  (10:01 AM)

Gooooooooooood morning!

Jon (California, MD)

Good Morning Buzz, and SN! My Washington Wizards are undefeated! I'm PUMPED!

fred (omaha)

buzz obviously the team doesnt need lady buzz, i will still come with you this weekend though

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, people! Hope everyone's having a good day so far!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Starting today's MB with Radiohead, a song from Hail to the Thief.

stephanie (cincy)

Good morning buzz. Keep the faith and it will set you free.

Lou (Bronx)

Good morning

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, do you use crystal meth to get through the MB?

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

Among other things.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good morning, Buzz Nation. Heading to a VIP party tonight for Game 1 of the World Series. Free wings, free soda and door prizes. Should be fun. Let's start THIS party.

Steve (NJ)

So, basically, you're saying that LadyBuzz proves Simmons' Ewing Theory? No wonder she's got Matt Damon and Jacoby Ellsbury, and that androgynous waifboy from 'Twilight' on her mind.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

We'll find out this weekend when she's back in action. It could have also just been the soft part of the schedule. I think one of those games was against a winless opponent.

Matt (IN)

Good morning all. Sad news around here yesterday. A good friend and coworker of mine, his sister was murdered yesterday over a custody dispute. Sad.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

What?? That sounds pretty fricked up.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Did the NBA open last night? I forgot to mark it on my calendar.

Lou (Bronx)

yanks in 4

Scott (Brewtown)

Mornin' Buzz.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Happy Wednesday Buzz. Boo Rastall.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Holy crap, Matt. Sorry to hear that.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

I used to love to hate the NY teams, but ever since Boston started winning it's been way easier to hate Boston.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I think it's funny how Buzz pretends he has a desk.

Scott (Brewtown)

Google Adam Lambert new album cover, that is one creepy dude.

LadyBuzz's Kickball Team (Bristol)

LadyBuzz is coming this week? Well there goes our chance of extending our winning streak.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Yeah, I couldn't believe New York was leading that poll. Must be all the anti-Yankees sentiment currently.

Don (Michigan)

Any ideas on who Bart Scott might be talking about when he accuses "some Miami O-Lineman" of playing dirty in their last game?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Oh Matt, That's terrible. I'm so sorry.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, once again you've assembled a quality Wednesday chat lineup.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

That is a tough thing to deal with, Matt. My prayers to that family today.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Buzz's desk = his giant belly. You know, because hes fat.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

So far North Dakota and New Hampshire are the only two states that have more people who regularly disobey their boss than obey their boss . . . In other news, ND and NH are the most honest states.

Justin (PA)

Hey heard you had a problem with my 3rd cousin last week from lock haven. I demand an explanation!

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Chances are, he was a tool.

Matt (IN)

Yeah, I don't want to bring everyone down, but apparently she went to her inlaws house to pick up the kid and the soon to be ex shot her twice in the chest. That's all I'm gonna say about it. Let's have a good chat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Wow.

David (Ottawa)

Gilber Arenas is a good basketball player.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

What are the odds that VY starts for the Titans this weekend seeing that ownership would 'like to see it?'

Ben (NC )

I used to love to hate NY teams but since Boston started winning, oh wait I still love to hate NY teams.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Condolences, Matt. That sucks. And that's why I avoided any job openings that listed Family Law as one of the practice areas.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Yes, kudos on the chat lineup. A little something for almost anyone.

Clay (Charlotte)

Good Morning ladies, gentlemen, Buzz.

Clay (Hillsdale, MI)

Good morning all

Nate (Madison)

Only a few more days til Favre gets whats coming to him.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I don't disobey my boss regularly because he doesn't regularly tell me what to do.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Tonight starts the new season of Friday Night Lights. Will we be allow to talk about it, because some people won't get it yet?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Oh yeah. I totally forgot about that. I am not sure I finished catching up on last season's episodes....actually, I think that was one of the shows I was having a hard time finding more than the previous six episdoes online.

Lou (Bronx)

the yanks bullpen didnt live to the hype, but the yanks still made it to the series

Justin (PA)

Well? Where's your explanation for your coldness Buzz? I want an explanation and so does my 3rd cousin!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Chances are he was a tool, as you are also close to becoming.

Marc (Charlotte)

Negative Ghostrider. No FNL talk since those without Direct TV can't watch until '10.

Jon (California, MD)

Buzz, are you pumped that it's basketball season?

Ben (NC )

And so it starts Nate.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

It's interesting how the analogy has been updated over the years from "Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for U.S. Steel" to IBM or Microsoft. The latest one I heard was "like rooting for the house in blackjack."

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Wait, Gilbert Arenas has a brother that can play hoops too?

stephanie (cincy)

Nice. I log on to the MB at 10:05 and see my impostor has been here already. Seriously, why do this? I don't get it.

David (Ottawa)

Favre is my starting QB...the only thing coming to him is lots of fantasy points.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

The firm I clerked had one attorney who ONLY did family law. I don't know how he stayed sane, reading some of the depositions and affidavits in those cases....

Marc (Charlotte)

Anyone have any Good, relatively inexpensive Halloween costume ideas? I can't justify spending a bunch of money on something I'll wear once.

Clay (Charlotte)

I'm tired of playing grown up, I wanna take my toys and go home.

Andre Agassi (Tennis)

Meth isn't the old drug I did.

David (Ottawa)

I`ve been waiting for a Thorpe chat for ages....I`ve been waiting for you, I knew you`d come...SHUMAN!!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

Ages, I know. October 7 was sooooooo long ago.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Justin is only "close" to becoming a tool? Our tool standards have risen that high?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

The Lakers easily dismantled the Clippers last night as a prelude to what looks like another Laker title.

Matt (IN)

I did see that if there is anything Shaq has brought with him to Cleveland, it is his poor free throw shooting.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Ok Nate,comma, what exactly does Favre have coming to him?

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

I had a soft spot for the Redsox, being a Cub fan and all, but ever since they won their true colors have emerged. They're twice as bad as Yankee fans now.

Jason (EC, MD)

Nice link Buzz.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Marc: Hobo is always an old classic.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Only a few more days until Nate gets what's coming to him. It's J.B. v Nate in MB FFL Sunday.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Yeah and Jeremy Mayfield didn't either.*

Steve (NJ)

I'm going to go ahead and add Neal Stephenson's 'Anathem' to the Morning Buzz bookclub recommendations. WARNING: if you hate philosophy of science and physics, you may not like this book.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

A friend of mine in law school attended a Halloween party in a Santa hat, explaining that he was dressed as someone who thought he was going to a Christmas party. I repeatedly corrected that he was dressed as someone who was too cheap to assemble a real costume.

Nate (Madison)

Clinton, they played the Clippers.......the Clippers.

Neal (Philly)

Sorry I'm late. My boss has me doing the work that should be done by the braindead branch.

stephanie (cincy)

So I can blame Agassi for me having to show my ID when I want to buy Sudafed?

Nate (Madison)

Robbi, I have no idea. I didn't post that. But he does have a loss coming.

Ernest (San Antonio, TX)

Are the ducks gonna beat the trojans this weekend?

Scott (Brewtown)

WARNING: if you hate philosophy of science and physics, you may not like this book. I am guessing that that would apply to the entire MB.

Ryan (San Diego)

Damn, Agassi was one of my top customers

Matt (IN)

One women here in the office was listening to an oldies station and they played...White Christmas. It is what, Oct 28th?

Clay (Charlotte)

No steph, but you can blame whoever made it for him...or you can blame Agassi for every sucky camera commercial you see.

Godish (Chicago)

I'm dressing up as Where's Waldo. I couldn't find the shirt, so I bought red duct tape and will apply that to a white long sleeve shirt that I have to make the stripes. It's not cheap, rather, creative.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Marc: Get one of those, "Hello my name is," stickers. Write, "Brian" or "Nate on it. When someone asks who you are say, "I'm Brian (Nate) and I'm an alcoholic."

Bing Crosby (Somewhere)

I'mmmmmm dreammmming of a whiiiiitttte christmaaaassssss.

stephanie (cincy)

No, USC already "lost to a team they should have beat"

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

One of the local Detroit FM stations starts playing nothing but Christmas music on November 1st.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Christmas music was made to torture.

JB (TX)

I'm confused on the Agassi thing. I thought rich people did cocaine and poor people did meth. Someone help me out. Ryan?

CAL (St. Paul, MN)

Buzz, all I can say is you better be more timely with the kickball updates, you slacker.

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

It's harder to get them when you're not at the game.

Burl Ives (North Pole)

Have a holly Jolly Christmas and in case you didn't hear, oh by golly have holly jolly christmas, this year!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I realize I'm in the minority in this, but I love Christmas music.

Cashier (Cincy)

No Mam. I do not need to see your ID for the Sudafed. I know your way over the age of 21....You can put it away now.

Steve (Dallas, TX)

Christmas celebration is starting early and early every year. I heard my first Christmas (holiday) commerical on the radio last week.

Ryan (San Diego)

Hey steph, name me a team in the top 5 that is going to go on the road and beat a team without their starting qb. And don't give me the it's Washington nonsense. They have played all the top opponents tough

Marc (Charlotte)

I could get a group of friends together and go as characters from the MB: Two drunks, a fat guy, a woman with a chefs hat and a knife, a bulked up ref, etc.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I like Christmas movies, music not as much.

Patrick ( Louisville )

Boo early Christmas stuff. Hooray Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I didn't know about the Agassi thing. He was one of my favorites. What happened?

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

He ignored Colin Cowherd's advice and did meth.

Buzz (ESPN)

Here's your kickball update: I'm fat.

Clay (Charlotte)

"Buzz...you slacker", isn't that redundant?

Jeremy (Boston)

JB....that is correct. Some guy name SLIM gave him it. Thus the connection to not being rich.

David (Ottawa)

Buzz, I tracked down your real name and your address...I'm going to egg you like no one has ever been egged on the weekend.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

Remind me to move my cardboard box before the weekend.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I love Christmas music too but not before Thanksgiving. We have two radio stations in our area that start the Christmas stuff on November 1st. Thankfully, ESPN radio is always there for me.

Steve (Dallas, TX)

Soon they are going to start Christmas (Holiday) ads right after Labor Day.

stephanie (cincy)

Ryan, once is a fluke. 4 years straight is a pattern.

Clay (Charlotte)

David, he'll just scrape the eggs off into a frying pan, it'll just make him happy...you know, cause he's fat.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

2009 Christmas Party = WhirlyBall

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

BrotherBuzz is coming to visit soon and we're going to the local WhirlyBall place.

Neal (Philly)

David, you're going to feed Buzz his breakfast.

fred (omaha)

david that is not cool man, quit being a creep

Nate (Madison)

At the Super Target has like 6 aisles for Hallloween right now, and there about 3 aisles of Christmas stuff right next to it ready to invade on November 1st.

Matt (IN)

So apparently Bob Knight got pissed at IU for sending his attorney a $75k check to settle the dispute situation he had with Ron Felling. I guess that means he's not gonna return for his HoF induction next weekend.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

First Christmas overwhelmed Thanksgiving, and now it's coming for Halloween. This aggression will not stand, man!

Lou (Bronx)

hey jay, 5.02 lifetime era for lee vs yankees

Jeremy (Boston)

Early Christmas music......reason to use your own Ipod.

Steve (NJ)

2 weeks ago I went to Macy's to pick up some luggage we'd registered for and someone had thoughtfully purchased for us...and not bothered to ship. When I got there, again 2 weeks ago, they were already playing Christmas music. I asked the clerk and he shrugged and said, 'I have no control over this.'

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Best Christmas movie of all time is Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase, classic!

Santa Claus (North Pole)

Not liking christmas music is unamerican

Ryan (San Diego)

Last year at Oregon State was really the only one, the year before that Booty had a broken thumb on his throwing hand and clearly was not right. But if we want to see the best teams, I think we can all agree that USC would whip Cincy, Boise, TCU, Iowa etc

Clay (Charlotte)

Clinton, turkeys and pumpkins are no match for elves with tools.

Steve (NJ)

I used to like Christmas music when it was only played around Christmas. I tolerated it showing up on the day after Thanksgiving. At this point, I get so tired of it by Thanksgiving I refuse to go anywhere near the malls from mid-November through the new year.

Patrick ( Louisville )

Be back in a sec, going to try to find out what whirlyball means

Nate (Madison)

I'm sorry but I am not going to see the Michael Jackson video in theaters nor will I rent it.

Chris (Pittsburgh, PA)

I was born in Connecticut and I am a huge Yankees fan but I moved to Philadelphia when I was 12 years old (I am now 24) and became a Phillies fan as well. Who do I root for in the World Series and Why?

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Who are you Brian (Madison)? You get one team. Pick one already.

Inigo Montoya (Miracle Max's)

Humiliations galore!!!

David (Ottawa)

So I have a friend who just told me he is going to a wedding on the weekend, and that the bride and groom is asking everyone to dress up. He wants to go (with his gf) as the bride and groom, divorced, 10 years down the road.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I'm with you, Patrick. No idea what WhirlyBall is, but don't care enough to look it up before the end of the chat.

Nate (Madison)

This is bad but I still laughed. During that whole Bubble Boy issue, someone on Facebook had their status as: So glad they found the balloon boy...I was starting to think Michael Jackson ordered take-out from heaven

Patrick ( Louisville )

Do how is whirlyball different from Dave n Busters or Jillians? These places open, do well for a few years, and then go bankrupt. Rinse lather repeat.

JB (TX)

Worst Christmas movie: Fred Claus.

Neal (Philly)

And Chris now lives in Pittsburgh. He probably just became a Penguins and Steelers fan too.

Nate (Madison)

Let's warm up the BOOOOOOO machine for Chris.

Matt (IN)

Chris, root for the Pirates.

Scott (Brewtown)

Chris, root for theKansas City Royals.

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

Whirlyball is a team sport invented by Stan Mangum that combines elements of basketball and jai alai, or rather a combination of lacrosse and bumper cars, with the players riding "Whirlybugs", small electric vehicles similar to bumper cars. Because play requires a special court, it is played in only a handful of locations in the United States and Canada.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Nate: I just laughed too. What kind of beer do you think they serve in hell?

Clay (Charlotte)

Yeah, the only problem with that David is that they will have to explain to everyone what they are going as and will come off as jerks.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Dave and Busters is great. The one in Omaha has been around for quite a while.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Boo Rastal!!

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

WhirlyBall is a combo of LaCross and Bumper cars.

Viktor (Vegas)

Worst Christmas Movie: Die Hard

Patrick ( Louisville )

Best Christmas movie? DieHard

Ben (NC)

One question dave of ottawa. Cash or open bar?

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

No thank you? Well you're welcome Buzz, you fatty.

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

Shut up Grason.

stephanie (cincy)

Ryan, '06 UCLA 07 STANFORD '08 OSU '09 WU. Losing those games has kept or will keep USC out of the NCG. A hurt pinky doesn't justify losing to a 41 pt. underdog at home.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Clinton: They serve O'Douls in hell.

Nate (Madison)

Clinton, I'm guessing pee warm Old Style.

Clay (Charlotte)

Come on Buzz, I sent you the MJ joke a week ago and you didn't post it...I know, I know, whambulance...

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

If you say so.

David (Ottawa)

Whirlyball has been around for decades...think bumper cars meets basketball, but you have to use Jai-Lai gloves to score.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

What?! Die Hard does not belong on any "worst" list. Amazing movie. Even 2 is, as well.

Mark (Boston)

Best Xmas movie: Jingle All the Way with Ahhhhnold!

Z (NJ)

ELF!!

Marc (Charlotte)

Not back to the cash/open bar debate...

Steve (NJ)

Chris, you can go ahead and root for the Phillies; we don't need your kind. And by 'your kind' I mean 'sports bigamists,' and by 'sports bigamists' I mean 'Brian.'

JB (TX)

They don't serve beer in hell, they serve Zima.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

So there's no running in WhirlyBall? I am officially intrigued.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Actually, I'd prefer the USC talk to keep going rather than the bar debate...

Nate (Madison)

Deck The Halls was horrible as well.

Patrick ( Louisville )

In hell? Depends on which circle, but somewhere near the bottom only serves Bud Dry

Neal (Philly)

I don't want him either, Steve.

Marc (Charlotte)

That's why Buzz likes it Tom. No running, you know since Buzz is fat.

CAL (St. Paul, MN)

WhirlyBall sounds like one of those new sports you make fun of until you try it, then you think it is awesome.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Anyone who thinks Die Hard is a bad christmas movie hasn't seen Reindeer Games

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

They would definitely serve Miller Lite. Blech.

Nate (Madison)

I just looked up reasons you can't play Whirlyball....intoxication. Damn it.

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

The place here in CT allows you to bring your own beer and drink, as long as you're not in the bumper car.

Patrick ( Louisville )

The worst Xmas movie has be Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Do not watch that movie.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

No I think It's the beast.

Z (NJ)

hell = KEYSTONE LITE

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good call, Patrick. It makes perfect sense that the beers get worse and worse as you go down.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Seriously, though, best Christmas movie EVER = Christmas Story, duh!

Matt (IN)

Has anyone tried the Bud Light Golden Wheat? Just wondering.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Steve and Neal, you're going to have to play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock to find out who gets stuck with Chris.

David (Ottawa)

Whirlyball ranks up there with Paintball in terms of awesomeness

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

#2 for Christmas movies after Christmas Story = Bad Santa

Jason (Ellicott City, MD)

I have tried Golden Wheat and it is pretty decent. Think a less flavorful Blue Moon.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

The Golden Wheat is okay, nothing to write home about. A little like Blue Moon.

Andre Agassi (Roland Garros)

Can you plan Whirlyball on Meth?

Neal (Philly)

Buzz, do you have to drive a car with extra horsepower because you're fat?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I had never heard of this Whirlyball shenanigans, but now I am intrigued.

Marc (Charlotte)

So you can BYOB and drink, but not participate? So essentially, they allow spectators for whirlyball?

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

No, you BYOB, drink, play. You just can't bring your beer into the car. It might get a tad messy when you're in a bumper car with a beer.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

1. Christmas Story 2. Miracle on 34th Street. 3. Christmas Vacation.

Marc (Charlotte)

What about Home Alone as a quality Christmas flick.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

BYOB is underrated

Jeremy Mayfield (via mobile)

Andre: Yes.

Nate (Madison)

Buzz, I now agree with you on your senators sucking. Joe Lieberman is about as pulsey as you can get.

Buzzmaster

  (10:31 AM)

I ain't lying.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Even in bumper cars, there are still open container laws.

stephanie (cincy)

You can do anything on Meth except eat or sleep for 5 days

Clay (Charlotte)

A friend of mine in high school would play paintball with his dad (ex-special forces) and his buddies (also ex-special forces). He said there were some games he never fired a shot.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I wish you had not mentioned this Whirlyball thing, because I feel slighted, not having it.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Iowa has BYOB strip clubs. Classy places, let me tell you.

Clay (Charlotte)

Home Alone? Someone sold their soul to Satan to get the grosses up on that piece of pulse.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Clay, he probably never heard a sound either. Those dudes are pretty amazing.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

All right, I'm convinced. Immediately after the chat, I will look up the nearest WhirlyBall place. Now to figure out how to bill for it . . .

Marc (Charlotte)

Nate hates Joe Lieberman because he disagrees with him?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Doing Meth = no grocery bill.

Nate (Madison)

Clay...Dogma, nice.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Clay just reminded me of Dogma, where Salma Hayek plays a muse responsible for 19 out of the top 20 grossing films of all time. The one she wasn't responsible for? Home Alone.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Drinking allowed, just not in the bumper car. Think the movie Slap Shot, lots of fan taunting, keys in the players faces, teams jumping the boards to beat on spectators, as the other chatter said, awesomeness.

Andre Agassi (Tweeking)

It was a loosy, goosy, era back then.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

The cool thing about Meth addicts is that they always smell like they just got done cleaning windows with Windex.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I did a quick search and it looks like the nearest WhirlyBall to me is Chicago or the Chicago 'burbs. Pulse.

Ryan (San Diego)

Clay, those guys should get lives. I've seen them before, they are the ones all decked out with cammo and leaves on their helmet with a knife to cut through the shrubs and make a fort

Scott (Brewtown)

Strange how the females of this chat know so much about meth.

Ben (Tempe, AZ)

Is it bad that it is 7:30 and I'm craving Taco Bell?

Greg (Ellicott City)

Its official, Whirlyball will be played at the MB reunion.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

For real, I've seen people that were on that stuff hard. They really look like zombies.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Nate hates Lieberman because Lieberman, with all his "which party should I belong to?" nonsense reminds Nate of Brian.

Matt (IN)

Salma Hayek. Oh yes.

stephanie (cincy)

Doing Meth= no grocery bills, no teeth, no job, no trailer after it blows up from cooking the stuff, no kids (taken away). How good it that stuff anyway?

Nate (Madison)

Quite the coincidence, my class discussion tonight is on meth.

Buzzmaster

  (10:36 AM)

I like how you call your group therapy your "class."

Matt (IN)

The other day I went to the pharmacy and there was a lady in front of me in line who looked like someone who used meth. I was not surprised when she asked for sudafed. The funny thing is that she started this fake coughing, fake congestion thing too.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Absolutely not, Ben. I've wondered for a long time why Taco Bell doesn't do breakfast.

Steve (NJ)

We play no games here; Philly can have him. He lives in PA, so they have to take him.

Roger Clemens (via mobile)

Andre merely misremembered some of the details when he wrote his letter. It happens.

Math teacher (Madison)

Umm, Nate this is a math class, not meth class

Method Man (Staten Island)

Wow, this whole chat is about me? Awesome. Go rent 'How High' again, people!

Clay (Charlotte)

Nate, don't be ashamed that you are going to NA...the first step is to admit you have a problem.

Nate (Madison)

Lieberman bucks his party during the election then comes crawling back and reaps the benefits only to buck them again. No self respect.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

It was awesome. He lost in the Democratic primary a few years back and within a week, he's now an Independent, so he can get on the election ballot. Sorry dude, you lost. 1-800-GTOVRIT.

Marc (Charlotte)

Do you feel the same way about Arlen Specter, Nate?

Christian (High Point, NC)

I'm not sorry I'm late.

Big Mets Fan (State of Confusion)

so...do i go to a world series party and sulk...or just fake an illness (maybe swine flu)?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I'm also surprised that Wendy's hasn't tried out the breakfast market.

Pete (NYC)

Buzz you seem the one whining about your senator(s) The people of your state elected them. You have 3 choices, vote them out, deal with it or shut up.

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

That sentiment seems to be growing in this state.

Jeremy (Boston)

My old roommate used to buy the drunk on the corner a 40 all the time.....cause he got into a discussion with him one time, and the drunk told him about sometimes he had to drink listerine cause it had alcohol in it.............of course, my question to him...why you talking to the drunk at the corner....his answer, nobody else was up at 4 AM.

Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)

The swine flu is serious. Just ask Urban.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, have we not opened the ONB yet?

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

Nope. Let's do it.......

frales (pete,mi)

do you think leon washington has a chane to be a graet nfl runningback

edward (oceana,wv)

How good do you thank the cavs can be.

Robert (New Jersey)

Who's has the worse offense, the Browns or the Redskins?

Frank (Newtown Square Pa)

What is the name of Lady Buzz's kickball team. The buzzette, the buzzers,the buzzerbeaters, or matt just give me a buzz?

Neil (Pittsburgh)

Did you know today Wed Oct 28 is National Hamburger Day. So stop by and we'll supersize you.

Robert (New Jersey)

Did you ever push the referee before?

lawrence (stowe vt)

Bynum looks dominate, of course being against the clippers looks can be deceiving.

Nate's Beer Mug (Madison)

Why do I always feel so empty?

Doc Rivers (Boston)

I never thought giving a player the nickname "big baby" would make him act like a big baby.

Mike Golic's Mom (Bristol, CT)

*Making Potroast.....again* I wish sometimes my little Mikey would want something different for lunch.

Blake Griffin's Knee (LA)

I know maybe Blake could handle the pressure of being on the Clips, but I just couldn't.

Deep Question (MB Chat)

Who actually is the pulsiest of the MB Chatters? While Rastall is quite pulsy, it is mostly in ignorance. Grason, on the other hand, stares himself down in the mirror everyday well aware of his pulsiness.

Cavs Fans (Cleveland)

1 game at the Q this season and the Cavs have lost 1. 41 Games at the Q last year and they lost 2. Yup, that Shaq move is paying off.

mary (tampa)

can someone please tell me what is up with charles barkley he has had some drinks .....is it only me help me out here

Craig S. (Sebring, FL)

If the Heisman trophy is supposed to represent the best college football player of the year, Why is so much emphasis placed on a teams record? Offensive players don't play defense, just like defensive players don't play offense. Wouldn't you be upset if the Heisman trophy winner had worse stats than you?

Meagan (Illinois)

Does anyone know where Michelle's dress is from on the Oct. 26th airing? It's adorable!

Matt Damon (BuzzMansion)

Buzz, we need your help. LadyBuzz is working on her kicking technique and we need a ball. You're round. You'll do.

LadyBuzz's kickball teammates (CT)

Gee, everytime we win SOMEONE happens to be absent. I wonder if there is any correlation. Hmmmmmmm.

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

And that's it....

Matt (IN)

Thank god I returned just in time for "And that's it"

Neal (Philly)

That Meagan post had to be a guy posing as a girl.

Christian (High Point, NC)

ONB Fail: There's no such thing as a deep question when Rastall is involved

JB (TX)

Meagan (Illinois) = fred (omaha). Nice try, fred

Scott (Brewtown)

I think Blake Griffin's knee is on meth

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Pulse, I was hoping we'd get through today without the ONB visit...

CAL (St. Paul, MN)

Whoever posted as LadyBuzz's kickball teammates needs to be banned from this chat. I'm blaming Rastall or Nate.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I like the Nate's beer mug one.

Nate (Madison)

Don't worry beer mug, you may have had this past weekend off....but this weekend we will start back up again.

Patrick ( Louisville )

Wow, didn't realize that was the ONB. I feel better now.

Jon (California, MD)

I love breakfast foods, they are cheap and fantastic. If you've never had scrapple, you don't know what you are missing. Try a scrapple, egg, and cheese sandwich for breakfast....it's top notch......

Christian (High Point, NC)

From the "You know what sucks?" department: You know what sucks? Falling asleep around midnight and then waking up 15 minutes later. Your body thinks you were trying to take a nap and so it takes you another two hours to fall back asleep. Pure pulse.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

You know Buzz, I think we'd all have been OK if you opened the ONB at 11:10 AM today.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Boo rastall!!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Know what else sucks that is quickly approaching? Daylight Savings Time. Nothing like leaving work when it's getting dark.

Clay (Charlotte)

Hayden, calm down, even I don't boo Rastall when he's not here.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Boo people who compare me to Rastall. And boo Rastall.

Scott (Napoleon)

wow love the way some cavs fans are calling shaq a bust after one game agains't a good team. he may be a bust but it takes more then one game to decide it.

Pete (NC)

Christian, I think it's worse when you wake up thinking you've only been asleep 15 minutes and you actually slept through the night.

Nate (Madison)

I had a horrible dream last night. I was dreaming that I was back at my parents house, sleeping, and wake up hardly able to breath but everytime I go to get up to get help or get out of the room...I was unable or would fall off the bed. Needless to say I woke up (for real) with a pretty big jolt.

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

I woke up this morning believing 100% that it was Thursday. Once I got through the morning fog in my head, I realized it was Wednesday and was severely disappointed.

Nate (Madison)

Bars open an extra hour this on Saturday!

Patrick ( Louisville )

For the first time in my life, I am looking forward to the time change. Its getting too hard to wake up in the morning. The light should help me out

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Okay, I couldn't resist looking up Whirlyball, and it turns out that there is a court in West Bloomfield. Outstanding work!

Neal (Philly)

I already arrive at work when it's dark. Leaving in the dark doesn't make that much of a difference.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I call shenanigans on the Nate's Beer Mug post. Everyone knows Nate takes it straight from the tap.

Bob (Lowell)

So far the 30 on 30 shows have been pretty good.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Buzz, it's Tuesday.......

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

Crap.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Did anyone see the picture of the 10 foot Great White caught in Australia that was nearly bitten in half by an even larger Great White? It's crazy looking.

Brian (Madison WI)

And happy hour is 60 minutes longer.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who complain about the time need to get lives...and realize that it is time for practice.

Scott (Brewtown)

I'd rather go home in the dark than the way it is right now. The sun barely above the horizon, completely frying my retinas out.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Maybe you're just on Canadian time, Buzz.

Ben (Tempe, AZ)

I had a dream last night that I was trying to make it to Vegas for Halloween but all the flights were booked. I then tried taking a bus but those were booked too. After long thought I decided to ride my bike. Now I woke up this morning confused because it takes 5 hours to drive so it would take at least a week for me to ride my bike. Not sure why I didn't just drive my car......

Big Z (Chicago)

I was the one that bit into that 10 foot Great White Shark.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Andre Agassi (Vegas)

Lunch: meth.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We once scheduled our Disney World vacation during turn the clocks back weekend just to say we got an extra hour at the Happiest Place on Earth.

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Lunch: Buffalo Wild Wings

Jeremy Mayfield (via mobile)

Lunch: Meeting with Agassi

Mike Golic (ESPN)

POTROAST!!!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Ooooh, Whirlyball in KC. Might have to take a mini-vacation.

Mark Sanchez (via mobile)

Lunch: Hoot dogs for everyone!

Neal (Philly)

Ryan (San Diego)

I've woken up before my alarm before and didn't really look at my clock, took a shower and got dressed only to realize I was 2 hours early

Clay (Charlotte)

Lunch: Orange Chicken...the chinese dish not actual chicken that is orange.

Ben (Tempe, AZ)

Lunch: Gotta go Taco Bell

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: Taco Bell, I think.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Lunch: Homemade vegetable beef soup, unsweet tea.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: Random flavor of Lean Cuisine and random flavor of yogurt. We ate out at a soup place last night (Lobster Bisque was delicious) so no leftovers.

Bob (Lowell)

Lunch....liverwurst

Christian (High Point, NC)

Lunch: Leftover homemade chicken pot pie.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

They have soup restaurants? Strange. I'm having leftover chicken tenders from last night.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

LUNCH: Something light today because I'd like to have a free wing or two at the party tonight.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Snow and Bad roads in Denver, just got to work.

Clay (Charlotte)

Alright, gotta get back to work, later SN. Be safe and we'll see ya tomorrow. Peace.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Free wing or two = free PLATE or two of wings.

Nate (Madison)

Alex was driving in a winter wonderland.

Pete (NC)

Wait, unless the establishment is opened at 2:00 am, the time change has no affect.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I saw the weather for Colorado this morning, it looked bad out there. Rain here.

Soup Nazi (NYC)

No soup for you.

Alex (Littleton, CO)

Lunch: Snow ball, Snow Cone, Snow Taco

Scott (Brewtown)

I fell bad for you Alex, especially since it's going to be near 70 tomorrow here.

Ben (Tempe, AZ)

I used to always read the transcript from the buzz because I worked 9-6. With my new promotion I work 7-4 so I was exited to be able to attend. It has been a month and I've attended twice. Suggestions?

Buzzmaster

  (10:57 AM)

Keep coming back and don't become another Grason or Rastall tool.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Run while you can Ben.

Matt (IN)

Ben: Don't eat the yellow snow.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Ok, time to go get more caffeine. Everyone have a great Wednesday. Enjoy the meth of your day, er, I mean rest of your day.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Great chat today, folks. I had a good time. Enjoy the World Series tonight. I know folks in Cleveland won't. Until tomorrow, stay dry and safe, have some fun, and don't do meth. Peace.

JB (TX)

Lunch: $5 footloooong. Excellent work, Subway lady! Also, I'm not a fan of either team, but had Ryan Howard on my fantasy team, so I'll say Phils in 6. Also, that extra hour on Halloween night is gonna be niiice. Adios...

Jeremy (Boston)

Sugg: Schedule meetings with yourself from 10-11. Then others can't make meetings with you then.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Just be funny, Ben. And don't whine. Those are the two biggest guidelines for the MB.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Attend more?

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

OK. We're done here. Thanks for stopping by. We'll be back tomorrow. Enjoy the World Series tonight. Until later, stay classy SportsNation!

Scott (Brewtown)

Have a swell Wednesday everbody!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Adios

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Another guideline that touches on the whining: Just go with the flow.
