Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Gooooooood morning!
Neal (Philly)
Morning Buzz. I'm still celebrating last night's win.
Jeff (Ohio)
So do you think the Bengals are going to beat the Bears? Or will it be another loss like the previous game?
Jeff Fisher (via mobile)
Buzz, do you like my Pulse jersey? I wanted to look like a winner.
Zombie Brad Lidge (Philly)
Saaaaaves...
Bob (Lowell)
Black Taco
Christian (High Point, NC)
Wow, I'm really sorry I missed the "waaah refs suck" chat yesterday*
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Yeah, let's try to control ourselves today, people.
Cory (PA)
Bad time to get married in the City of Brotherly Love. There's a champagne shortage.
Jenny (Lock Haven)
Hey Buzz the Phillies are the best. Even the Bombers can't compare!!!!
Greg (Ellicott City)
Blackjack, Blackbeard, Blackboard,....
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, folks! Happy Office/30 Rock Day!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm wearing my Buzzmaster jersey today because I wanted to look emaciated. You know, 'cause Buzz is fat.
Jenny (Slippery Rock)
Okay, Buzzmaster I'm ready to chat!
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
How many people were arrested celebrating in Philly last night? Over/under is 60,000.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Starting today's chat with Ben Folds Five.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Dunkin Donuts coffee- check. Spelling autocorrect - on. Smarmy comments - ready. OK, let's chat!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Good morning. I feel like crap.
Neal (Philly)
I wonder if my friend was arrested. I haven't heard from her.
Justin (Rockford, IL)
NNNNOOOOOORRRRMMMMMM!!!!
JB (TX)
Emaciated? Wow, someone went to college...
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Glad J.B. has his smarmy comments ready to go. Yesterday's chat could have used a lot more smarm.
Don (Michigan)
H1N1 which sport is it more likely to affect?
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
When I woke up this morning it was pitch black outside. I thought I screwed up my clock and set it too early. Needless to say I was not impressed when it was right.
Norm Peterson (Boston)
Good Morning everybody! I'll see you at 12:30!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Please do not yell. My head is pounding.
Marc (Charlotte)
Morning everybody.
Steve (NJ)
Wuss in Boots is was complaining on the FB page about ref chat yesterday. Poor, poor Wuss in Boots.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
I bet George Wendt has never heard someone say that to him, Justin.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Didn't know about this until last night, but in celebration of Monty Python's 40th anniversary, they're running a 6-part documentary on IFC this week. Last night's episode was about the making of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Interesting stuff.
Scott (Brewtown)
So, piggy flu is going around like a church plate on Sunday mornings, yet my son stays home yesterday, why? ....because of a rash on his arms. Never knew an 11 year old to get a rash on their arms, feel fine but not allowed in school. And I took him to the doc who said it was just a viral rash and not a problem, yet guess who's still not allowed in school today. Annoying!
Nate (Madison)
So a state assembly guy from some county up north got a DUI last month (think it was his 4th) and people were calling for his head and him to be expelled. He now just got another one last night, I think his state government days are done.
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
Somehow I'm not surprised that you can get 5 DUIs in Wisconsin and not spend any time in jail.
Jenny (Lock Haven)
So who's gonna win Game 5 of the ALCS? I'm pulling for the halos!
Ryan (San Diego)
How many philly citizens were hit in the head with vodka bottles last night?
Nate (Madison)
So Jim and Pam return tonight and Michael reveals his new love (I'm guessing Pam's mom), this could be good.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Buzz, after yesterdays chat I had to redeem myself, it worked, I was wasted last night
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wait a minute, Steve. YOU'RE the one who claimed responsibility for the ref chat.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I found out yesterday a friend of mine who was in town last weekend and stayed at my house has the swine flu. I'm kind of hoping I catch it and get time off from work.
Steve (NJ)
This morning I went to the dentist for the pre-wedding teeth cleaning. Monday AND Tuesday I'll be going back for the pre-wedding cavity repair spectacular. Guess I should have worked on this in advance...
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
Wow. Just wow.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The librarian at my daughter's school read a spooky story to the class about a doll that comes to life and kills people. This is a class of 3rd graders. I sent a note about her indiscretion and my daughter got a formal apology while we got an apologetic phone call from the librarian. Fatherly duty executed.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
You're guessing? Haven't you seen the promo where Pam says: stop dating my mom?
Don (Michigan)
Whats the over under on how many bad calls...oops did I do that?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
"Wow. Just wow." That response could be used for many, many . . . many MB posts.
Ryan (San Diego)
I've been putting off my root canal and cavity repair for weeks now
Beyonce (Cali)
Halooooooo
Pete (NC)
Today sucks. I can't pinpoint a single reason why, but I'm in a pretty crappy mood. Maybe I'll just sit this one out today.
Steve (NJ)
I do claim ref chat; I also am pointing out that Wuss in Boots whined about it. I had not problem with ref chat.
Cory (PA)
Just replace the icing on the wedding cake with Crest. No one will mind.
Clay (Charlotte )
Good morning SN from the road to Wilmington, just want to put this out there...HAHA, all you loosers are at work!
Christian (High Point, NC)
I just hope the ALCS goes to 7 because otherwise it'll be roughly a month between tonight and the start of the World Series.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Nice line-up today, Buzz ->
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Did Tom just go Commandant Lassard on us? "many, many, many"?
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Sounds like a pretty cool librarian, actually. Poltergeist was my favorite movie when I was in 2nd/3rd grade.
Jenny (Lock Haven)
People will you please talk to me? You didn't talk to my 3rd cousin Justin or my Brother J-Man or my twin sister Jenny. Do you hate the Pryson family or something? C"MON MAN!
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Your first day here and you're already horribly annoying.
Don (Michigan)
Has it ever snowed for a world series game?
Buzzmaster (10:11 AM)
Yes. A few times.
Jeremy (Boston)
So, if the Yankees Win tonight......The World Series will start next Wed. Solid scheduling MLB. Way to bring any postseason momentum to a screeching halt....
Kanye (LA)
Beyonce, Imma let you finish but Beyonce had one...of...wait...
Jeremy (Boston)
So Jenny is really Justin. Cool.
Nate (Madison)
On my daily moaning about the weather. It's 45, windy, and rainy. Suppose to rain today, tomorrow, Saturday, let up on Sunday, rain again Monday night, rain Tuesday, rain Wednesday next week. Think I've procrastinated on this arc long enough, might start on the base tonight.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I know we don't normally do celebrity birthdays in here, but I think this one has to be mentioned, given our love of Back to the Future. Christopher Lloyd is 71 today!
Steve (NJ)
The cavities appear to be in-between my molars. My toothbrush doesn't fit in there.
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
No, but floss and mouthwash do.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Josh: Yeah having a child in terror who needs to sleep with you with the light on is pretty cool (rolling eyes). THEY ARE EIGHT YEAR OLDS!
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
People who fake post as females in an attempt to get posted because most of their posts are garbage need to get lives.
David (Ottawa)
Got traded to the worst team in my basketball league to "even out the teams"....you know its bad when the first guy you meet on the new team is the "best" player and hes 50 with an arthiritc hip. I scored 30 and we just barely won...season should be fun...
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do hate the Pryson family.
JB (TX)
Wait, was that a Police Academy reference?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wow, can we get a WHAAAmbulance to Lock Haven on the double?
Ryan (San Diego)
You have a twin sister Jenny too? Wait, I thought she was from slippery rock
Brian (Madison, WI)
The previously mentioned lawmaker is getting these DUIs with prescription drugs I believe, but yes Wisco is very lenient with DUIs.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Again, no one is surprised by this.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Yeah, nothing like a 5 day break if the Yanks win tonight. MLB already preempts everything on Fox, how hard would it be to have a flexible schedule?
Neal (Philly)
Buzz thinks floss is spaghetti.
Cory (PA)
Christopher Lloyd is 71? Great Scott!
Nate (Madison)
IT"S THE LIBYANS!!!!!
Steve (NJ)
Floss and what, now?
Forrest G (Alabama)
I like Jenny.
Jay (Chicago)
Nate..same forecast here in Chicago and its already raining, getting ready to drive to Cincy to see the Bears secondary get destroyed.
Justin (Rockford, IL)
I still can't believe Ditka looks that good to only be 70 years old
Ryan (San Diego)
Flossing is so time consuming. I know I dont do it enough and it is the single reason why I get cavities between my teeth, but yet I'm still too lazy to do it enough. And by enough I mean pretty much ever
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, no SVP chat today?
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
I don't know. Is he on the schedule?
Nate (Madison)
Like the late mitch hedberg said....starting flossing is like quitting smoking.
JB (TX)
1.21 GIGAWATTS???
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Prescription drug DUI? Isn't that called "The Sutton"?
fred (omaha)
back off gump, she is mine
Cory (PA)
Okay. The Gump post was funny. Congrats whoever you were.
Nate (Madison)
McDonald's Vanilla Iced Coffee...pure awesome syrup.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I read a book of poems to my 3 year old son last night that included a poem about a ghoul who waits outside a school to grind the bones of children to a pulp. He had no fear. We also watched Ghostbusters last night. He had no fear. Of course, I read him The Exorcist while he was in the womb, so that might explain it.
Marc (Charlotte)
David plays in an intermural basketball league that allows trades?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
FACT: Cotton candy is also referred to as Candy Floss. Ah the irony of that name.
joe (nm)
fact: tom has bodys in the basement.
stephanie (cincy)
My son loved scary stuff when he was little. The scarier the better. If it didn't make him wet his pants it wasn't scary
Christian (High Point, NC)
3 year olds can handle it better than 8 year olds because their concept of what is actually scary is kind of skewed. My toddler gets scared at the weirdest things (and of course, I don't have an example handy ... not Division I chatting in High Point today)
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
My school was shut down for Thursday and Friday because of swine flu.
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
BS
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Does anyone else remember those "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" books as a kid? Man, those things had some pretty messed-up stories and some unsettling illustrations to go with it.
Jay (Chicago)
Starbucks Coffee = Motor Oil
Rich (Douglas AK)
Russell Martin took the worst foul-tip cup shot from Matt Stairs last night. He didn't pass out but I lost track of time for a few minutes.
David's Intramural Commish (Ottawa)
With the first pick of the first round of the 2010 draft, the Snowshoes select 48yr old James Flambeau from 134 E. Fifth St.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Unlucky us. Boo Rastall.
Scott (Brewtown)
Anyone here old enough to remember cany cigarettes? They even were dyed red on the ends to make them look like they were lit. Aah, youth.
Cory (PA)
Fact: Sugar is processed from sugar beets. Also Fact: Bears eat beats. Conjecture: Bears are at a high risk for diabetes.
David (Ottawa)
marc: the way it was explaned to me was they do a draft at the beginning of the season, but since i just moved here no one knew me and I was picked in the 6th round...the commish told me I should have been a top 3 pick, and that my team was too good...so i got traded to the worst team to help them win (they lost by 30 in week 1)...so basicaly I got shafted.
Matt (IN)
Ha, that was a nice intramural commish post. Kudos.
Rich (Douglas AK)
Scary Stories... still on book order forms across America.
Don (Michigan)
Schools everywhere are shutting down in Michigan because of the H1N1 flu..
David (Ottawa)
Rastall's school wasn't shut down, they just told him not come cause they hate him.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I thought sugar came from sugar cane.
Neal (Philly)
I remember candy cigarettes and I'm a long way from being a man in Mike Gundy's eyes.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Shut up Grason. No one likes you either.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Rastall, just because you only managed to finish 12th in the homecoming king race doesn't mean you need to spread swine flu around your school as pay back. And you wonder why you get beat up all the time.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Candy cigarettes were great. I liked the ones that puffed out candy dust when you blew through them so they really looked like you were smoking. Fantastic stuff.
Rastall's Principal (Wisconsin)
"There will be a party today from noon till 2 to celebrate the fact that we tricked Zach into thinking school was closed. Free beer for all!"
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
If they can make a product with shampoo and conditioner, why can't they make a shot that covers the flu and pig flu?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Just had an idea: Grason vs. Rastall, Thunderdome-style.
Nate (Madison)
Oh, Rastall firing back!
Scott Boras (LA)
David....you should have had a no trade clause in your contract. Or at least a trade bonus. Next time work with me.
Clay (Charlotte )
BOOO Rastall
Brian (Madison, WI)
Rastall never accepted my Survivor Series kegs, bottles, and pint glasses match. Scared.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
On second thought, maybe not Thunderdome. Steel cage match, no holds barred?
Don (Michigan)
I was hoping TO would get traded but alas no one wanted to risk their franchise.. oh well maybe next year
Nate (Madison)
I see Rastall freaking out one day like Ralphie in Christmas Story.
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
Only about a month before that movie is on all the time. Yeeehaw.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Rastall bashing is WAY more fun than Grason bashing.
mitchel (houston)
BUZZ I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
Faker.
Jeff (New York)
I've never really gotten the whole Grason thing, Buzz. Explain.
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
Grason is one annoying person that alleges to be two annoying people Jason and Greg, but are really one annoying person in Grason.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
That Grason guy is just strange.
Dave (vt)
Hey buzz can you hit fast forward and move this day ahead about an hour and half, today sucks.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
That was funny, what was ralpie saying? Rack um frack um?
Neal (Philly)
Some strange number just tried calling me, so I picked up the phone and just hung it up.
Bob (Lowell)
So David, does that mean the 50 year old with the arthritic hip was taken before you?
mitchel (houston)
Buzz I swear on my mother's name it's really me!!! My Broncos are 6-0 and I'm not even on the juice at the moment.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Oh Lord...everyone guard your couches.
David (Ottawa)
We could hold a PPV with grason vs. Rastall as the main event, Brian vs. Nate in an all you can drink headline, and Jenny vs. Steph in the open vs. cash bar undercard. I'd pay to see it. Oh and Matt Damon would be the guest announcer.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I like Christmas, but hate Christmas music most Christmas movies.
Christian (High Point, NC)
So I stopped off at the mall yesterday, and they had Hickory Farms stands up already. I'd be upset, but it's Hickory Farms!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Mike is back!!!!!!!!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I was going to say move it ahead six hours, but hour and a half sounds right. Don't want to skip lunch.
Scott (Brewtown)
Scott Farcas.....He had yellow eyes.
Marc (Charlotte)
Dave, the MB will be over in a half hour. Why would we want to miss the second half?
Sammy (Austin)
If we are fast forwarding the day, why not just go to 5pm? It is The Office and 30 Rock night!
Ryan (San Diego)
mitchel had to go out and buy new couches because he like all the other Bronco fans hated their new coach a month ago and were all doom and gloom.
Jeremy (Boston)
So Buzz....going to a Wedding in Pittsburgh tomorrow. Wedding on Sat should be good, but is there anthing to do? Or should I just plan on pulling a Nate and Brian on Friday?
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Buzz-just because you refuse to post me doesn't mean I am the same person. Can't you check the IP addresses or wait.....the MB facebook group?
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Let's get a break from the me bashing, ONB?
Neal's Boss (side of the road)
I just called my employee, but the guy hung up on me!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Rastall vs Grason is like Pirates vs Nationals. Sure there might be some entertainment value, but does it actually matter who wins?
Jeff Fisher (via mobile)
Buzz, how about putting on this ONB jersey so that we all may look like winners?
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
Let's do it....
Josh M. (Taunton, MA)
Would you consider the Patriot's 59-0 win of the 0-5 Tennessee Titans as domination and full of talent, or would you say the Patriots only scored that high due to bad defensive calls and mistakes?
Phillip Masters (Tonawanda, NY)
My friend believes Michael Vick benefited from being in prison, football-wise. And that from more workouts, and "back to basics" passing, hel has become a better quarterback. Please help me knock some much needed sense into him.
Timothy McCool (Cushing)
Regarding the instant replay in the MLB, I believe that we should have it however in every league every official has made a few bad calls in big situations. If the MLB does get instant replay thats great but if its only because of the umpires this post season its unfair to those umpires and everyone else.
Zack (Alabama)
Just wondering why Colin dislikes Alabama so much?
Don (Michigan)
I was a huge USFL and NFL fan back in the day, do you think if the USFL would have stayed a spring league they could have coexisted with the NFL?
tom (philadelphia)
The Phillies are by far the favorite to win the World Series. No team can even come close to beating the Phillies. I can't wait to play the damn Yankees to prove to the media and the world how great of a team and how great of a city Philadelphia is. The Philadelphia Phillies will have to prove AGAIN that they are better than the Yankees and will go on AGAIN to win the World Series. Philadelphia "America's City".
diesel (new jersey)
i think that sportsnation is awesome
Adam Minkel (US Naval base, Sasebo, Japan)
Baseball should be able to replay any play. PGA even has replay if the rules offices needs to spot a ball.
Don (Michigan)
Can Michael Crabtree be effective even though he missed so much practice and playing time or are we going to have to wait a year to see what he can do?
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
And that's it....
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I know I'm in the minority, but I don't like 30 Rock.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Is Ryan really trash talking Steroid Mike? Have you looked at the NFL standings today, Ryan?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
No hype for the George Wendt chat today? Did we peak by getting excited about it earlier in the week?
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
George Wendt 12:30 today! Be there!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Grason, you could've just created two profiles. For example, we have Rich Rodriguez and Dick Vitale in there. Come on.
Neal (Philly)
Jeremy, pull a Nate and Brian, although you need to go to Quaker Steak and Lube. They have the best buffalo wings I've ever had.
Cory (PA)
Short ONB. But as a Phillies phan myself, to say the Yankees have no shot is just plain crazy talk.
Marc (Charlotte)
Never watched 30 Rock or The Office.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Yes the ONB still sucks.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
That ONB seemed less...drunk than normal.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
First time in a while I didn't post in the ONB.
Steve (NJ)
The Phillies are by far the favorite team to win the Series? No offense, Philly, but you have 2 starters to go against the Yankees....and that only works if they're Schilling and Johnson.
Clay (Charlotte)
The greatest thing about not being in the restaurant business anymore is not having to hear crappy Christmas songs ALL DAY LONG while you're working.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I love 30 Rock, but I can see why people don't like it. Hell, I was like that with Seinfeld, so there you go.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Maybe he's schizo.
mitchel (houston)
Thank you Tom. Your couch will remain safe.
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
That's nice of you Mike.
Ryan (San Diego)
I wasn't trash talking Tom, just merely laughing at all the same people who wanted McDaniels run out of town before 1 game and Orton was the worst qb ever a month ago, to all of them saying how great they are now and how they knew the Broncos would be good
Christian (High Point, NC)
That's a saner course of action than putting your faith in Norv Turner, Ryan.
JB (TX)
Not a big sitcom guy, but I like 30 Rock better than The Office. And that other show w/Amy Poehler sucks.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Those are some mighty sour grapes from Ryan.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I despise Seinfeld. Love The Office though, before everyone starts thinking I dislike normal comedies.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
There's an empty void here without Jeff, Joe, and Robert.
Ruckus (SATX)
Sorry I'm late. I only got 18 hours of sleep yesterday. That darn baby won't shut up.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
We can add another match to the PPV undercard: Mike vs. Ryan in a TLC match!
Ryan (San Diego)
Well they were the first team ever to blow a 3 game division lead with 3 weeks to play, so here's to being the first team ever to start 6-0 and not win the division
Neal (Philly)
There are no voids with Buzz around, because, you know, Buzz is fat.
Department of Redundancy (Department)
Empty void, Rastall? Really?
Steve (NJ)
As opposed to a full void? Stay in school, kids.
mitchel (houston)
In my defense, I pick the Broncos to go undefeated every year. With Monday night's win and a bye next week, I can continue to look like a genius for at least 2 more weeks.
Scott (Brewtown)
Jeff is tilling his Dorito fields, Joe is AWOL, and Robert is in Solitary confinement.
Steve (NJ)
Tender Loving Care match? That sounds awkward.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
(Taking notes on Josh's TV likes and dislikes.)
Zack (Louisville, KY)
ruckus doesn't capitalize, Fake Fake ruckus
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
Isn't that a double negative? So you're saying ruckus is real?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That's got to be a burning couch match.
Cory (PA)
Dan Snyder just announced he will dig up Vince Lombardi to be a special adviser to Sherman Lewis while he advises Zorn.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Robert is in the hole
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I thought the department of redundancy would love empty void. After all, if there is a whole department dedicated to it
Steve (NJ)
Robert's out winning disc golf tournaments or something.
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
Nice! Someone just came over and offered me a fudge brownie.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Sorry, Ryan, but that title is reserved for the Vikings.
Matt (IN)
There is a band playing in a club here this weekend named Ruckus. That dog is pretty talented..
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Hey when was San Diego's last Super Bowl? Only one I remember is the one when they were blown out by SF.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Tried disc golf once. I sucked. Never tried again. At least with real golf there are carts.
mitchel (houston)
No contest Tom. Everyone knows I will easily take that match.
Jeremy (Boston)
Pretty sure a team has started 6-0 and not won the div title. I think the vikings did it and didn't even make the playoffs....
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Ruckus does whatever he feels like doing. That's what dogs do.
Nate (Madison)
I thought Robert broke out and was down in Zihuatanejo, Mexico?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Watch out for the "special ingredient" in that brownie, Buzz. It's got to be either pot or Ex-lax.
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
I'll let you know in about 10 minutes.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Does that person still have their arm, Buzz?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
TLC=Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
Sherman Lewis (Redskins Park)
B-46....G-16......I mean, HB sweep left delta zebra....go!
Scott (Brewtown)
Josh, I am sure you meant BEER carts.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Like you need any more food Buzz. Especially sweets.
Neal (Philly)
Is that Michelle's way of keeping you away from her, Buzz?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Wow, Grason actually made me laugh there. Good on you, Grason.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
If I remember right, Joe started up a new business that takes a ton of his time, Robert's work internet is the suck so he can't join us, and I have NO idea what happened to Jeff. Probably busy with the farm.
Clay (Charlotte)
I'm sure ruckus is real, it's just ruckus on TMB is fake, get it right Buzz.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
A few weeks ago, some friends slept at my house during their holidays and my friends wife brought me a whole plate of brownies. I'm happy I didn't develop diabetes from all the sugar I ate that week
Buzz (Bristol, CT)
*finishing Fudge brownie in one bite*
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz have you seen the video of the kid trying to make a break dancing video and ends up kicking his cat into the camera?
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Buzz, are you really that fat?
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
I'll be whatever you imagine me to be.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
It must be a Brownie time of year. There is a plate full of frosted ones at my house.
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
I came home from work yesterday to find LadyBuzz had made cupcakes...then she told me they were for her work. Woke up this morning and there were 3 on a plate left. She said she left them for me.
Don (Michigan )
Anybody catch the food networks tailgating contest? Not a good thing to watch at 2:00 am..
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
If the chat comes to a sudden stop in 10 minutes, it was EX-Lax. If it becomes more lucid and interesting, it was pot.
Adam (PA)
Just bought 21 shares of McDonalds. Everyone help me out and spend money there, please.You know you want a McNugget meal for lunch. Their fries are sooooo good. You can't resist the golden arches!
Zack (Louisville, KY)
A plate of brownies in a week isn't too bad
mitchel (houston)
Is it ok for someone with testosterone levels as high as mine to admit a mancrush??? If so I'd like to profess mine on Brian Dawkins. If it's not ok, forget I ever brought this up.
Michelle (Bristol)
I cant believe I got dared to give Buzz a brownie. I really cant believe I survived.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
ummmmm, ok?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
My wife was slightly ahead of brownie day. We polished off a pan last week.
Sammy (Austin)
I feel Brownies are the most underrated dessert. Cookies and cakes get all the glory.
Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)
Fact: Eating brownies in Florida can lead to the flu.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
With fred around, you might not want to say that, Buzz.
Cory (PA)
No Hayden. Buzz is that other fat.
Steve (NJ)
Buzz just creeped me out big time.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Buzz has his own gravitational pull.
coyote (sa)
Depends on what you mean by "that fat".
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I think Buzz did describe himself as "slightly rotund" once.
Nate (Madison)
Adam, you're about 30 years too late.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Brownies > Cookies > Cake > Dirt > Rastall
Clinton (Indianapolis)
B-46? Shenanigans. B column is only 1 to 15. Of course you all knew I'm going to point that one out!
joe (nm)
I thought I talked Tim Tebow down from killing a angel for it's wings, cus he likes to dip them in the tears of orphans, but it turned out I was drunk and talking to a stop sign.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Yes Clinton. He sure did.
Marc (Charlotte)
Adam, I've been a shareholder of MCD for a few years, yet I rarely eat there. Buzz eats enough for all of us.
Matt (IN)
Obviously Matt Damon enjoyed several cupcakes yesterday.
Couches (Everywhere)
See michael, now you've gone and upset us
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Chicken McNuggets = Cardboard
Cory (PA)
I don't like cake. I said it...deal with it. Brownies are wonderful though.
Steve (NJ)
Ok, I retract my previous statement; Joe (NM) creeps me the heck out.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Zach Rastall announces his participation with a swine flu reference . .. Clinton corrects a Bingo error . . . Buzz chats about a brownie. Is this "Set yourself up for a beatdown" day?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Tomorrow is Philly Pretzel day at work. Always a good time.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
When I was a kid, I couldn't get enough of McDonald's Sweet and Sour sauce. I coulda drank that stuff.
Nate (Madison)
Seems like some of that radiation has creeped into Joe (NM)'s head.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, are you going to be Grimace for Halloween... you know cuz you're fat?
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
I was last week when I wore my purple shirt.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm with you, Cory. Not a fan of cake. Love pie, though.
Troop 385 (Indianapolis)
Yes brownies are wonderful.
Jeremy (Boston)
Zack is crazy. Chicken McNuggets are....what's the right word.....awesome...
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Whenever I post a comment it's a "Set yourself up for a beatdown day" for me.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Pie is overrated, like USC
coyote (sa)
And by "shirt", Buzz means mumu.
JB (TX)
My company is opening a new branch in New Mexico. Remind me not to hire anyone named Joe.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
I actually like McNuggets from time to time, except the time I bought some while on a big trip and wanting to eat in the car. I have a stick shift car, so I took the nuggets in my left hand and the sauce in my right one and I dipped every time I turned right.
Marc (Charlotte)
Tom, Clinton is old. It's not nice to beat up old people.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Should I be worried that my ring and pinkie fingers on my left hand have been numb/asleep for a month?
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Uhhhhhhh, say what?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
My neighbor,because I gave her pumpkins, made a real pumpkin pie for me. It was excellant work!
Ryan (San Diego)
Who doesn't like pie? Hayden, using your USC analogy, they only have 1 bad game a year, just like there is only 1 bad pie. Mince meat
Marc (Charlotte)
Have they turned blue and fallen off yet Josh? If not, then blood is probably still flowing towards them. Probably more of a nerve issue
Cory (PA)
Should you be worried, Josh? That depends. What's your stand on leprosy?
Jeremy (Boston)
Partially paralyzed hand....yeah, you might want to see a doctor on that.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Yes you should. And you should be worried that you need MBers to tell you that
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Rastal, im sorry dude, it must be horrible to suck as bad as you
Greg (Ellicott City)
Boo Rastall, hooray beer.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Not a big fan of pie, mostly because not a big fan of the filling (apples, blueberries, etc.). Pumpkin pie, though, is pretty good.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Wendy's nuggets are far superior to McNuggets. Other than that, I prefer the food at McDonald's.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
And beating me up would be child abuse, so that's leaves beating up Buzz. Unfortunately, that wouldn't work either because his fat would absorb the blows.
Judge (Marinette, Wisconsin)
I never liked that sniveling little twit. Child abuse charges dismissed!
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
That's weird, I feel the exact opposite. I prefer the burgers at Wendy, but the nuggets at McD
Chris (MPLS)
Clinton, how can you not like all pie? That's un-American
Pete (NC)
There's no need for Chicken McNuggets when you can have Chick Fil'A chicken strips with Chick Fil'A sauce. And waffle fries. And lemonade. And a chocolate shake. I think I just talked myself into my lunch.
Big Z (via mobile)
I loves me some mince meat pie!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Scott (cincy)
lunck = milk steak / jelly beans raw and a can of wine
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I like most pies, but I flat out can't eat pumpkin pie.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Buzz, since you are an expert on food, when is it too early to start lunch?
Buzzmaster (10:52 AM)
Never too early.
mitchel (houston)
IF YOU DON'T LIKE ALL PIE, THEN THE TERRORISTS HAVE ALREADY WON.
Cavity Creeps (Steve's Mouth)
Lunch: Teeth!
Steve (NJ)
Seeing as I'm not at work today, and my lunch choices are limitless....I'm thinking it's a Five Guys kinda day.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Although I do enjoy Wendy's "special" burgers like the bacon mushroom melt and the 1/2 pound jalapeno cheddar burger. Too bad those aren't available all the time.
Nate (Madison)
Food intolerance for poultry has me indifferent on this chicken discussion.
Neal (Philly)
Lunch: something healthy
Greg (Ellicott City)
Buzz eats only one meal per day. It lasts 22 hours.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Lunch: Beef enchiladas made by my wife. Outstanding work!
Rickey Henderson (Hall of Fame)
Zach Rascal you are not even mediocre. But Rickey is the greatest of all-time.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
KFC Chicken strips are the Porsche of fast food breaded boneless chicken treats.
Cory (PA)
Lunch: Subway...or pie. Maybe I'll see if they can make a pie sub.
Charlie (Philadelphia)
Lunch: sleep, I am extremely hungover.
Steve (NJ)
Apple Pie > Blueberry Pie > CHerry Pie > Strawberry Rhubarb > Lemon Merangue > human flesh > dust of ages > Pumpkin Pie
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Lunch: not pie
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Buffalo Wild Wings has some pretty decent chicken strips, too.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
LUNCH: Six-inch turkey, cucumber, lettuce, and shredded carrots sub from Subway with a Light Yogurt and diet soda. Yep, still doing the healthy thing.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Nate I think it's safe for you to eat the McD's chicken mcnuggets since they don't actually have chicken in them.
Scott (Brewtown)
There's a carribean place in Milwaukee that has deep fried burgers. I think I may have to try that.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Rhubarb pie is my favorite. Then pumpkin. Then other fruits.
Nate (Madison)
If this guy over by my cube doesn't stop being so annoying, shut up, and return to his row.....I'm going to crime him
Pete (NC)
I'm scared to ask how Steve can include human flesh in his comparison.
Ryan (San Diego)
Wings n Things for lunch now, then hoping they have some kind of pie as well.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Steve is part zombie?
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Lunch: leftover lasagna
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Nate, go postal man
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I haven't had McDonald's in forever and they have pie, so...
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
There was a recipe in our paper yesterday for mini apple pies you bake on a stick. It's like lollipop meets pie.
Steve (NJ)
It's a humorous comparison, Pete. Try to keep up.
mitchel (houston)
Need some help Nate?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
It's raining.
Marc (Charlotte)
I think price has to be included in the chicken strip/nugget discussion. Chick-Fil-A is good, but quite a bit more expensive than the $1 nuggets you can get at Wendy's or McD's.
Alex (Gainesville)
Blasted phone calls, interrupting my morning buzz. Lunch: Salami on Sourdough, Kettle chips.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Lunch: Leftover spaghetti
Buzzmaster (10:56 AM)
You forgot the "-O's" part.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Lunch: Shrimp Salad sub.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Steve = Undead Zombie Lawyer?
Ben (NC )
Got here late and the chat seems like it is being run by lady buzz. I can't follow the main theme today.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Nate you should hire Terry Tate, Office Linebacker.
Bob (Lowell)
Apparently human flesh causes cavities.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Do we EVER have a main theme?
mitchel (houston)
THE DENVER BRONCOS WILL WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!!
Peter (Canada)
I loved how Lidge said his faith in God helped him finish up this series... yes, because God is a Phillies fan. Athletes should keep religious feelings to themselves.
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
Or his faith in God helped him keep his head up while he was struggling.
JB (TX)
Lunch: McDs. Hey, I'm a team player.
Nate (Madison)
Lil Wayne, going to get a one-year sentence. Nice job buddy.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Nice Spaghetti Oh's Reference Buzz. On a very rare occasion you humor balances out your obesity.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Lunch: Hamburger with everything, unsweet tea.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Way to tie it all together, Bob.
joe (nm)
Beer and Tim's leftover wings.
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
No I didn't. No -O's. Just spaghetti.
Scott (Brewtown)
Have a swell Thursday everbody!
JB (TX)
Speaking of annoying office people, our safety guy is wearing a leather vest today. I think he thinks he's in the old west or something...
mitchel (houston)
No Buzz, it wasn't his faith that kept his head up, it was his paycheck.
Cory (PA)
Have a good day Morning Buzzers! And remember, the only wrong choice is the one you don't make. That and the ones that go horribly awry.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Agreed, Peter. Now I understand that players have faith and that's fine, but do you really think the man upstairs is picking out favorites?
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
And we're done here. Excellent work today folks. Thanks for stopping by. We'll be back again tomorrow. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Zach Rastall (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Well I don't know if I'll be here tomorrow, but today was fun. And for old time's sake, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Brian and Buzz!
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Have a good one MBers. At least the Rockies loss to the Phils is looking a little better today.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
JB, is he removing his office door to replace it by those old western saloon doors?
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Leather Vest? You work with Aladdin?
Zack (Louisville, KY)
It is Texas, JB.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Everyone have a nice Thursday. Bye y'all.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Boo Rastall
Matt (IN)
Let Lidge credit whomever he wants. I don't care what Lidge believes in. Neither should you.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
So many tests, so little time. Later.
Alex (Littleton, CO)
Boooooooooooooooooooooo Rastall.
