Good morning, folks! Happy Thursday!
Kickball Assn of America (Sturbridge CT)
We regretfully announce the one game suspension of lady buzz for conduct detrimental to the game. Please direct all questions to Matt Damon.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
South Park last night was tres magnifique. Especially if you've ever watched Whale Wars.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Good morning. I watched FNL last night. Wow just wow!
Nate (Madison)
Welcome to the Latest Show on Earth!
Pete (NC)
This just in: Cliff Lee is good.
Suits (Bristol)
I swear. If that Buzz guy is late 20 or 30 more times we will have to find someone else to work for peanuts.
Rich (Douglas AK)
How does that short porch in right field feel now?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Good morning, Buzz Nation. Well last night's game was pure pulse as well as my MB FFL waiver claims. I need a good chat to lift my spirits. I hope I find one at some point today.
Marc (Charlotte)
Solid start for Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington last night. Always good to see the newest Tar Heels in the NBA play well.
Neal (Philly)
No South Park spoilers please. I have to wait til this afternoon.
Clay (Charlotte)
Morning Buzz, FNL spoiler...I didn't watch it.
Marc (Charlotte)
Shouldn't Rastall be in school?
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
Not sure that will help him.
stephanie (cincy)
FNL and not the world series. Un- American.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Yay Phillies.
Rich (Douglas AK)
When ever Corey Feldman get a divorce, the National League wins the World Series.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
That behind the back grab by Lee was my favorite moment in last night's game.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
True, Buzz, but confining Rastall to school will sure help the rest of us.
Nate (Madison)
Ok Neal, I'll hold back....this time.
Reggie (Boston)
Hey Pete, he won a Cy Young. Are you just realizing that he's good now?
Greg (Ellicott City)
They probably told Rastall that there was another Flu scare.
Clay (Charlotte)
There's a lot of things that Rastall should be doing.
Scott (Brewtown)
Good Morning! William Henderson? I am curious how many people outside the state of Wisconsin even know who the guy is?
Hor-Hay Posada (NYC)
I call for pitch outside, fat guy throw it over plate. Stupid $#$%$$ pitchers!
Dean (Vermont)
Whoa! Another World Series game tonight? 2 in 2 nights? what is this, the regular season or something? Go Pedro!
Marc (Charlotte)
I couldn't find a whirlyball facility anywhere near Charlotte. Pure Pulse.
Hulk Hogan (Chicago)
For all you Hulkamaniacs in Chicago that don't come to Borders today to have me sign my new book, I'm going to give a big boot to the head, and then drop the leg, BROTHER!
Clay (Charlotte)
Charlotte has a basketball team? Hmm, have to look into that.
Scott (Brewtown)
No school in Wisco today or tomorrow, State teacher convention, hence rastall is on probation
Matt (Portland, ME)
What is this NBA people have been speaking about?
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
It's like the NBDL they have up there in Portland, only better.
Jeremy (Boston)
Come-on Pedro!
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
He also caught a fly ball reminiscent of Willie Mays Hayes of Major League fame.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, so Bill Simmons is in Bristol all day making the rounds and you couldn't get him to come to the MB for 15 minutes?
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
Since he usually chats for about 3 hours any time he comes on, I'd figure 15 minutes wouldn't work all that well. Perhaps we'll get him on soon.
stephanie (cincy)
Favorite part of last night's game was Utley's second shot into right field. CC was hanging his head.
Mario (Ashevill N.C)
Lets go Skip
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Speaking of Major League, my brother is going as Rick Vaughn. He even got the haircut...
Rich (Douglas AK)
Does Pedro particpate in the Yankee coach tossign event pre or post game? Yes everything is a question today?
Lou Brown (Cleveland)
Everytime you catch a ball like that you owe me 20 push-ups.
Nate (Madison)
Sports Guy was on Morning Joe on MSNBC today. Caught me off guard.
Matt (IN)
I know who Henderson is. He was a good player, and I'm sure he is here just to tell everyone how much better those Packer teams were than the current Vikings team
Jeremy (Boston)
The Yanks should have Zimmer on the bench, Pedro should beam Arod, and in the scrum throw Zimmer down again. Yes I said it.
Nate (Madison)
CC let us down in the playoffs last year, too. But I can't hate the guy, we wouldn't have been there without him.
Cliff Lee (NYC)
Buzz, if this chat doesn't pick up in intensity, I'll have to shut it down like the Yankees.
Matt (IN)
Ha, when Lee caught that ball so nonchalantly the scene from Major League was the first thing that came to my mind.
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
Does DirecTV replay the Friday Night Lights episodes? I missed last night's.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
That spiked curveball was pretty impressive. Looks like it just falls off a table.
Scott (Brewtown)
I must admidt, when CC is on the bump for NY, I actually don't hate them for that short period of time.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Boo Rastal!! Boo Yankees!!!
Marc (Charlotte)
Nothing like Boston fans to bring down the already low level of maturity in the chat.
Clay (Charlotte)
Josh, where is your brother going as Rick Vaughn? I would say avoid being in public until Saturday, might get some weird looks.
Matt (Portland, ME)
Oh yeah, I got season tix for that. Go Red Claws!
Brian (Madison, WI)
I miss one day to edumacate myself and I see that I had an imposter and Buzz made fun of me. Nice work boys.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Speaking of Simmons, that reminds me: Gotta go order his and Klosterman's book online.
Wild Thing Vaughn (Cleveland)
You put snot on the baseball?
Sully (Boston Teens)
Marc, another crack like that one and I'll take you down like Don Zimmah!
Reggie (Boston)
Shut up, Marc.
gregory (tx)
who cares about friday night lights. next topic
Dean (Vermont)
Pedro's going to party like it's 1999. ...I wish. That 99 version of Pedro...now THAT'S scary. His curveball? Good and all, but I kind of feel like Count Floyd trying to call that thing scary....ooo pretty scary stuff, kids. It will put goosebumps on your goosebumps... (anyone?)
Clay (Charlotte)
Red Claws? No words describe how bad of a mascot name that is.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
He'll be in Vegas. Plenty of freaks out there, he'll fit in nicely.
Ed Harris (Cleveland)
Yo bartender, Jobu needs a refill!
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Me and four of my buddies are going as the Baseball Furies. Should be awesomeness.
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
LadyBuzz and her co-workers are dressing up like pumpkins.
Marc (Erie PA)
I'll be a lab worker for Halloween, Ted Williams' frozen head is stuck to a Ted Williams autographed bat is my only prop.
Nate (Madison)
Cheering for these teams is like me picking a meal that contains chicken or turkey....and I have a food intolerance for poultry.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Buzz: Just do a program search on your DirecTV menu. That should let you know when the episode will re-air (if it does in fact re-air).
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
It better.
Scott (Brewtown)
Wow, pumpkins, that's original.
Clay (Charlotte)
And you're going as the Giant Pumpkin from Charlie Brown, right? You know...cause you're fat.
JB (TX)
I'm a big FNL fan, but no DirecTV. Is it gonna transition to NBC later on like last season, or do I have to get the DVD?
Chris (Philly)
Chat's slowing down. Poptarts must be ready.
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
Sorry. Was listening to Skip and Ocho go at it on First Take.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
I'm goin old school, I'm dressing up as a Rubix Cube. Oh wait that's Buzz's costume.
JB (TX)
Me and four buddies are going as Buzz. You know, because Buzz is fat.
Dave (Tallahassee, FL)
Yeah, Skip is getting beat again.
Marc (Charlotte)
JB, the season will be on NBC next year (late spring/summer, I believe)
David (Ottawa)
Me and 6 guys decided last night to be the bench of the Golden State Warriors. I get to be Ronny!
Scott (Dallas, TX)
Buzz why is there no 4pm chat today on the scehdule? For those of us in central time, this means chats end at 3pm. I am going to have to find something to do at work for 2 hours. Hopefully I can find something other than work.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Try looking at the schedule.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I can only tell you how to find out, Buzz. I have no influence over the DirecTV program schedule.
Matt (Portland, ME)
Van Gundy sure is interested
Chris (Philly)
Buzz is going to be the first-ever rubik's globe, you know, cause he's round.
Eric (Chicago)
I'm going as TO for Halloween, somebody throws me a football I drop it, then I cry on the sidelines, then I do push-ups on a drive way, then I pretend to stand on a star...good idea?
Jack Bauer (24)
So I guess that judging from the commercials last night, I survived my horrible disease.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
We all knew that when you signed your 3-year contract.
Cody (Jacksonville, Fl)
this is the best week ever to be in Jacksonville. Went to a sports bar last night to grab some wings and there was a group of drunk georgia fans going at it with a group of drunk florida fans, its extremely amusing.
Nate (Madison)
I knew a group that was going to go as Team America and Kim Jong-il, but they passed on it. I was actually looking forward to the Kim Jong-Il costume.
Nate (Madison)
Could go as Ben Sheets or Rich Harden and have a detachable arm.
Neal (Philly)
Looks like we'll get to see more of Elisha Cuthbert this season. I'm not complaining.
Marc (Charlotte)
And we know that Elisha Cuthbert will be back.
Mario (Ashevill N.C)
Why are the The Blue Devils ranked so low
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Because they suck.
Eric (Chicago)
I could also go as Chris Cooley...with a detachable foot.
Jon (California, MD)
Dan Snyder needs to fire Vinny Ceratto.....anyone agree?......
blake (Lansing )
Marc who really cares and tom i dont care
Clay (Charlotte)
Mario, jeez man spell the name of the your city right, ASHEVILLE.
Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)
Jack, fortunately for you it wasn't the flu. It can be deadly.
Jim Zorn (Washington)
I signed a 3-year contract also...
Matt (Portland, ME)
Jon, nothing's going to help.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Scott: Click on the section that says, 'More Chats >>'.
Mario (Ashevill N.C)
Wow!!
Direct Tv guy (Bristol)
All of you just shut up or you will be disconnected.
Scott (Brewtown)
Halloween falling on a Saturday means kids trick or treating until 8pm, me driving my lawn mower all around the neighborhood, pulling a trailer full of hay and kids, getting free beer from all the neighbors. Sweet!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Why are we having so many ITG's in here today? Come on people, cheer up. It's Thursday! Weekend's almost here!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I'll be a man plus one next week so I don't dress for Halloween any more.
melman (atlanta)
DOES ESPN HATE THE ATLANTA HAWKS??....I HAVE BEEN WATCHING ESPN ALL NIGHT AND MORNING. EVERY TEAM IN THE NBA HAS BEEN MENTIONED EXCEPT THE ATLANTA HAWKS
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
GET OVER IT. THE SEASON IS ONLY 2 DAYS OLD.
Mario (Asheville N.C)
Thanks Clay...My bad
Tim (Iowa)
A bunch of my buddies are going around like the Milwaukee Brewers for Halloween. No bats No arms and we are in a cloud.
Nate (Madison)
So Scott says he's from Brewtown so I was thinking the suburbs or Milwaukee but now he mentions pulling a hay wagon so now I'm lost.
Neal (Philly)
Tomorrow's my first day off in 10 days. I can't wait to sleep in.
Jon (California, MD)
Dan Snyder doesn't want any bad publicity at the games. Any signs or shirts that have negative connotation will be confiscated. Really? What a joke. He's a joke. Dan Snyder has made the Redskins a joke. He makes me sick. SICK!
Brian (Madison, WI)
This might be a dumb question, but I'll see what kind of dumb answers I can get. Is it possible to bruise your ear? Flag football last night I took a shot to the side of the head and was seeing stars for a few plays and now today I can't even touch my ear it hurts so bad. Rules out a concussion at least.
Clay (Charlotte)
melman, 1) stop yelling, Q) no one cares about the Hawks, it's not just localized to ESPN
Matt (IN)
Dude, they beat the Pacers. That's why no one cares.
Scott (Brewtown)
Umm melman, the bucks are never mentioned, nor should they be.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
ATLANTA HAWKS SUCK.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Oh come on, melman, you're not aware of the Bristol-Atlanta feud? ESPN has been wanting to stick it to CNN for years!
coyote (sa)
yes melman, it is common knowledge that ESPN hates the hawks and all things Atlanta.
Mark (Bostin)
Clay, relax man!!!
Scott (Brewtown)
It's just my snowmobile trailer with a bunch of hay on it., and yes it's suburbs..Wind Lake, specifically.
Chuck Barkley (ESPN)
Atlanta Hawks will be turrible...there, mentioned on ESPN. OK Melman? And what kinda name is Melman?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
I lost internet. It looks like the ONB with those long posts.
Brick Tamblin (San Diego)
I DONT KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUTTTTTT
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Yes, it is possible to bruise your ear, but it does not look like a bruise on a muscle. Do it too often, and you'll have cauliflower ears like MMA fighters
Marc (Charlotte)
And melman wonders why there is no ESPNAtlanta...
Nate (Madison)
Brewers, no bats? Are you serious Tim? I'll agree on the no arms in regards to pitching.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Getting a Five Guys here in Tempe. Any good?
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Uhh brian, ya dumb question, usually when you get hit, it hurts
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Good Lord yes!
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, ONB.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
Let's do it...
RAY GORDON REID ( WINTER HAVEN 33881)
COMMENT AT 9.45 AM TO THE MORNING BUZZ ESPN PLAZA 935 MIDDLE STREET BRISTIOL CONN YOU ARE DOING MY COMENTS EVERYDAY
Nick (Knoxville,TN)
Colin and Michell i am a big fan of Sports Nation and both pf you are Awesome!!!!!
Lane (Kukuihaele, HI)
Aloha KC!!! Let's say you're the head coach of one of the best rushing teams in the NFL. Your team is losing by 2 scores with minutes remaining. Your team faces a 4th and 1 inside the opposing teams red zone. Their defense played hard but is banged up. Do you kick the field goal and hope your defense, which hasn't looked very good the past 7 quarters of football it's played, stops your opponent? Or do you make a statement and pound the ball through their defense?
Lars Larson (Minneapolis)
Kurt Rambis has brought over some of Phil Jacksons zen, and helped the Wolves who were down by 15 come back and win the game. You stole the Lakers, we steal Rambis. Go Wolves.
Bill Shmikowsky (Oklahoma City)
i wanna know what % of sportsnation thinks that the dez bryant ruling is wrong?
Shawn (Columbus Georgia)
Check the history of who wins after a by week! Georgia also has the overall record by 9 games.
jr2010 (chicago)
the bears need a wide recevier!!! why wont they just go get steve smith from the panthers!! they dont need him beside they bout too re-build anyway
Jeremy (Maryland)
whatever happened to the segment of "jacked up!" you should include it into your show.
Ben sleuth (livingston,MT)
dallas cowboys rock and will win the SupeBowl or playoffs right?
Jacob (Morrison, Illinois)
The Phillies will win the World Series in 6 games because of the power of their bats. The Phils line-up is stacked with power. The Yanks only come up clutch every once in a while.
phil (alabama)
How come people say Tom Brady sucks. They say if it wasn't for the good people around him, he would suck. Would he suck?
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
And that's it...
Tim (Iowa)
Brewers batting average was in the bottom third of MLB. There power numbers were equally anemic.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz hide, RGR knows you're address.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Whining about the NBA on Day two of a nine month season where everyone but the Knicks and Clippers qualify for the playoffs. That's ONB-worthy.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Agree with Nate! Brewers have the bats!
Chris (Philly)
Five Guys is the greatest. Goodburger tried to open up shop a block away from a Five Guys here, and it closed down less than a year later.
Mike (Iraq)
Does Alabama have a chance for the BCS Title
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
There was a fight televised on ESPN Wednesday Night Fights once where a guy's ear kept getting hit and finally exploded and the ref stopped the fight. It was just hanging there. Pretty cool!
Ryan (Philly)
I am going to be Uncle Eddie from National Lampoons for halloween. You serious Clark?
Neal (Philly)
Ben, Five Guys is awesome. Get the fries cajun style. Just don't get a large fry unless you want to look like Buzz.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Ben, this is another guideline for the new folks: Five Guys is like the favorite restaurant of the MB, along with Sonic.
Marc (Charlotte)
Ben, to question Five Guys is to question your manhood.
Mario (Asheville N.C)
Whats with Larry Brown coached teams..they never can score..or is it just me
Jon (California, MD)
As a die-hard fan, I'm torn. How can I boycott my team? It's the management that I hate, the management that has made my team a laughing stock. I can't fault the players (well, to a degree). Do I participate in a boycott until some major changes happen? This sucks. I love the REDSKINS, hate Snyder and Vinny. Sportsnation, What should I do?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Buzz has his own zip code 'cause you know...
Mel (atlanta)
When we lose we are all over sportcenter though....I see how it works.you people will be on the banwagon pretty soon....lol
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Did y'all see the weather this morning in Colorado? Let's go skiing.
Eric (Chicago)
Me and 8 other guys are going as the Chicago Cubs, we're all dressing as old guys, over 100 years old, all in old uni's too and behind us is a goat.
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
That's kind of a turrible costume.
Ron (Va)
Buzz, this may seem silly to you but I have read more nice things said about michele of sportnation in this chat than of you.
Dean (Vermont)
Got our Netflix movie for Halloween weekend...Alien just came in the mail. Pretty darn scary flick? Can anyone name a better choice?
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Mikky Dees man
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
At least call him cousin Eddie, that'll be a start
Matt (Portland, ME)
Mike, I know crap about CFB but thanks for your service.
Clay (Charlotte)
Has anybody seen a Backyard Burger lately? They had great burgers and the only one I know about has closed down.
Scott (Brewtown)
I think Tim has spent too much time in the Dorito fields of Iowa.
Clay (Charlotte)
Ron...ummm...duh.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
melman, did you really think you're fooling us by chopping it down to Mel? Oh, and you should be flagged for using the shortened laugh out loud.
Ryan (San Diego)
Im gonna be the balloon boy
Jon (California, MD)
West Coast has In-n-out Burgur, East Coast has 5 guys. Both are great. I lean towards In-N-Out, but that probably because it's a treat to me and not a weekly habit. Love Both.....
Greg (Ellicott City)
Im back. Did you miss me?
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Not in the least, Grason.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
The is a Backyard Burger (2 in fact) In Paducah, Ky.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
The south has Checkers. I can use a Champ Burger rigth now too..........................HEALTHY!!!
Brian (Madison, WI)
That stupid Hawks fan probably thinks the Cavs are done for the year too.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Are my submissions coming through?
stephanie (cincy)
"Halloween" with a young Jamie Curtis scare the bejeezus out of me
Clay (Charlotte)
Shut up Grason...there said it for you Buzz.
Brian (Madison, WI)
For Halloween I'm going as a gorilla. It's going to be sweet. Still deciding if I want to dress up, go into the grocery store, grab a few things of bananas, and go through the checkout.
Neal (Philly)
Philly has Checkers as well. They're only good for the milkshakes. The grease from that food runs through Buzz's veins.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I think I was desensitized to horror movies as a kid. None of them scare me now, which is disappointing.
Nate (Madison)
Brewers in all of MLB: 10th in HR's, 13th in batting average, 8th in OBP, 10th in slugging, and 9th in OPS. And that was with a lot of guys have pulse seasons. Sorry Tim, try again....I rest my case, moving on.
Buzzmaster (10:37 AM)
Dude...We're down to the Phillies and Yankees. Every other team sucked this season. Relax.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Can't go wrong with The Exorcist. Still scares the hell out of me.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Ok after the MB yesterday, I went out at lunch and rented Nothing Like the Holidays. It almost put me in the spirit, until a coworker came in whining and complaining.. Geez.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
Buzz, do you get a cothoder when you eat because it takes so long?
Buzzmaster (10:38 AM)
Ummmmm. Not sure what that is. Sounds gross, so I'll say no.
Steve (NJ)
Personally, a young Jamie Curtis doesnt' frighten me.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Because no-one has ever done that before, Brian.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Buzz if you didn't miss Greg, did you miss me?
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
I already told you, Grason, no.
Tim (Iowa)
Being 10th ..well you may as well be last.
coyote (sa)
cothoder? Did you mean catheter?
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
I don't know what he meant. If he did, I would appreciate him not talking any more about that region of mine.
Nate (Madison)
My Max from Where The Wild THings are costume is finalized. Going to be sweet, only issue is the going the bathroom thing. It's a one piece pajama suit so that part is going to suck.
Ryan (San Diego)
I hate to disagree Buzz, but the Padres are better than the Yankees and Phillies. They just had some bad luck that kept them out of the playoffs
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
If you ain't first, you're last! Or something.
Jeremy (Boston)
Gorilla doesn't sound like a great costume for you Brian...has a mask, thus will cut into your drinking....
Buddy the Elf (NYC)
Robbi, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singining loud for all to hear!
Brian (Madison, WI)
When did I mention that no one has done that before?
Clay (Charlotte)
Nate, does your one piece have a butt flap?
Ben (NC)
Did I read this right? Stephanie is a young Jamie Lee Curtis. Wow.
Jon (California, MD)
Redskins management is a joke........
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Give poor Hayden a break. It's early in Utah, and he's probably still drunk from the night before.
Neal (Philly)
I think Ryan is the Slim that Agassi brings up in his book.
tom* (parkville, md)
Yeah, Utah is notorious for its drunks.
Nate (Madison)
Clay, what's funny is when I ordered it I could have added that option but I passed on it.
Chris (MPLS)
Sorry I'm late guys, I got stuck behind Buzz on the freeway
Jon (California, MD)
Brewers are like the Orioles, they have loyal fans but probably won't be good again in our lifetimes.....
Andre Agassi (Las Vegas)
Neal, now that you mention it, Slim always had a popped collar.
Reggie (Boston)
OK Nate, we don't need to hear you defend a lousy team that played in a really bad division. Enough.
Ryan (San Diego)
I am Neal, what he didnt' tell you was that in exchange for his meth fix, he would throw matches for me and I would make a bunch of money
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Seriously....how come you never call us Jareg? I feel slighted.
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Calm down Grason.
Brian (Madison, WI)
The best part about my costume might the gloves, the hands are huge. Perfect for me to Rastall slap Nate if he gets out of hand.
Nate (Madison)
Oh god, Buzz I'm sorry for the baseball talk. I now brought out "annoying Sowx fan" guy.
Matt (Portland, ME)
The ATP is on to you, Ryan.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
tom, do I sense sarcasm?
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
So Nate and Brian know each other? And they are from Wisconsin? And alcoholics? This all makes sense.... I like these guys
Steve (NJ)
So the train was late, and I arrived to some really obnoxious raszzing from my colleagues concerning last night. Okay then. Good game Mr. Lee. Bad game, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Marte, Mr. Bruney.
Marc (Charlotte)
Nate, I thought your Aunt made it for you?
Clay (Charlotte)
Rastall slap? I like it.
Nate (Madison)
Ben, and I like Tempe.
Reggie (Boston)
How exactly am I annoying, Nate? I don't give 2 bleeps about the Brewers, they suck get over it man.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Was my petition to change the MB swear word from Pulse to Rastall accepted?
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
No. We've just added it to the vocab.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Brewers have loyal fans? I remember going to Cubs vs Brewer games at Miller Park from 2003 thru 2005 and there were rarely any Brewer fans there.
Nate (Madison)
Marc, she did. I ordered the one piece pajama suit and she made/attached the hood/ears/tail/etc.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
I remember when the Cubs won something of importance... wait they just lose playoff games...
Scott (Brewtown)
We do have loyal fans....there's only 4 of them, but they're loyal.
tom* (parkville, md)
Neither man nor Buzzchatter can live by one swear word alone.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wait, Ben, I thought you said that you'd been reading transcripts for a while. If that's true, you should already know all about Nate and Brian.
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Come on people. It's Thursday. We need to liven things up for the last part of the chat.
Nate (Madison)
Ben, Clinton's on to you. Trust me, he's good at these investigations...look what he did Salem back in 1692.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Sometimes a swear word just makes you feel better.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
That's exactly it SteveFitz, when a team does not have a lot of fans, those fans are usually loyal fans. The one that only go to gane when the team is doing good are the bandwagon fans
Zack (Louisville, KY)
If The Suits told Buzz to not eat at his desk, Buzz would disobey them more than regularly. Because he's fat.
Marc (Charlotte)
Clinton doesn't even remember the last time the Cubs won something of importance, and he is old.
Mel (atlanta)
I've been trying!
Scott (Brewtown)
Well done, Nate.
tom* (parkville, md)
Okay, everyone! Dance for the Buzzmaster!
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Fact: Clinton ran the Spanish Inquisition.
Clay (Charlotte)
Chickpea...neither a chick nor a pea, discuss.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Halloween Office tonight will make me feel better.
Eric (Chicago)
Remember, after you sing loud for everyone to hear...every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings!
Marc (Charlotte)
Nate, there are two words to solve your bathroom dilemma... Colostomy Bag.
Clay (Charlotte)
Mel(man), to recap, no one cares about the Hawks, try a new topic.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That's true, Melman. You've been very trying.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Mel, ranting about an alleged conspiracy against Atlanta does not equal livening things up. In fact, I blame YOU for all of this today.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Clinton...true. I also know Buzz is fat
Mike Singletary (San Francisco)
Buzz, I've already dropped my pants to show how completely disgusted I am in the performance of this lousy chat.

Ryan (San Diego)
Melman shortened to Mel already. Who are you trying to fool
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: I'm thinking Salsaritas for a burrito.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
That might be dumb, but how come the chickpea is not a pea? There is many different kinds of peas
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Buzz, you really get paid to do this? How many bags of doritos do you go through in a day?
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
Nunya.
Steve (NJ)
Champ, I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
Clark Griswold (Chicago )

Hayden (Logan, Utah)
*rastal slap* how do ya like that JB
Steve (NJ)
Bandwagon fans...like the woman in the office across the way that left the office early yesterday and returned with a brand-new Jayson Werth jersey? The same woman who's been saying 'in your face!' all morning?
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
The chickpea is a legume.
Nate (Madison)
Liquid lunch today. Lost my appetite.
Ryan (San Diego)

Nunya business. That's what.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Marc (Charlotte)
JB, Wings reruns are on USA at like 6 AM EST.

Good thing Greg is balancing out that lunch with a diet soda. He might get fat.

Zack (Louisville, KY)
Lunch: Sesame Chicken w/ Steamed Rice
Scott (Dallas, TX)

Bandwagon fan? Or just trying to annoy Yankee fans? Gotta give props if it is the latter....
Neal (Philly)
Have a good weekend everyone! Go Phils!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad, unsweet tea.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
The other day I introduced my wife to the "Nunya Business" response to questions. I'm sure she'll have fun using it.
Old jokes (1997)
We would like our material back Buzz
Brian (Madison, WI)
Lunch: A brat smothered with kraut and some Munchies.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, this story is just ridiculous. Involves the following: Homeless guy, stolen ferret in pants, ferret bitting teen in face. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33531981/ns/us_news-weird_news/
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
I hope that link is clean.
Ryan (San Diego)
Technically you can't really be a NEW bandwagon fan if you're a Phillies fan. They've been on since last year
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
LUNCH: 6" turkey with lettuce, tomato and extra cucumbers and some baked Southwest Ranch chips. Overdid it at the party last night and need to get back on track.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
It's from MSNBC, should be fine.
Clay (Charlotte)
Lunch: Roast Beef and french fried portaters...mmmmm
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Good heavens, nunya is older than Clinton.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Lunch: Five Guys with a Regular soda
Dean (Vermont)
Lunch? Attempting to savor the Series, I plan to have a Philly Cheesestake. [....aww, who'm I kiddin? It's just an excuse to have a cheesestake...]
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Any sentence involving "ferrets in pants" won't end well.
Nate (Madison)
Didn't Salt N Pepa have a song called "Nunya Business"
Old Joke (1974)
Buzz is so fat that when he sits around the house...He sit a round the house.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Is that steak or stake, as in vampire?
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Vampires hate Cheesestakes
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Robbi: I had no idea he was in the hospital. Consider him added to my prayers.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Lunch: Whatever my work provides me today.
Mayday Malone (Boston)
Nate and Brian should dress up as Norm and Cliff for Halloween.
Melvin (Virginia)
SKIP are you kidding ME Peterson not a breakaway threat!!! Example one single game rushing against Chargers 10th ranked rush defence had 250 yards in 2nd Half 3 RUNS over 60. He leds the league in runs over 30 yards your at ESPN CHECK IT.
Old AND Bad joke (1953)
Buzz, you dropped your pocket......
JB (TX)
Lunch: Popeyes. Also, I have ideas for Buzz's costume. Either put on a Notre Dame shirt and be Charlie Weis, or an Eagles shirt and fake mustache and be Andy Reid. You know, because they're both fat.
Eric (Chicago)
Lunch: Chicken Wings, Pepperoni Sandwich, Nacho Cheese Doritos
Buzzmaster (ESPN)
Hey guys, why couldn't the Pirate get into the movie? Because it was rated "ARRRRH"
Nate (Madison)
Pretty pumped that the weekend is almost here. Monday-Wednesday was pure pulse. To add to it, a hawk or owl or some big bird almost flew into my windshield last night coming back from Milwaukee.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
OK I'm outta this chat for today. I'll try to be more entertaining for you tomorrow, Buzz. Get your costumes ready people! Have a great day, stay safe, and have some fun today. Until tomorrow, peace.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Lunch is Subway paid for by the boss. Solid.
Marc (Charlotte)
I'm thinking about being Carl Spackler for Halloween.
Jon (California, MD)
"and if I, wanna date a guy, something something something....It's NUNYA BUSINESS". Yes, I do believe that SandP had a song called nunya business......good pull.....
Brian (Madison, WI)
Still debating if I want to start my weekend early and go to the Firehouse concert tonight.
Buzzmaster (10:57 AM)
You should go to the Firehouse deli in CT.
Ryan (San Diego)
Bad things always happen when you try and leave Milwaukee
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
I think I might be Lucy.
Pete (NC)
Did you hear about the psychologist who was fired for sexual harassment? She showed her Freudian slip.
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
Any my joke was bad?
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I am starting my weekend tonight and will be in poor spirits tomorrow morning.
Nate (Madison)
Alright, who let Melvin out of the ONB?
coyote (sa)
Buzz, do you really want Brian in CT? You'd become a dry state due to the lack of supply within a day of his arrival.
Nate (Madison)
Things I've almost hit with my car this year: Deer, skunk, raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, cat, snapping turtle, and now whatever that big bird was. Not going well heading into winter.
tom* (parkville, md)
Have a thumpin' Thursday, everyone.
Scott (Brewtown)
Have a swell Thursday everybody.
Jeremy (Boston)
See you everyone. Hopefully Pedro throws a great game tonight.......Maybe he can duplicate "for the love of the game", and take a late career no-no into the late innings.....would be classic...
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Alright, people. Enjoy the rest of your day and stay classy!
Brian (Madison, WI)
And Nate steered the bus into me many times this year.
Marc (Charlotte)
You could tell that it was a snapping turtle as you drove by it?
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
OK everyone. We're done here. Thanks for stopping by. We'll be back again tomorrow. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Adios
CAL (St. Paul, MN)
Have a good one Buzz.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
later buzz, Ill try not to be hungover tomorrow
Nate (Madison)
Ok, everyone have a good Thursday.....about 34 hours away from cracking one open, WOOOOOO
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Ryan in SD is right. I left Milwaukee after a Brewer game driving back to Chicago and I blew a tire. My lugs were rusted and I had to call a tow to come get me. There was a terrible accident and I was last priority. Flat at 5pm, picked up at 10pm. TURRIBLE!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
Have a good Thursday. One day left. Bye y'all.
Greg (Ellicott City)
You stay fat now Buzz.
tom* (parkville, md)
Dang it, Nate, you have got to try harder to hit those rascals.
Scott (Dallas, TX)
Nate, that is a dinner menu for Clinton in KY
