Gooooooooooood morning!

Steve (NJ)

Judging by the alarming number of brand new red hats with 'P's' on them, I see the Phillies won again. Note to residents of Philadelphia: you look like a toolbox wearing a Phillies' hat and a Flyer's Starter jacket. I just hope you're all wearing Eagles socks or something.

Jim (Oh)

Good Morning everyone. Bad news, A co-worker who I was around for 3 days this week has swine flu ( pause) and I'm not feeling well this morning

Rich (Altmar)

As long as the giants o-line does its job the giants will run all over the saints

Matt (IN)

Good morning everyone. Good game last night. And remember that if you want the low down, go see LoBrown.

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

How hilarious was that? Lomas came up with that on the spot. Said he's never used it before. Good stuff.

Godish (Chicago)

That Balloon Boy is definitely grounded! Mister.

Cory (PA)

The Phillies are trying to kill me, one nail-biting playoff game at a time.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, people! Let's get this last MB of the week off and rolling!

Christian (High Point, NC)

Better put the Whaaaambulance on standby in High Point, NC, because between Furniture Market and vacations/illness, I'm effectively 8 people today. Or ineffectively, since I'm here anyway.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

There was no one in the office when I came in this morning. No one. I think it's a snow day or something.

Scott (Brewtown)

Good Morning! Buzz, Nation, Canada, and even Rastall!

stephanie (cincy)

Morning Buzzie

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Morning stephie.

JB (TX)

I think Buzz is floating away in a weather balloon. Oh wait a sec, he's too fat to float.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Starting today's MB with Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Love Rollercoaster."

Nate (Madison)

I'm calling b.s. on balloon family's story.

Kanye (West)

Hey Falcon, I'm happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Russell from Up was the best of all time!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

No Office or Fringe spoilers today, please.

Jack (NB Canada)

R is among one of the most menacing sounds. That's why they call it murder not "muckduck!"

Anthony (Nj)

solid snake hiding in a box, instead of in the balloon. the odds.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'd like to order the Gabagool today.

Justin (Ohio)

This new sportsnation page stinks Buzz. I can't see any posts.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

And why pirates are constantly saying it.

Christian (High Point, NC)

And that's why Pirates say "Arrrrrrr!" now "Aiiieeeeeee!"

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Finally watched Drag Me to Hell last night. Decent movie, but it would have been a lot better had Sam Raimi not telegraphed the ending.

Jack (NB Canada)

Balloon family was featured on 'Wife Swap'

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

They were actually on Wife Swap. Twice.

Cory (PA)

Fringe spoiler: Unbelievable $#!% happened. Ridiculous explanation offered. Blonde chick looks pensive. Scene. Roll credits.

Urban (Gainesville, FL)

Anyone in hear not like Zombieland? If so, here's your ticket to 37F.

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

I haven't seen it because it looks dumb.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Office was great last night....but I found myself looking forward to Always Sunny, while the Office was on.

Anthony (Nj)

My day is already over. im just waiting for the CASINOS tonight. meet me at the Taj Mahal

Scott (Brewtown)

That balloon story was full of hot air....Ba dum bum!

Steve ( NJ)

Can we put a stop to the Kanye West posts? They ceased to be funny right about the same time they started.

Bob (Lowell)

Hey Buzz, why isn't your picture at the top of the page like all the other chatters?

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Couldn't fit in the screen....you know, cuz I'm fat. HA!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Hello. What's up?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

That was Scott in Brewtown everybody! Try the veal!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Anthony: Hit the Trop. We played there last weekend and won about $150 playing slots.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

The Office was okay last night. Not terrific, but not bad.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Zombies are so passé

stephanie (cincy)

I decided to forgo the Office and watched the USF-Cincy game instead. Did I make a good choice?

Gary (Portland)

Is it me or does Joe Torre seem to ignore his instincts lately. Kershaw was in trouble in the fourth inning and then came apart totally in the fifth.... What was Torre thinking?????

LeBron James (Cleveland)

*cough cough* Hey SN, what's shakin?

Cory (PA)

I'm pretty sure Kanye West has never been a part of anything I've enjoyed.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz's picture could be the entire background of the screen...you know because he's allegedly fat.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I went with the Dodgers-Phillies game instead. Figured I could always catch the other stuff on Hulu.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

We are having an Associates' meeting later this month that will apparently evolve into casino night in Detroit. Looking forward to losing some money that night.

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

And probably your car and wallet if you're going into Detroit.

Justin (Ohio)

Veal sounds terrific.

Cory (PA)

Hulu was made for the playoffs.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

Good morning everyone. Great Office episode last night

Justin (Ohio)

Buzz, I wanted to take a second and apologize to David (Ottawa) for calling him a loser last Friday. It was rude and uncalled for. Sorry David if you read this.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Had a little party for watching the game. Geez, I gotta headache this morning.

Don (San Francisco)

Oh no! The Goodyear blimp is floating away. Buzz is in it!

scott (niagara falls)

the bills need a new coach for sure

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Just what economically-depressed Detroit needs: casinos!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I liked,"The Office," last night. I found it to be a solid episode. I won't spoil it for those who didn't see it but definitely enough laughs to make it worth your while.

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

I thought it was pretty good. The question that's been bothering me since Jim was made co-manager is, what used to be where his office is?

Cory (PA)

Justin: Now you think Dave is illiterate just because he's Canadian?! The nerve of some people.

David (Ottawa)

Justin: Apology not accepted. I am coming to get you.

stephanie (cincy)

It sounds like I did not make the right choice not watching the Office. Bummer

JB (TX)

I watched USF/Cincy. Pretty exciting game.

Dr Weightcontrol (Bristol)

The four degrees of overweightness. 1 big boned 2 fat 3 obese4 buzzlike.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

That's been bugging me too Buzz. All of a sudden there's just this office in the back? Don't remember that space being there

Ed Hochuli (chat ref)

Flag on J.B. (Dunmore, PA) for calling Buzz "allegedly fat." There's no allegedly to it. He's fat. 5 yds, repeat 1st down.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Come on, fellas MBer-on-MBer crime is not a good thing.

Scott (Brewtown)

I saw in the local paper yesterday after the mb that someone in Marinette won 30 mil in Powerball. That could be Rastall! Rastall with money is a scary thought.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Justin should apologize for calling him a loser instead of a losser.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

That's a good point, Buzz. I wonder if they sectioned off part of the conference room and made it Jim's office.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

But the conference room was on the opposite side, near Michael's office.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

MBer-on-ONBer is tolerated though

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Office buildings can "create" offices by walling off space. My office has done that before.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Correct. But what was in that space before?

Clay (Charlotte)

Good Morning Buzz, sorry I'm late.

Brian (Madison, WI)

If you want to commit a crime on a fellow MBer just get them in a pickup basketball game.

Matt (IN)

Buzz you should read Patrick Hruby's column from yesterday in Page 2. It should help you understand why you are fat.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Tolerated, condoned, and expected!

David (Ottawa)

My guess is that Jim's office was a) part of the lunch room b) an old storage closet

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I think I may puke.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Good, Rastall does owe me some money.

Cory (PA)

I'll crime all of you.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

At my old company, unused offices were used mainly for storage

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Can't be Rastall. He's not old enough to play Powerball.

Justin (Ohio)

Fair enough David.

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

Where's the beef????

JB (TX)

There's only one way to solve feuds in TMB. Stab someone. Right, steph?

Steve (NJ)

Was at a Barnes andNoble last night, saw a Star Wars-themed book called 'Death Trooper,' so I decided to check it out. Aparently, zombies can be found in a galaxy far, far away, too. Consider the zombie shark jumped.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I'm guessing Buzz also had issues with the makeover of the Cunningham's living room on 'Happy Days." (I won't even get into the disappearance of Chuck.)

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

As long as I'm watching "Happy Days" and not "This Ain't Happy Days" by mistake.

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

JB (TX) or any Adam Carolla fans will understand that one.

Ben (Tempe, AZ)

New thing here at work. Someone brings bagels every Friday. Can Fridays get any better?

Christian (High Point, NC)

Fact: Someone once diagrammed the Brady Bunch house based on how the rooms lined up inside and found one of the bedrooms would've been suspended over the front yard.

Clay (Charlotte)

So yesterday was my grandmother's birthday and we took her out to eat. My grandfather was telling a story about a friend of his who was in the hospital for a minor surgery. The nurse came in after the surgery and the man asked her, "So, can I play piano when I get out of here?" She said, "I don't see why not." He says,"That's great because I couldn't play it before I came in." Ahhh, old people humor.

Scott (Brewtown)

Actually, it's stab someone, yhen return to chatting about the office as if nothing happened.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Buzz, I want you to post this comment in exactly one minute. If you post it in 45 seconds, I will send it back. If you post it in 2 minutes I will send it back. Got it?

Nate (Madison)

Eyeball, still sore. Nice to see Ireland booze making a big push in the U.S. with it's increased advertising for Jameson, Guinness, etc.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

On a Star Wars tangent, I saw a commercial last night for a Star Wars concert. Big orchestra comes in, plays a whole bunch of the Star Wars music, and they have exhibits, the whole nine yards. Talk about mecca for nerds.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

I saw something for that up in Boston. The Boston POPS plays a bunch of the music from the movie, while a bunch of movie clips are shown on a screen.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Steph leads the voting in the MB FFL scariest chatter poll for anyone listening.

Nate (Madison)

Cue Ogre.

Brian (Madison, WI)

At my work we have this deal where we rotate different people bringing in food each Friday morning. This morning it's little boxes of cereal and muffins. So I went with Apple Jacks and a blueberry muffin.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Hey, Mike Brady was an architect, right? He was just so good that he could suspend a room over a lawn.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Mecca for nerds was Fellowship of the Ring with a full orchestra at Radio City Music Hall last weekend ... and yes, I considered going.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate's going to milk this whole eyeball being sore thing for a week.

Mike Brady (Hollywood)

Frank Lloyd Wright ain't got nothing on me, fools!

Michael (Scranton, PA)

If you add one more Dallas chat to this lineup, I'll send it back

JB (TX)

Good one, Buzz.

Darth Vader (Space)

Clinton I am your father. Those nerds are my meal ticket. Shut up

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

"mecca for nerds" -- yet another fantastic slogan for the MB.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Nate's going to milk his eyeballs? Does that make him the long lost grandson of Al Davis?

Chad (Las Vegas)

Morning. Saints will beat the NYG by 4 this weekend!

Ogre (Adams College)

What's this I see? NERDS!!!

Scott (Brewtown)

I just received Land of the Lost in the mail last night. Something in my mind keeps saying don't watch...it's really stupid.

George Costanza (NYC...er, Scranton)

Jim's office used to be my office...only there was no door.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Anyone use Pandora? Boy my stations are picking some weird songs this morning.

Chad (Las Vegas)

ONB?

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

Let's do it.....

Lomas Brown (Bristol)

So this Fat guy keeps calling me "Big Fella."

Petey (Portage MI)

Does the Patriots have a chance to come back in their season and go to the playoffs? if so what would they need to do? and Go HUSKIES

Marc (Charlotte)

Can't make the MB due to a meeting, but I just wanted to say that today's chat lineup is a bit down compared to the last few days... probably because Buzz is fat.

John (Lexington, KY)

Studying instead of MBing. Kill me now

Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)

Buzz did you notice that anytime the fielders talked to each other last night they covered their faces with their gloves? They are leaders in the fight to prevent the flu

Jordan Rector (Lenior, North Carolina)

Do you see a posible trade in which Carolina comes out with a 1st round pick or QB of the future

Jack (Dallas)

Are you kidding Colin Texas Fair all the way, there is beer right outside the gates.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Thanks for the weather reports Robbi! Now go drink some unsweetened iced tea.

victor (monroe,la)

Leslie i,m going to miss you from the wnba.you have been one of my favorite role models of all timewill you and diana be on cell phones and be shopping this off season?

catbullett (california)

What Major League Baseball team has the most winners of the National League Rookie of the Year award?

Jeff (Louisville KY)

Hi Roy. Toughest corner you have ever faced? Favorite receiver to watch?

mj (e-town)

i'm cuckoo for cocoa puffs!!

Jayson (Killeen, TX)

I do not know how to add players to my fantasy team. (NBA)

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

And that's it.....

Clay (Charlotte)

Okay, so the Lane Kiffin ONB was actually pretty good.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Unsweetened ice tea = YUK.

Cory (PA)

I use Pandora, but it seems that Pandora thinks I should listen to Jack Johnson every other song. Fact: I do not enjoy listening to Jack Johnson every other song.

Michael Scott (Dunder Mifflin)

Remember that time that I was "hot tie guy"? Those were the days.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Why did you order it if you did not want ot see it?

Gary (LSU territory)

The Giants will be exposed as frauds this weekend,

Christian (High Point, NC)

Let me answer the two-namer from Lenoir: Carolina doesn't have anything of value to get a 1st round pick.

Ray Lewis (Baltimore)

Look, stephanie and I NEVER stabbed anybody! GOT IT? Don't make me cut you...I mean, sue you!

Nate (Madison)

So we jumped from seven to number one in most liked countries, and Canada fell from number four to seven.

Steve (NJ)

Yeah, I'm neither JB(TX) or a fan of Adam Carolla, but I think I've cracked your code, Captain Cypher.

Christian (High Point, NC)

catbullett was channeling the ghost of Steinmerms with that post.

JB (TX)

NY Giants: 07 - Super Bowl, 08 - 13-3, now 5-0. Yup, look like some frauds to me.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

We're the most liked country? I don't think we'd win that poll even in America

Brian (Madison, WI)

Fact: Canada dropped in the most liked rankings because the trade for Wisconsin fell through. We would have taken them to the promised land.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Gary: Even if the G-Men lose, they won't be exposed as frauds. Most teams don't win every game during the season and some that do don't get exposed as frauds until the last game of the year.

Chad (Las Vegas)

I vote for Denmark.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

How come we fell in the rankings? Nobody likes -35 degree winter anymore

David (Ottawa)

Fact: Canada is ranked number 7 becuase it's snowing here already.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Either catbullett already knows the answer to that question, or they're too stupid to realize they're on the Internet and can go look it up themselves. I'm leaning towards the former, so I'll indulge: It's the Dodgers.

Scott (Brewtown)

Canada keeps dropping 'cause they keep sending us these friggin' cold weather systems.

Justin (Ohio)

1 vote for North Korea.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Fact: I like to make up facts.

Nate (Madison)

Here's the link if you want see the top 10, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33279775/ns/travel-destinations/

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Canada drops because they call ham, 'bacon.'

Matt (IN)

My vote goes to Zamunda. I hope I spelled that right.

David (Ottawa)

Fact: Canada dropped in the rankings becuase we lost the Grizzlies...10 years ago.

Jack (Toronto)

victor's onb post way fred(omaha)-level creepy.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Buzz good to see you don't have any Bears chats today. You listened well.

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

Yeah, I was tired of listening to your loud whining.

JB (TX)

Had to imdb "This Ain't Happy Days." Penny Flame is in it, probably some good stuff. I'll put it in my Netflix queue.

Justin (Ohio)

A ham and bacon sandwich sound great.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Canada drops because they keep spoiling everything because they're a day ahead.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Everyone in China voted for us as the favorite country. Turns out that strategy of sending them all our money worked out!

David (Ottawa)

J.B.: We call ham "ham" and we call bacon "bacon"....at least Canada hasn't dropped in those IQ rankings

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

What about Canadian bacon that's really ham?

Neil (Pittsburgh)

Howdy all. So who won the most hated mb chatter yesterday. Had to leave early. You know clinton. Ding fries are done.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

They're a day ahead?

Zach (Wisconsin)

Whats IQ?

Ryan (Kansas City)

so do canadians not have real bacon?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Only because it's hard to fall anywhere below last place.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

You can Netflix those kinds of movies?

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

Iiiiiiiii don't think so Tim.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Yes, Clay, Canada is a day ahead. And North Carolina is a day behind.

Steve (NJ)

Got a wedding tomorrow night and the only people I know will be the bride and groom...I'm thinking it's a good night to get friendly with the bartender. Future Mrs. Steve can drive me home.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Canadian bacon taste good. That's all that really matters

Justin (Ohio)

No Clay, we're just a day behind.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

So if I win the $200 mega millions tonight I'm thinking of just buying Canada and calling it North North America.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Canada use to be a day ahead and a dollar short. Now they are only about .04 shot.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

What's that make West Virginia, 3 days behind?

Nate (Madison)

That's it....US vs. Canada. We might have failed in invading you guys during the War of 1812, but I think we can take you now.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz going Al Borland on us. Nice.

Neil (Pittsburgh)

Steve....cash or open bar?

Ryan (Kansas City)

the dollar is weak

David (Ottawa)

Canadian Bacon is nothing more then a great movie. End of story.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

*clears throat* I thought War of 1812 was US vs. England (again)?

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

And you should know, since you served in it.

Justin (Ohio)

I'm an usher at a wedding tomorrow and have to be at the church 5.5 hours early. Boooo!

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

For what? To build the church? Are you Amish?

Nate (Madison)

ZING, nice Buzz. It was but we also tried to take over part of Canada in the process.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Buzz: you forgot to add "boom, roasted!"

Scott (Brewtown)

Yeah the dollar may be weak but the 5$ is a foot long!

Al Borland (via mobile)

Buzz relates well to me...because, you know, he's fat

Chad (Las Vegas)

Why would the US want Canada? We get all their good actors.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

And comedians.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Pictures, Buzz. Tons upon tons of pictures.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

You take that many pictures before the wedding?

Brian (Madison)

When did the war of 1812 take place?

Jack (Toronto)

The MB: doing wonders for the stereotype that Americans don't know anything outside their borders.

Ryan (Kansas City)

better have a flask handy justin

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

It was, Canada was a territory of England. So it was kinda US v. Canada.

Steve (NJ)

A colleague just asked if he could 'thieve' some Splenda from me. How can you ask to thieve? Have I been crimed?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I thought we succeeded in the invasion, but agreed to leave in the peace treaty.

Justin (Ohio)

Not exactly sure what the bride to be has in store for us. We are taking pictures before the wedding but that still seems ridiculous.

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

I've never heard of that before. I've been in weddings and the most I've had to be at the church before was about an hour.

Chad (Las Vegas)

The war of 1812 ended in 1815

Ralph Wiggum (Sprinfield)

What's a battle?

Scott (Brewtown)

When did we start playing 'Are you smarter than a 5th grader, or Miss South Carolina?

Jack (Toronto)

Scott, up here that's a $5 30 centimeter sub.

Chad (Las Vegas)

So Clinton is old enought to be in the war of 1812 yet says he is in his 20's. He chats here everyday because he can't go outside. Clinton is a VAMPIRE.

David (Ottawa)

Justin: While you're taking pictures, I'll be in the trees planning my ninja attack on you.

Steve (NJ)

Bride's father still has 4 seats behind the Yankees' dugout...so I'm guessing cash bar.

Clay (Charlotte)

I'm with Chad on this one.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

What's the point of having useless knowledge if you can't spout it off to random strangers?

Al Gore (DC)

America would love having Canada because it would protect the US from another ice age. Global warming and all. You know I discovered global warming?

JB (TX)

I was at a wedding once where they took the pics before the ceremony. I remember saying "I thought it was bad luck for the bride and groom to see eachother before the wedding." 2 years later they were divorced. That'll happen.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Don't be frightened, Chad. I'm going to give you the choice I never had.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Lots of wedding talk here this week. What gives?

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

MB is full of amour.

Justin (Ohio)

You know, David actually has me a little worried.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Very nice, Chad. I just pictured Clinton looking like Bill from True Blood.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

If we invade Canada all we will get from it is a few of those worthless Canadian dollars. Pass.

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

Funny. They could actually say the same thing about us.

Chad (Las Vegas)

I'm already a soulless bastard Clinton!

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Are you excited for my return Buzz in 10 days?

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

You've been here this whole time, Grason.

Al Gore (DC)

You also know I've made a lot of money from Global Warming?

Chris (MPLS)

Buzz do you have a Twitter account?

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Ummmmm, no.

Jack (Toronto)

Misread that. I thougt Buzz said the MB was full of armor, like we were all medieval knights or somthing.

Matt (IN)

The last wedding I was in, they took pics before the wedding of the groom and groomsmen and of the bride and the bridesmaids separately, then after the wedding took pics of everyone.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

And were you there 5.5 hours early?

Chad (Las Vegas)

Jousting for everyone!

Nate (Madison)

Buzz, know what is ridiculous....guys that grunt EXCESSIVELY loud when they are lifting. Last night I seriously thought a guy was getting crimed.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Or relieving himself on the bench.

Matt (IN)

And they ended up divorced anyway.

Aaron (Deerfield Mi)

After this year since there will be more then 2 teams not to lose in college football, will they get a get a play off. All they have to do is get the top teams from each conf. then add in a mid-major like boise state and then have the top other team in the bcs. 8 teams and as soon as they lose have a double elimination and let them still go to a bowl. At least then you will know who's the best team

Clay (Charlotte)

I don't think Grason ever leaves, he's just sitting there looking at the blank chat screen on the weekend.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm going to pull a McCain's daughter on this one and since I wasn't born until after the War of 1812 I don't know much about it.

Al Gore (DC)

I also invented the Internet...without me Buzz would be unemployed.

stephanie (cincy)

Ok you hate me now buzz? Why aren't you posting me. Do I need to have a tirade? Don't get me started buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:43 AM)

Yes.

Monica Seles (Retired)

All that grunting IS annoying.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

There will be more than 2 teams not to lose? Aaron's from the future?

Brian (Madison, WI)

The guy grunting last night was ridiculous. I had to ask Nate if he was alright. He actually did sound more like he was taking a huge Rastall rather than getting crimed.

Steve (NJ)

Lunch today will be (finally) a cheesesteak.

JB (TX)

Grason, how can you be back in 10 days when you're already here? Do you have a Delorean?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Buzz, good job of getting the Rafael After Dark chat on the list already. Usually it shows up about 8pm Saturday.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Yeah, that's a pretty false statement, but thanks for skewing the facts so you can try to put me down.

Scott (Brewtown)

Umm Steve? It's 10:44. A little early?

stephanie (cincy)

fake steph, I have been away from my desk and have posted nothing in the last 15 minuts

Jim Calhoun (Storrs)

Aaron, just shut up!

David (Ottawa)

Nate: I 100% agree with you. Nothing is more distracting then the guy who is benching 300 pounds, only doing two reps, and basically yelling at the top of his lungs for those two reps...idiots.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

That might be the worst playoff idea I've ever seen. And that's saying something.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I don't believe for a second that anyone in this chat actually uses a gym

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I didn't even get to his idea. As soon as he said there'll be more than 2 teams without a loss, my eyes glazed over.

Justin (Ohio)

One thing more distracting. Seeing a ninja in a tree waiting to attack you.

stephanie (cincy)

Fact: There will not be a College Football playoff in our lifetime

Nate (Madison)

Someone needs to fix Stephanie's shift key.

Clay (Charlotte)

David, in general, most of the people who work out that much are making up for a lack of intellect. So I think calling them idiots might be redundant.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

I drive by a gym on my way home from work. Does that count?

Brian (Austin)

Lunch: that triple stack heart attack thing Hardees just came out with to compete against mcdonalds big mac.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Go back to the old bowl system with matchups and play all of those games on Jan 1. After that is over do a plus 1 game 1 week later. Gives the bowls the tradition they like and doesn't add any time to the season that the college presidents hate.

They already play the national title game a week after the other bowl games. Why can't those two teams play one extra game? They're off from school during that time anyway.

Scott (Brewtown)

I'm in a gym every weekend........to drop my son off for basketball practice

Clay (Charlotte)

Justin, you can't see the ninja in the trees, if you could they wouldn't be a very good ninja.

Ben (NC)

Shenanagans on stephanie. She has no desk. She smashed it when coffee got spilled on it.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

That's the point Justin, you don't see the ninja

Dwight (Scranton)

Fact: the only bathroom in my house is beneath the first floor.

Cory (PA)

There is a very good possibility that AutoCAD freezing up and having to redo an hours work will be the highlight of my day.

Jack (Toronto)

Fact: there already is a college football playoff in our lifetime. It just so happens it isn't at the D-1 level.

JB (TX)

Fact: I work out 4 days a week. Can't bench 300, but I'm getting close.

Brian (Madison, WI)

If I didn't hit the gym I would be Buzz level fat with all the boozing I do.

Bud Selig (Milwaukee)

I have an idea for a college football playoff. Start with giving the winners of the spring scrimmages home field advantage for the bowls...

Steve (NJ)

I want to know where I can get a SportsNation flag for my car, like that red Corola at the top of the page. I think that'd be pretty hot, a big black flag flying off my Jetta. HE-LLO ladies!

Cory (PA)

I wish there was a Hardee's or Carl's Junior near me. I would destroy a Monster Burger today.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

There might be a college football playoff in Clinton's lifetime, you know, because he's old.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Lunch: I'll be having the gobble goule.

Brian (Milwaukee)

I'm getting married this weekend............to my kegerator

JB (TX)

I just don't see how the same basic group of people that make billions off of March Madness can't figure out a way to make billions off of a football playoff.

Christian (High Point, NC)

And by "hit the gym", Brian means he throws his empties at it while he drives by.

Steve (NJ)

I'd be more afraid of a velociraptor-ninja. They hunt in packs.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Put the national title game in the weekend between the championship games and the Super Bowl.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Maybe because they make millions out of the bowl system

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Lunch: Chicken fiesta salad,unsweet tea

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Lunch: Grilled Pork Fajitas w/ guac and lime, Chips and Salsa

Christian (High Point, NC)

Lunch: Leftover pumpkin pasta. I'm going to add some bacon to it to add a little flavor (it came out a little bland).

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: turkey meatloaf and onion and garlic mashed potatoes, covered with apple cider gravy, all made by my wife. Outstanding work!

David (Ottawa)

Lunch: Cheeseburger, fries and an apple juice. Lunch of champions.

6 year old kid (Colorado)

Lunch: Balloon ride! Just kidding!

dave (home)

lunch leftover chinese food

stephanie (cincy)

Lunch: sun dried tomatoes, and a spinach salad. My shift key is just fine.

Jack (Toronto)

"Gobble goule" - that can't be right. Where's the spelling police for a ruling?

Buzzmaster

  (10:52 AM)

Office reference. I'll allow it.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Friday means out and about, so I think I'll grab some Steak 'n' Shake. Some chili and a nice bacon double steakburger with cheese ought to warm things up!

Colby (DC)

Anyone interested in joining in advanced year round fantasy baseball league?

Cory (PA)

Lunch: I'm thinking I may go with Chinese today.

Aaron (Deerfield Mi)

Thing is though the only teams that are ever going to be able to play for anything are the bcs teams that the media wants to have go. The big boys that they think they can make the most money with. Cincinnati, Boise State and a few other teams who have had a chance to be really good will still never have the chance. They want texas and bama/ florida in the big game

Michael (Scranton)

I want the spaghetti. And a side salad. And if the salad is on top, I SEND IT BACK!

Christian (High Point, NC)

Tom's lunch is only four-star due to turkey meatloaf instead of beef. Just use 93% lean and top with bacon for extra flavor/fat to prevent drying out. The apple cider gravy sounds impressive though.

Credit Card Company (USA)

Well then, Mr. Halpert, you are obviously not in San Juan Puerto Rico.

Brian (Madison, WI)

In honor of Survivor Series coming up I'm proposing a match between my team and Rastall's team. My first pick for my team is Nate, other selections to come. Instead of a tables, ladders, and chairs match we will make it a kegs, bottles, and pint glass match.

Buzzmaster

  (10:54 AM)

Promoting underage drinking by Rastall. Nice job.

Chad (Las Vegas)

My system provides the same amount of games and would draw more interest and money because all 4 of the Major Bowl games would matter because depending on who won/lost those games would depend on who plays the next week for the NC.

The Suits (Bristol)

I hear the cafeteria is serving up steak, what idiot would pass that up for tuna?

Buzzmaster

  (10:54 AM)

Excuse me faker. It wasn't just any tuna, it was mahi mahi.

Clay (Charlotte)

Lunch: Something other than health food, I'm cheating on my diet today

Dave (Pa)

BCS championship will be Texas and Boise State.

stephanie (cincy)

Lunch: not sun dried tomatoes, and a spinach salad. Going to Panera's

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

We did it for show.

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: Salad only as I'll be having a famous greasy Wisco fish fry tonight.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

I spelled it how Michael Scott pronounced it.

Matt (IN)

At lunch I am going to the liquor store to buy some beer for the boss, since apparently it is boss's day and I need to suck up. I'll pick up something while out, probably from Hardees today.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Everyone got to start somewhere buzz

Nate (Madison)

Buzz, he lives in WI....it's about time he learns.

JB (TX)

Lunch: Whataburger. Also, I got SC 34 ND 13 and OU 44 UT 38. And there's no need to invade all of Canada, we can just take Toronto and Vancouver, and leave the rest of that frozen wasteland be. Finally, Buzz, you're fat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:55 AM)

If we're just taking cities, I'd take Montreal and Quebec too.

stephanie (cincy)

Chad, if there was more money to be had with a playoff, there would be one. The College Presidents aren't stupid

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

And they're not not greedy.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Going to the grandson's high school football game tonight. Hoping they stay undefeated.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

The BCS will not allow Boise State to play in it. Sorry Dave. FAIL.

Nate (Madison)

Based on what they keep coming out with, I think Hardee's/Carl Jr are secretly trying to kill us.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Mahi Mahi is a scam. It's regular tuna and they charge you extra for it.

Brian (Madison, WI)

My team will take care of the drinking, Rastall just gets the empty keg across the skull.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Sorry Boise St won't have the SOS or computer ranking to jump ahead of 1 loss SEC team, VTech, or USC.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I thought Quebec was the name of the province? Or is there a Quebec City?

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

City too.

stephanie (cincy)

Oh they are greedy. They don't want to hand over 40% of the profits to the NCAA like they do with BB

Kellen Moore (Boise)

I gotta confess.....if we actually played Florida or Texas or Alabama for the BCS "national championship".........we'd lose by three touchdowns.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

There do is a Quebec city, it's quite nice, but it's mainly french, except for the touristic parts

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Nice finish to the chat week, all. Hope you enjoy the football and baseball this weekend. Have a great time, stay safe, and see you back here on Monday. Peace.

Tulsa (OK)

BSU almost lost to us, and we are not that good.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Alright, sports nation...its been real, its been fun, it just hasn't been real fun. Have a good weekend!

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

I might have to go get another cup of coffee. I can't stop yawning this morning.

Scott (Brewtown)

Have a swell weekend everybody!

Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)

Fact: Boise State will be in the BCS title game after the BCS computer is infected by the flu

Principal Strickland (alternate 1985 Hill Valley)

EAT LEAD, SLACKERS!

Dave (Pa)

Alex In January I will be saying What Now Alex. The BCS is going to rank them to high and they will be forced to have them in the game as they will go undefeated.

Nate (Madison)

I actually got over 5 hours of sleep last night and I feel more tired than I normally do.

Pizzy (Lindenhurt, NY)

Mike with the not so funny old joke...not well played sir

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Infecting computer with the flu worked in independance day

Christian (High Point, NC)

Everyone have a great weekend! Don't do anything Rastall would do!

Cory (PA)

Have a good day Morning Buzzers! And remember, Friday is just like Saturday, only you still have to work.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Have a great safe weekend, folks! See you on Monday!

Pizzy (Lindenhurt, NY)

great movie

Nate (Madison)

Louis, they actually gave the computer system a cold not the flu

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Hell, that joke's older than I am.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Happy weekend! Bye y'all.

Buzzmaster

  (11:01 AM)

All right. We're done here. Thanks for stopping by. We'll be back again on Monday. Until then, enjoy the football this weekend, have fun with the MLB playoffs and stay classy SportsNation!

Matt (IN)

Have a great weekend everyone, and don't forget to keep your hot air balloon well moored.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Of course, go pull a Nate and Brian this weekend people.

Rutherford B. Hayes (Long gone)

Clinton and I were roommates...

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I can see Clinton shaking his cane as he says that.

Anthony (Nj)

Or not do anything friday, and just wait to go and waste money down the casinos. whos with me!

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

My mistake Nate, I'l drink one more beer this weekend because of that
