Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

Gooooooood morning!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I'm really dragging today...do you think anyone will notice if I take a nap under my desk?

Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

Never.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Welcome to Casual Friday in the Morning Buzz. Let's get chatting!

Marc (Charlotte)

It is Friday and Buzz is late.

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

Nope.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

Good morning Buzz. Missed The Office last night, how was it?

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

Me too. My stupid DirecTV box keeps not getting the local channels properly. CBS and ABC go to infomercials and NBC changes to MSNBC. Really getting ticked off. So, now I have to watch The Office online later today.

Obama (Chicago)

I submit Chicago as offical host of the ONB

Overly Excited Patriotic Guy (U.S.A! U.S.A.!)

The Olympic anticipation is killing me!!! Chicago had better get the games! Its the only city in AMERICA! USA! USA! USA!

Christian (High Point, NC)

Fact: I have 2 Backstreet Boys songs in my collection. "Larger than Life" and that Christmas song they did with Michael Bolton that's on the first volume of "Now That's What I Call Christmas"

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Starting today's MB with some Nirvana Unplugged.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! Let's get this Friday rolling.

tom* (parkville, md)

Happy Friday, Buzzchatters!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Happy birthday to my Dad, who is 54 today.

Tom (West Loop)

So it's official: Michigan-Michigan State is not on in Chicago for Comcast Subscribers. Thanks to the Big Ten Network and Michigan State for sucking.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I have a Weird Al parody of the Backstreet Boys in my collection.

Tom (West Loop)

I am hoping that Chicago wins the Olympic games, and that I don't live here when they start raising taxes to pay for it.

Jack (NB Canada)

Habs win in overtime over hated Leafs

Bob (Lowell)

Good morning everyone. Welcome to Friday's edition of The Drunken Adventures of Nate and Brian.

JB (TX)

So yeah, Dave Letterman, that'll happen.

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Someone on the news this morning was saying that it wasn't that big of a deal because he wasn't married when he slept with his co-workers. No, he wasn't married, but he was with the mother of his child. No biggie there.

Neal (Philly)

Buzz, did you get rid of yesterday's chat link so I can't read about your love of the Backstreet Boys?

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

It's there. Try the archive page - http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/archive.

David (Ottawa)

So the boss just asked if I was working on anything, I didn`t respond fast enough and she threw a file on my desk. Meh, still better then watching leaf highlights

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Hello, sorry I'm late, but it's good to be here.

Matt (IN)

Good morning everyone. Chris Carpenter, 5 shutout innings, 2 hits and 6 rbi. Not a bad day's work.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

As much I would love to see the Olympics in Chicago (only one hour time difference, so no tape delayed stuff), I think Rio might have the inside track. The Olympics have never been in South America, and Rio is only one hour ahead of Eastern time, so that wouldn't be a big problem, either.

Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles)

What's wrong with a little infidelity?

Chad (Las Vegas)

Jets/Saints this weekend! Drew Brees will light up that Jets secondary.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Had a storm last night, so my SAT kept coming and going, did catch pieces of The Office though.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

My uncle has a saying that's perfect for Letterman. You shouldn't fish from the company pier.

tom* (parkville, md)

It's amazing how much trouble one avoids by keeping their pants on.

Nate (Madison)

I think if Atlanta could pull it off, Chicago can.....no matter how much it hurts to give Chicago props.

Christian (High Point, NC)

He's a celebrity. If the support of Roman Polanski has shown us anything, it's that the normal rules don't apply to celebrities.

JB (TX)

Good thing for Chicagoans, if you get the Olympics you can leave town for those 2 weeks and rent your place out for ridiculous amounts, happened in ATL in '96, people were making like 10 grand a week.

Nate (Madison)

Laughter is the best cure, so I'm not hating on Letterman. He came clean, didn't give in to the blackmail and I'm assuming he already had came clean with his wife or girlfriend or whatever. None of our business.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

The guy on the Today show this moring said he is leaning toward Chicago at this point.

Dave (vt)

Vermont Alum Viktor Stalberg looked great last night for the Leafs, Timmy Thomas however didnt look so great.

Steve (NJ)

The allegations of mistreatment of Ted Williams' head are, if true, really, really sickening. I think we should send Stephanie and her knife to Arizona.

Tom (West Loop)

Rio's biggest issue is the amount of crime and lack of infrastructure. Plus, they are hosting the World Cup in 2014.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

There's a reason South America has never had an Olympics though. It's too unstable. Plus, with the World Cup just a few years before, Brazil would have an awful lot on their plate.

David (Ottawa)

Tim Thomas has never looked good. Ever. In any sport. In fact, if you`re an athelete named Tim Thomas, just give up and go into teaching.

Tom (West Loop)

I think it's down to Chicago and Rio. Europe has the Olympics in 2012 and Beijing just had theirs last year which hurts Tokyo.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I'd also like to see Chicago get it for totally selfish reasons: Close enough to actually go and see some events.

Tom (pa)

does anyone else think the Jay Leno show stinks. Just a condensed version of his old tonight show.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

I think you might be in the majority there. You and the 10 million people that dropped off from the first to second episode.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Did anyone here still like Leno when it was on at 11?

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Good point Grason.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Plus, Spain just had an Olympics in 1992.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

And the U.S. had the Olympics in 1996.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

The Olympics are sooooo overrated.

Nate (Madison)

Remember the issues with Athens having the money and being ready, and they were in a lot better shape then where Rio is right now. Granted I would like to see S.A. and Africa host at one point but I don't think now is the time. Plus I would like to try to attend some events if I'm still living in the area.

Gary (Memphis)

Steve..another day off from work? Must be nice.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I thought Letterman did his confession with style and I'm not a Letterman fan.

Nate (Madison)

Missed The Office last night, was playing poker. But it's On-Demand so I'll catch up tonight.

Cory (PA)

By exposing the blackmail attempt Letterman made himself into the victim. And in so doing, prevented anyone from being angry at him. Except, you know, his baby momma.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I support Rio: live events in primetime, won't bankrupt anyone in the US. Win-win.

Neal (Philly)

I need to put alcohol in my eyes after reading all of Buzz's Backstreet Boy quotes.

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Just have Brian and/or Nate breath on you.

Dave (vt)

Conan > Letterman > leno >>>>>>>>>>>>> Fallon

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I really wouldn't be surprised if Leno was tanking his new show in order to get out of his contract with NBC.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Neal: You just made Brian and Nate cry with your blatant waste of alcohol.

Scott (Brewtown)

Yeah but Spain is the size of say Texas. All 50 states should get an olympics before Spain gets them again.

Nate (Madison)

The U.S. is looked at to help with everything across the globe, I think we deserve a special treatment when it comes to things like this. So yes, I think every 20 years the U.S. should have it.

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

I was reading something the other day who said that if for some reason the U.S. decided to just not have an Olympic Committee any more or even decided to lessen the funding to its programs that pretty much the entire Olympics worldwide would cease to exist.

Brian (Madison, WI)

So with everyone missing The Office last night I shouldn't give any spoilers?

David (Ottawa)

If the Olympics goes back to Athens, the IOC should put back all those ancient events, including pigeon shooting

Cory (PA)

Never liked Leno. I've never had a problem with Craig Ferguson though. Although that could be from being a little sleep deprived when I catch it.

Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)

Having the Olympics in the US could lead to a flu epidemic

Chubbs (Ga)

We should have every 5th olympics Nate? are you serious?

Chad (Las Vegas)

Toyko gets the Olympics.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I pulled a Nate/Brian last night and am paying for it dearly right now.

Justin (Chicago)

Best Sunny of the season yet. And showing "The gang solves the gas crisis" afterwards was incredible. WILDCARD!!!

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

The Montana Summer Olympics would be Awesome

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

The Office wasn't a great episode anyway. It was a set-up episode....let Buzz and the other slackers watch it before spoiling.

Marc (Big D)

Not sure of the reasoning, but Darren Rovell tweeted that TV rights would be worth 250 mil more if the games are in Chicago. Definitely a big plus for USA.

Tom (West Loop)

The US isn't even as big as Canada. Should each of the provinces have an Olympics before the US does? And Russia is bigger too.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

So we got all of these new channels with the great offer from DirecTV and I was going to watch some baseball out of our viewing area. We get all of the pregame show and then right before first pitch, the station cuts out. Apparently if you don't buy the Extra Innings package, you don't get the actual games with the newly offered package.

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

Sucker.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Tomorrow morning in Minneapolis: $25 all I can drink beer and all I can eat brats, chips, and cheese. Might have to throw $5 out there at the beginning and start with a bloody mary. I could still be drunk from tonight's escapades.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I brought a sausage biscuit to the guy that I wanted to stab yesterday, so maybe he'll leave me alone.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Always Sunny is growing on me all the time...both great episodes last night. That Community show after the Office is solid too....Chevy Chase is a riot.

Nate (Madison)

I'm flying to Denmark right now, late push for Deadwood, South Dakota to host.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I saw 'The Office,' last night but won't spoil it for those preparing to watch it later.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

NO SPOILERS please.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

US/NA is in line to get another. Only 12 years between LA and Atlanta, and it was in Montreal just 8 years before LA.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

Russia and Canada should only get Winter Olympics.

Cory (PA)

The pacific ocean is even bigger, so Aquaman should host them.

stephanie (cincy)

Buying a guy a sandwich for the guy could make him think you "like" him

Clay (Charlotte)

Good morning ladies, gentlemen and Buzz...TGIF.

Chad (Las Vegas)

The 2040 Olympics should be in Antartica.

Scott (Brewtown)

I live the office every day....no need to watch my day over again on tv.

Nate (Madison)

Here's a question, what city in the U.S. will make a push for the games next? (Winter or Summer). I actually heard Tulsa was talking about trying to get in the running at one point, I mean reallY?

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

A lot of cities make a push for it, but then they get narrowed down to one U.S. finalist.

Cory (PA)

I vote that the 2020 games be held on the moon. Make it happen international space agencies!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

But Buzz, the new channels and NFL Ticket added to my package are costing me LESS than my old package. Anything I get to watch is pure gravy.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, this is day 2 of the chat refreshing my entire page when I submit something.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I have to play 5 softball games in a tournament tomorrow. We have an industrial size cooler. It's going to be a looong day.

Neal (Philly)

It was 65 here yesterday and I saw a mother who had her kid dressed in snow boots.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Long but fun, right, Josh? That sounds to me like a fun way to spend a Saturday.

Tim (Iowa)

Buying a guy a sandwich may make him think you're desperate.

Steve (NJ)

Nope, I'm at work - I just had to comment on that.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Beer and softball is pretty much fun. Beer and anything is pretty much fun.

Brian (Madison, WI)

So when do they make this Olympic announcement?

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

Oh, and Dayton Ohio has announced they want to host in 2024. Good luck with that.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

It'll be fun as long as I don't care about winning/losing. Because it's going to be a lot of the latter. We have girls who can't throw more than 5 feet.

Matt (WorTown, Mass)

Industrial sized cooler filled with beer correct? or gatorade.

Nate (Madison)

Unless I have some tonight, I probably won't drink this weekend. Stop the presses, I know...crazy.

Christian (High Point, NC)

So when are they announcing?

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

1

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

2020 rumored US bids are Birmingham Alabama, Boston, Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis/St.Paul, and Pittsburgh. In other words, if we don't get Chicago, we aren't getting it in 2020.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz, can I have my own chat at 3pm today to fill that gap? ----->

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

That's a hell no and a hit your refresh.

Chubbs (Ga)

So...... Chicago sux, Boston sucks, Madison sucks, Brewers suck, Yankees Suck. Just thought I could get some conversation started.

Cory (PA)

Perhaps they should make an electrolyte infused malt beverage? Beertorade or PowerBeer.

Nate (Madison)

Or noon for us normal people on Central Standard Time.

Justin (Chicago)

Decision time in t-minus 2 hours, ish

Matt (WorTown, Mass)

they've already got energy drinks "infused" with malt beverage its only a matter of time

Ron (Va)

No arguement from me chubbs, except add the cowboys sux

Nate (Madison)

People named Chubbs in Georgia are lossers.....just thought I had to say it.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Or 10 AM PST for us on the worst coast.

Christian (High Point, NC)

The weird thing is we're actually discussing sports.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Did they have to stop making those energy/malt liquor drinks? Hyper drunks are bad news.

Matt (IN)

Time zone chat. I am on Central time but Clinton is on Eastern. This state is screwed up. I don't care which one they pick, but this state needs to be on the same time.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

PowerBeer is a great name. You should trademark that pronto.

Tom (West Loop)

I think they eliminate a city every hour though, and that gets announced starting soon.

Marc (Big D)

So two players who made the final table of the WSOP main event made the final table of the WSOP Europe main event. I don't know how the MB feels about poker, but that is pretty impressive.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz, did you put someone in at 3pm today just so I couldnt have my own chat?

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

The two are completely unrelated, Grason.

Cory (PA)

Time needs to be abolished. It's geographically biased, moreso than even ESPN!

Jack (Toronto)

If Chicago does get the games, I certainly hope they are better than the Atlanta games, which were pretty universally regarded as the worst games of the past 25 years.

Nate (Madison)

First out, Madrid....my prediction

Marc (Big D)

Buzz have you ever impersonated someone when they have ditched the chat at the last second?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

No, cuz if they're ditching at the last second, I'm usually stinkin' annoyed at them.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Can I have my own chat at 5pm to fill THAT gap? ---->

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

Grason, get away from me.

Cory (PA)

Sadly www.powerbeer.com is taken.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I love playing poker, and I used to watch it on TV, but don't anymore. It was giving me bad ideas.

Clay (Charlotte)

Grason, please stop, you bring nothing to the table.

Tom (West Loop)

Rittenberg said he's at 3:00. Is that right? Or did you list him on Central time?

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

3 is right. Hit refresh.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Wouln't that be like identity theft?

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz can you translate crazy for me? Cory seems to be a little off today.

Tom (West Loop)

Too much work. I'll do it later.

Vicki (Indiana)

ahhh I'm late! did I miss anything?

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

Hahahahaha.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Kickball this weekend, Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:30 AM)

Supposedly yes. However, LadyBuzz will be missing her game and I will be missing the postgame tailgate. Her friend is getting married in Rhode Island, so we're off to there.

Buzzmaster

  (10:30 AM)

Actually, her friend is getting married later today. A Friday wedding? Really?

Clay (Charlotte)

Haven't we had the Friday wedding conversation? I'm getting deja vu.

dennis (boston)

Had 2 of those last week Buzz

Christian (High Point, NC)

Marriage > Kickball? Shenanigans I say!

Brian (Madison, WI)

People who go to Rhode Island are lossers.

Justin (Chicago)

I got pulled into driving the mrs. and her friends to a bar drink deal for a friend's birthday. This will be the worst drive home ever.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Did you request the fish or the steak Buzz? Both?

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

You're taking the place of the Steinmerms gnat.

Cory (PA)

There will be kickball at the reception.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

I am getting married next Friday, it gives the people coming from out of town a chance to enjoy Chicago on Saturday, and it doesn't interfere with an OU game.

Jack (Toronto)

The bluebloods of Newport look down on Buzz, you know, because he's fat.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Didn't we already cover this a little while back? Friday wedding means no wasted time on the weekend.

Chad (Las Vegas)

They probably got a deal on the reception hall having in on a Friday as opposed to a Saturday.

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

Actually, I think it was they HAD to have it at this place, because it is uber fancy and they have to keep up their appearances. And all the Saturdays were taken, so that was their only option.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lots of people I know have been doing the Friday wedding thing lately. Apparently it is a lot cheaper.

Clay (Charlotte)

"You may now kick the bride"...yeah I don't think that works.

Tom (West Loop)

The best situation is Friday wedding, Saturday reception. I went to a wedding that had that, so it was two nights of heavy partying instead of just one.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Uemployment is up to 9.8%....employment rate in the MB, much, much higher.

JB (TX)

Can we ONB it and get away from All-Grason talk?

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

Let's do it....

Tyler (Kentucky)

If any college scouts there is some real talent in Hopkinsville,Kentucky there is a senior that throws 93mph

Dylan Clee (Orlando Florida)

The phillies have a better everything, accept bull pin. Do you think the phillies can go through the yankees to repeat the world series for the first time in the Nl since the seventies.

Rodney (Bogata, Colombia)

Would you thank ESPN for the game cast on their WEB SITE but also ask if they can expand their ESPN360 to the internet company TELMEX here in COLOMBIA. I need my college football. I get to watch Sunday Night and Monday Night Football on the local ESPN but other than that it is all International Futball. Not even close to the same. I am sure you can understand what I am dealing with. Thanks for any help you can offer.

chaz (sa tx)

i am now a PROUD DADDY of an 8lb 10 ounce 20.25 inch little girl. its truelly amazing. in case there was not one yet she is the first morning buzz brat HA.

Campbell (Colorado)

What is all of the buzz about the Cardinals about? They share the same record as the Rockies and have a worst winning percentage than the Phillies and Dodgers. Sure they do have a lot of talent but how will they fair in the playoffs?

Scott (Dundee Illinois)

Why is it in baseball the manager always gets fired and not the general manager? The GM is who gives the manager all the lousy players to begin with

fred (omaha)

buzz break out the rocktoberfest beer and get ready for rocktober rockies are in the playoffs, go rockies

B-ROB (Iowa)

Collin out. Wiley in.

Rodney Ellis (Las Vegas)

SportsNation won a fan tonight. The show was hilarious exciting and still informative. There was great chemistry between Michelle and Marcellus (MandM)

cody james (oklaham)

colt mccoy is going to win heismen this year

Neal (Philly)

Buzz, can you repost the link for yesterday's chat? I haven't been able to find it.

Jayfromtheway (Austin)

What is the song that plays during the "end of the day" segment and why can't I find the answer anywhere on the internet? Am I the only person that enjoys the show that likes swing jazz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

And that's it....

g-dub (ss)

everyone who is working say yeeeaaaahhhhh

Scott (Brewtown)

Well, congrats to chaz!

Justin (Chicago)

We got anywhere from 10% - 15% discounts on most vendors for our Friday

Cory (PA)

Best situation is a shotgun wedding, play-action toss, and an Immaculate Reception.

Justin (Chicago)

Buzz, you are being a huge downer on these peoples' marriage. "congrats on getting married....you suck"

Nate (Madison)

It just means people having to take off for work.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Is the ONB the most overrated part of the MB, or is it Buzz himself?

Brian (Madison, WI)

A.) Chaz is now a dad, scary. 2.) He better be on the look out for Fred from Omaha.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Congrats to chaz! I wonder if they named her ruckus?

spell police (mass.)

buzz you forgot the umlaut on the word uber...above the u

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

So then they won't be serving alcohol at this wedding, Buzz? Because it's really hard to keep up appearances when you're falling down drunk.

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

Oh, I'm sure they will be. It would be unseemly to have no bar or a cash bar. My guess is completely full open bar. I'll report back on Monday.

Chubbs (Ga)

I swear its gettin worse.....

Matt (IN)

Congrats to Chaz. Life as he knows it will never be the same, in a good way of course.

Marc (Big D)

I know we are off of the Olympics now, but it just dawned on me I will be 30 when the games actually happen. Weird.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

How can the ONB be overrated? We all freely admit it sucks.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

And yet it's still overrated. Weird.

Ruckus (via mobile)

Diapers in the trash! Yummy!

Christian (High Point, NC)

"Keep up appearances"? Is it a Newport wedding?

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

No.

JB (TX)

Buzz falling down drunk = unprecedented seismic activity on the east Coast. You know, because he's fat.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Its easy to keep up appearances while drinking. Just make sure everyone else is as drunk as you.

Chubbs (Ga)

hate to sound like IWG but i cant get crap posted today

Jordan (Peoria)

Sometimes I love my job! Last night I "had" to go to BWs for research and development...Today my late morning early afternoon will be spent grilling (and eating) for all the employees

Chad (Las Vegas)

Forget the wedding. Take all that money that it cost and come to Vegas. It's more fun and we could use the money.

Justin (Chicago)

The ONB is like many people in this chat. We love to make fun of it/them, but without it/them, we'd lose the majority of our conversations

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Suck isn't a strong enough word for the ONB. If I use a word that accurately describes it, Buzz will censor me.

Cory (PA)

Chubbs, all you've been posting is crap...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Today is actually my wedding anniversary. We had after dinner liqueurs served in edible chocolate shot glasses at our reception.

Carl (Chicago)

My one post for the day. The most overrated part of the mb is the self absorbed, self depricating, sanctimonious posts of you non sport nerds. hint hint indy boy

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

I love you too Carl.

Jordan (Peoria)

Chubbs....Boom, Roasted by Cory

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

I love you too Carl.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Booooooooooo!!! It's probably crap, which is why it's not posted.

Chubbs (Ga)

Because all my good posts dont get posted... so I spam buzz and he posts the crap

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Chubbs, you tried to stir crap earlier by saying a whole bunch of places/teams suck. That's a pretty good indicator that what you've been posting since is probably pretty crappy, too.

Clay (Charlotte)

For my brother's wedding they had custom MandM's made with their names on them.

Billy Madison ( )

Oh, hey CARL! Good to see you, CARL!

Jack (Toronto)

Hey leave Chubbs alone. It's hard to post gold when your hand has been bitten off by an aligator.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

If I don't have game, I know it, and I don't try to submit a bunch of crap. Like today, for instance. A lot of non-typing for me today.

Rich Rod (Ann Arbor, MI)

You people ripping on the ONB need to get lives.

tom* (parkville, md)

Carl just cost Chicago the Olympics.

Happy Gilmore (via mobile)

Chubbs, it's you! Glad to see you are friends with that alligator now.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Wow, Carl just can't seem to quit me...how cute.

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

Mancrush!

Matt (IN)

Fact: Next week there will be KISS mandm's available.

tom* (parkville, md)

Carl's jealous of you, Clinton, because you have Indy cred.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Those custom MandM are expensive. 5 bucks for a very small gift bag and you have to buy like a minimum of 15 or 20 of them. $18 bucks for the the regular bag.

Chris (A-tex)

Josh, I've already taken a nap at my desk...must say it was delightful

Vicki (Indiana)

I keep getting e-mails for offers for personalized MandM's. they don't seem to know what "unsubscribe" means.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Wow, people are kinda nasty today.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I was in downtown Detroit when the KISS concert was going on at Cobo Hall. I was very disappointed I didn't see a single person walking around wearing the KISS makeup.

Tom (pa)

Last night I had mandm's ice cream bar. Tasty

Chad (Las Vegas)

3 weeks until U2 come to Vegas and I get to see one of the best bands of all time!

Nate (Madison)

Fact: Next week I still won't be buying MandM's. In other news it's Octobor which means that yesterday I bought my first bag of candy corn.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Chocolate ones are the best.

Tom (West Loop)

Buzz, is Scott Burnside going to be chatting in the near future? There's something I need to discuss with him.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Of course. Weekly chat. Monday 4 p.m. ET.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Never been a U2 fan. I've always felt their music is okay, but nothing special.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We gave away pens with Disney characters on them as our wedding favors. You should have seen the look the clerk at the Disney Store gave us when we ordered 250 pens. You'd swear I was Flounder ordering 10,000 marbles.

K Runk (Paterno Ville)

isnt this a sports chat?

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

Maybe.

Christian (High Point, NC)

K Runk: Yes

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I love autumn mix, and caramel apples.

Jack (Toronto)

The first bag of halloween candy showed up in the office yesterday. Mmm...mini Kit Kats. Needless to say, they didn't last long.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Candy corn rivals Dots as the grossest Halloween candy. Oh wait, I forgot good and plenty, those trump everything else.

Chad (Las Vegas)

No it's a bathroom chat. All about bathrooms in the L'ville area.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

This chat is all about sports. The sport we call life.

Scott (Brewtown)

2 months until I have to go see a washed up old has been, that I saw 25 years ago, becuase of my wife. Bruce Springsteen for those that care.

Nate (Madison)

Same here, I don't listen to U2 but I don't rip people for liking them. Just not my thing.

Chubbs (Ga)

Well, I am off to my aunts funeral..... thanks for being so nice to me today people.... have a good weekend!

Christian (High Point, NC)

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce. He's ok, I just like saying Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

Time for lunch. Have a great weekend SN, go Chicago.

Chris (A-tex)

cannot wait for the Maze and Blue to crush ole sparty this weekend :)

Christian (High Point, NC)

I'm going to see Styx and REO Speedwagon with Night Ranger next month. \m/

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Snickers bars were always Halloween trick-or-treat gold in my house.

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

BrotherBuzz used to steal all of mine. I told MommaBuzz on him once and she made him give them all back.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

And Chubbs with a guilt-trip on his way out the door! Stay classy, Chubbs!

Christian (High Point, NC)

I think Chubbs and Zach Rastall may have been separated at birth, one sent north and one sent south.

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

Kinda like an annoying version of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.

Tom (West Loop)

Reese's PB cups are always a great choice for Halloween. Unfortunately, my poor nephew is allergic to peanuts and will never get to experience them.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

All the haunted houses open this weekend. I'm gonna get the bejesus scared out of me.

Scott (Brewtown)

The Grossest candy has to be those orange colored processed peanut things

Cory (PA)

So does that make Grason the droids?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Maybe they were two in a set of triplets: Rastall, Chubbs, and Grason.

Buzzmaster

  (10:51 AM)

Quadruplets. Add Steinmerms.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

The last two years I've gotten Halloween candy and had like 2 kids show up to my house. Since it's on a Friday this year, no candy.

Buzzmaster

  (10:51 AM)

Saturday.

stephanie (cincy)

Has any kid EVER gotten an apple with a razor blade in it? They would scare us ever year with that warning.

Nate (Madison)

Brian says he can't go to haunted houses because his reaction when he gets scared is to punch things or something like that. I call shenanigans and just think he's too scared to go with everyone else. Thoughts?

Justin (Chicago)

Buzz, does that make you Obi-Wan? or Pizza the hut?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

And that makes Buzz Jabba. You know, cause he's fat. (Had to be said, Buzz).

Ben (Madison, WI)

Lunch: Ham sandwich. I'm living the dream.

Tom (West Loop)

I think Grason is more Jar Jar Binks than C3PO

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Scott: You refer to the Circus Peanut. I also find them appalling yet my eight-year old thinks they are delicious.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I never got an apple with a razor blade in it, stephanie. Hell, never ever got an apple.

Nate (Madison)

I have my costume picked out this year: Max from Where The Wild Things Are.

Bob (Lowell)

Two minutes in and we still don't know what Robbi is having with her unsweet tea.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Lunch: Four cheese cannelloni. unsweet tea.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

On our block now is an attorney who gives out full-sized candy bars. My kids make it a point to hit his house.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate should know first hand. He always thought it was funny to jump out from behind things and scare the pulse out of me. My natural reaction is to punch. I don't know why, but it doesn't work too well when you jack teenagers in haunted houses.

JB (TX)

Lunch: maybe Panda Express. Anyway, big weekend for JB, taking new hot girl to a bday party that my ex-GF is gonna be at, hoping to impress them/make them jealous at the same time. Also: Best Halloween candy - Reeses PB cups. Worst - Bit-O-Honey.

Buzzmaster

  (10:54 AM)

Women like when you do that.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Lunch....Subway's new buffalo chicken perhaps. Anyone tried it yet?

Nate (Madison)

Halloween is a Saturday. Xmas Eve is a Thursday and Xmas Day is a Friday, with New Years Eve on a Thursday night as well. Two four day weekends, SWEEEEEET.

Christian (High Point, NC)

All I ever got were a bunch of rocks.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Lunch: A cup of soup and yet another grilled chicken wrap doused in Frank's. What can I say? It's the best option at the diner where we eat.

dennis (boston)

Worst candy ever-----good n plenty

Vicki (Indiana)

lunch: I'm feeling like Subway today. I know dinner is my mom inviting me over for whatever she makes and cake for me.

Clay (Charlotte)

It's not like you do work on 5 day work weeks anyway.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Subway's buffalo chicken is delicious.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Lunch: BBQ Pork, tater salad, sweet corn

Christian (High Point, NC)

Wait, what's the problem with hitting teenagers? I'm all for that!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Thanks, Nate. And that is awesome. Add in Thanksgiving and that's 3 four day weekends.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Wow, what a *terrific* idea, JB.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Best halloween candy: Snickers, Twix, Kit Kats, and Nerds (the little boxes that are a perfect mouthful)

Jack (Toronto)

Lunch: greek. Mmmm...gyro

Chad (Las Vegas)

Lunch = Sushi. Probably Sushi Ra, but maybe Sushi Samba

Tom (West Loop)

Lunch: TBD. I'm moving up to Wrigleyville today, MBA Cup and Michigan-Michigan State tomorrow (I will find the game somehow).

tom* (parkville, md)

How come Vicki gets cake and we don't?

Justin (Chicago)

Me and the girl went as never nudes last year. Only about half the people got it.

Brian (Madison, WI)

The only teenagers I like hitting are named Zach Rastall.

Matt (IN)

Lunch: I have no idea. Thinking of talking my way into a half day.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Got to go fill up the car, and the gas station has a McDonald's in it, so that's what I'll have.

Scott (Brewtown)

I always liked the houses where a 114 year old would answer the door, smelling of mothballs, and would throw two pennies into you bag. Nice!

h (ut)

Buzz, gettin dunk tonight?

Buzzmaster

  (10:57 AM)

Only if LadyBuzz is driving. Or someone else that we know at the wedding.

Ben (Madison, WI)

Not to sound like RichRod, but people who complain about candy need to get lives. It's all good. Burn in Hell, Rastall.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Lunch at TGIF's, Steak and Potatoes my man

Christian (High Point, NC)

Vicki is getting cake but she doesn't get to eat it too

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Lunch: Healthy. Halloween: Hope my son gets those popcorm balls. Love those things.

Vicki (Indiana)

because i turned another year older today.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'm going to dress like Brian for Halloween. I'll wear a Cubs hat, Brewers jersey, and will pretend to pass out on people's lawns while throwing down some rubber vomit for authenticity.

Chris (A-tex)

Lunch: half day at work then off to sports bar to watch the redwings opener in sweden!

Nate (Madison)

100 Grand are VERY underrated.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Not sure about my costume yet. My toddler is going to be a ring-tailed lemur, so I may go with a zookeeper getup.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

We egged those houses.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Can we keep the MB going til 11? I really don't want to work today.

Jordan (Peoria)

Can't wait to take my daughter trick or treating this year...She is old enough to go but not old enough to really eat the candy...More for dad!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Great Friday chat, all. Really needed it after a hectic week. Enjoy the weekend and see you back here on Monday. Peace.

tom* (parkville, md)

Happy Birthday, Vicki!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Well, happy birthday, Vicki!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Happy b-day Vicki.

Nate (Madison)

J.B.....that costume would actually go well with our circle of friends because everyone would get it. Good idea

Chad (Las Vegas)

Rember Vicki you're only a day older today. It just so happens to be the day we recognize as adding a year to your age.

Chris (Great Falls)

This chat is a waste from what I see!

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

Yes it is! Welcome to the party.

Jack (Toronto)

Josh, you're in luck. Just for you we're going to go until 11 today.

Tom (West Loop)

Happy Birthday Vicki! Enjoy the football game!

Vicki (Indiana)

thanks guys :)

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

And we're done for today. Thanks for stopping by everyone. We'll be back on Monday. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

Tom (West Loop)

Chris, you stole 3 seconds of my life and I want them back.

Vicki (Indiana)

oh I will Tom. can't wait!

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: Think I'll go with 6in from Subway today, thinking Spicy Italian. Everyone have a fun and safe weekend, I'm hoping I lock down this job on Sunday. Brian, try not to embarass WI too much...which means hold your booze.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I shudder to think of what a Jonathan (Madison) costume would look like.

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

First Take is on for an extra 30 min why not us?

Cory (PA)

Have a good day Morning Buzzers! And remember, it's better try and fail than to get trampled by a herd of wildebeasts!

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Bolt will be 7 years older and still the fastest man alive in 2016. Can't wait.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Have a great weekend y'all!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Have an excellent weekend Bye y'all.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

Happy Birthday, Vicki....but you still can't use emoticons in the chat. I'll only issue a warning this time.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Actually, this chat is a "waist." You know, cause Buzz is fat.

tom* (parkville, md)

Have a great weekend, everyone. Enjoy your cake, Vicki. Go Spartans!!!
