Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Gooooood morning!
A Rod (via mobile)
What up yo, Mr Clutch is here. Now the chat can start.
Steve (NJ)
What a great weekend for sports! Yankees sweep! Dodgers sweep! Angels sweep/Boston tanks! Giants destroy a D-III team masquerading as the Raiders! Did I mention the Yankees sweep yet? Tonight - the Jets take on the Chad Henne-flavored Dolphins, who are not tuna safe.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Good morning Buzz. Or is it LadyBuzz?
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Sir Buzz ESQ, DMD.
Bob (Lowell)
Good morning....oh wait it's Mondat, I take that back.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Yeah, Mondat is always terrible. Almost as bad as Huesday and Wednnnnnnnnnesday.
Steve (NJ)
I should also mention the Rangers are kicking bum; it's all about to come crashing down when the toothless Knicks take the court and jinx the whole darn thing.
Nate (Madison)
So is this the real Buzz? If so, what's your view on Andruw Jones?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Probably has a far-outside shot at the Hall of Fame, likely shouldn't make it, his career is over although the man was a stud for several years.
Scott (Brewtown)
Good Morning! Happy Santa Maria day!...I mean Happy Nina day!....ummm Happy Pinta Day?......I'm lost. Oh Yeah, Happy Columbus Day!
Godish (Chicago)
Bears dominated the Bye week!
Bob (Lowell)
Is anybody home?
Matt (IN)
Good morning all. Great weekend. I wonder if Papelbon has coughed up whatever he choked on yet.
Steve (NJ)
I saw the weakest Columbus Day parade yesterday - a bunch of cars with Italian-American magnets on the hoods and a float in the bed of a Silverado. Not even a majorette.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Who decided business days should start at 8am? I hate them.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, is there no chat today?
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
Gremlins in the system. Looks like someone fed them after midnight.
tomwit nj [via mobile]
Buzz a lawyer and dentist are similair. They both take your money and drill you.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Slowly but surely, the Ohio State University Buckeyes are crawling back up the polls ...
Matt (IN)
Buzz would never answer that kindly about Andruw Jones. Fail.
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
Let's see...his personal failings are widely-known and yet nearly unspeakable. He could never hit a curveball. His OBP was subpar. His name was non-standardly spelled, leading most people to pronounce it "Ahndrew" when I'm pretty sure it was just the regular "Andrew" pronunciation. I hear tell he is also an anarcho-primitivist.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Better call up Rambo-Gizmo from Gremlins 2.
Nate (Madison)
Saw the movie Paranormal Activity....freaked the hell out of me.
Cory (PA)
Yes they are Christian...just like a slime mold.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Be careful not to chock on a hoot dog on Mondat.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Happy Thanksgiving Day, Canada!
Scott (Brewtown)
I heard the Packers are going to re-locate to the Phillipines. They're going to call themselves the Manilla Folders
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
That's your bog-standard Cubs joke.
Steve (NJ)
Wait, Buzz is a lawyer/dentist? That's a lot of schooling to be making $20K.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I may have to see Paranormal Activity now, I've been waiting for a good horror movie for the longest time.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Saw Zombieland on Friday. Pretty good, definitely worth some laughs.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Definitely on my top films of the year list.
Christopher Columbus (Genoa, Italy)
I can't believe I opened up the American continents for European conquest for this.
tom* (parkville, md)
G'morning Buzzchatters! Lots of bad football yesterday.
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
What, you didn't like the Bills-Browns donnybrook?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Hello, I just now found everyone!
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I haven't been to a movie since Indiana Jones 4. 300 was before that.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Good morning everyone. How about them Angels?!? How about them Bungals? Not bungling anymore! Sorry, coffee kicked in.
Man in Dog Hat (Behind Home Plate)
COME ON!!! THAT BALL WAS RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!!!
Kanye West (via mobile)
Buzz I'm happy for ya and Ima let you finish, but Fake Buzz had the greatest chat of all-time on Friday!
chris (denver)
jay great sports weekend...browns win (barely, but we will take a w any way we can get it) buckeyes win...rare great sports weekend...don't no when this will happen again so cherish it
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
I really wanna see Paranormal Activity...my town doesn't have it yet.
TO (Buffalo)
I like me some 6-3 football! Get your popcorn ready!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So instead of Cincinnati-Baltimore, the local affiliate chose to show us Pittsburgh-Detroit, and at the point, I actually switched over to the President's Cup.
tom* (parkville, md)
Fake Kanye likes Fake Buzz.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Starting my chat (albeit a bit late) with a bit of The Doobie Brothers today.
JB (TX)
Yup, this is a fake Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Who are you to say that any of us are real, JB? Perhaps you're just a dream within a dream within a dream that Tony Romo is having.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Anyone see the guy int he beige coat behind the first base dugout look like he was dead or sleeping in the first innings? HIs head was down with eyes closed. I was thinking soemone whould check on him. Then in the 7th and 8th he was alive and cheering.
Scott (Brewtown)
China Grove?
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
I missed Ochocinco's TD dance, did he do the Shake-n-Bake?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Pittsburgh Detroit was a LOT more entertaining than I feared it would be, Clinton. Especially with Stafford out and Calvin out early.
Bob (Lowell)
Little chilli here this morning.
Matt (IN)
Yeah, got stuck with Pitt-Det and Minn-StL. And before someone says to get the Sunday Ticket, it doesn't work at my house.
Pete (NC)
It has been 315 days since the Panthers and Tar Heels both won the same weekend. Needless to say, it doesn't matter that the competition was subpar, I needed to see W's.
Scott (Brewtown)
Buzz, trying to pull a matrix over our eyes.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I don't know if stephanie is here or not, but I have her nightmare wedding. A barely-acquaintance invited me to a wedding that is BYOB.
Brian (Madison, WI)
So I got to play in a golf outing yesterday. After the frost delay we teed of when it was 35 degrees. Be jealous.
Michael McDonald (via mobile)
Michael McDonald is the greatest Doobie Brothers lead singer of all-time
Cory (PA)
If you're the real JB...how awesome is Michael Jordan?
Steve (NJ)
'Donnybrook?' You, sirrah, are not Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
Hey, I have one of those "word of the day" calendars. Who is to say that a Buzz cannot learn and grow as a person? Certainly not you, Steve.
Godish (Chicago)
How do you call a fair ball foul when it happened 5 ft away from you? I hope that umpire gets fired.
Bob (Lowell)
Black water?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Being a Steelers fan, I was forced to watch the Lions game. It could have been worse, I could have had to watch the Rams. Gosh they are awful.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Wow, this Fake Buzz is articulate.
Greg (Ellicott City)
This may actually be the real Buzz. Hes not posting me.
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
I don't believe that "Ellicott City" is a real place. You might as well have posted from Fauxtown, Fakelahoma.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Thank you Sunday Ticket!
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Get your dictionary out, big words coming soon.
Cory (PA)
Buzz grows as a person...in circumference. Because, you know, he's fat.
stephanie (cincy)
What a Fool Believes?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Listen to the Music.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I have a Hangman calendar. It's kinda fun for 30 seconds.
Steve (NJ)
A friend's kid brother turned 21 this weekend; it's actually really difficult to get a 6'6", 340 lbs. man drunk. On the other hand, it's highly entertaining to try.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Maybe Buzz is right, what if this is all a dream in a kid's head, a la St. Elsewhere?
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Maybe you could reference another old show. I hear "I Love Lucy" had some great dream episodes.
Robot (Future)
I had the craziest dream about these electric sheep...
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I don't want to meet the kid who would dream of all of us. That kid would be scarier than Damien and Macauley Culkin from The Good Son combined.
Ryan (San Diego)
You missed Ochocinco's dance because he didn't score a touchdown
Brian (Madison, WI)
As soon as that ump some how missed that fair ball call I told my co-worker that not only would the Twins not score, but the Yankees would win in the bottom half of the inning. If I was a Twins fan I would have been livid.
Marc (Charlotte)
After the last 2 days, I've come to realize that as much as Buzz is fat, he is an integral part to the enjoyment of this chat.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Aaaw man, I don't get to talk to Backstreet Boys for my birthday. Swine flu strikes again. Bad lil piggies.
Cory (PA)
Could be worse. Could be the Bill Mumy episode from the Twilight Zone.
Clay (Charlotte)
Macauley Culking and Seth Green in Party Monster are really scary, i don't think they were supposed to be.
Ryan (San Diego)
I think Brady just missed another wide open receiver for a td
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Went to my granddaughter's b-day party Sat. Played in the inflatables. Good fun.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Why are we no longer allowed to enjoy bouncy castles after a certain age? They're right up there with Laser Tag and snow days.
Nate (Madison)
So a high of 43 today, with a snow/rain mix this morning and scattered showers this afternoon....and we are "suppose" to play a softball game tonight. Jusssssssst great.
tom* (parkville, md)
Another Park Another Sunday?
Steve (NJ)
I'm going to go groundbreaking here: a midnight movie on the 'Syfy' channel starring Stephen Baldwin as a demolitions expert tasked with saving the moon...was terribly written.
tom* (parkville, md)
I can confirm that Ellicott City is a real place. It's one of the nicer suburbs of Baltimore.
Pete (NC)
Anyone remember that old Comedy Central show "Dream On"? I remember liking that show.
Scott (Brewtown)
Headed up north on Saturday to close the trailer. Snowed for the first hour and a half I was up there. Then it got windy. Mother nature was not kind to me this weekend.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Most important lesson from this weekend: While some of the AFL throwbacks are fantastic (Patriots, Chargers, Titans as Oilers,), the Broncos need to do humanity a favor and never wear those uni's again.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Mud n' mustard is never a good combo. Ask the Padres.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Thank you tom*. Now can you confirm that it is possible for more than 1 person to live there?
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
How about the show, Herman's Head? Anyone remember that one?
Brian (Madison, WI)
Can someone send the whaaambulance Nate's direction?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Has anyone had any snow?
Pete (NC)
While it was great to see the US beat the Int'ls in the President Cup, it just didn't have the same feel as the Ryder Cup. I mean Freddy really had no idea what was going on the whole weekend.
Clay (Charlotte)
I'm not any good at geography...I cannot confirm or deny if BFE is a real place.
Cory (PA)
Don't know what you mean Clinton, I'm wearring the identical socks to work today.
Drew (Buffalo)
First chat in 3 weeks for me.... espn.com doesn't run properly at work anymore.... pulse
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
We went from having 70 degrees and sun last Saturday to snow this Saturday. Not impressed.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
I call shenanigans. Nebraska does not have 70 degree days, as it is too far away from the Sun.
Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)
Dream on, Dream on, Dream on.......
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
No, you're "supposed" to play.
Marc (Charlotte)
Steve, how can you hate any B movie on a Syfy weekend? Although I'm not a disaster movie guy, I prefer the horrible Snake or Gator/Croc movies.
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Tremors for the win.
David (Boston)
I went on a job interview wearing mud and mustard..it didn't work out
Jeremy (Boston)
Yeah, but some Broncos fan will buy that Jersey. What it is all about.
Marc (Charlotte)
Freddy is too laid back to be bothered by worrying. He knew what was happening though.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Visit in July, you'll get 30 degrees more than 70.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm pretty sure Dream On was an HBO series. And Herman's Head was great. Almost as good as Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Friday night, went to a high school football game. Cold, raining all out ugly. My umbrella turned inside out and gashed my hand.
Nate (Madison)
Bronco's uniforms made them look like the Swedish Guard's "challenged" step brothers.
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
You mean the Swiss Guards? The guys who guard the pope? Pretty sure they run yellow, blue, and red.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Cheesy horror flick of all time - - Saturday the 14th. I think it was a spoof though.
Bill (Pa)
how about that hit from Ray Lewis ( bush)
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
"When Umbrellas Attack" coming to FOX!
ethan (charlotte)
whos the best in the nfl
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
YOU'RE the best, Ethan.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Since we're all old school in here today . . . Robbi got injured by her umbrella, ella, ella, eh eh eh.
Nate (Madison)
That is what I meant. It's Monday morning, cut me some slack.
Matt (IN)
Speaking of low grade football, I have a buddy who plays semi-pro and they came from 2 scores down to win their league championship Saturday. Finished undefeated.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Those Bronco pants were visually jarring....painful to watch.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I was partial to Monster Squad as a kid. That movie was fantastic.
Cory (PA)
Best intentionally cheesy horror flick: The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera!
chris (denver)
all these throwback uniforms need to go back in the archives and stay there...those denver uni's look'd like hot garbage...looked like a chocolate-banana bomb pop...only thing harder to watch is the ultra lime green in seattle
tom* (parkville, md)
I liked Herman's Head.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
It's pretty dreary and overcast here, oh wait that's the Seminoles football season.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
The uni's WERE horrible, but they beat the Patriots. YAY.
Marc (Charlotte)
Little Monsters, end of story.
Drew (Buffalo)
Buzz > Lady Buzz > Today's Buzz
Steve (NJ)
I loved Herman's Head. Also, Flying Blind (Tea Leoni's introduction to the public.) But nothing tops the Chris Eliot Show.
Ryan (San Diego)
They must have signed a deal with the devil in exchange for wearing those uni's they would be given a win against the Pats. Another fluke
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That's another why I like being a Detroit sports fan. Unless the Pistons bring back the teal, not a bad throwback uniform in the bunch.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Wow, I haven't seen Little Monsters in probably 15 years.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Anyone ever watch Ed Wood? BAD movie about a BAD movie director making BAD movies, only upside....Johnny Depp playing as Ed Wood.
Matt (IN)
I'm a Colts fan so it's always nice to see the division rivals lose, but man the Jags have to be embarrassed over that performance yesterday. That was godawful.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I have never heard of these shows. It bothers me.
Jeremy (Boston)
Fluke? I thought so too....but, isn't that how Bellichek won his first 2 superbowls?
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
You live in Boston and you can't spell "Belichick"? What is your opinion of Taed Wulleeums?
tom* (parkville, md)
I also liked Ed Wood. I'm beginning to think I'm on a dating sight (I like puppies and walks in the park...).
Cory (PA)
That's because you live in Nebraska Josh. It's a cultural quarantine.
Clay (Charlotte)
I love being 25, I'm getting premature grey but hanging onto my youthful acne
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I am 5-0 in fantasy. That totally rivals the Broncos starting 5-0 in terms of surprise.
Drew (Buffalo)
At least only 1 team was embarrassed in the Colts-Jags game... try watching the Bills- Browns.
Josh McDaniels (via mobile)
Bill didn't just lose me as an assistant, I also took all the good film guys too.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
I hope the Bucs never, ever use their throwback uniforms, isn't orange a color used for caution?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I've seen Tremors enough times to play a part.
Jonathon Papelbon (Boston)
I can't believe the Red Sox didn't score more runs yesterday.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
I can't believe you stopped throwing anything but your fastball.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Hilarious. Really.
stephanie (cincy)
Tom, are you as comfortable in a Tuxedo as you are in jeans?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I can't believe the Cardinals got swept by the Dodgers either.
Fabio (In front of a fan)
I can't believe it's not butter.
Matt (IN)
Dave I thought the Bucs were in fact going to be breaking out the creamcicle unis this year. Anyone?
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Papelbon through a bon bon to Guerrero. Or a meatball, I think it was a meatball.
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
He threw a first-pitch fastball to a guy who, if I recall correctly, is going to the Hall of Fame in large part due to his ability to hit said fastballs very far.
Vlad (Anahiem)
I can't beleive Terry Francona walked Torii Hunter to get to me.
Clay (Charlotte)
steph, yes, because a Tux is all about confidence.
Steve (NJ)
Marc, I realize how low the SyFy movie bar is set; I'm just flummoxed that someone pitched 'it's like Armageddon, only instead of an asteroid, it's the moon! and instead of Bruce Willis its...um....Stephen Baldwin!' And then, someone immediately dashed off a rather large check. I really need to move to Hollywood.
Jeremy (Boston)
I hate the patriots Buzz. Would you rather me spell it Beli-cheater...
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
Naw, that's OK. I'm glad you didn't resort to that. You have to wonder if people who pull that move sit back afterwards and think "Man, I am so clever!"
Steve (NJ)
I LIKED Saturday the 14th. Saturday the 14th Strikes Back, on the other hand, was awful.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Went to Georgia over the summer and they have placed called Jump Jax. I couldn't resist and had to play in all the bouncies with my son.
Cory (PA)
Right...who would ever expect him to do that?! It's strategy!
David (Boston)
In the span of 8 hours yesterday I went from vehemently rooting against the Angels to now hoping they win every game. They are a heck of a team and deserved to win that series
Spelling Police (On Patrol)
Pull it over, Dave. It's threw. Here's your ticket.
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Shouldn't you guys be escorting the Whaaaaambulance?
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
The Bucs must be wearing their throwback undies this season.
Marc (Charlotte)
Easy Josh, you sort of set yourself up for that one.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I think the throwbacks are just for the old AFL teams, Matt, in honor of the 50th year.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
It's actually more amazing Armageddon got green-lighted.
tom* (parkville, md)
I look really funny in a tux, Steph(anie). Come to think of it, I look really funny no matter what I'm wearing.
Clay (Charlotte)
David, they are going to kick your butt out of Boston for that.
Nate (Madison)
The movie 2012 kind of confuses me. So the world comes to an end, only some people survive....then what? What's the premise or plot? Reminds me of Day After Tomorrow, just a two hour SFX show.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
From what I recall, the only reason the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 is that they were wiped out before they could make a new one.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I think you hit it on the head, Nate, but you know what? I'll probably still end up going to see it anyway.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Thought I could get away from won, oops I did it again. Damn Britney song.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I can't wait until the Packers wear their throwback unis.....oh wait.
Cory (PA)
I just love the fact that the Phils/Rox game was almost on still when I woke up this morning.
Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)
Spelling Police go easy on Dave. Being from Florida, he probably has the flu
Drew (Buffalo)
mayan calendar ending in 2012 = microsoft computers in 1999.
David (Boston)
No doubt there are a lot of blowhards here...I love the Sox as much as anyone else, but the Angels just played better. Now I hope they destroy the Yankees
Greg (Ellicott City)
Jason(EC)'s team in the FBBL is pure pulse.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Mayans probably caught the swine flu.
Spelling Police (On Patrol)
*taps foot, writes ticket* Here's another ONE, Dave. Watch out fo Hochuli, though, he might tag you for referencing Ms. Spears.
stephanie (cincy)
The reason I brought the Tux/Jeans thing is that it is used on dating sites to describe a guy, along with liking long walks on the beach and cuddling in front of a fire.
Jeremy (Boston)
Clay, apparently you don't know that Every Sox fan has to root for those playing the Yankees as well. Just like every Celts fan roots for those playing the Lakers.
Bob (Lowell)
Nothing sats baseball like 20 degrees and snow.
Nate (Madison)
I hate Notre Dame but I would love for the Packers to lose the yellow in their uniforms for a more gold color....but probably will never happen so I'll deal with it.
RAY GORDON REID ( TALLAHASEE FLORIDA 32306)
COMMENT AT 10.35 AM RIGHT NOW MORNING BUZZ I WILL PAY PLENTY OF MONEY ORBRIBEYOU FOR MY COMENT AND ONB
Buzzmaster (10:37 AM)
I have nightmares about Ray's zip code and location slowly creeping closer and closer to Bristol.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Why the sudden affection for throwback uniforms, why can't we get throwback prices?
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
After reviewing the post, there is no flag on the play. The chat ref enjoys Ms Spears, although he just now found out that she sings. The chat ref never noticed that before.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Wow, the spelling police is breaking its own laws.
Cory (PA)
Nate I'd rather they lose the green and go with brown.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Fake Buzz has no right to use terms such as Whambulance and ONB... Speaking of which, ONB?
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
FINE.
Luis (Arcadia, California)
At the start of the season everyone was riding off the Broncos. All the problems arising from Jay Cutler crying his way out of town. This was followed with questinable pick of Knowshon Moreno in this past NFL Draft. In addition to the problems surrounding Brandon Marshall... Here are the facts, Jay Cutler is just a gun sligger, couldn't lead a team to just one victory in the last four games of last season. You are a choke artist Cutler and will never win a Super Bowl. Next on my list is the 2009 draft class. Denver's defensive needs were addressed with the pick of Robert Ayers and Alphonso Smith. In addition to these two players several other players were brought into via free agency. Some of these players included Brain Dawkins and Vonnie Holliday. All of this supports my opinion that drafting Knowshon Moreno was a good move. If you leave him on the board San Diego picks him as the replacement for LT. Sorry Mighty Mouse Darren Sproles. Finally, Coach McDaniels has brought a winning attitude over from New England to the Mile High City. There is no doubt Denver will win the AFC and make the playoffs. There is no reason Denver should not win the AFC West. Here is why....Oakland is just terrible on both sides of the ball. The Chiefs have no rushing game, Cassell is injury prone, defense is garbage. The Chargers slow starts again is going to hurt them. Wake up San Diego this the NFL (Not For Long) this type of attitude is going to bite you in the end. Go Broncos!
Cassius Lester (Shreveport, LA)
All shortcomings aside, the team as a WHOLE HAS IMPROVED. The same two games(GA/FLA) last season LSU gives up over 100pts. This year a TOTAL of 26pts. What was the hope when Coach Chavis was hired is starting to pay dividends. The offense as we all know has talent up the wazoo. But, in my humble opinion the offense has no swagger. There is no killer instinct. It's as if Coach Miles and Coach Crowton are trying not to let 2009 be a mirror of 2008 in terms of the number of wins. Play conservative football, pray to win 10 games, finish with another minor bowl victory and we go into next season with a talented SEASONED team. Live to fight another day. All things being equal it makes sense. God Bless America and good night.
hayliewolff (florence ky)
will you tell your brother that i hope he fells better soon?
Zack (Louisville, KY)
FALL BREAK '09! WOOOOO!
cody (western michigan university)
mark ingram is the baddest running back in the country. i knew he was gonna be towards the end of last year and now its time for everybody to realize it!!! ROLL TIDE!!!!
Danny Weimer (The Woodlands, TX)
So Colin, you ready to stop trashing the Broncos? I mean were 5 - 0 with one of the best D's in the league.....you don't have to jump on the bandwagon, but come on, stop the hatin.Didn't you also say something about the Broncos and the Superbowl last week if they beat the Pats?
jamie martin (smithfield,R.I.)
Why haven't the angels been given the credit they deserve for completely dominating the red (chokes) sox ?
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
And that ends the ONB. Very clever, Jamie!
Nate (Madison)
Thanks ONB, my head now hurts.
Marc (Charlotte)
The ONB needs to be closed forever after those first two posts.
Drew (Buffalo)
Make it stop!!! Make it stop!!
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Owwwww, my eyes hurt. Too many words....
Cory (PA)
You should be more worried about fred (omaha)
Steve (NJ)
Today, Buzzmaster's stand-in has been sub-par, but then he/she/it tossed out the 'Taed Wulleeums' comment...and totally redeemed him/her/itself!
Drew (Buffalo)
He's a HOFer, Fake Buzz.
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
Who is, Andruw? You could make the argument, but I don't see it.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Im sorry I asked!
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
We have two fouls for excessive post length on Luis and Cassius Lester. Cmon Buzz, you know we don't allow that crap around here. Repeat 1st down.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz, I think you dripped some sarcasm on the floor, can we get a mop?
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I wish we had time stamps for the ONB posts. I want to get really drunk one night and send something in.
Drew (Buffalo)
I'm talking about RGR.
Matt (IN)
Wow, everyone was "riding off" the Broncos? Turribull
Greg (Ellicott City)
Pandoras Box > ONB
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
At least Pandora's Box contained Hope. The ONB is mostly sociopaths. Seriously, the stuff in there I don't post is creepy.
Marc (Charlotte)
Nate, thats probably your hangover.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And I stopped reading the ONB after the first sentence.
Cory (PA)
IT BURNS!!! IT BURNS!!!! Such a horrible ONB...even by ONB standards. I miss the rowing supporters.
Brian (Madison, WI)
So just from skimming that long post, Jay Cutler is a gun SLIGGER and the Broncos safety is Brain Dawkins. I got it.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Oh good heavens I can't read all that crap.
tom* (parkville, md)
Zack has Buzzchat potential.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, that Pandora's Box line was quite impressive.
tom* (parkville, md)
I'm beginning to think Fred (Omaha) and RAY we raised in the same car trunk.
Brad (NM)
I wish the Bills would just move to Toronot already so I can pick a new team to root for. No excuse for being that bad.
Drew (Buffalo)
Having off for Columbus day is wonderful.
Marc (Charlotte)
Mr. Hochuli, you can't flag ONB posts.
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Tell him that to his muscley face.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I step away for 5 minutes and come back to the ONB. Very jarring experience.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
You raised them both tom*? Very impressive.
Jim Zorn (DC)
Boy, I tell ya, I am some kinda awful at this coaching and play calling thing.
Nate (Madison)
Pretty sure the ONB is illegal in at least 12 states.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Good thing I finished that speed reading course. Just a homer crowing about the Broncos, followed by another looking for solace.
Marc (Charlotte)
"Tell him that to his muscley face"... Buzz, I don't speak crazy.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I think the Bills continuously hear this ticking sound and then they look over in the locker room and see the time bomb that is T.O.
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
People who lose to the Browns need to get lives.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So tom*'s to blame for fred and RGR?
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
Marc, I can flag whatever I damn well please. And you're outta here. Head to the locker room.
Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)
Jim Zorn, when the offense sputters blame it on the flu like Urban does.
Greg (Ellicott City)
The ONB makes my head hurt.
Drew (Buffalo)
T.O. is the only player I root for on the Bills. I feel bad for the guy.
Steve (NJ)
Today, I've learned they don't teach grammar in Arcadia, California...or critical reasoning skills.
Marc (Charlotte)
Ed, flagging an ONB post would be like penalizing someone in the locker room after the game.
Matt (IN)
Ed seems a little grouchy today.
Cory (PA)
It's okay Marc, just file an appeal with the chat commish.
Brad (NM)
I wish T.O. would blow up..would at least provide SOME entertainment for Bills fans this season, plus Trent Edwards is all of a sudden awful.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Lane, nice W the other day.
Jeremy (Boston)
Do you think TO is just like...whatever. It is one year. I will go to a good team next year. Just gotta keep my mouth shut.
Captain Hook (Neverland)
So that's what the constant ticking sound is? I thought it was a crocodile.
Nate (Madison)
No one forced T.O. to sign with the Bills.
Waterboy (Bayou)
Momma said crocodiles are ornery on account of all them teeth and no toothbrush.
Tony Romo (Dallas)
Is there still time to Trade for TO?
Kevin (Columbia)
At least there not as bad as the raiders
Roger Goodell (Chat Commish)
Appeal denied. Never question the Chat Ref.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
When was Edwards any good?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I never thought Trent Edwards was all that great in the first place.
Cory (PA)
I think Bills fans would be happier if TO caught something.
Dick Jauron (Buffalo)
I'm not even qualified to collect grass clippings, so how am I an NFL coach?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
The guy that's kicking for the Bucs is from my area. He did a good job even though they lost.
Jim Zorn (DC)
Good call Lane Kiffin. In that case, Randle El has had the swine flu since he came over here from Pittsburgh. And Santana Moss has had SARS except for 3 weekends over the past 7 years.
Spelling Police (On Patrol)
Pull it over, Kevin. They're, not there. Here's your ticket.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Jauron is still living off that one extremely fluky 13-3 Coach of the Year season for the Bears.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
The Gators could beat the Raiders, they looked like a HS football team Sunday.
Brad (NM)
He wasn't great..but certainly wasn't awful like he's been the past 3 weeks...All I know is Derek Anderson played far worse than Russell and he still won, which leads me to believe Oakland would abuse Buffalo right now.
Clay (Charlotte)
Geez, busy spelling police today, it's not even the end of the month. Trying to meet your quota, hmmm?
Drew (Buffalo)
Lunch: Chicken made on a foreman
fred (omaha)
buzz you are jinxing the rockies stop it, go rockies
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm actually relieved that all of this horrible team talk hasn't involved the Lions. It's sad that that's considered great progress.
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
They're kind of just...uninspiring. Not historically terrible.
Clay (Charlotte)
Lunch: Sandwich, no nicotine....ehh
Cory (PA)
Lunch: BK Lounge
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Undecided on lunch, but a nap is looking good.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Tom Cable should have to coach the Raiders as punishment, a joke I heard on Mike and Mike.
The Suits (Bristol)
Who left these pop tarts in the toaster? Mmmmm.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
After last year, uninspiring is a huge step forward.
Jeremy (Boston)
Did you really win if you won 6-3. Wouldn't you say the Defense won?
Brian (Madison, WI)
There are plenty of teams in the NFL right now that make the Lions look like a decent team.
Spelling Police (On Patrol)
*takes off the sunglasses, giving Clay the stink-eye*
Marc (Charlotte)
If MLB is going to postpone a game due to weather, perhaps that should shorten the season so they aren't playing games in October and November.
Spelling Police (Chat)
No problem making quota here. This place is a hotbed of crime.
Brad (NM)
Today's Lunch: Sushi rolls!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
They can shorten the season easily enough: Double-headers. Play a whole bunch of them in the summer.
Cory (PA)
David Caruso is the Spelling Police?
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Lunch: Potato soup, unsweet tea.
Spelling Police (Interweb)
Clay, do not question our actions again. And there are only 2 m's in hmm. One more from you and it's an early trip out.
Scott (Brewtown)
Stupid work interruptions caused me to miss half the chat. Plus I work in a credit union and it's Columbus Day. I shouldn't even be here.
Matt (IN)
What was it that Jimmy Johnson said at halftime yesterday? The Raiders logo showed up but the players stayed home?
Nate (Madison)
Lunch: Leftover homemade lasagna. Thanks mom!
stephanie (cincy)
Lunch: Chicken Caesar salad from Whole Foods and Iced tea with Sweet 'n Low
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Lunch: Cold pizza, cheddar cubes, and a random flavor of yogurt.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
*spits coffee out* Well done, Cory.
Scott (Brewtown)
Lunch: *staring blankely at screen* No idea.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Lunch: Tacos al carbon
David Stern (NYC)
Actually I think that MLB needs to extend its post season into January.
Nate (Madison)
Minnesota, smart choice to build a stadium without a retractable roof. I mean it's so warm there during April, early May, September, and early October.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Lunch: Pizza Hut buffet
The Who (Everywhere)
That was simply awful Buzz
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Cold pizza, cheddar cubes? I'm guessing Tom's better half is on the road.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
Buzz, I'm flagging you for typing in all caps. Shame on you. 15 yards and repeat 2nd down.
Buzzmaster (10:56 AM)
I run this chat, Ed. Your powers are weak here.
Marc (Charlotte)
Anyone seen the Black Taco Commercial from Taco Bell?
Al Gore (Internet)
You need to reduce some of that carbon in those tacos, Alex.
Cory (PA)
Thanks Clinton. I love getting the coffee stain of approval.
Jeremy (Boston)
Solution would have been to play the World Baseball Classic now. Instead of in March when players aren't ready, and it ends up hurting their MLB season.....
tom* (parkville, md)
Ain't nothin' weak about Ed Hochuli.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Taco bell taco with the red shell = bad idea
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
My wife is in town, Clinton. She just wasn't up to making dinner last night, so we ordered pizza.
Matt (IN)
Well, we know where Mr. Stern stands.
JB (TX)
Lunch: something relatively healthy. Ate like crap in Austin all weekend.
Scott (Brewtown)
We had tacos for dinner last night and the missus forgot the shells in the oven. 30 more seconds and they would have looked just like those carbon taco bell shells. Probably not as edible though.
Cory (PA)
Outstanding work pizza delivery kid!
Buzzmaster (10:59 AM)
And that's a wrap! Stay tuned for the rest of today's chats!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright people, enjoy the rest of your day and stay classy!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
And, Clinton, my wife isn't my "better half." She's my MUCH better half.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I made some aewsome Brownies this weekend. I may have one of those as well.
Drew (Buffalo)
Is Buzz back tomorrow?
