Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden will join out chat starting at 10 a.m. ET! He's going to be the emcee of the inaugural enshrinement ceremony for the Black College Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Buzzmaster (9:59 AM)
Jon's here!
Kyle (VA)
Jon, do you still maintain your early hours now that you're not coaching?
Jon Gruden (9:59 AM)
I sure do. I have an office set up here in Tampa. I call it the FFCA - Fired Football Coaches of America. We're up early and we're after it.
JJ (AL)
Jon, how did you get involved with the black college hall of fame? And who can we expect to see enter the inaugural Hall?
Jon Gruden (10:00 AM)
Some of my best friends in football came from different black college schools. Doug Williams, Reggie Barlow, Albert Lewis. Many of the guys I respect in football come from those schools. I wouldn't be surprised if Deacon Jones has a large say tomorrow night.
Mike L (Chester, PA)
What is the greatest obstacle you've had to conquer?
Jon Gruden (10:02 AM)
I think the greatest obstacle is dealing with the defeat. In any life, you're going to get knocked down. I got fired. But coming back strong. Dealing with defeat is an obstacle. I don't really look at this job as having obstacles. It's just what I love to do.
Jon Gruden (10:02 AM)
Another obstacle is the double corner blitz. And the spread option is making life miserable for defensive coaches.
Vicki (Indiana)
What you miss most about coaching?
Jon Gruden (10:03 AM)
I miss the players. I miss teaching. I miss pushing a guy. I miss the comraderie of the lockerroom and the airplane rides. But the job I have now allows me to continue to do a lot of that. I miss the thrill of victory the most.
Mike (Ohio)
Alright Coach, let's settle this: Brady fumbled, didn't he?
Jon Gruden (10:03 AM)
Mike, you're exactly right. Who in the hell ever heard of a tuck rule until that night?
Todd (Anchorage)
Coach, considering your success in developing quarterbacks, I'm curious how much weight you put on the Wonderlic Test when evaluation college qb's. Thanks-
Jon Gruden (10:04 AM)
I would have done a better job developing QBs if we had Manning or Brady. The Test is important, but really football intelligence is what matters. The last time I took a Wonderlic, there wasn't one football question on it. So I don't rely heavily on that.
Tom (Kingston Ontario)
Huge Bucs fan , thanks Jon for the great years of service. I am puzzled that Derrick Brooks first off was cut then no one picked him up. At the start of the year did you feel he was done??
Jon Gruden (10:05 AM)
That's still a surprise to me and a huge disappointment. Some times teams are reluctant to sign NFL veterans that have played as long as he has. He's a first ballot hall of famer. Great man. I hope you get a chance to meet him someday.
Mike Vick (Philly)
Hey Jon where am I gunna being playing this year??
Jon Gruden (10:06 AM)
I don't know. His contract says the Eagles, so I'll stand by that.
Matt (Chicago)
Jon - Thanks in advance for taking my question. It's been nearly 10 years since you were ranked one of the 50 most beautiful people. Where do you think you stand on that list currently?
Jon Gruden (10:07 AM)
I'm 87th. Right below Brad Pitt. Three notches below.
Trent (Chattanooga)
Jon love your work on MNF. I am 25 and coming up on my 4th year coaching high school football. What advice would you give to a young coach who wants to improve and how to go about doing that. Thanks.
Jon Gruden (10:08 AM)
I wish you could come down to my FFCA meetings and join us. Find some guys that you respect in the profession and knock on their door and see if they'll talk football with you. Get a grease board and talk. Drill books, fundamental tapes. Anything you can get your hands on. Budget your time to find time to study this game.
dave boston
how excited are you to be a part of this ceremony Saturday?
Jon Gruden (10:09 AM)
I'm very excited. I'm honored. When you just write down the names of the great players that have attended the schools that we're honoring, it's astonishing. If you've ever stepped foot on Grambling's campus or to South Carolina State or Florida A+M, you'll agree that there are proud football traditions at all of these schools.
Dave (LV)
The Bucs struggled this past year. What do you think of Josh Freeman? What would you do to develop him?
Jon Gruden (10:10 AM)
I like Freeman. I liked him at Kansas State. I think he's going to be a very good QB. He's got mobility. He's charasmatic. Stay away from the interceptions and master the offense. His upside is huge.
Eric (Chicago)
What's up Chucky? Jon, as much as I liked seeing you prowl the sidelines, hearing you, Tirico and Jaws in the booth has been one of the best trifecta's for MNF since the days of Patrick/Theisman/Maguire. I'm sure you love coaching, but what you're doing now only adds to the strength of the MNF team. Keep up the good work. Also, what's your offseason like now that you're a broadcaster?
Jon Gruden (10:12 AM)
Thanks Eric. I really like broadcasting, but there is pressure. I need to work on my vocabulary. I need to come up with some three and four syllabel words like Jaws. The offseason is great because it gives me a chance to study college tape. Meet with college coaches, pro coaches. Study things I haven't studied before. Also, work with my three sons and coach them. Get some of my priorities in life in order.
Awayne (INDY)
Who watches more tape Jaworski or Manning?
Jon Gruden (10:12 AM)
Peyton Manning. Although Jaworski does a lot of work. You've got to love that about him. He's a grinder. If I were to coach again, he'd be the first guy I try to hire.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Are you a fan of the Wildcat offense or do you see it fading into the sunset like the Wishbone?
Jon Gruden (10:13 AM)
I am a fan of the Wildcat. You have to know how to defend it, that's for sure. But if you have a Wildcat that can throw, we might change the name from Wildcat to Terminator, because that will create a whole new set of problems. Maybe Tim Tebow rings a bell.
Jon Gruden (10:14 AM)
Thanks for checking in today. We all probably miss football right now, but with the draft coming up, it's an exciting time. If you ever bump into me in an airport or restaurant, be sure to say hello.
Buzzmaster (10:14 AM)
Thanks Jon!
Buzzmaster (10:15 AM)
He's such a cool guy.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz you need to take after Jon, start working out, maybe you can get on that list...HAHAHA, sorry couldn't say it with a straight face.
Marc (Charlotte)
Reason #128945 why the MB is better than Your Take. Buzz gets us awesome guests like Coach Gruden.
Mark (Da Burgh)
Buzz!!!!! are we gonna keep chatting?!?!?!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
He is also the hottest man in football.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Goooooooooooooooood morning!
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
Goooooooooooood morning!
Scott (Brewtown)
Typical timing, I show just in time to see him say so long.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Thanks for that solid start to Casual Friday chat, Buzz. Sounds like Mr. Gruden is a heck of a guy.
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
He's fantastic. The "Fired Football Coaches of America"? That's great.
Awayne (INDY)
Gruden makes a nice start to the weekend.
Marc (Big D)
Buzz, you do a great Jon Gruden impression.
LadyBuzz (BuzzMansion)
I think so too Buzz!
Matt (IN)
Good morning all. There are Junior Achievement kids shadowing us at the office today. I should introduce them to screwing around on the internet while at work.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I would discuss my thoughts on the Wisconsin game last night, but it would involve language that is not allowed in this chat.
Vicki (Indiana)
That was a cool chat! Who's next?
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
Uhhhh, me. Sorry about that.
Clay (Charlotte)
Good, you should be sorry.
Joey (DC)
We were wondering who is lined up next, since we can't see behind you...
David (Ottawa)
Morning MBers....Almost had to do work from 10-11 with Chucky chatting.
Ben (SW Ohio)
Starting this morning off with the silence of the law library
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Gotta give you an "Oustanding work!" for landing Coach Gruden this morning, Buzz. Happy Friday, everybody!
Scott (Brewtown)
Wisconsin loses, Marquette loses, it's still February, there's still a foot of snow on the ground, but hey, it's Friday!!!!
Marc (Big D)
I think I may break my movie hiatus to see Shutter Island this weekend. Scorsese and DiCaprio have been pretty darn good together.
Marc (Charlotte)
Don't sell yourself short, Buzz. You are a tremendous slouch.
Awayne (INDY)
From Gruden to Buzz, kinda like U2 opening for the 6th place American Idol contestent.
Brandon (Minnesota)
Wow Jon Gruden! He's awesome! Whats up buzz?
jarrod (tower city pa)
I just heard Tiger Woods fooled around on his wife
JB (TX)
So who else is hyped for the Tiger Woods news conference? Oh, that's right, no one...
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
There's no news conference today.
Clay (Charlotte)
Scott, two words, move south...wait it was 19 deg when I left the house this morning...scratch that.
Vicki (Indiana)
I want to see Tiger have tears streaming down his face and him on his knees begging for Elin's forgiveness.
chaz (sa tx)
i wonder if tiger is nervous and has to imagine everyone being naked in front of him. .. would that be counter productive considering his "sickness"?
David (Ottawa)
Awesome trade deadline yesterday. Gotta love the Knicks front office.
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
I can't wait for this summer when all of these teams have been making moves for the big signings and then all the big names re-up with their current teams and everyone making those moves gets stuck with crap.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
That is what my daughter said this morning Vicki. Maybe he is gonna announce his golf schedule.
Nate (Madison)
What's funny is Chicago unloaded players, probably won't get Wade and will be sitting there in a below average state with their junk in their hands.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Yay for the US whupping on Canada in the Olympics. 18 medals to 7.
Clay (Charlotte)
Buzz did you hear, Real Madrid has thrown their hat in the ring for the Lebron sweepstakes. They want to pair him with Ronaldo.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I can't wait for this summer for warm weather, I could care less about NBA teams.
Scott (Brewtown)
Probable Tiger statement: My knee feels great, the course looks great I like my chances.
The Suits (Bristol)
Stuck with crap? Yeah, we can relate to that.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Just heard this morning that we're supposed to get slammed again. Could be a wintry mix, could be 5 to 10 inches. Now that's the Suck.
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, I agree. Why would LeBron go to NY besides the media market? The team is HORRIBLE and worse off then his current Cavs team.
Marc (Charlotte)
Buzz, did you schedule some extra time for the Allyson Felix chat in case she is "running" late.
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
I don't think Allyson runs that slow.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
The fruit was awesome last night, liquid pretty good too.
Marc (Big D)
What if Tiger announced his retirement. That would have to be closest to the biggest shock ever.
Joey (DC)
Real Madrid could pay him well too.
David (Ottawa)
Hahahah, exactly buzz! I was talking about it with my brother last night, we both agreed that all these teams with cap space are going to end up getting boozer and rudy gay. Not too shabby, but not Wade, Bron, Bosh, Amare. Going to be a hilarious summer.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
Not to mention it seems like every team is trying to make cap room. But there are only so many big name players to get. So even if one of the players does move, there will still be many teams left out in the cold.
Chat Umpire (Bristol)
STRIKE ONE! On Clay for mentioning soccer.
Marc (Charlotte)
Out Cold... Underrated movie.
Matt (IN)
Bosh will leave. He's not gonna stay and play for that pulsey team.
Brian Billick (via mobile)
Buzzard, on behalf of the Fired Football Coaches of America, how about the ONB?
Buzzmaster (10:28 AM)
Let's give it a spin.
The Creeper (Madison)
Rastall is pond scum and Nate is dreamy!
corey (illinois)
anyone here
special ed (loserville)
i like fried chicken
Rich (Fort Lauderdale)
Are you still interested in coaching? Where would you like to end up?
lavel (greensboro)
well then! i Guess im in peoples
Malcolm Glazier (Tampa)
Hey Jon we may have been a bit hasty would you come back? I will even give you one of my sons parking spots.
RAYGORDON REID ( TULSA OKLAHOMA 74103 )
MY COMENT AT 10.35 AM RIGHT NOWBUZZ MY BOO ESPNDALLAS TEXAS
Buzzmaster (10:29 AM)
And that's it.....
Bill Clinton (Florida)
Rastall is pond scum on a good day
Mark (Da Burgh)
whats the everday normal guy equivilant to when an NBA player realizes that they are now an "expiring contract" guy...gotta be a tough revelation
Brandon (Minnesota)
Bosh is going to the knicks. It makes too much sense.
Godish (Chicago)
Nate bashes Illinois/Chicago, yet he comes here about once a month. Very interesting....
Scott (Brewtown)
The Bucks actually took on salary this time, they however, are the definition sucktitude.
Clay (Charlotte)
That's true Buzz, but at least the owners/GMs can then tell their fanbase that they tried. That buys them a couple years of pulsyness.
Brian (Madison, WI)
If these NBA teams got extra cap room, I'm eligible to be signed. I'll take a smooth million and they'll still have leftovers.
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
Heck. I'll take the league minimum. That's, what?, 400K?
jarrod (tower city pa)
South Park.... Imaginationland...underrated TV trilogy
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Thanks for giving it only one spin, Buzz. Any more and I may have vomited on my keyboard.
Clay (Hillsdale, MI)
So a British bookmaker set the odds on Tiger retiring at 100 to 1. I think I'd take that, I could see him pulling a Farve today (retiring, only to come out of retirement in time for the Masters or Open).
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
No pond scum? The creeper doesn't count.
Nate (Madison)
(Knocking on wood) haven't heard or seen the creeper yet today.
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
She's planning a big surprise for you. Gonna make a grand entrance before the end of the day.
JB (TX)
Buzz, you can't just get the league minumum for being fat. You would have had to exhibited some athletic ability at some point in your life. I'm just sayin...
David (Ottawa)
452k buzz.
Jake Taylor (Cleveland)
Buzz, I make the league minimum too!
Nate (Madison)
Buzz, I hate you.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
maybe she's out getting "gussied " up for you Nate.
Epic Fail (thy name is Buzz)
There was a pond scum post...and Buzzard missed it. FAIL.
David (Ottawa)
Bosh to the knicks makes sense how? Let's see....let's go to a team who is worse then the raps, with no PG, already filled PF spot with an all star and no real future plan. Yup, makes total sense.
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
But it's NEW YORK!
jarrod (tower city pa)
The only reason to go to New York is to sit in traffic.
Clay (Charlotte)
I think I'd rather go to LA, play the 5 while Griffin plays the 4...hope you can land LBJ.
Nate (Madison)
I think the whole "but it's New York!" thing is a little overplayed now with technology now days. I think it'd be funny to see the Clippers some how snag LeBron or someone.
Mark (Da Burgh)
jake taylor had to be making at least $250,000 when we played for the Indians...and he was still driving around that crap car? where was his money going?!
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I'd rather play in Miami than New York.
Brian (Madison, WI)
Mark.....strippers and booze.
Vicki (Indiana)
I would love to see Times Square in person at least once.
Buzzmaster (10:37 AM)
It's pretty impressive the first time you go. I took the subway into Times Square the first time I was there and when I walked up out of the station, there was an all-out assault of the senses - the noises, smells (some good, some not so good), the bright lights made it look like Vegas.
Brandon (Minnesota)
Minnesota has a lot of cap space coming up. Wouldnt be surprised if we snagged a big name.
Marc (Charlotte)
Brian, he wanted to know where Jake's money went, not you and Nate's.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Agreed, Nate. The "it's New York" thing made sense when there was only three or four channels and no internet, but now with every game on cable, I don't think it matters anymore.
Harry Doyle (Cleveland)
Just a bit outside! Tried the corner and missed. Ball 3, Ball 4, Ball 8, Ball 12 and Vaughn has walked the bases loaded on 12 pitches. I don't know how these guys are laying off of some of those.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
It looks better on TV.
jill (norman)
Buzz has had too much Nyquil. He keeps dozing oof.
Nate (Madison)
GAG.....just got a huge dose of old lady perfume.....
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
The Creeper's back!
JB (TX)
Times Square was awesome the first time I went (1994, I believe). I knoew I was in NYC when some dude tried to sell me a gold chain.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Keeps dozing oof because he had too many hoot dogs yesterday.
Buzzmaster (10:40 AM)
No. Didn't have any hoot dogs yesterday. But scoped out where I'm going tomorrow to get some for lunch. LadyBuzz is working, so it's a perfect reason to go out for lunch.
Nate (Madison)
No, not here. Some lady just walked by and crop dusted me with her perfume...it's that overpowering old lady smell...
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Oh my god...that...that's the Creeper's music! Business is about to pick up! /Jim Ross
Scott (Brewtown)
The creeper is Betty White?
Bryan (Texas)
A couple grandslams, and they're right back in this thing!
Willie Mays Hayes (Cleveland)
The American Express card - don't steal home without it.
stephanie (cincy)
I LOVE New York. LOVE it.
Marc (Charlotte)
Wait, you usually have lunch with LadyBuzz? So LadyBuzz works at ESPN too?
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
On Saturdays? Usually.
Steve (NJ)
HOF acceptance speech (such that it is) is now online. I'm proud to be an afterthough...member. Member.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
I'm going to Five Guys for lunch tomorrow. Ohhh Boy
Eric (Chicago)
I took the train from Newark-Penn Station into New York and got out and looked up...darn neck started hurting looking in awe at how big New York really is...told everyone back home that Chicago is a suburb compared to New York. Did get a good round about look at NYC, very impressed and people were nice too.
Lou Brown (Cleveland)
Well Buzzard, you may run like Mays...wait a minute, no you don't...because, you know, you're fat.
Clay (Charlotte)
Can we stick with Major League 1 or Major League 2? The switching back and forth is confusing me.
JB (TX)
3 places lived up to the hype for me in this country: Times Square, Vegas Strip, Bourbon Street.
Zack (Louisville, KY)
Whoa. Lunch chat happens at 10 til, no matter when that lunch occurs.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
When does Glee start again, Steph?
Pedro Cerrano (Cleveland)
Hats for Bats, keep bats warm.
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
Is very bad to drink Jobu's rum. Very bad.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Obviously, it has to be Major League 1. 2 was pretty pulsey.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
Up yours, Jobu.
Eric (Chicago)
Also, didn't get too heckled when I work my Cubs jersey into Yankee Stadium for a Cubs/Yankees game...there to witness history: Jeter's 1st Career Grand Slam
Vicki (Indiana)
most sequels are pulsey
Clay (Charlotte)
Josh, you've obviously never seen Major League 3.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Times Square is much better now than it was years ago. I actually feel safe walking around there now. In the past, I wouldn't go without full body armor.
Nate (Madison)
You're telling me that Jesus Christ couldn't hit a curveball!
Awayne (INDY)
Cleveland was just voted the worst place in the US to live.So LBJ stays for what reason?
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
Because I'm sure the areas that they used to make the decision that Cleveland was the worst place to live are not the areas that LBJ is living in or hanging out in.
Indians Fan (Cleveland)
Oh no, no. It's gone...not its not...Too high, it's too high. Too high? What does that even mean?
Steve (NJ)
Major League 2 wasn't awful; Major League 3, on the other hand (which has been running nonstop on Encore this month) is pulse.
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
That's The Buzz or something like that.
Joey (DC)
Because he is the King of that city
stephanie (cincy)
It's shame that most people going to NY never see the REAL NY. The little cafes in the West Village, Ice skating at Bryant Park, sushi bars in the East Village, the Riverside park, the Cloisters. Times Square has a freakin' Olive Garden now. It's better than the porno theaters, but Olive Garden?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I'm not sure it was voted the worst place to live as a whole. I think you're referring to it being voted as having the worst overall weather.
The Creeper (Nate's Office)
Sorry I'm late everyone; I was busy making a garland of daisies to put on my boyfriend Nate's desk.
Harry Doyle (Cleveland)
Haywood is coming up to the plate, who is now leading the league in every offensive catagory, including nosehair.
Harry Doyle (Broadcast Booth)
Just a reminder fans about "Die Hard Night" coming up at the stadium: free admission to anyone who was actually alive the last time the Indians won a pennant.
Jack (NB Canada)
Have u been removed from an airplane for weight issues Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
Not yet.
JB (TX)
Porno theaters > Olive Garden
Crash Davis (Bull Durham)
Quit trying to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring and besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. They're more democratic.
Clay (Charlotte)
When I was in NYC, some friends of mine wanted to eat at a Sabarros...Seriously? You're in NYC and you want to eat pizza at a chain?
Mark (Da Burgh)
i took Elin not being at the presser at +120...lock it in.
Harry Doyle (Cleveland)
Haywood's a convicted felon, right Monty?
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)
"That's not in the notes here." They don't call you the best color man in the business for nothing.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Gambling on a press conference...only in America!
jill (norman)
The ad said The Office was on after the Olympics and I thought they meant last night.
Godish (Chicago)
We have tvs on here at work; CNBC most of the time. They've had a countdown clock for Tiger Talk for the past hour.
JB (TX)
Also, for purposes of the Tiger thing: Joslyn James > Holly Sampson
Zack (Louisville, KY)
So you get to watch the Olympics live.
Steve (NJ)
I honestly don't care about Tiger Talk - I'll read the high points later today.
Harry (the booth)
Dynamite drop in buzz, all those years of chat school are really paying off....
chaz (sa tx)
i took the over on sorry being said 15 times. mark +110
Monty (Cleveland)
Fly ball...caught.
Crash Davis (Durham, NC)
Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.
Brandon (Minnesota)
Lunch: Pizza, Apple, Milk
Clay (Charlotte)
Lunch: Moe's....if only to force someone making minimum wage to yell "Welcome to Moe's" when I walk in the door.
Buzzmaster (10:52 AM)
Ooooooh. Moe's. Love me some Moe's. That might supercede the hoot dogs.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Lunch: Got to run some errands today before I jump into weekend mode, so I'm thinking a trip to Five Guys is in order.
jarrod (tower city pa)
Colin Cowherd just said there are no coupons fors drugs
Pete (NC)
Moe's is only good on Mondays, when you can get a Joey Bag of Donuts, chips, and a drink for $5.
Joey (DC)
Lunch: Skipping to have a telephone interview for a job paying 20.5k. Eat that!
David (Ottawa)
Lunch: In my belly.
Steve (NJ)
I had hoot dogs for lunch 3x last week - I'm not allowed to commit that brand of slow suicide for at least another month.
Scott (Brewtown)
Lunch: No idea, but for the first Friday of Lent, dinner will be one large all you can eat fish fry.
Eric (Chicago)
Lunch: no meat for me today...thanks Lent...so I'm sure I'll be getting some fish somewhere today
Godish (Chicago)
And yes, I've been watching live Curling and Hockey the past few days. It's nice work here.
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
Me too. I'm happy to get the Curling/Hockey channel, aka USA.
Jack (NB Canada)
Lunch Pizza and live Olympics
David (Ottawa)
20.5k? Isn't that right above the poverty line? I'm curious as to what you make now if thats the promotion...
jill (norman)
Never teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
JB (TX)
Lunch: Fake remorse, covered with halfhearted apologies, followed by feigned outrage. Also, I volunteered months ago to be Elin's rebound guy, but I haven't made any progress. Can you get a hold of her for me, Buzz? Thanks, dude...
fred (omaha)
buzz thats wrong i grilled 2 packs of hoot dogs for us, oh well guess ill meet you at moes
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
I hope the US smokes Canada in their national sport.
Matt (IN)
Lunch will be pizza if I can manage to avoid the JA kids.
Scott (Brewtown)
Nearest Moe's is 22 miles from my house in Pewaukee WI. Worth the trip???
Buzzmaster (10:56 AM)
That's, what?, half hour? Probably.
Bryan (Texas)
Lunch: ....hmmm.... I hope that twinkie is still on the floorboard.
Awayne (INDY)
Lent bumper sticker.. Eat Cod for God
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Lunch: Probably just a bagel with butter. I already miss meat on Fridays.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Gonna get on out of here for today. Thanks again for getting Jon Gruden, Buzz. Great way to end the chat week. Until Monday, get out, have some fun, and stay safe. Peace and please don't pop up or Lou may make you do some push ups.
Ben (Madison, WI)
Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. Conway Twitty. It's been a looooong time, since I chatted.
Clay (Charlotte)
Yes Scott, totally worth the trip.
stephanie (cincy)
I volunteer to be Tiger's rebound gal
Eric (Chicago)
Nate, where are you taking the Creeper for lunch?
Steve (NJ)
Man am I glad I got into the re-innaugural chat week.
JB (TX)
Oh, almost forgot, Happy BDay to 80 hottie Mallory Keaton, aka Justine Bateman.
Hassan (Texas)
Does any one care about tiger woods?
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
Three minutes until Tiger speaks. Ooooooooooohhh......
Buzzmaster (10:58 AM)
.........who gives a crud. But still gonna watch.
David (Ottawa)
I'm out like Jake Taylor's knees after winning the pennant. Have a good weekend MBers, stay thirsty.
Robbi (Clinton, Ky)
Lunch: Ham sandwich, Fruit, ice water.
Joey (DC)
He's already had a golf club used as a weapon, I don't think he wants to switch to knives Stephanie.
Vicki (Indiana)
Can those not eating meat have Bocca Burgers and the like?
jill (norman)
Is this after the Olympics too.
Scott (Brewtown)
Have a swell weekend everybody. And remember....My knee feels great, the course looks great, I like my chances.
Steve (NJ)
Have a weekend, Buzz.
Josh (Lincoln, NE)
