay (Charlotte)
Should I feel bad that Zach is trying to start a fued with me? Wait, nevermind...BOOOOOOO Rastall.
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
I was watching Conan O'Brien last night and he made a joke at Larry King's expense.......I promptly changed the channel.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Have to admit the LadyBuzz kickball snacks post made me smile.
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
LadyBuzz does have kickball this Sunday. And they are having a cookout after. I'll have a full report next week.
stephanie (cincy)
Cheeeto have no food in them. Bread crumbs come from bread
Tom (West Loop)
I am glad that there is a little notice when the ONB comes up. It gives me time to go to another tab and look at something else.
chaz (sa tx)
oh and steph, cereal on taters, very good.
Marc (Charlotte)
Stones Buzz... Throw your stones.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
You do realize Rastall's like a freshman in hig school, Clay? It'd be like kicking a puppy or something.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
lets hope that ladybuzz didnt get her kickball skills from buzzs softball skills
fred (omaha)
sweet buzz i cant wait for that cookout, ill bring the oktoberfest
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
I sure hope that the next LadyBuzz kickball update includes atleast a double or a triple.
David (Ottawa)
prediction: LadyBuzz got 3-3 with a walkoff home run, which is followed by all the ladies on her team giving her awkward high fives, most of which will miss the target.
dennis (boston)
Buzz i got 2 weddings this afternoon, and work in the morning.....wish me luck
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
You're going to both weddings? How does that work?
stephanie (cincy)
chaz, you haven't lived until you have tried my Cocoa Krispie bars. I use breakfast items for everything I make, which are the taters and the bars.
Tom (West Loop)
I had some Bell's Oktoberfest last night. Quite tasty. Bell's just keeps getting better and better. First Oberon and Two Hearted Ale, now Oktoberfest.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
I picked me up some Leinie's Oktoberfest. Gonna pop those open tonight.
Theo (Philly)
and parmesan cheese on popcorn. awesome
Ryan (San Diego)
If I didnt know better I would think it was chaz who gets his food out of the garbage...wait i dont know that
Clay (Charlotte)
HAHA, I wish I could give Rastall a swirlie.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Clinton, age doesn't matter when you deserve a whoopin. It'll teach him a lesson about talking back to his elders.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Certain cereals make great ice cream toppings. Rice Krispies, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Oh's are at the top of my list.
Marc (Charlotte)
I like Goose Island Beer, but being in Charlotte makes it tough to find.
Nate (Madison)
Two weddings on a Friday afternoon?
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Kickball prediction: Lady Buzz starts a huge rules argument when she tries to bunt.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
Bunting is allowed and encouraged.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
2 weddings in the same afternoon? which mean only one party after... Sounds like a bad deal to me
Marc (Charlotte)
LadyBuzz won't kick 3 times because there are 27 people on the team.
Nate (Madison)
Ok, so I watched some of Leno and Conan last night. Why take Leno off the Tonight Show if you're basically going to give him a show that is pretty close to it? Were they close to losing Conan or something and that was done to keep them both? I don't really get it.
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
That has to be it. I watched part of one episode of Jay's show and I didn't get it. It looked like his old show. Same format and everything.
Ben (NC)
Top 3 topics I hate being discussed on the MB#3 The Yankees #2 Hockey and (drumroll please)#1 stephanies favorite toppings.
David (Ottawa)
Lay off Rastall, he probably gets abused enough in the locker rooms during period 3 gym already
Dave (RI)
Who gets married on a friday afternoon? Thats why we have weekends
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Cabbies in Chicago want to charge $50 for a vomit fee. So Nate and Brian need to have extra cash on them the next time they are here.
Don (San Francisco)
So... LadyBuzz plays sports on the weekend while Buzz runs errands at home furnishing stores.... shouldn't LadyBuzz be the new Buzzmaster?
Brian (Madison, WI)
Leinie's Oktoberfest > Capital Oktoberfest > Sam Adam's Oktoberfest > Bell's Oktoberfest
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
That's high praise for Leinie's. It better live up to it tonight.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I, too, put parmesan on my popcorn. Loads of it. I also put it on my eggs.
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
Maybe dennis is a wedding crasher who gets discovered early and thrown out right away. Two weddings would be reasonable.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I see Brian is still an alchy...it's always best when nothing changes.
Mark (Raleigh)
This is the worst chat ever. This is so pointless
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
Thank you.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Jay Leno five times a week at 10 PM = Weak sauce.
Jack (NB Canada)
There were afraid Jay would jump to another network so they gave him the new show.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
And there are no rules about where you can peg runners with the kickball, correct Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
Yup. And they take that seriously, whipping the ball at the runners.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Nate: Yes, they were worried about losing Conan a few years ago (I think 2005). They gave him a new contract to promise him the Tonight Show starting in 2009 to keep him around to keep his youthful viewers.
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Which just means that Jay's show can suck and have bad ratings, but because it's Jay Leno, they'll probalby keep it around. Plus it's cheaper than producing an actual TV show.
Vicki (Indiana)
I once went to a Friday wedding. It was a fun one.
Cyndi (Yo' Dreams)
If you fall i will catch you, i'll be waiting
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
I just had a powdered jelly donut and now my desk looks like a drug addict.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I love me some Leinie's.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
There was nothing funnier in kickball than the over competitive guy who would whip the ball at the girls running the bases to try and hit them in the head an knock them down. Funniest stuff ever!
Tom (West Loop)
I think Time had an article about Leno's show calling it the future of TV because it was so cheap to produce.
JB (TX)
Cinnamon Toast Crunch > all other cereals
JB (Tx)
Buzz you're still fat.
Vicki (Indiana)
Cookie Crisp is the cereal king
Marc (Charlotte)
I went to a wedding last weekend. I was the youngest there by about 10 years so I danced with the 22 year old photographer.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I went to a taping of Letterman while I was on hiatus from here. Rather boring. However, the guy from the office who was on The Hangover was there.
Bob (Lowell)
So does that mean that this is cheaper than producing an actual chat?
Buzzmaster (10:37 AM)
Definitely.
Clay (Charlotte)
Grason, just put a razor blade next to it and leave it there all day. See if anyone comments on it.
JB (TX)
Grason's desk = Ryan's desk
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Are Leno ratings that bad? I heard they were better than anticipated
JB (TX)
Umm, that wasn't me, but fake JB is right, you are fat.
Nate (Madison)
So I usually have Honey Nut Cheerios. Tired the Apple Cinnamon Cheerios this morning.....Honey Nut still is #1.
Clay (Charlotte)
Oh's>Apple Jacks>all other cereals
Clay (Charlotte)
I'm sure the bride was really happy that the photographer, who she was paying big money to, was dancing with you.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
MY buddy and I have an annual NHL bet. Last year was would the Atlanta Thrashers finished in 1 2 or 3 in the division or 4 or 5. The bet - A box of Count Chocula.
stephanie (cincy)
I don't eat cereal, I just cook with it.
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
So, do you scrape it off of your potatos before you eat them?
Vicki (Indiana)
Clay, how do you know it wasn't the groom who was paying for the photographer?
Tom (West Loop)
Leno had a good start, but the ratings fell off pretty quickly. They should make it a 30 minute show and start it at 11. Screw the local news.
Ben (Orlando)
So, have you guys pied Michelle in the face yet, after she willingly said she'd take it?
Jeff (Iowa)
Robert. Is not being able to be on the morning buzz like time in solitary.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Leno actually had a pretty funny comment the other day. "52% of women have used sex toys. The other 48%, have new ones" I laughed pretty hard.
Internet Whiner Guy (Cyberspace)
Man Buzz this chat is so lame it doesn't even matter if you post my comments! Who cares about cereal and Jay Leno?!?! This chat sucks!
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Actually, I've been pretty busy at work. Even if office internet wasn't the suck, I couldn't have chatted.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
The networks would love to do away with the local news at 11:00, but they can't due to the FCC regulations requiring certain programming "in the public interest."
Michael Scott (Scranton, PA)
Nobody steal my cereal idea. Sure, I can't cook but I am starting a restaurant. Mike's Cereal Shack. I'm thinking we'll have as many varieties as you can buy in a store.
stephanie (cincy)
Why put the corn flakes on the top of the potatoes only to scrape them off? You are just silly Buzz. And fat
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
You're the one that said you didn't eat the cereal. Who's sill now?
Clay (Charlotte)
Vicki, okay how about "I'm sure the bride was happy that the photographer who was getting paid big money to take pictures of her special day..."
Jim (Columbus)
People that complain about this chat, I mean, they're already miserable.
Ari (los Angeles) [via mobile]
long time listener first time caller... thats it.
Ryan (San Diego)
I'd quit Robert
Nate (Madison)
I had to double take Ben's post...thought he wrote peed and I was like WHAT?!?!
Robert (Raleigh NC)
There was actually a cereal bar in Raleigh. It had like 75 brands and 5 types of milk to choose from. It is not a real bar.
Christian (High Point, NC)
That's not true at all, Tom. The network stations around here, a couple of them don't have 11pm news anymore. They show Seinfeld.
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
Is it WB or something? I'm guessing it's not NBC, CBS or ABC.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
R.I.P. Jevan Snead's Heisman Hopes.
Vicki (Indiana)
either way, it's hard to take good pics while dancing
Tom (River North)
Chicago had a cereal bar too. I think it lasted a year before closing.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
We're not miserable Jim, we just think this chat is missing on its potential.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Did Robert mention a bar?
Nate (Madison)
Is this really Jeff? His posts just seem to be missing something and it's making me suspicious
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Yeah, not Jeff.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
This chat has a potential?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Well, there's a station here that doesn't have 11 o'clock news because they do it at 10.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Actually, Christian, it is true. Those networks that show other stuff at 11:00 just have to put their "public interest" programming in a different timeslot (which can't be late at night).
Tom (River North)
I think that guy was referring to Tressel's quote about Buckeye fans complaining after the loss to USC.
Nate (Madison)
J.B., you mean RIP Jevan Snead's imaginary Heisman hopes.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I mean what a terrible idea. "Hey Mitch. Tough day. Gonna need the hard stuff. No, not the applejacks. Bring the Fruity Pebbles. With Skim. Leave the Box"
Christian (High Point, NC)
Nope, ABC.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Our news comes on at 10:00.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Yeah, they ran a front page story in the Chicago Sun-times about how cool the cereal bar is and will be. 6 months later it closed down.
stephanie (cincy)
RIP to 'Ole Miss being in the top five
Ryan (San Diego)
RIP Ole Miss hype machine
Clinton (Indianapolis)
*applauds Robert* Well done, sir. Well done.
Marc (Charlotte)
The Bride was my cousin. She didn't care. There were other photographers there.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
What ever happened to Louis Gossett Jr.? Or as I like to call him "Chappy".
Nate (Madison)
Robert, might have to go 2% and get all crazy....
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Really funny Robert.
Marc (Charlotte)
Iron Eagle II, Iron Eagle III, and Iron Eagle IV happened to him.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People with lives > Ole Miss's top 5 hopes > Ohio State's Top 5 hopes
stephanie (cincy)
If you are going 2% you mind as well go for whole.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Personally, I only use 1% milk.
Dwight (Scranton)
Buzz's way past the middle of his life. Especially considering his height to weight ratio
Cow (Pasture)
I heard milk makes you weak
stephanie (cincy)
Hey Rich, Ohio State isn't/wasn't ranked in the top five, Ole Miss was
Nate (Madison)
Whole? (gag)
Tom (River North)
How come no talks about Tressel's quote as much as RichRod's? He basically said the same thing, but it in a less direct way. The quote: When I read some of them I feel terrible for them because there's no way they're happy," he said. "They've got to be some of the most unhappy people in the world, and I feel bad because we just made them less happy, and I hate to be a part of making someone less happy. I mean, they're already miserable.
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Because the local media loves Jim Tressel. And RichRod's an outsider.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'm looking at the ABC schedule and I'm seeing nothing in the public interest. Maury at 4, the Doctors at 5, Family Feud at 6, Deal or No Deal at 7, Frasier at 11 ...
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
1% is for people that can't make up their minds. Make a decision. Either go healthy or fat. Don't hedge on your make.
Fake Clinton (Indianapolis)
You young folks should be thankful for your milk choices. Back when I was 75 we could only get it straight from the cow.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Because Jim Tressel did it a little more eloquently?
Don (San Francisco)
Because Jim Tressel looks like a librarian. And no one thinks librarians are interesting.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Tom, It's all about quotes: they need to get a life = good quote
JB (TX)
Buzz always goes fat. You know, because he's fat.
chaz (sa tx)
1%?!?!? 2%?!?!? might as well drink white water. its all about whole milk.
Vicki (Indiana)
I've heard that straight-from-the-cow milk tastes grassy
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Yeah you better hope that cow stayed away from the wild onions.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Thanks Vicki. I'm sick enough without that thought in my mind.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Lunch = Healthy
Dave (Pa)
don't beat around the bush and just come out and say it. ohio state sucks
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Are you going to try and milk me Focker?
Nate (Madison)
Vicki....gross.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Mexican restaurant not too far from the office.
Don (San Francisco)
Buzz uses butter on his cereal.
Tom (River North)
It was pointed out to me that humans are the only species that drink the milk of another animal.
Marc (Charlotte)
Vicki, how do you know what grass tastes like?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Lunch chat: roast beef sandwich, water, pretzel nuggets
Tom (River North)
Lunch: breakfast. I'm feeling like some bacon, eggs and toast would do me good this morning.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Carlos "Psycho" Zambrano vs Tim "The Freak" Lincecum tonight. Can't wait.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Lunch: a fancy place for free (taking an interviewee out)
Nate (Madison)
Lunch: Not sure yet.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Lunch: 7 layer salad, unsweet tea.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Lunch: Stouffer's frozen stromboli thing with a whole mess 'o baby carrots.
Larry King (Via Mobile)
Call me crazy folks, but for my money it just doesn't get any better than multigrain Cheerios with 2 percent milk and blueberries. If you can find a better breakfast, I 'll eat my hat.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
LUNCH: Um, uh, um...geez I have no idea. Let me think about it while I munch on some butter toffee peanuts and I may come up with something.
Mike Golic (ESPN)
POTROAST!!!
Vicki (Indiana)
well i don't. it's just what I've heard. All milk I drank came from the grocery store.
chaz (sa tx)
not true tom AT ALL, other species have been known to nurse other species.
Buzzmaster (10:53 AM)
For nursing, sure. You see a cat raised by a mother dog or something. But they don't just drink it for the heck of it.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Lunch: Might order a pizza. Don't feel like cooking or going out. But at least I have an appetite. Haven't ate much food this week.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Lunch: chicken breast sub
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Has Robbi ever had sweetened tea?
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
We'll discuss that on Monday.
Urban Meyer (Gainesville)
Lunch: Flu shots for everyone up in 37F.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Lunch: Either leftover sloppy joes or a salad.
chaz (sa tx)
lunch:breakfast: denny's grand slam
Brian (Louisville)
Lunch: Marie Callender's Lasagna. Yum
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
Have a good one Buzz.
Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)
Lunch: Greatness
stephanie (cincy)
If milk is so good for us (which it is not) why does it have to homogenized, pasteurized, and sterilized? Cows milk is for calves, not humans.
Matt (IN)
Lunch: Pizza delivered. It's been raining for 3 days now.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, you're wrong. I can almost bet you if you put a dish of milk (from a cow or what not) in front of a dog or cat or some other animal....they'll drink it.
chaz (sa tx)
i agree with that buzz, but hats not what HE said.
JB (TX)
Lunch: not sure, but I'm taking longer than my alloted hour. Also, congrats to Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian on their fake, contrived, made-for-reality-TV wedding. I wish them weeks and weeks of happiness.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Lunch: Some grassy milk
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
So what, we're the only species with cars and planes.
Vicki (Indiana)
same here matt. my sunday school class is suppose to go to a park tomorrow. not sure it'll happen.
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: I think I'm going to have some greatness like Rickey.
Dave (RI)
Lunch: Lobster roll during my trip to maine today
Buzzmaster (10:55 AM)
Good call.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
It is homogenized, pasteurized and sterilized because it has to be transported and stored for days. We freeze meat to keep iot from turning bad too, doesn't mean it's bad
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Oooooh, lobster roll. That blows my lunch away (mostly because I don't have my wife's cooking today).
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Raining here as well, messing up the festival this weekend.
Nate (Madison)
I don't know Louis. I saw this cartoon once...called Tailspin. This really smart bear owned a plane. Man, just disproving everything.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Still nothing on lunch but it should be tasty. Gonna head on out to prepare for some of the great chats lined up for later. Thanks for a great week all. For my MB FFLers, get your rosters set for Sunday and don't forget your FLEX player. Have a great weekend, be safe, enjoy the football, and catch you back here Monday. Peace.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, how about you try to get us a NCAAF chat today?
Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
I'm always trying, but everyone travels on Friday. Hard to get someone.
Brian (Madison, WI)
My roster is set JB. My flex player is Steve Smith.
Tom (River North)
Have a great day and weekend SN! Michigan goes to 4-0 tomorrow which allows me to call out Tom (West Bloomfield) on Monday for mocking me when I said it in August...
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Enjoyed chattin again. Take care everyone. I know it sounds silly, but always see you guys as friends and truly do miss the chat.
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
Glad to have you. Now, keep your H1N1 to yourself.
Dean (Vermont)
What's this? Milk talk? Heck, I can get anytime at the neighbor's dairy farm..... don't need this during my SN time.
Don (San Francisco)
So Buzz, are we going to get B-list stars next week to compensate for this great week of chats?
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
It depends...how does Shawn Marion, Roger Staubach, Barry Melrose, Len Pasquarelli and potentially Usain Bolt sound?
Marc (Charlotte)
Wasn't Tailspin a Disney Cartoon?
C-mac (A-Tex)
Ya'll are making me hungry...Lunch tomorrow: Wings, Beer and football!!
Nate (Madison)
Have to say, I had my first full lobster when I was in Maine over labor day. I looked gross (like a bug) but was pretty good. Got water everywhere though.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Everyone have a really good weekend. Take your umbrella. Bye y'all.
Buzzmaster (10:59 AM)
Ella, ella, ella.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
B-List stars? Is Jon Stamos stopping by?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Tom (River North): I'm wearing my Hoosier red all day today. We'll see who wins tomorrow.
JB (TX)
On the milk thing, my ex GF was lactose intolerant, so one day I decided to try some of that lactose-free milk on my cereal...BAD decision. That stuff is horrible. Have a good wknd all, steph don't stab anyone...
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I don't remember mocking Tom (River North) in August. Then again, I mock so many people it's hard to keep track of them all.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, wish me luck, I'm going car shopping tomorrow morning.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright everybody, have a great safe weekend and stay classy!
Marc (Charlotte)
Wait a second... Brian made a decision?
Christian (High Point, NC)
Everyone have a great weekend! Drink milk!
Greg (Ellicott City)
You stay fat now Buzz.
stephanie (cincy)
Football all day tomorrow!! Couch city for Steph
Tom (River North)
I think your exact words were "Michigan isn't going 4-0. They're turrible."
Don (San Francisco)
It sounds pretty damn good Buzz. Good luck not getting lost at Home Depot this weekend!
Buzzmaster (11:01 AM)
All right everyone. Thanks for stopping by. We couldn't have done it all without you. Enjoy the weekend of football. We'll be back again on Monday. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Alright Buzz, have a good weekend and remember that if you try your best and fail, youre still a failure.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Have a good weekend! Go pull a Nate and Brian.
Cows (Everywhere)
Eat more chicken
Matt (IN)
One of my former teachers son is the starting TE for IU. Max Dedmond. Great guy. But Tom, I think the outlook is bleak for the red and white.
Nate (Madison)
IT looked gross...not I looked gross.....man, that was close.
Matt (IN)
Have a good one everybody!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
For the record, I don't really expect my Hoosiers to beat U of M tomorrow, but a man can dream.
Vicki (Indiana)
I'm curious if soy milk is any good
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Vicki: No, it's not.
chaz (sa tx)
viki NO
