Goooooooood morning!

Jack (Toronto)

Frank'n beans!

Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

Classic.

Bob (Lowell)

TGIF, or as it's known in Canada...Saturday.

J.B. (Dunmore)

Greetings fellow MB chatters. The weekend is just about here. I am shutting the phones off for the next 60 minutes.

Nate (Madison)

Morning all. Cheers, salute.

Jamar (VA)

I know I'm kind of late but I keep seeing the news about the SEC refs but what about the guys who reffed the GT vs VT game. When the ref spun the ball towards the first down marker to give GT a first down late in the forth quarter. I think that was ten times worst then what the SEC refs did. WHO DOES THAT???

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Starting today's chat with Nirvana's "Drain You."

Josh Gerber (LeRoy, New York)

on the subject of philly losing to oakland..should they use vick more, wildcat? (1 rush, -4 yards)..the division and schedule dont get any easier, especially after last sunday..

Scott (Brewtown)

So, based on your comment below, George Wendt basically had a beerpourri? Or was it a beeratuli?

Christian (High Point, NC)

You ever have one of those days when you're having one of those days and then you're like Oh @!$# It's Only 10am? TGIMB!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Stanley had some great background moments in The Office last night.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

Agreed.

Marc (Charlotte)

Maybe my expectations for the Tar Heels are just too high

New York Yankees (Bronx)

2009, I'd like you to meet 2004.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Read the transcript from the George Wendt chat. Looks like I missed a good one although it being about beer, I wouldn't have had much to contribute anyway.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

What the hell is this? Sports talk right off the bat?

Matt (IN)

Good morning. I see a drunk guy wandering around in the outfield fountain.

Nate (Madison)

The seats in my car go ALL the way down.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I loved Jim's bleeped out response when Michael answered what kind of car Pam's mom drove.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Rain and fog here in Chicago for the morning rush. So how is your morning?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Let's not talk about beer, I can't have one til 5.

Ogre (Adams College)

I can't believe my brother Ogre2 is a NERD!!

Clay (VA)

Can the broncos pull off the undefeated season? Do they have the talent???

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

You're not serious, right?

stephanie (cincy)

Easy Josh. We talk some sports too.

Matt (IN)

Josh, personally I think they need to have Asante Samuel line up in the slot, Vick out wide and Westbrook under center.

Philadelphia Phillies (Philly)

We have no chance, we have no chance, we have no chance, we have no chance.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Buzz, you seem tense. Do you want me to give you chills?

David (Ottawa)

As always, please no talk of The Office...stupid practice on thursday nights killing my TV schedule...thank god for DVR

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Bzzzzzzzzt. Wrong answer.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think "The Office" is off to a strong start. Loved the whole duck/pen surveillance thing last night.

Jack (Toronto)

Does Stephanie keep a man pillow that looks like Daniel Craig?

Marc (Charlotte)

Crazy post of the day goes to Clay (VA) and its only 10:06.

Marc (Charlotte)

I wasn't planning on drinking tonight, but after last nights game I think I'll change my mind.

Scott (Brewtown)

Buzz is too tense. He's a tepee and a wigwam!

Dave (vt)

I have whats left of a 12 pack of sam adams seasonal sampler sitting in the fridge and im leaving in 30 mins.

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

You have leftovers from a 12 pack?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Wow, It just started to pour rain.

Christian (High Point, NC)

So Hulu is going to start charging for some services next year. I may finally have to start torrenting.

David (Ottawa)

Although I think by asking the MB not to talk about it, it`s going to get spoiled.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Brainfart. What was the name of the female ogre in shrek?

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

Princess.

Neal (Philly)

Vick needs to be on special teams. Punt returns, kickoffs.

Marc (Charlotte)

Wait a second. So not only does David's intermural league allow trades, but they have practices too?

Travis (Columbus, OH)

Mornin' Buzz. Fried chicken for breakfast: awesome, or insanely awesome?

Dave (vt)

It was a thursday buzz give me a break.

George Wendt (via mobile)

People who have leftovers from a 12 pack need to get lives.

Jonathan Simon (Lafayette, la)

This message is for skip do you think the Yankees should have gone after Halliday instead of Burnett. I think he was a much better fit even Burnett had a good season Halliday to me is a better pitcher and Yanks wins in four with him.

Scott (Brewtown)

Crazy post of the day can never be awarded prior to the opening of the ONB. Please consult the MB manual, section 3 paragraph 4.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Fiona.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Clinton: Fiona

Matt (IN)

Fiona.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

It might be Fiona.

Mike Nunn Bronx, NY [via mobile]

Joe Toree would of went for the kill and brought in Rivera at the top of the 7th. Joba or Hughes could of then pitched the 9th with a two run cushion. Why bring in Burnett who couldn't get anybody out, then compund that by bringing in Marte?! I just don't get it.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Rivera's not coming in in the 7th.

Matt (IN)

Hey 2 name guy, you're in the wrong room.

Dave (vt)

Clinton you had it right, it was Brainfart.

Ryan (San Diego)

Hulu can pound sand if they think I'm paying for that

Brian (Madison, WI)

Both games started out really crappy so I kind of lost interest and then all of a sudden they both got good at the same time and I was caught flipping back and forth.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Scott: The ONB has it's own categories.

Matt (IN)

Fact: Everyone who answered Clinton's question has kids.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I liked when Jim attempted to imitate Michael when Pam went off on him. Classic.

David (Ottawa)

Marc: Not my intermural league that does practice...is it possible I play real basketball and fun basketball? Apperently...

Greg (Ellicott City)

Sorry I'm late Buzz. It will happen again.

Marc (Charlotte)

Scott, please consult Section 6 paragrah 2. ONB posts can not be counted towards crazy posts of the day.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I think Girardi should have started the 7th with Joba, then went Hughes and Mo but the guy is the manager and won 103 games this year so who am I to tell him what to do?

Brian (Madison, WI)

I wonder how Yankees fans are going to blame the umps or Girardi for Phil Hughes performance last night?

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Oh definitely Girardi. They're already jumping on him for the other game. Just adding fuel to the fire.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Harrah's in Metropolis, Is giving $1000 for best Halloween costume. I may try my luck.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Scott needs to read the rest of section 3. *Nominations* can be made at any point during the chat.

Bob (Lowell)

Imagine that, Brian flipping back and forth.

Jack (Toronto)

Creed getting weepy when Jim started playing opera musice was a bit of a surprise.

Scott (Brewtown)

Sorry, I was reading the 2006 manual. My bad.

Matt (IN)

I like what Girardi did last night just fine.

Nate (Madison)

David, probably not. Most college coaches wouldn't allow you to play intramurals out of the risk of injury/etc, and high schools don't let you play in rec leagues if you are on the official high school team.

George Steinbrenner (New York)

I'll tell Girardi what he should do! Now send in Costanza!

Ryan (San Diego)

They are going to choke so bad. Everyone is just gonna be talking about how they blew that game and then 2004 all over again

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

Homey don't think so.

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

I like how Colin Cowherd's show is in Columbus and everyone they show in the crowd already has a beer in their hands.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Great reference Buzz.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I call shenanigans on Scott, as there was no ONB in 2006, therefore the manual can't claim anything about it.

Pete (NC)

I think all Office talk on Fridays should have *OFFICE* starting the post so we who DVR'd it can avoid reading the post.

Nate (Madison)

But then again you are from Canada so who knows what crazy rules you have.

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

BTW, 1) why does everyone care when Bobby Bowden retires? MMCXII) why is Bobby Bowden so damn stubborn and keeping this story alive and just announce when he's going to retire?

Travis (Columbus, OH)

Oh snap, I forgot Cowherd was at Martini Park... oh well, I don't want to be that loser that shows up by himself. I'll stay here with you Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

Bring your laptop with you and bring us all with.

Pete (NC)

Disregard my previous post. I just called the whambulance on myself.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Or you people who DVR it could just watch it before the chat. How's that for a solution?

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

Or stay up late and watch it when you get home. It's called dedication.

Matt (IN)

You forgot to bop him over the head though, Buzz

Dave (vt)

Hey Ryan, whats the word on LT, is he going to be out this week with the flu. I sure hope so.

Homey The Clown (Near Buzz)

(Hitting Buzz with a sock) It's Homey don't play that!

David (Ottawa)

Nate: Graduated college last yer, and my coach did let me play for an intermural team during the season...maybe it's a canada thing....either way, there are many many many more semi pro leagues then you think.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm pretty sure looking back Girardi wouldn't have put Hughes in the game if he knew he was going to pitch like Rastall. I love how fans act like they would be the greatest managers ever after the game is over.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

My guess is that he doesn't know himself. He might bne afraid that if he gives a date, he won't be able to change his mind

John (Lexington, KY)

Still drunk from $10 all you can drink last night. Went to my law class and definitely heckled someone for giving a stupid answer. Good or bad? Im undecided

Ryan (San Diego)

I had a beer last week at 8 am at a bar for the OU/Texas game. In fact, a lot of people did. I felt like Nate

Christian (High Point, NC)

Wow, Buzz with the "Post most resembling an ONB post" entry.

Nate (Madison)

XXII. I could careless what Bowden does.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz: Only the PSU fans (like me) care when Bowden retires. Joe Pa deserves to hold that record.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

It's the best way for FSU to get press right now?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Got my new TV going yesterday. DVR arrives Nov. 1st. Someone will have to tell me how to use it!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I think with the Office spoilers aren't that big of a deal. It's not like you're finding out something groundbreaking like you would on a show like Lost or 24. It's still gonna be funny.

Jack (Toronto)

Buzz going all early 90s on us. Is it zubaz Friday too?

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

It's Zubaz Everyday.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I think Florida St's problem is they have about 17 different head voices. They have a head coach, 14 assistant head coaches, and a head coach in waiting. The players are probably more confused about who their coach is than they are about play calls or what tutor is going to take a test for them....I mean.....umm....

stephanie (cincy)

When was cowherd in Columbus?

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Maintenant.

Nate (Madison)

Brian is a Florida State fan, he's biased

Greg (Ellicott City)

Spoiler alert: its Friday.

Jay (NY)

Is it sad that I'm excited to be at the MB for the first time in 4 months. I think it is.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Never.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Never heckle another student in law school classes. You'll be the next one giving the horrible answer, John. Trust me.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Hey if you can't perform with some hecklers, how are you going to be able to handle performing in court?

Christian (High Point, NC)

+5 points for using French, but -10 for not putting it in italics, Buzz.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Is that like too many Chiefs and not enough Indians?

Nate (Madison)

It's a lot harder for me to get up and start the early benders at my ripe old age. Years ago for Badger games we'd wake each other up at 730-800 with loud music and firing a beer at them in bed.

Jay (NY)

I could never be a lawyer as I truly believe I am above the law.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Yeah, I don't think I would have put up with another student heckling me for my answer. A professor, well that happens when you go out the night before instead of reading for class.

Jack (Toronto)

Brian is a Florida State fan? Why am I not surprised.

Jack (Toronto)

Why was Nate firing beer cans at badgers?

Jay (NY)

Did real RGR ever come back or did he go back to his home planet?

Matt (IN)

Is it "you'll be the next one giving the wrong answer" or is it "You may find yourself working for that guy one day"?

Ben (NC)

Which is worse? Being a buckeye fan, a gator fan or a wolverine fan. Keep steph out of the discussion, cause no knives allowed.

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

How are any of those being "worse," as long as we're leaving out the extremes?

JB (TX)

It's 90s Friday? Wish I knew, I would have worn my Hypercolor shirt or my Z. Cavarricci pants.

Steven Seagel (Hollywood)

Did someone just say, Above The Law?

John (Lexington, KY)

Well, it was my buddy who went to the bar and paid $10 for all you can drink while having a total of two drinks. He deserved it, but Im still not sure why I thought it was a good idea

Scott (Brewtown)

Tomorrow's the 9th annual Scott(Brewtown) halloween party, which means tonight I get to go to the local liquor store and become appx 5-600 dollars lighter in the wallet.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Geez. Who are you inviting over Maurice Clarett?

Brian (Madison, WI)

We've been over who I am a fan of and what teams I dislike.

Rich (Douglas AK)

Another lame duck leading in DC, I kinda liked Zorn as a coach. We'll see if the Bingo caller can call plays like he can call number and letters.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I just had a flashback. If you weren't the first or second one up for Badger games those beers hitting you and waking you up didn't feel too good.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I got heckled one time in law school. The twist . . . I gave the right answer, so the professor let the other student have it. Never got heckled again.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz it looks like that new office for Jim was just an addition and it was and never will be elaborated upon. Not really relevant to the show anyway.

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

Not relevant, I just don't know where the space came from. They're not on the ground floor, so they couldn't go out. Did they build in? If so, what was in that space before?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Maurice gotta get his Goose on!

Nate (Madison)

$500-600 in booze? I'm shocked and intrigued.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Scott is going to spend between $5 and $600 at the liquor store?

Christian (High Point, NC)

An SEC fan is always worse, because of the ridiculous conference homerism.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who use French need to get lives

Inquiring Minds (Jim's Office)

I want to know!

Brian (Madison, WI)

Buzz you actually thought that Nate and myself were the only drunks in Wisconsin? Most of us are.

Christian (High Point, NC)

When Sherm Lewis did call plays, he was horrible. Don't expect an improvement on the Bingo.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Brian's party is actually BYOB. That is all for him.

John (Lexington, KY)

I usually sit in silence and dream about the MB while in my 9 a.m. class so it was a new experience.

Tarheels (UNC)

They are who we thought they were.......

Greg (NY)

Can't get into the Office. I can't find the humor.

Scott (Brewtown)

We usually have about 50 people over and on top of that my normal supply of booze is quite low.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

That was a low blow with the Clarett comment Buzz. Funny and true but low.

Matt Damon (The Office)

I'm going to date LadyBuzz even harder.

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

Pam freaking out last night was strange, yet kinda funny.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

Although, my criticism of this season continued, now that they were back from their honeymoon. Since their engagement/wedding/baby, the show is sort of becoming more of the Jim and Pam show. It's a lot funnier when it's more of an ensemble show or they feature different people in different episodes.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

The various looks on Pam's face as she realized that Michael was with her mom were priceless.

Fake Nate and Brian (Madison)

$500-600 in booze? We're already in the car...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We need to see a floor plan of the Dunder-Mifflin offices before and after Jim's office.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I have to to work Damn! Monday I will have added another year to my age. Damn again!

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

Ahhhhh, I see now. Scott (Brewtown) is throwing Robbi (Clinton, KY) a birthday bash.

stephanie (cincy)

Sorry I am late Buzz, but I see fake steph has been here. Why the need to post as me?

Dave (Tallahassee, FL)

Bobby can do whatever he wants, he's a living legend. I'm sick of the media talking sh-- about him. They should support him because we will never see the kind of race like what he and Paterno had going. There are no coaches anywhere close to either one of them in wins. Shame on NCAA for ruining perhaps the best race in our lifetime. They both beat Bear Bryant, stew on that one.

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

The "race" hasn't been much of one for a while. Now they're just waiting for the other to retire, with assistants really running the team, so they can claim the most wins.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

That whole candy/receptionist girl thing was weird, I thought. I wondered if I had missed something earlier in the season.

Nate (Madison)

Thanks Dave, my eyes are burning.

Frosty the Snowman (Upnorth)

Happpy Birthday! Robbi!

Santa (North Pole)

62 shopping days left.

Nate (Madison)

I agree, I got a little tired of Pam overreacting.

Pete (NC)

People, it's Tar Heels. Two words. And if you thought they were a powerhouse defensive team until it really mattered with an offense that can't pass because of an inept QB, then you thought correctly.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Give it time, Buzz. I think we'll get more of the ensemble cast involved later in the season.

Marc (Charlotte)

I love how people are claiming dook's resurgence after they signed one recruit. As if they haven't been signing top 10 players the last 5 years. They just sign players who aren't good or who they can't develop..... Yep, I'll call the whambulance on myself.

Jay (NY)

I forget, is Stephanie the cougar, the one who sleeps in restrooms or the one who's really a guy posting as a girl?

Brett Favre (Minnesota)

I like the cut of Dave (Tallahassee)'s jib.

Nate (Madison)

My Lamar Odom Syndrome kicked in, was craving some kind of candy for some reason and had to give in. Nothing like a few Sour Patch Kids at 9:30am.

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

If your Lamar Odom Syndrome really kicked in, you would have eaten the whole bag, in addition to the bag of M+M's and Skittles.

John (Lexington, KY)

Kinda hard to make that claim when Bobby has to ask his water boy what is going on in during the game. Senile? yup

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

The NCAA should not punish FSU because of a career win race? It would be a dumb point if we weren't used to NCAA going against simple logic

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

Yes, I'd like 1,000 chicken fajitas please...

stephanie (cincy)

I am neither a cougar nor have I ever slept in a restroom

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm a Florida St fan, but don't blame the media Dave! Is it the media's fault that the Noles keep losing? Is it the media's fault that they almost lost to Jacksonville St? If he was winning this wouldn't be an issue.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Anyone else find the new receptionist a welcome addition to the show?

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

She's been pretty good so far. They haven't tried to use her too much, just let her into the background and give her good stuff when needed.

Scott (Brewtown)

I'll do a toast for Robbi of the MB at the party. If I do post 11pm, everyone will be too drunk to figure it out anyway and they will all cheer wildly.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lamar Odom is a joke. I heard that he compared himself and that Kardashian woman to royalty.

Bob (Lowell)

The rest room sleeper was Liz, Big Apple.

Ben (NC)

stephanie is the violent one with severe anger management issues.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Pam was the cougar, Liz was the one who sleeps in the restrooms, Kate was the guy posting as a girl. Stephanie is the one who stabs people and lets them bleed out on the floor.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

I guess there might be multiple state in Lamar Odom syndrome. Lamar himself being the last one. In its last symptoms, you end up marrying reality TV stars

fred (omaha)

scott i am riding over with nate and brian, cant wait to get there

John (Lexington, KY)

Of course they'll have kids. It's what Kings and Queens do

The Suits (Bristol)

Buzz, you ought to take a cue from that receptionist.

Marc (Charlotte)

ONB.

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

Let's do it.....

Scott (Milwaukee)

who do You think will have a better day on sunday brett favre or ben rothlesburger

The Pulse (via mobile)

Buzz I am "disappointed and hurt" by your book.

Jerrod (Indiana)

Why does the league let the Yankees buy a championship?

Tom Cable (via mobile)

Man, I'm so relieved to not be charged, I think I need to punch somebody.

Mike Nunn Bronx, NY [via mobile]

Is it me, or did Girardi overmanage game 5? Joe Toree would of went for the kill and brought in Rivera at the top of the 7th instead of Burnett who clearly wasn't shutting down anybody. Hughes or Joba then could of piched the 9th with a two run cushion. But why let Burnett pitch, then bring in Marte?? I just dont get it!

Nate (Madison)

Angels in 7. Beer is on me.

Carl (Chicago)

Can't make it today for my daily rant about the injustice of this chat. I am sure by now Clintin has 15 to 20 inane posts.

Ben (CT)

I am a huge gaints fan, but the saints are owning this season. shoud I be wooried?

RAY GORDON REID ( MIAMI FLA 33124)

MY ONB AT 10.15 AM I/AM NBA MIAMI HEAT

Steve (NJ)

My "season of destiny" quote may have been a skosh premature.

Jimmy (Virginia)

im very sorry to say if the yankees lose this game tonite is all because of Girardi

Steve (NJ)

SEASON OF DESTINY. (feel free to rub that in my face if the Yanks choke against the Phils next week.)

The Suits (Bristol)

Buzzard due to your awful performance these past few chats we've decided to bring back The Pulse when the World Series starts. He's a veteran and won't miss the easy ones like you do.

Tom (Philadelphia, PA)

Why did almost every sports writer, outside of the Philadelphia area, (and on ESPN) choose the Dodgers to beat the Phillies? Does everyone have something against Philadelphia? I won't be surprised when the same sports writers who picked the Dodgers over the Phillies will be picking the Yankees to win the World Series.

Jeff (Madison,WI)

You know why Baseball is falling in popularity cause its not playing on an even field like the NFL OR NHL. In those leagues the teams all are playing with the same resources.They might as well just have a league of 6 to 8 teams and go hog wild spending on 200 players.

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

And that's it....

Tom (Lakeview)

Stephanie is the one that hates cash bars, Michigan Wolverines, and stabs people.

stephanie (cincy)

And co-workers who don't wipe up coffee spills

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

Reason #1 to live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama... On Halloween last year, there were a group of girls that dressed up as the Victoria Secret Models. They wore thongs, bra's and had the wings...

Pete (NC)

Hmm, that Bronx ONB post felt very familiar.

Jim (Del)

What ever happened to Kate and Liz?

Steve (NJ)

Sorry I'm late, had a meeting. But I brought donuts.

Nate (Madison)

A. Yankees lose, OF COURSE it's the coaches fault.*** B. Imposters are now hitting me up in the ONB, just great.

Stupid Yankee Fans (Everywhere)

Girardi should have brought CC in the 7th to shut down the Angels!

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

I hope Jeff (Madison) did not think he's the first one to find that out.

Scott (Brewtown)

There's more than one Scott in Milwaukee? Who knew?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

That's just what this chat needs, a new ONB poster from Madison.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I'm think every college town has girls that do that, Robert.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I thought Liz (Big Apple) didn't sleep in restrooms until she transformed into Liz (Charlotte)?

Father Time (Detroit)

RIP Soupy Sales

Buzz (Bristol)

I'm a HUGE poptarts fan. Should I be concerned with toaster strudel?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Jujubees are my candy of choice these days. Only about two calories per piece and I can't eat more than 15-20 a day.

Tom (Lakeview)

Stephanie is the one that hates cash bars, Michigan Wolverines, and stabs people.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Nope, Christian, that's where she lived in NYC: the public toilet.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

I'm a hockey fan, but I do not think MLB popularity and NHL belong in the same sentence.

Ryan (San Diego)

Is this a MB debriefing?

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who think they can list one good reason why anyone should live in Tuscaloosa need to get lives.

Steve (NJ)

Yanks lost because John Lackey was very good last night, and AJ Burnett wasn't. Simple.

Jay (NY)

That would be a disgusting show. CSI: NYC Public Toilet.

Christian (High Point, NC)

So for the first time in 8 months (after a 3-month bender), I played a little World of Warcraft last night. I blame my sponsor.

Dan Akroyd (Dragnet)

Just the facts Ryan.

Bob (Lowell)

I don't know what suprised me more, hearing that Soupy Sales died or finding out that up until yesterday he was still alive, but he was a classic.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Last night I was on Facebook and had a girl I've met 3 times send me a little instant message saying it was good to see I was alive because she had a dream I died. I was just like what the hell.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

She was obviously flirting with you.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Booooo Rastal!!!

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who play world of warcraft...do I even need to say it?

Christian (High Point, NC)

The Yanks lost. The "why" is meaningless. All that matters is the W and the L.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

That's kinda Zen.

Phil Jackson (LA)

Did someone say Zen? I am the master.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Buzz, whatcha drinkin tonight?

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

Nadda. Driving to visit Momma and PoppaBuzz tonight. BrotherBuzz will be in town, so we'll be going out Saturday night.

Jay (NY)

I hate it when my Soupy gets cold.

Pete Carroll (So Cal)

I am the Zen master Phil

Stevee (NJ)

It's Aykroyd, fake Aykroyd.

Pete (NC)

The blogosphere would beg to differ with you, Christian.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Is it always strawberry pop tarts, Buzz? What flavors do you have in the pop tart bullpen?

Buzzmaster

S'mores. Cherry. Strawberry. Hot chocolate. The apple are good, but just once in a while. Blueberry are all right. Oh, the Strawberry Shake are decent, especially frozen.

Buzz brothers (Out on the town)

We are two wild and crazy guyssssssss

fred (omaha)

i'll see you saturday, buzz. the zimas will be flowing!

Marc (Charlotte)

If you are going to state that girls in Tuscaloosa dressed up as Vikki's secret models, you need to have pictures as proof.

Ryan (San Diego)

Then why do we even watch? Just look at the box score to see who W'd and who L'd

Christian (High Point, NC)

The blogosphere has this bizarre belief that any of the people who need to adjust after a loss actually cares what they think. You might as well shout at the wind that the leaves falling down in waves isn't very efficient for raking purposes.

Steve (NJ)

Buzz, I realize this is a whine, but I can't believe I got shut out of Wendt chat. I figured my question on your girth, on a scale from 'one to Drew Carey' was a sure-fire conversation starter. I will now wait patiently for the whaaambulance.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

No, actually that was horrible and I wasn't going to waste one moment of our chat on it. If we had unlimited time, perhaps.

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

You forgot fudge sundae as well...

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Yes, that one too.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Ah how nice. A Buzzunion.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Wow, I actually agree with Ryan. Sign of the apocalypse.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Blueberry is the best, no othere hold a candle

JimmyBob (Tuscaloosa)

Which of you all is comin here for hallowene

Ryan (San Diego)

I'm not old enough to appreciate Bill Wendt

Drew Brees (LA)

We're going undefeated guys.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Because there's Drama in the resolution of the W and the L, Ryan. It's the review afterwards that is meaningless except for the participants.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Fred, dont forget to drop a jolly rancher in em, less harsh that way

Jim Tressel (Columbus)

People that whine about not getting posted on George Wendt's chat, I mean, they're just miserable.

Thin Lizzy (On a stage)

The Boys are back in Town!

Marc (Charlotte)

JimmyBob, we dont translate crazy here.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Ya, Wendt lost street cred, didnt answer one of my questions, booo Wendt

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Probably cuz your question was turrible too.

Steve (NJ)

Horrible...sure-fire conversation starter. Agree to disagree.

Judas Priest (forgotten)

Breakin the law! Breakin the law!

Ryan (San Diego)

Wouldn't the chat accomplish the starting of conversation?

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

at least im not fat

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

So says you.

Christian (High Point, NC)

There's no point to a "conversation starter" in a QandA session. Useful for the MB chat, but not for a celebrity interview chat.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People named Jim Tressel need to get a quarterback.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

touche'

Robert (Huntsville, Al)

The longer I work in a cube and in an enclosed environment, the more I understand why Monkey's throw poop...

Beavis (MTV)

Breakin the law, Breaking the law!!!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Being fat is all relative. For instance, compared to the circumference of the Earth, Buzz is not fat.

Pete (NC)

People named Rich Rodriguez need to get more W's before calling other people out. There, I said it.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

That was probably the best Rich Rod quote yet.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

In reading the transcript, the Wendt chat was a little different than I would have expected but in a good way.

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

He was a lot more quiet that I thought he would be. Though I don't know why I thought he wouldn't be quiet.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

buzz, do you really eat a box of pop tarts for breakfast, followed by a pie?

Earth (Solar System)

You're saying I'm fat? Here's two more weeks of rain for you!

Jack (Toronto)

Robert painting a lovely visual.

Jack (Toronto)

Tom, I agree. There's L.A. fat, and then there's Wisconsin fat.

Steve (NJ)

the more I read about it, the less-enthused I am about the 'V' reboot series. They're not going to make it about space-nazis rounding up 'the scientists' anymore. I like my sci-fi allegorical, dammit! And I want to be beaten over the head with it like it was back in the early 1980s when sub-text and subtlety were as alien to TV producers as the concept of not using stock footage of car flips!

Nate (Madison)

You're losing me.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Didn't Rich Rod try to get the same QB that Tressel has?

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

I'm waiting for the John Ratzenberger chat. Get on it buzz.

Ryan (San Diego)

Because you probably thought he was just like the Bears superfans from SNL

Scott (Brewtown)

Have to admit, my mind has gone blank since the poop post by Robert.

Iowa (Hawkeyes)

I cannot be beat. I am the best.

Brian (Madison, WI)

There's Wisconsin fat and then there is Mississippi fat.

Scott (Brewtown)

It's not fat in Wisconsin, it's horizontally gifted.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

God I hate 11:30 am football games. It makes for a very, very long day.

Tom (Lakeview)

Is it just me or are Steve's posts getting longer every day?

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

He's got a lot to say. And he needs to get it all in now, since he's getting married in a couple of months.

Ryan (San Diego)

I had some pumpkin pie last night and it was delicious. Topped with freshly whipped cream too

Life (TX)

I am what you MBer's need to get.

Nate (Madison)

Jack, look at the state rankings in obesity. There's L.A. fat and then there's Mississippi fat.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I agree with robert, cubes are prisons

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

Could be worse. Your "cube" could be that box down on the corner.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I would rather punch myself in the groin than get a life in Texas.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Well, Tom, Steve did say that he was voted most talkative in high school.

stephanie (cincy)

Rich Rod needs his QB's to stay instead of transferring to Arkansas

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Lunch: Vegetable soup and an apple.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Lunch chat! No clue. Maybe a lean pocket.

Internet Whiner Guy (Cyberspace)

Buzz this is ridiculous! Not only do you not post my comments, but you're hanging out this weekend without me!

Buzzmaster

  (10:51 AM)

Because no one likes you. You're Debbie Downer, like that unfunny skit from SNL.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Dont give me that crap buzz, the whole 'at least you have a job' BS

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

How bout UNC saving Bowdens career last night?

Robert's Boss (On phone)

SECURITY, get up here quick, some guy in a cube is throwing poop all over the place.

Department of Redundancy (Department)

"Unfunny skit from SNL" has its own filing cabinet in here.

Jay (NY)

Coming back to the MB today felt like a drunk hookup with an old girlfriend. I'm going to feel like crap in the morning aren't I?

Tom (Lakeview)

Lunch: Thai food

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: Enchiladas again (my wife made a large pan). They're still Outstanding work!

Nate (Madison)

A women here is talking about how she is monitering what her son listens to on his iPod. Saying she doesn't allow him to listen to certain things (sounds like rap music is the main cause) and how she goes on it and deletes things off. That's pure pulse.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

You know what we need, Buzz? We need a Gallo chat soon.

Buzzmaster

  (10:54 AM)

I was just thinking that yesterday. I'll have to get one set up for next week.

Steve (NJ)

Weeks, Buzz. Less than 3 weeks, actually.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: It's Friday. Going to have subway.

Ryan (San Diego)

Stupid friends collecting unemployment for a year, going out every night, sleeping in until noon. I should just give them part of my paycheck every week and save the trouble

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: Probably McDonald's dollar menu.

Jack (Toronto)

Tom, don't give your thai food to Robert in Huntsville.

Buzzmaster

  (10:55 AM)

That's right. Jack talk Thai. Jack talk Thai real good.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I have a 50% off coupon to Quiznos. Might have to take advantage of that.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

trying to control somebody Ipod is pointless, next thing she knows he'll have his rap music filed under Yanni greatest hits

stephanie (cincy)

Lunch: A Golden Gopher

Jay (NY)

Anyone who thinks music is the problem should be smacked in the face and then learn to be a better parent.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Lunch: being glad I dont live in a box, but not enough oney for food

joe (nm)

lunch: the tears of tom brady warmed over the burning body of goldy the gopher, with some farva beans.

Jimmy Clausen (South Bend (IN))

Is this where I pick up my Heisman?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Agreed, Jay. In fact, STRONGLY agreed, Jay.

Ben (NC)

Nate I did not know McDonalds was into serving beer.

Tom (Lakeview)

I don't share my Thai food, especially when it's excellent.

Bob (Lowell)

Where do you go to get food for oney?

Steve (NJ)

Bacon cheeseburger. Fries. Possibly beer.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

or a keyboard that works

stephanie (cincy)

I care as much about what my son's iPod has on it as my parents did about me listening to the Doors

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

No Jimmy, you pick that up in your dreams.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Gotta run, everyone have a great weekend!

Ben (NC)

My bad..I meant Brian

Tom (Lakeview)

There's a Coney Island coming in down the street. I'm very excited.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I just read Ryan's post about unemployed friends twice and still don't understand what he's saying. Why would you give your friends part of your paycheck while they were collecting unemployment and living off of my tax dollar? You would reward them for being system leeches who go out and get drunk every day? Please elaborate.

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

It was a joke. He was saying he should just give his friend part of his paycheck and save his friend from collecting unemployment....excuse me, I meant, his lazy, leech, reason-why-this-country-is-falling-apart friend.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

J.B. I think he means he should just quit his job, collect unemployment, and sleep until noon everyday because he gets money either way.

Nate (Madison)

But just because they go out and get drunk, doesn't mean they are not applying/looking for jobs during the day. (Speaking in a general sense, I obviously have no idea what his friends do)

Brian (Madison, WI)

If I could find a McDonald's that served beer, that would be fantastic.

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

Don't they in some European countries?

Marc (Charlotte)

Good chat week everyone. Remember, if you are pulling a Nate and Brian this weekend, be safe.

Pete (NC)

I love the part where people without kids try to talk about bad parenting.

JB (TX)

Lunch: getting the cute girl from marketing to take me to pick up my car from the shop, hopefully lunch w/her somewhere afterwards. Have a good weekend everyone. And Buzz, you're still fat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

Finally, your time in the Best Buy aisle paid off, I see.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Yes Buzz, they do.

Ryan (San Diego)

Buzz, you nailed it. Except make it plural...friend(s)

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Alright everybody, have a good weekend and do a lot of Nate and Brian's! That will come out wrong. Oh well.

Marc (Charlotte)

Going to interviews hungover is probably not the best way to get hired.

Scott (Brewtown)

Have a super swell weekend everybody!

Brian (Madison, WI)

Yeah I got a notice in mail at work saying that our unemployment rates would be going up in 2010. Thanks Captain Obvious!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good chat to wrap up the week, all. Have a great weekend. Plenty of good stuff to watch in sports. Stay safe and I'll catch you back here Monday. Peace.

Ryan (San Diego)

Nate, please. That is not happening. They are milking the free money until it runs out and they are forced to look for employment

Nate (Madison)

McD's in Europe serve beer. Well heading to Shedd's Aquarium tomorrow, sandwiched by a lot of homework this weekend. Saving the boozing for next weeks Halloween festivities. Everyone have a great weekend......Out

Buzzmaster

  (11:01 AM)

All right, we're done here. TGIF! We'll be back on Monday. Thanks for stopping by this week. Until later, stay classy SportsNation!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh yeah, and thanks for clarifying Ryan's post for me, Buzz. I now enter my weekend just a bit less peeved at the drunken leeches.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Tell your hot girlfriends to do a lot of Nate and Brians! Agh I got scared there.

fred (omaha)

lunch is some beef jerky that im going to eat in the car on the ride to scotts house, wish you could come too buzz

Jane Curtain (NY)

Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow!

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm saving my pulling a Nate and Brian until tomorrow night. Surprisingly having a night in tonight and all I get is Rutgers vs. Army.

Tom (Lakeview)

Wait, Nate is coming to Chicago? Lock the doors and hide the children!

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

The weekend is here folks...try to get a life while you're away
