Buzzmaster (9:57 AM)
Goooooooooood morning!
Buzzmaster (9:58 AM)
We're set up in the bowels of ESPN, as we'll have our friends from the Big 12 chatting at 11 a.m. ET. Give me one second and we'll get started.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Nice work getting Pacquiao to chat, Buzz. Fight week is insane for those guys, especially when you have a 60 person entourage like Manny.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz is early? Hell must be getting cold.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Morning nation. Buzz comes thru again with another allstar chat lineup today. Great start to the day, 80's at 8am on the radio and then the morning chat.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People who sit in bowels need to get lives.
Nate (Madison)
Girl at work is driving me crazy, caused me to pull a mini Nate and Brian last night.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Buzz, I thought I made it to work on time today, but after 10 minutes of replay, it turned out I was late.
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
It's awfully quiet down here. We're in a big conference room on the first floor, which is actually the basement. Nothing going on down here. Though there are 2 40-inch flat panels hanging from the ceiling. If it gets too quiet, I might just turn them on.
Rodney (Detroit)
Buzz, my friends and I got in an interesting discussion last night. Would you let Mike Tyson have a clean punch on you with a glove on for $1,000,000?
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Today's Mike Tyson or the 1988 Mike Tyson?
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I was lame as hell last night. I went to bed at 10:30.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, folks! Tip of the cap to all the veterans out there.
Matt (IN)
Good morning all. Big shout out to all of our veterans for their service to this country.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm late on the one day that Buzz is early. Starting the MB with Snoop Doggy Dogg (early stuff) today.
Hal (New London Ct)
Jeter is not, i repeat NOT a gold glover.
Steve (Dallas, TX)
1988 Mike Tyson
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Then no. He'd kill me.
Rodney (Detroit)
88 Tyson
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Actually, the answer would be no to today's Tyson too, because he's broke and couldn't pay me.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Have a little time before heading out with the kids and thought I'd stop by. Feels weird chatting from home.
Eric (Chicago)
We Salute You Mr. and Miss/Mrs. Veterans of America!
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
For $1,000,000? God, I think I'd have to....
Greg (Ellicott City)
Morning, Buzz. Why am I at work on Veterans day?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
I dunno. Are you a veteran?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Why should we get the day off of work when veterans are out there across the world working?
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Question: Does the purchase of a time machine to take us back to 1988 cut into the $1,000,000?
Rodney (Detroit)
That seemed to be the general answer. I said for a million, it might be worth a shot.
Eric (Chicago)
I thought Veteran's Day was a National Holiday...am I missing something here?
Steve (Chicago)
Mornin Buzz, caught the transcript yesterday. Let me just say that PCB (nice one Clinton!) is an idiot!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Oh come on, Nate. You have a Nate and Brian any day that ends in a 'y.'
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, I thought you always worked in the basement?
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
Different building.
Greg (Ellicott City)
We should get the day off in their honor.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
They should get the day off and we all go do their jobs for the day.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
I think I'm going to get roped into a meeting here in a few minutes...
John (Lexington, KY)
Got lower level UK UNC basketball tickets in the lottery last night. Lady Luck is watching over me
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Actually it depends. Can I hide that $1,000,000 from the IRS or is it really only going to be like $560,000?
Jim (Del)
Buzz would you take a punch from a Tyson chicken?
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
Depends. Is it a cooked chicken?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
But most of that million would probably end up paying your medical bills, wouldn't it?
Greg (Ellicott City)
For one day... deal.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
Wow Grason. That might be the most sense you've ever made in your life.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I am not going to question why I am given a day off. Heck, I work on Black Friday when a lot of other people are off.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
That's what insurance is for!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Either this chat is moving very fast this morning or I am moving very slow. Probably the latter.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And when you file a claim, the insurance company would most likely refuse to pay anything because you're stupid enough to let Mike Tyson punch you in the face. They'll call it a pre-existing condition.
Big Z (via mobile)
Did someone say Tyson chicken? Mmmm, chicken.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Replay = the Pulse = the Suck
Eric (Chicago)
Bill Curtis asks, Who shops on Black Friday anymore when you have the internet?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I watched the Jimmy the Greek thing last night. Very well done. Reminded me of when I was a kid and 'The NFL Today' was all we had.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I think having to work Christmas Eve is more onerous than Black Friday.
Greg (Ellicott City)
I would like to thank Clinton for his service to the country in defending the USA from the Red Coats.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I have to work on Christmas Eve as well, unless I use a vacation day.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Onerous? Burdensome, tiring, difficult? Depends on the job, I guess. Don't most places give their employees a half-day on Christmas Eve?
JB (TX)
Who shops on Black Friday? Umm, everyone? It's the lead story on the news every year.
Marc (Charlotte)
It'll be great to see a quality basketball coach like Roy Williams up close, John.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I shop on Black Friday and Orange Saturday (named by my kids) because I enjoy getting out of the house and doing it. You meet some interesting people and my girls like to go shopping for their mom. What's so wrong about that?
Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)
People who take days off need to get lives.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I have to use a full vacation day on Black Friday and a half vacation day on Christmas Eve. Since I have 15 vacation days per year, plus sick days and personal days, I don't mind so much.
Rick (Tampa, FL)
Morning nation and the one and only Buzz. To all our Veterans in the sports nation and the nation itself I salute you all and God bless you for your dedication and commitment to protecting this great country of ours.
Ryan (San Diego)
Jimmy's kid was so burnt on no inheritance. He was like..."My dad could have been a millionair, should have been a millionaire. He made a lot of money, but he also spent a lot of money. Almost every cent, trust me"
Mark (Boston)
Grason's going a little overkill on the Clinton jokes. This is like the 3rd day in a row he's dropped a lame one.
Al Gore (Everywhere)
I invented Orange Saturday. J.B.'s kids are liars!
John (Lexington, KY)
It'll be even better getting to see him walk off the court hanging his head after the loss
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I dunno if I'd want to take kids along on Black Friday...I'd be worried about them being trampled.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Well, after hearing about the guy who was trampled at a Wal-Mart last year, I'm not taking any chances.
JB (TX)
I watched part of the Jimmy the Greek thing at the gym last night, hard to believe Brent Musberger was once young.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Oh yeah. Wale is chatting later today at 4 p.m. ET. His latest album dropped yesterday.
Carl Everett (via mobile)
Ain't no such thing as Orange Saturday.
Matt (IN)
I get Black Friday off, the day after Christmas, plus the office closes early before certain holidays (Easter, 4th of July, Labor Day). Pretty sweet.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
I have a friend whose company shuts down the entire week between Christmas and New Year's. How great is that?
Nate (Madison)
Wale is good pulse.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Is that like Wall-E?
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
No, that's like the rapper Wale.
Sydney Dean (California Coast)
*hand raised* - It's pretty, it's so pretty!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Well I said I was only going to be here for a little bit and I meant it. Time to go have some fun with the kids. Doing some shopping for Feed-A-Friend then Toys for Tots followed by lunch and a trip to the Farmers' Market. It may sound lame to most of you but I know it's going to be fun for us. Have a great day, Buzz Nation, and I'll check in tomorrow from work. Peace.
Nate (Madison)
Yeah Buzz, they are called teachers.
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
Nope. He's not a teacher.
Big Z (Chicago)
Can you get Wale on the buffet?
Billy Hoyle (California Coast)
Don't worry Sid-ney, I've hustled a hella lotta better players than you...
Buzzmaster (Bristol)
I have off whenever I want. No suits are going to tell me when I have to work.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I am so confused by these California Coast things.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
I'm with you Matt in IN. We get Christmas eve and Christmas off, if it falls on the weekend we get Friday and Monday off. Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving. We're also closed on July 3rd and 4th and closed on New Years day. If those days fall on a weekend we get Friday off. All half days on the last working day before those hollidays too.
Dean (Vermont)
A thing of beauty is a joy forever! My man John Keats said that. ...John Keats. That's my man.
Greg (NY)
So Nate you must be one of those teacher bashers. Check it out sometime and see how you cope with the parents, kids, administrators who love to make you stressed. Go ahead try it.
Justin (Burch)
OSU-Iowa tailgate Saturday. Should be a blast.
Rick (Tampa, FL)
Is Mel Kiper really a guru Buzz??
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
Last I checked.
Rosie Perez (California Coast)
Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs.
John (Lexington, KY)
The Droid has commercials with bombers, iPhone has commercials with people frolicking around with flowers. Nuff said
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Josh: White Men Can't Jump. Totally random, so I'm guessing Grason sent them in.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Oh yeah, and whirley ball in a month.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Nice. There's a whirley ball facility in Chicago.
Nate (Madison)
Ummm I'm not bashing on teachers, just noting that they are off during those weeks. I'm going to be a cop or some sort of law enforcement agent so Greg I don't think you need to lecture me on putting up with people.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I'm way more confused right now than during an average MB. And that's saying something.
Rick (Tampa, FL)
Buzz, what in the world is this Rapper Wale chat @ 4:00?
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
He's Wale. And he's chatting at 4.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
I hate people. They are the reason I have not be able to play.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
The Rosie Perez thing cleared it up. It's been a while since I've watched that movie.
Matt (IN)
What, no "We goin to Sizz-lah" posts?
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
How about that commercial with the mom in the van with the kids and she starts singing that Friendly's song? I think that's burrowed deep into my brain and makes me more and more crazy every time I hear it.
Greg (NY)
Sorry, I taught for 11 years. Got out and now into financial consulting/insurance sales. Much easier and less stressful
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Wale = not on my MP3 player.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
Maybe he should be. You've got Brittney Spears on there, for crying out loud.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Nobody here knows Wale...we are too old.
Marc (Charlotte)
John, I'm sure you'll have to vacate the loss (if it happens) in a few years.
JB (TX)
Nate as a cop? For some reason I'm getting images of Seth Rogen and that other guy in SuperBad.
Nate (Madison)
Wale's single Chillin' is pretty damn good. I highly recommend it.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
that other guy in Superbad = Bill Hader.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I spend most of my TV time catching up on stuff on my DVR. The biggest benefit: Not seeing those annoying commercials over and over and over and over and over . . .
Reggie (Boston)
I'm 23 and I can't say I've ever heard of Wale, Mike. Has he been around for a while, Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
I believe this is his first full album release.
John (Lexington, KY)
Live in the moment. I'll take my chances
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Funny. No Britney on my MP3 player. Although I do have a few Justin songs . . . seriously.
JB (TX)
Wale is a good rapper, no really big hit songs though, which would be why y'all don't know him yet.
Ryan (San Diego)
He's worked with Lady Gaga so you know it's good
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I don't listen to rap, but it's nice to see Buzz diversify the chat personalities.
Nate (Madison)
He's from D.C. Am I the only hip-hop guy here?
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
I expect to see you in the chat at 4.
Justin (Ohio)
Why am I on your MP3 player Tom?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I love hip hop, Nate. Just haven't caught Wale yet. I'll check him out.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Our Big 12 coaches and crew are invading the conference room. Three schools, lots of people.
Tom (pa)
I thought wale was a mammal that swam in the ocean.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)
I listen to hip hop.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I've never understood people who say they like "everything but country." Really? You chose to single out country over opera or death metal?
Ford/Anderson/Drew (Bristol)
Well, they told us we could eat breakfast here. They didn't tell us the fat guy would eat it all before we got any.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
That's funny. Sorry, I was just talking to Rob from the Big 12.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Yes Clinton. I would listen to death metal before country. Deal with it.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
I figured "Wale" was Adawale Ogunleye of the mediocre Chicago Bears.
Dean (Vermont)
BRICK...BRICK...You still throwing up bricks? What is this...a mason's convention? Let's stop and gather all these bricks. Let's build a homeless shelter so maybe your mother has a place to live.
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
Is that from White Men Can't Jump too?
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
If not, that's totally random.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, is it just the 3 Big 12 coaches, or are all of them there?
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
Today it's just Travis Ford, Mike Anderson and Scott Drew. I believe there's another Big 12 day planned for next month when others will be here.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
To ward off country music bashing, lets bring on the ONB.
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
Good call. Let's do it....
Dave Doyle (pickerington ohio)
Where does Mr. Bill Cower fit in to the Notre Dame conversation as possible next head coach if Charlie gets the boot.
Lester (Bayshore, New York)
Why hasn't Devin Hester been the dangerous, electrifying returner we've come to know?
kaden mellema (sioux fall sd)
This is a little late but the packers did everything they could to let the Bucks win. They played awful.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People who quote Tom Coughlin because they booked coaches from the Big 12 need to get lives.
Steve (NJ)
Did I mention that I got married? What a great thing. Wife, wife, wife, wife. Marriage, marriage, marriage.
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
Modern Warfare 2 is the opposite of pulse.
philD (westland)
Right now i hate Lebron more then anyone in the NBA. I have no doubt that he is going to take money over championships, also i think he is one of the most overrated players in the league. That being said he was my #1 pick for my fantasy team.
Derek Jeter (Texas)
Yankees are unstoppable next year!!
John (Madison)
The Brewers will beat out the cubs and cardinals for the NL Central in 2010. Mark down the date you heard this 11/11/09
Bob (NE Philly)
Cole Hamels remains a phillie. Good for the phillies not to be swayed by the tabloid media and overreactive misinformed fans.
Matthew (pittsburgh)
What do you think is going to be the biggest factor in the Bengals Steelers game?
Matthew Coholich (pittsburgh)
Do you think Joe Cada deserved to win the WSOP or do you think one of the big guns should have won like Jeff Shulman or Phil Ivey?
Owen (Holly Springs, NC)
Go Akron Hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brad Miller (Chicago)
I got robbed in my own home.
Vinny Farina (Murrysville, PA)
What's up with the PENS they started 9-1 and now slipped to 12-6 will they make another trade to get back on track?
RAY GORDON REID ( KNOXVILLE TENNESEE 37902)
MY COMMENT AT 10.45 AM IMEANNOW BUZZ STAY CLASSSY MEN LADIES MORNING BUZZERS TILL TOMORROW
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
And that's it....
Levi (Owensboro,KY)
who is going to win the super bowl?
JB (TX)
LeBron James: not overrated.
Dean (Vermont)
yes - from White Men Cant Jump. that quote was Woody Harrelson doing his best Larry Bird impersonation and talking some serious trash.
tom* (parkville, md)
I'm know I'm late to today's chat, but has anyone explained why Jeter won another undeserved Gold Glove?
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Ah yes, who "deserves" to win a game that involves a significant amount of luck?
Brandon (Chicago)
I can see Soldier Field from my cube.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
I think that's totally awesome. And, no, there is not any sarcasm coding there.
Matt (IN)
The Packers and the Bucks played? Am I missing something?
tom* (parkville, md)
RAY is talking to us from the future again.
Justin (Ohio)
Really sad day yesterday at Ft. Hood. Thanks to those who serve. Have a great Veterans Day.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Agreed w/ Jason. Modern Warfare 2 is a great game.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
You can't agree with yourself, Grason.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
And I thought the golf course window was good.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Lot of Jeter haters in here. He plays a good shortstop, in my opinion...and I'm not a Yankee fan.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
You know, until somebody asked the question about Jeter, I had no idea they'd even handed out Gold Gloves yesterday.
Zeke (LA)
No, no, no. That is Ghana. You are shooting for the Sudan.... and a hook shot!
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
"I play Modern Warfare 2" is just another way to say "I'm single and yes I still live with my parents"
Bob (Charlotte )
It is easy to understand why Jeter got a gold glove. Name recognition and Yankee bias by the media types.
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
I don't think that the media votes on the Gold Gloves.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Some guy called into sports radio here yesterday complaining the reason why the Giants are losing is because of the lack of run game. He said they need to pick up Edge. I thought that guy was nuts
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Coaches vote on the Gold Gloves.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Right, Mike, because all people who play non-sports video games are huge losers who live in the basement*
Greg (Ellicott City)
And what does "I chat from 10-11 on the MB" say about us?
Buzzmaster (10:37 AM)
That we're all totally awesome.
Ryan (San Diego)
Ben, the Giants have 3x the running game the Chargers have. You just need a better quarterback
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Thanks Buzz.
Matt (IN)
How about Sosa? He looks creepy now.
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
Not sure what that was about. But, if you are actually doing a "skin rejuvenation" and it bleaches your skin, why do you go out in public before you're healed?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
And here comes Ryan disproving the whole "we're all totally awesome" thing.
Nate (Madison)
I think Ryan and his popped collar would rather lose and look good than look bad and win.
John (Lexington, KY)
Rafael Palmeiro won a Gold Glove even though only playing something like 80 games at 1st
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Good call Buzz. Wikipedia tells me Managers and Coaches vote on Gold Gloves and they are not allowed to vote for their own players.
Alex Trebek (Los Angeles)
He is the all time leader in rebounds. Gloria, "Who is Babe Ruth?"
BOBBY (BLACKSBURG)
Quick....name a starting SS in the American League besides Derek Jeter.......you cant! thats why he won the gold glove. Every other team had a platoon or middling short stop.
Jeff (New York)
I love how Chargers fans walk around with some sense of entitlement. What has San Diego ever done, Ryan? You're franchise is a joke, go live up to expectations for once. Losing in the AFC title game in 07 and then calling the Patriots classless is just what SD does, lose and make excuses/attack the team that beat them.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Elvis Andrus
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Elvis Andrus
jill (norman)
Mike Leach said ya'll have a really nice salad bar, but it was too crowded. He said the turkey sand was good.
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
True on both counts.
Al Gore (via mobile)
I invented the vat of knowledge known as Wikipedia.
Justin (Ohio)
Cal Ripken Jr.
Eric (Chicago)
Elvis Andrus, Alexei Ramirez, Orlando Cabrera, Marco Scutaro to name a few.
jill (norman)
He also said it is just like a high school cafeteria.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
As far as rants from non-regulars go, I fully support Jeff (New York)'s.
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)
Jeff should become a regular. Y'all come back now, ya hear?
Ben (NC)
No stephanie today. Community service I guess.
John (Lexington, KY)
I liked Neyer's blog about how if you win a certain amount of Gold Gloves in a row you MUST deserve another one. What a joke. Franklin Gutierrez is a defensive machine and he gets the shaft
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
If you aren't a good, or at least slightly above average, offensive player, you have no shot at a Gold Glove (Ozzie Smith notwithstanding). Exhibit A: Gerald Laird.
JB (TX)
Alan Trammel, Tony Fernandez, Walt Weiss...
Nate (Madison)
Quick, name the starting 3B for the 1989 Cleveland Indians......Roger Dorn. Now that was an easy one.
Ryan (San Diego)
Jeff, don't attack/make excuses because the Chargers beat you
Jeff (New York)
Maybe I will, Buzz. Maaaaaybe I will.
Matt (IN)
I can't believe no one's mentioned Willie Bloomquist. And you call yourselves baseball fans*
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
As long as you continue to attack Ryan's blatant homerism, you are welcome here, Jeff.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Okay, Ryan, that's two days in a row we've had to put up your with stupid San Diego B.S. Can it.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Exhibit B: Yuniesky Betancourt. Oh wait, he doesn't do anything well.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Oh no... New York vs. San Diego.
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Ozzie Smith made up for his lack of offensive ability by doing backflips.
JB (TX)
Andruw Jones was robbed of a gold glove* this year
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Dorn: As of 9am this morning, I reactivated myself
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
If the gold glove isn't filled with cheese fries, Andruw Jones isn't interested.
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
That's just fantastic. Nicely played Sir Mike.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Ryan from SD just assumed I was a Giants fan. I'm not and just thought it was funny someone thought Edgerrin James was the answer
Ryan (San Diego)
Tom is clearly bitter because he doesn't have a pro team and Michigan sucks
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Why are you such a hate monger?
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Dorn: "It says here in my contract that I don't have to do any calesthetics I don't feel are necessary." Buzz has the same clause in his contract.
JB (TX)
That wasn't me on the Andruw Jones comment. Come on, fake JB, at least be funny. Or call Buzz fat.
Justin (Ohio)
Ahh the old stand by. Haven't been posted in a while just make an Andruw Jones joke.
Nate (Madison)
Ryan is like our Stephen Jackson.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Look at his starting RB's numbers. I'd be hateful too.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Ben's story reminded me why I don't listen to the local sports radio shows. National shows are okay, but the local ones seem to be way too caller-heavy, and most of the callers are talking out of their, uh, ignorance, if you know what I mean.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Hmmm... cheese fries.. yummy
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)
Yes, yummy indeed.
Tim (Kansas City)
Is it too early for Roger Dorn poster night? Best quote of ML2
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I love the local Omaha show. The guys are hilarious. The callers...yeah they mostly suck.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Which leads to lunch chat!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Sandwich, chips, and a soda.
Nate (Madison)
The best call I ever heard was this one that Brian had me listen to. Some drunk Brewers fan called and left a voicemail with a local station just ranting, you could hardly understand him but it was hilarious.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Clinton, couldn't agree more. But then you get homers like that caller that make me laugh.
Buzzmaster (10:51 AM)
We've got Travis Ford coming up in the Big 12 chat at 11. Here's the link - http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/29390/big-12-coaches-chat
Greg (Ellicott City)
Lunch: Tuna salad salad.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Brian had you listen to that because he wanted to know if you could tell it was him.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Lunch: Orange chicken with rice, unsweet tea.
Greg (Ellicott City)
When did Brian leave that message?
Mike (Belvidere, IL)
Lunch: Half price burgers at the sports bar across the street. Half the price, all the burger.
Nate (Madison)
Lunch: Think I'll go with PBandJ's and save the extra tacos for tonight.
jill (norman)
I really don't see why AI has to practice and he should always start, so I'm with himm all the way. He's like the Rickey Henderson of b-ball.
Buzzmaster (10:52 AM)
AI is not even close to Rickey.
Justin (Ohio)
Mac and cheese with a hot dog for lunch.
Buzzmaster (10:52 AM)
One of the best combos ever.
Jordan (Oh)
Lunch: Grilled CHEEEEEESE and tomato soup
tom* (parkville, md)
Lunch = Salami and ham on rye.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Lunch: Cold pizza and random flavor of yogurt and Halloween candy.
Andruw Jones (Texas)
Cheese fries in my gold glove along with two big Macs,
jill (norman)
Salad bar from ESPN cafe.
JB (TX)
Lunch: $5 footlooooong. Also, happy 47th to the ultimate cougar, Demi Moore. Mmmm...Demi Moore.
Ben (Tempe, AZ)
Lunch: Overpriced footlong
Jordan (Oh)
I believe buzz just flexed his proverbial chat muscles with the hyperlink
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
Coach Ford is right out the door ready to go.
Justin (Ohio)
That sounds great Jordan. You may have changed my mind.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Cold pizza is straight up nasty.
Nate (Madison)
AI talks a good game but when it comes down to it he's exactly what's wrong with basketball at times. All "me...me...me" and if I don't get my way I'm taking my ball and going home.
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: Healthy Choice Chicken Parm. It's been raining for 24 straight hours and I refuse to go outside.
JB (TX)
Most disappointing Tom lunch ever.
Jordan (Oh)
Can i nominate Wale for a grammy? a gold glove?
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Agreed, JB. My wife was too busy to cook dinner last night, so no fun leftovers today.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Since Buzz is kicking us out early, adios everyone.
Tom's Wife (West Bloomfield)
Sorry, just tired of cooking for your lazy butt all the time.
Steve (Dallas, TX)
JB (TX), I was going to say the same thing. Why did his wife not make any good leftovers least night?
Nate (Madison)
Tom: Moderate work!
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
