Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
Gooooooooooood morning!
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
It's Friday the 13th. Tread lightly people.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Good morning, Buzz Nation. Did anyone else find it amusing that we talked about the Toy HOF here yesterday and "The Office," centered around a game?
Jason (Tampa)
YAYY.. Its 10.. Friday Morning Buzzz
Eric (Chicago)
Jay Cutler sucks! There, just wanted to get that out of the way. At least the Bears can't embarrass themselves on Sunday now!
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
You know its going to be a good day when someone brings in bagels to the office
Matt (Portland, ME)
Good Morning all. Ok Bears fans, now you can call for Cutler's head.
al (dc)
odds Alex Smith is still not good at football?
James (Callington Ridge Va)
The Bears/Niners game was painful to watch. I think Cutler should refund some of his salary. You can't blame it all on his recievers or o line. He is making some bad decisions.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
You mean like throwing into triple coverage on the final play of the game?
al (dc)
buzz late on a friday, as typical as me being late for work on a weekday
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I am dressed all in black and grey in honor of Friday the 13th today.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Morning, all. I'm getting pumped for Cotto-Pacquiao!
Dylan (Lebanon, VA)
So does Duke have a chance of winning the championship this year? If so who will be the key guy? Other than Singler.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
No.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Starting today's MB with Beck's "Where It's At."
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
New bakery item in Chicago. Puff pastry and cherry filling. It's called 'The Red Zone Turnover,' in honor of Jay Cutler.
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
C'mon. You're better than that. That's turrible. Puff pastries with cherry filling have been around since the beginning of time.
Nick (School)
Akron Hammerrrr!!!!!
Eric (Chicago)
Matt, we called for his head before the trade...he is absolutely brutal!
Jack (Toronto)
Good morning I do declare
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
I do declare.
Clay (Charlotte)
Good Morning ladies, gentlemen, Buzz. TGIF.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
Buzz, you're fat, what do you know about treading lightly? Get a life!
Jay (NY)
Friday the 13th! The day is mine!
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Buzz, I can't think...I need more Mullens.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Buzz I think you witnessed enough evidence last night why all future Bears chats should be cancelled.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
Nope. Didn't.
Clay (Charlotte)
Nick, pay attention in class...you need it.
Clay (Charlotte)
Jack, you may not steal southern colloqualisms when you live in Canada.
Nate (Madison)
Down 16pts with 14 minutes to go. Came back to win last night, and decided to relieve some stress and pull a mini Nate and Brian to celebrate. Little hungover today, but feeling good.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
No one knows what you're talking about.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
The Office was pretty good last night, although I hoped they would delve into the whole "Michael might be crazy" suspicions a bit more.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
New poll in the MB FFL. The topic is favorite type of toy.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Clay: Jack can do whatever he wants, as long as he is quoting last night's Office episode.
Nate (Madison)
No Buzz, you're the one with the thick candy shell or yeah..uh...
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I missed the Office last night. What happened?
Greg (Ellicott City)
Can Nate or Brian even call it 'pulling a Nate and Brian'?
Buzzmaster (10:06 AM)
For them, it's just "living" Grason.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I tried to be responsible and go to bed early last night. I'm just as tired as normal.
David (Ottawa)
This convo I just had with my boss sums up government on a friday: Boss: Did you make coffee this morning? Me: No, I didn't. Boss: Oh, cause I thought I saw you go over there and make it...but you don't have too if you don't want too. Me: So I'll make some coffee now? Boss: Ya, that's a good idea.
Clay (Charlotte)
I apologize, I have not watch the new Office episode yet...I'm still not sure I'm okay with it, but I'll retract my statement.
Scott (Brewtown)
Oh yeah, the Toy HOF. Is the Top in there?
Bob (Charlotte)
Hopefully last nights woeful performance will put an end to any future bear chat. Now we need to work on plugging up the brewer chatting.
Marc (Big D)
You guys liked the Office last night?
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
Why yes, I do declare.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Top is not.
Greg (Ellicott City)
That is why no one likes Canada.
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
I think there are a whole bunch of 18-year-olds who live in border states who disagree with you.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I sure hope that conversation was sprinkled with plenty of "eh," David. Gotta maintain that Canadian street cred.
Kash (Philly)
Im I dont get NFL Network.. I would have cancelled it if i knew the 1st game of the season would be that turrible. Cutler is no Orton
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Robbi, The Office was pretty good last night, alot of good quotes in this one.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Marc: Excellent episode last night. Back to the days of wild things happening with no rhyme or reason.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, why is there a picture of the Mayor of Las Vegas under the Bert Sugar chat declaration? Google Image not available for you?
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
Because that's the fight Bert is covering. Did I really need to explain that one to you?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Crap. I didn't even DVR it. It's like I forget I have it.
David (Ottawa)
Are you kidding? The hardest thing I will have to do all day is make coffee...I love Canada, but only on fridays.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Fine. That is why no one except 18 year olds who live on border states likes Canada.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Robbi. Hulu it.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I don't get the NFL Network, but Sprint streams the game on my phone. Kinda neat, even though it drains the battery like no one's business.
Mike (Syracuse, NY)
Nadal or Thonga...Come on Buzz, you no sport wonder!
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Not sure I even know what you're talking about.
Nate (Madison)
Dazed and Confused is a great movie. Buzz, agree or disagree?
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Which one, the big time movie or your lifestory? The big time movie, yes.
mitchel (houston)
Buzz what do you think of Lebron not only ditching the number 23 after this year, but trying to get every team to do the same?
Buzzmaster (10:10 AM)
Good call, Mike.
Matt (Portland, ME)
I need to find something to do this weekend.
Mike Singletary (via mobile)
Even though we won, even I dropped my pants in disgust over Cutler's performance.
Jack (Toronto)
David isn't lying. I worked a government job in Ottawa for four summers during university. It really is a joke.
Clay (Charlotte)
So I think that I was unfairly made fun of by my boss yesterday. I mis-identified a Peter Frampton song...I was born in 1984, I think I should get a pass.
Marc (Charlotte)
You're right, a picture of Bert Sugar wouldn't make sense at all.
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
He's coming to talk about the fight.
Ryan (San Diego)
Clay, you used that one in the KC Joyner chat yesterday.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Bert Sugar is one of the coolest old guys on the planet.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Agreed.
Kash (Philly)
Free UFC this weekend and Cotto-Pacman... What a good weekend for the bar and a little Sunday house party.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
No pass for you, Clay. Without that kind of tough love, how will you ever learn?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Spun sugar (aka Cotton Candy) is one of the tastiest treats on the planet.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
Clay, we talked about that yesterday. That's 5 yards for a repeat post. It remains 1st down.
Kid N Play (Blockbuster Video)
Someone say House Party?
Ryan (San Diego)
Eagles fans are everywhere. They have invaded the city, ugh
Matt (IN)
I cracked up when KC Joyner asked "Am I the only one who gets these chat refs?"
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Does Bert Sugar have his Fedora and cigar?
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
I don't think he leaves the house without one.
Marc (Charlotte)
SVP had a nice chat yesterday.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Will we be talking about toys today, Buzz? You promised we'd get back on that topic today.
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
I haven't seen anyone say anything about it. Have at it.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
No repeated topics are allowed in here, J.B. Now, who is going to a wedding this weekend?
Greg (Ellicott City)
Favorite toy: slinky
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
That one's in.
Dave (vt)
And they are always the loudest and most annoying of all the fans in the place arent they Ryan. Same problem here
Jason (Tampa)
Im in a confused state for planning for New Years: Go to New York and have fun or Stay in Tampa with a Possible Penn State Bowl nearby (Capital One or Outback)
tomwit nj [via mobile]
Im not comfortable chatting with Canadians. Round bacon? 3 downs to go 100 and TEN yards? What are you trying to prove? And poutainne is just disco fries.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
KC is a great chat host. I wonder how the flag football game went?
Nate (Madison)
No weddings. Tailgating for the game for a bit tomorrow. Then all three Great Dane Pubs are having $1.50 pints all day for their 15th anniversary, game on.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
It's a damn shame that Hot Wheels aren't in the Toy HOF. They better be inducted soon.
David (Ottawa)
GI Joe = greatest toys ever.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good Morning. Happy Friday the 13th. Phone calls to attend to and now I am free for the next 30 minutes.
Kevin (OH)
Kind of scary what this generation's hall of fame toys will be...xbox, playstation, xbox360, playstation2...xbox 361, playstation 3 etc
Nate (Madison)
Remember Micro Machines?
Jason (Chicago)
Speaking of toys, do they still make micro machines?
Brian (Madison, WI)
Buzz I like how you went from the case of the Mondays and barely said a word to Friday where you are commenting on everything.
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
Life is cyclical.
mitchel (houston)
When I was 6 my parents got me a Dukes of Hazzard inflatable General Lee for Christmas. I blew it up and then jumped on it and popped it. It didn't even last an hour. I have been angry ever since!
Buzzmaster (10:19 AM)
We're starting to get a deeper understanding of your 'roid use, Mike.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I fail to see why that's scary. Technology has improved and become more affordable. It's not like you got a ton of exercise with a hot wheel.
David (Ottawa)
Whoa tomwit, let's not place all canadians and the CFL in a group. I hate that league just as much as anyone else, and will refrain from pointing out that an American city once won the Grey Cup.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Star wars toys should be in there.
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Favorite Toys: Transformers.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Remote control cars!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Life is cyclical . . cycles are round . . . Buzz is round.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
How about those electronic football games where the players just spun around on the vibrating field and you had those tiny foam rubber footballs? That should be in the toy HOF.
Brian (Madison )
Hotwheels
Brian (Madison, WI)
Nate didn't invite me for drinks last night so I don't think he deserves one of these Wisconsin-Michigan tickets sitting on my desk.
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Get over it. Like you need an invite to go drinking.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I saw a kid riding a bike the other day. That's something you don't see too much anymore.
Bryan (Ohio)
Transformers were awesome, i was also a big WWF action figure fan
Jack (Toronto)
tomwit, it's us that should be asking why Americans changed the original rules of football to four downs?
Matt (IN)
Star Wars toys definitely belong. I remember when I was a kid my friend bit the head off of my Luke Skywalker. It didn't bother me. I still have all of those. Saved them for my son.
Kash (Philly)
Anyone watch Survivor?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Sandboxes were always fun growing up.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I know, I was just thinking up an excuse not to give Nate one of the tickets.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
And that's all you could come up with? You're better than that.
Ryan (San Diego)
Brian, that's like having the 6th hottest ticket in town
Matt (IN)
Wow J.B., totally forgot about electric football. That was an interesting game.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Actually, watching the horrific play of Rich Rod's team sounds like a fitting punishment, Brian.
Jack (Toronto)
Table top hockey. Done and done.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
You mean air hockey?
Electronic Football Announcer (Parts Unknown)
HE'S TO THE 30 TO THE 25, UH OH, BACK TO THE 30, OH, TO THE 25, BACK TO THE 30....
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Do swing sets count as toys?
dave (home)
rockem sockem robots thats all i have to say
Matt (Portland, ME)
Reality TV is the pulse Kash
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
You kept the heads of your Star Wars figures to give to your son? Is that your version of a warning, Matt?
Nate (Madison)
UMMMM what? Brian said he had no interest in drinking. He said he had to move office stuff all day and if he drank he would have fallen asleep immediately last night. Plus I only went to this VIP lounge called basement...as in my two buddies basement.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Oh those purist Canadian footballers...
Scott (Brewtown)
Table top hockey? With the guys on metal rods and spinning out of controls?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Cats in a sandbox, not so great.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
The Nerf Basketball set that you put on your door is the best.
mitchel (houston)
Electric football was horrible! They would go in circles for 5 seconds and then you would have to set them all up again!
Jason (Tampa)
I remember my first toy in the U.S (came from india), my uncle got me Nintendo 64, played Donkey Cong 64 all night long
Nate (Madison)
(agreeing with Johnstone)
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
It's all a conspiracy. LBJ isn't really trying to ditch #23, he just knows it's retired in Chicago and #6 is available when he signs with the Bulls. he's trying to give moral support to Jay Cutler.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
My son and I would be cleaning up his room, collecting all his Star Wars figures. Me: Where's Darth Vadar? Him: He went on vacation. I will always remember that.
Jack (Toronto)
Scott got it right Buzz. Many a fight would result with friends over that game.
Matt (IN)
Hahaha, it was only Luke who was beheaded. I don't know what became of his head, but headless Luke is in a bag with the rest of those Star Wars guys somewhere in my son's room.
David (Ottawa)
And the boss just poured rancid milk into her coffee...gotta love karma.
Matt (Portland, ME)
I was sad when I broke my Nerf by dunking off the basement steps.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Anything Nerf does is pretty great. Can't think of a bad Nerf product.
Nate (Madison)
I still have hundreds if not thousands of basketball, baseball, and football cards in my parents basement. What the hell am I suppose to do with them?
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Sell them. There's still a market for them.
Darth Vader (Sunny Tattooine)
Yes, I'm on vay-kay until Thanksgiving. Please leave a message.
Jason (Tampa)
Nate, two words E, Bay
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
They also had a Monday Night Football game where you had little record albums and a player. The person on offense chose a play and the person on defense got to choose a defense by looking at the other side of the little record, spinning it, and then pushing down the record. I loved that game. Anyone else remember it?
Steve (Dallas, TX)
My most addicting video game was James Bond 007 on Nintendo 64.
Nate (Madison)
I may have just found my future job for the next 6 months.
Jason (Tampa)
Steve, Goldeneye? That game was ridonkculous
David (Ottawa)
I bought a auto Nerf shotgun this summer while I was on vacation up north. It shot 20 darts in about 5 seconds...great for when your buddy is sitting on the toilet with nowhere to go.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Good call Steve. In the days before online play, four friends and Goldeneye was awesome.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I remeber close and play, record players.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
I will see your James Bond 007 and raise you Tecmo Bowl.
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Yeah, Goldeneye...played for hours at a time. Sorry forgot the name. it has been what 10-15 years.
dave (home)
anyone mention the bigwheel?
al (dc)
Goldeneye >>>>> tecmo bowl
Matt (Portland) [via mobile]
Buzz, ONB
Jeff (Ohio)
ONB
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
Let's do it.....
Kenneth (Oklahoma)
Do you think if the Oklahoma City Thunder hired Byron Scott as a head coach, do you think Chris Paul would try and follow him, or would he stay in New Orleans?
Zack (Louisville, KY)
2 days, 10 hours until Pats-Colts
Jay reyes (Williamsburg, Brooklyn)
Since day one I've said it Cotto will knockout Pac by the six round. I applaud the media for such a great job in making it their bizness to cast doubt about Cotto's skills....Can't wait til tomorrow!
flyintaco (jay fl.)
i think that the bulldogs will overcome come the cubs but who knows.
Aaron (Grand Rapids)
Any chance the Bears fire ron turner? the guy uses the same plays every year, how about we use some imagination....
Mark McGwire (St Louis)
I will not talk about the past. Although I knew sammy was packing cork and Barry used the needle.
Jeff (Tenn.)
I love NFL football. But Thursday nite, can be much. Its kinda like a food you like a lot. You have it too often and it doesn't taste as good as you remember the first time.
Jay Cutler (Pick #5)
C'mon guys...stop changing uniforms on me.
John (Iraq)
I get tried of people talking about Texas not playing hard teams this year. They played them last year and got beat on a 30 yard play with in the end didnt get them in the Big Game. They sould have gone and not OKlahoma. This year they have the chance to make it and Texas haters are mad because they dont want Texas there in the Big Game because Texas has something to prove to the College Football that they where a beter team last year and they are the better team this year. I just wanted to get that out. PS sorry for the spelling
Todd Santee (Fort Wayne)
Beads, seriously - stop the Agassi bashing - basically who cares why the tennis brat dropped the book - other than Tiger who else gives so much back
lawrence (stowe vt)
As a bears fan this is the most disapointing season I can remember. At least with Sexy rexy or orton you expected these implosions, and them to cost you a few games, but cutler has been terrible
Jason (Ellicott City, MD)
I feel honored to make "Overheard" and be on the Sportsnation chat main page.
Mike Tyson (Via Mobile)
I actually hit that guy 4x. I would never hit Buzz in the stomach for fear of losing my hand.
Quentin (Green Bay)
So I saw I was nominated for MB Rookie of the Year Award. I feel honored to be considered for it, and even more honored because I've gotten a few votes. It feels awesome to be welcomed into you guys, but don't mention that I'm the only candidate for the award, because at least it means I better than nothing. I'd like to join the Facebook group, but I don't do Facebook or MySpace so I just browse the MB Facebook page.
Cameron (Charlotte,NC)
Since Collin does not like the nickname Akron Hamer. What is a better name that is new and is cool for Lebron
Brian (air bane) (Cleveland)
Do you think that the Arena football league will ever start again.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
And that's it....
Hutch (Delaware)
**standing O for the ONB**
Matt (IN)
So Quentin stalks the FB page? And you guys call fred creepy...
tomwit nj [via mobile]
I made a nerf woman. Shes so beautiful and I call he Nerfella. Mr. Potato heads covets her but Im on to him.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Sandboxes? No. Swingsets? Yes.
Matt (portland) [via mobile]
I downloaded a NES emulator a few weeks ago and now I just play Tecmo all the time. Asaddicting as ever
Marc (Charlotte)
Was I nominated for any MB awards?
Jason (Tampa)
wiffle ball set, classic but fun
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Side scrolling Mario games were terrific. So was Mario 64, though. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever played a bad Mario game.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
That ONB actually wasn't too turrible, unlike my pastry joke.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I'm going to the grandsons next playoff game tonight by myself. My guy is going to deer camp to eat squirrel soup. I gotta rethink this relationship.
Eric (Chicago)
By the way, passing time yesterday before watching the Bears complete meltdown...I have to say the UFL is not entertaining. At least Quinn Gray didn't throw 5 picks yesterday.
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Tecmo Bowl online and you don't need an emulator - Tecmo Bowl.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Eating squirrel soup >> high school football.
Eric (Chicago)
Tecmo Bowl and Baseball Stars on NES were the best! NHL '94 on Genesis was great! NFL 2K1 on Dreamcast was good too!
mitchel (houston)
Oh yes wiffle ball! Especially when they came out with the big fat red bat!!!
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
OK I really need to check the Facebook page. I keep hearing about this MB HOF but have never actually checked it out.
Jason (Chicago)
up up down down left right left right b a start = Extra 30 lives in Contra
Jacob (Dallas, TX)
TCU is EXTREMELY overrated!!!! When they can get off the jv schedule and play at least 3 GREAT teams and win, then I will feel that they are the #4 team in the country. Not a fan and think they are good but not GREAT or a BCS Contender.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
So what kind of texture does squirrel have?
Nate (Madison)
I remember the time Brian threw a football when we were tailgating outside our house by Camp Randall, the throw was so bad that it missed the receiver and hit some little kid in the head, decleating him and sending him into our garden on the side of the house. Mom/Dad were not happy with him. The next week, Brian through a ball through one of the house windows. Brian = Cutler.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Oh boy, there goes my work day.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Missed The Office last night. Got sucked into a MythBusters episode I hadn't seen before, then watched a show about the FBI's 10 most wanted.
suge (hartford)
So im the only dude that remembers Voltron? The greatest robot/Japanese giant monster thing ever?
Jason (Tampa)
Favorite football game had to be Blitz... you can commit like 5 personal fouls on the same play
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I love vintage video game chat. I look fondly back on the days I spent in front of my Commodore 64.
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
Ace of Aces ruled. So did 1st and 10.
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Suge, Voltron was great. There are talks about making a live action version of it since Transformers did so well.
Matt (IN)
Dr. J vs. Larry Bird. You could dunk all over the white fella....shatter the backboard and then the little guy would come out and sweep it up.
Hayden (Loga, Utah)
come on buzz, you gotta know about the secret play on john elway football!!
Robbi's Guy (Suburbs of Clinton, Ky)
Squirrels taste like chicken, just stringy.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
They actually killed, skinned and ate a rat on Survivor last night. Disturbing.
Nate (Madison)
I remember our buddy played Tecmo Basketball and would average like 65pts with Dale Ellis.
Cousin Eddie (Camper)
I gave up eating squirrel because they have high cholesterol. Hey Clark!
Brian (Madison, WI)
Nate must be still drunk. The throw was not bad. I just didn't realize the receiver coming off our porch had a handful of stuff so therefore my pass went through his hands and into the side of the kid's head. I apologized unlike the rest of the people that took off running.
Dave (vt)
I just shoot them, never had to eat one.
Nate (Madison)
Clark: Eddie, is this really tomato ketchup?
mitchel (houston)
John Elway = Awesome.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I know it's wrong, but picturing a pass just completely wiping out this kid is cracking me up.
Jack (Toronto)
Buzz, do you ever get the feeling that if we all left Nate and Brian alone in here to chat that they wouldn't really notice we were all gone?
Matt (IN)
Who didn't break a window playing sports as a kid? I can remember doing it at least 3 times.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I think Brian and Nate should make a movie.
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
They've made two - "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Dumb and Dumber."
Jason (Chicago)
Madison Dudes, Will be in Madison next weekend. What's the name of the bar where you drink out of the glass boots?
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Oh that's funny.
mitchel (houston)
"Brian = Cutler." MB Quote of the week.
Jay Cutler (Chicago)
Cmon michael, everybody knows I have a stronger arm than that guy. It's not even close
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Only did it once, Matt. It was my own house, and the "attitude adjustment" I received from my dad put an end to playing that close to the house.
Matt (Portland) [via mobile]
Threw a kickball at a passing car once and broke a window. Guy was less than amused
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I thought thay drank out of a Flamingo.
Nate (Madison)
Essen Haus/Comeback Inn, they are connected. It's $18 bucks for a "boot" of whatever kind of beer (from domestic to different Belgium/German beers). Think the boots are like 2L or so....they also have these HUGE steins but not sure how much they cost.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Isn't "The Hangover," a documentary about Nate and Brian too, Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
There you go.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Played lots of baseball next to my house growing up. Never did break a window. Probably because we used tennis balls.
Jason (Chicago)
Thanks Nate
Hayden (Loga, Utah)
how bout water balloon launchers? those are great. We usd to hang out about 100 yards from the school when dances got out, good times
Nate (Madison)
On the Eastside-ish of the capital. Good times there. But you have to play by the rules. Boot can never touch the table, if it does that person buys the next one. If the person after you finishes it, you buy. You have to start pounding on the table if someone is trying to finish it off.
Buzzmaster (10:45 AM)
That's annoying. I can't just go there and drink my beer in peace?
Dave (vt)
Knucklepuck + inside garage = broken window.
jill (norman)
I loved those Peyton Manning ads where he bonks the kids with the passes.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I had buddies in law school who would regularly get half yards of beer from a Bloomington bar. We convinced one friend one time to get a yard. Thing was crazy. He had to stand up and hoist it on his arm to drink it.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
In my subdivision, there was an empty lot. We had a ball field set up with bases and a backstop. Lots of fun was had there.
Scott (Brewtown)
I never broke a window, however on a terribly shanked punt, the football landed on top of a passing car. Nearly caused a wreck. The lady got out and screamed at us for like two minutes.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Buzz there are plenty of other bars to go to in Madison where you can drink a beer in peace.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, it's a tradition....but it's not that annoying....place is kind of loud, but its decent sized and there are people drinking in peace.
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
Got it.
Toronto (Toronto)
Huge beer = warm beer at the end. Ugh.
mitchel (houston)
True story. My Dad and I were playing wiffle ball in the front yard and I pitched to him and he lined the ball and broke a window in our house(yes a wiffle ball!!!). 20 minutes later my Mom came home and with a straight face told my Dad he was grounded!

That was the when Peyton hosted SNL. If you haven't seen it, it is definitely worth watching. Peyton was hilarious.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Beer makes me burp.
jill (norman)
What's fun is breaking a windshield on the practice range. Done it twice.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, are you not posting me because of the Bert Sugar comment or because I'm bringing pulse today?
Buzzmaster (10:48 AM)
Pulse.
Nate (Madison)
Comeback Inn is the side where it's a little more loud, Essen Haus is more of the restaurant and quiet area.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
If my wife ever tried to ground me, I'd just throw myself on the floor, kicking and screaming until she relented.
Eric (Chicago)
I was hitting tennis balls with a metal bat once and my neighbor 3 houses down had her sister over and they were in the driveway talking, my neighbor outside the car door and her sister in her car...needless to say I hit an opposite field pop fly in the street and hit the top of the car...that wasn't fun! Or was it!
Scott (Brewtown)
If you want to drink in peace, go to one of the 20,000 corner pubs where there is only two people, both with no jobs, family or teeth.
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)
No, I just wanted to have a beer and not have to remember all these rules.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Note to whoever is submitting anything to the MB: If you're not being posted it's ALWAYS because you're submitting Pulse.
Marc (Charlotte)
I don't know Buzz. The website where you can play all the old school NES games was post-worthy.
Buzzmaster (10:50 AM)
Didn't see it.
Tom's Wife (West Bloomfield)
That's a nice tantrum, honey. Outstanding work!
fred (omaha)
hi buzz to live you have to break the rules, lets go have a beer
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Well, I saw a commercial last night that the cheesy gordita crunch is back at Taco Bell, so I think I'll go get a couple of those.
Matt (Portland, ME)
Lunch: Pizza
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Lunch: Out food for the first time in a very long time. I'm thinking Jimmy John's.
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Lunch: Pizza
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
LUNCH: Taking an unusual route and heading to Sam's Club for a jumbo hot dog and soda. Great hot dog and outstanding price.
Jason (Tampa)
Lunch: i have an appointment set up in outlook to go to warehouse Deli with some co-workers
jill (norman)
Clinton, I didn't know you drive.
Buzzmaster (10:52 AM)
I didn't know he was legally allowed to drive anymore.
Jason (Tampa)
But to break rules meaning buying more beer thats not going in you mouth, not so fun
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, that's only if you are drinking the big boots. You can get just normal beers and sit there.
Buzzmaster (10:53 AM)
I might have to just go there, get the regular beer before I get the hang of the whole boot thing.
Marc (Charlotte)
Lunch: Probably some sort of Sub. More than likely a 5 dollar footlong, but I might go with Jersey Mike's today.
Eric (Chicago)
Lunch: Buffalo Wild Wings...yummy!
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Lunch: 5 miles
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
I think he is talking about driving his little scooter.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)
Lunch: Deep Dish Pizza, boss is ordering it for the office meeting.
Mike (Los Angeles)
I think I will have some Piazza for lunch!
Ryan (San Diego)
They have started opening up Jersey Mike's here in San Diego. Haven't been, is it any good?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Checking out a bit early today to see if I can find this MB HOF on Facebook. Great week of chatting everyone. Off to Happy Valley tomorrow with my daughter for Seniors Day. Hope we have a good time. Until Monday, get out and have some fun and stay safe. Peace.
Jack (Toronto)
Lunch: feeling like a Wendy's day. Get my Friday Fat on.
fred (omaha)
buzz let me know when you're going...ill meet ya!
Brian (Madison, WI)
Yeah if you don't get the boot thing at first it could cost you a pretty penny having to continuously finish the boot and buy the next one.
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People from Madison, Rich Rod is in town. Now you finally have lives.
Bob (Lowell)
Missed the whole week due to business trip to Florida. If today was like the rest of the week, I missed nothing.
Buzzmaster (10:55 AM)
This week, or the last two years that we've done this chat.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Everyone have a good weekend. Bye y'all.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Ryan, Jersey Mike's is good. It's a lot like Jimmy John's or Subway.
Hayden (Loga, Utah)
hooray beer!!
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Fred is really creepy.
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Jimmy Johns>Jersey Mikes
Bob (Lowell)
I think it's nice that Clinton thinks running around in his little Lark scooter chair consitutes driving.
Marc (Charlotte)
Ryan, its not bad. Little pricey but all in all ok.
jill (norman)
Bye, ya'll, hope the Sooners can win a game. The town is turning ugly.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
dos equis baby
Matt (IN)
Everyone have a great weekend. Eat drink and be merry, but remember that friends don't let friends bite the heads off of Star Wars figures.
Johnstone (Wicker Park)
Alright Buzz, have a good weekend and remember to wash your hands.
Marc (Charlotte)
I really would prefer Jimmy Johns right now, but I don't think there are any close.
Hayden (Logan, Utah)
I miss giving rastall crap
Jason (Tampa)
I started my day with 10 tasks to do, 2 hours done, 9 tasks left. And the one thing I did do was setting up an outlook meeting.
Scott (Brewtown)
Have a swell Friday the 13th and weekend everybody.
Nate (Madison)
Everyone have a good weekend! UW 28 Michigan 24. Rich Rod, I'm going to have a life this weekend, just might forget most of it.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Jason (Tampa)
Have fun everyone. For me: Staurday = beer, pizza and PSU football. Sunday = Busch gardens + beer.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Pats-Colts should be fun this Sunday night.
Buzzmaster (11:00 AM)
