  (9:57 AM)

Gooooooooooooood morning!

Buzzmaster

  (9:58 AM)

I figured I'd get this shindig started a bit early. No Lauren Jackson from the WNBA all-star team this morning. But Sue Bird will still be here shortly.

Mike (Orlando)

lebrons going to dennys....for breakfast.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!!! Looking forward to not paying attention to Lebron and finding out who won the lottery in the morning. My Royals are now 5-1 on the road and have gotten their first sweep of the season, so it is a good day for me.

Scott (Brewtown)

Good morning. I've just got to make it through two more days and I'm on vacation!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Actually I'm all excited about the big TV event tonight. I can hardly contain it. I mean, we get an extra night of "Wipeout!" What, did you think I was talking about LeBron's Big Ego Trip?

B (Boston)

It's good to be home again.

Tom (NM)

C'mon now, the guy claiming to be Lebron's father is coming out asking for money, where was this clown when LBJ needed a dad?

coyote (sa)

Buzz, you need to take a break. You've been working too hard this week. One whole chat to yourself in four days. Sit down and catch your breath!

Buzzmaster

  (10:01 AM)

For a four day work week, you guys are awfully grumpy.

Godish (Chicago)

Back from my GF's lake house in MI. Did I miss anything?

Eric (Chicago)

LeBron just went to the bathroom

Bob (Lowell)

Nice job of slacking off yesterday Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

We had Schefty chatting. I'm not going to be able to compete with him.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Looks like Sue Bird might be lurking around the corner.

Sue Bird

  (10:03 AM)

Hey everybody, let's get started. Thanks for coming!

AL (California)

Sue, as the starting pg for Geno for Team USA, does that give you tback he job description, "everything is your fault?"

Sue Bird

  (10:03 AM)

That hasn't been discussed yet, but I would assume that's the same. Maybe now that I'm older I can negotiate a little more. Hahaha.

Amits (Seattle, USA)

Hi Sue! I'm in Seattle visiting. Off the top of your head, what are the top 5 sites to see? (aside from the Storm, of course!)

Sue Bird

  (10:04 AM)

If you're a first timer, you should definitley check out the Needle, the underground city and if you have the time, take a ride on the duck. It sounds cheesy, but it shows you everything in just a few hours.

Shameeka (Ontario)

Sue, what is it like to be able to play for Coach Auriemma again? Does it make you feel like you're back in college?

Sue Bird

  (10:05 AM)

I think it's going to be great to play for him again. Obviously, he's a great coach and I know we're going to have a lot of fun on the court and hopefully bring back a gold medal. But I also know it will be enjoyable off the court as well.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Are you contractually obligated to drink Starbuck's coffee or do you secretly like some other kind?

Sue Bird

  (10:06 AM)

When Howard Schultz used to own our team, I used to be guilted into drinking Starbucks. But now I'm free to whatever coffee is availble. Now I'm on to Pete's.

Godish (Chicago)

Sue, what do you do during your down time before a game when you're visiting a city?

Sue Bird

  (10:07 AM)

Usually on game day, I'm all about rest. I get some food and I take a nap. But the day before, I like to get out, maybe shop. See a movie or visit with people from the other team that I know.

David (Ottawa)

Sue, where is the better competition in womens basketball, the US or overseas?

Sue Bird

  (10:07 AM)

No doubt in the U.S.

Sue Bird

  (10:07 AM)

That's why you see a lot of players coming over here to play.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Hello Sue. I don't know what to ask so I'll ask this: Where do you think LeBron is going?

Sue Bird

  (10:07 AM)

Who's LeBron?

Sue Bird

  (10:08 AM)

J/K. As a New Yorker, I hope he signs with the Knicks, but I have a feeling that he'll become the third of a the Big Three in Miami.

AL (California)

Sue, is there any significance of the #6 for Team USA or is it just because Catch has #10? How do numbers work for the USA team?

Sue Bird

  (10:09 AM)

It's because Catch has No. 10. 6 was the first number that was given to me on my first USA team and 10 wasn't available, so I stuck with it.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Professional Women's Basketball has managed to survive while other upstart pro sports have faltered. Hats off to you ladies for that but why do you think it has managed to do so well?

Sue Bird

  (10:10 AM)

I think we have a fan base that's really loyal. The talent level of our league gets better and better each year, therefore the product gets better and better. That combination allows us to get sponsors and keep going.

Jeremy (Dallas)

Sue, if Lebron disguised himself as a women (Like the movie Jawanna Man) would he/she dominate the league or could you guard him?

Sue Bird

  (10:11 AM)

He could probably beat me on the basketball court, but I would have better hair.

Dana (Washington, DC)

Sue, how's your back? Are you feeling like you'll be good to go for the second half of the season?

Sue Bird

  (10:11 AM)

Thanks for asking. My back is doing great. I feel just as healthy as when I started the season.

Mike (Orlando)

sue, if you could play with any other 2 players in the WNBA who would they be?

Sue Bird

  (10:12 AM)

I would take Lauren Jackson and Diana Taurasi. No brainer.

Jess (Australia)

Birdy, any chance we can get you tweeting or bloging again? Your blog with DT was interesting reading and hilarious.

Sue Bird

  (10:12 AM)

As of right now, I'm retired from the blog game. I don't think I'll ever Tweet in my lifetime, but you never know.

Jason (Tampa)

What is one idea that you have that can improve the WNBA?

Sue Bird

  (10:13 AM)

I would love to fly charter. But we all know that's not going to happen. I guess I shouldn't complain.

Scott (Brewtown)

We haven't got a team here in Brewtown, so how big have the crowds been on average for your games.

Sue Bird

  (10:14 AM)

From what I understand, every year attendance gets better. The crowds are really good.

Anaphe (Philippines)

How is it playing with different nationalities in your team?

Sue Bird

  (10:15 AM)

It's great. Luckily, for the most part, everyone speaks English, so language isn't a problem. And it's nice to experience someone else's culture and see things through their eyes.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

No tweeting? You mean you don't want the world to know every time you are making yourself a peanut butter sandwich?

Sue Bird

  (10:15 AM)

I don't eat peanut butter. ;)

Josh (New York)

Sue, after the season, if you could go on vacation where would it be?

Sue Bird

  (10:15 AM)

If I could go anywhere, I would want to go to Bali.

Sue Bird

  (10:16 AM)

Stay in a nice grass hut in the water.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

How is new york pizza better than chicago? I dont get it

Sue Bird

  (10:16 AM)

Well, then, you must not be a New Yorker. Thin crust is where it's at.

Clay (Charlotte)

Sue, gas or charcoal grilling for the summer?

Sue Bird

  (10:17 AM)

Well, because the WNBA takes place in the summer, so I don't get much grilling time. I'm no Bobby Flay, but I would definitely go charcoal.

Tom (NM)

Sue, are UConn players programmed to intensely dislike Tennessee since they seem to be the real competition to Geno year in and year out?

Jackson (WCH, OH)

Is there a particular song or artist that you listen to before a game to pump yourself up?

Sue Bird

  (10:18 AM)

Yes. There's actually a course taught at UConn, How to Hate Orange 101.....just kidding. You don't hate them, it's just the competition. Since we were the two best programs it's only natural.

Neal (Philly)

Sue, what's your favorite pop tart?

Sue Bird

  (10:18 AM)

I don't think I've had a pop tart since 1988. But my favorite breakfast food is Lucky Charms.

Sue Bird

  (10:19 AM)

Thanks everybody for stopping by. It's been real. See you on Saturday in the all star game, 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

Thanks Sue!

Scott (Indy)

Alright Sue Bird! Charcoal is where it's at! You would be surprised how many guest chatters won't take a stand on that particular issue!

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Funny how the chat ended after she said she hasn't had a pop tart since 1988

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

cmon sue, ya gotta get in on the p-tarts! Blueberry baby!!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Nice get there, Buzz. Sue was a good sport about the questions.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

See? All of my decisions aren't bad.

Scott (Brewtown)

That was swell, any others lined up Buzz?

Neal (Philly)

Buzz, any truth to the rumor you're signing with Stay Puft marshmallows?

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

No.

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz! Good Morning, late to the party (been busy this week) but hope you had a great fourth. Did do my first stint in the penalty box (read: slept on the couch) this weekend. After thinking long and hard I've decided...I'm buying a new couch.

Godish (Chicago)

Is it time for another Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway comeback in Miami?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Just got out of a meeting and got caught up. Good job to throw in a couple of our typical MB questions, folks!

Mojo (Highlan)

So Buzz did Sue ask you after she finished "who are these freaks and what is their fasination with food?"

Buzzmaster

  (10:23 AM)

No. But Schefty said something like that yesterday. Though he does like to grill. I was glad to have found that out.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I never said all of your decisions were bad, Buzz. I mean passing up free steak during Super Bowl week was Pure Pulse but other than that...

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

That is debatable.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

HAYDEN EATS PIE! HAYDEN EATS PIE! (I kid because I missed you guys.)

Tom (NM)

1988....that's a long time without a pop tart

Nate (Madison)

Buzz, you might have a coup on your hands.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

Why's that?

John (Lexington, KY)

I did a total of 2 hours of work yesterday and the Morning Buzz wasn't there to help me fill the time

Buzzmaster

  (10:26 AM)

We're going to chat and walk now....see how this goes.

Zack (Louisville, KY)

55% of SN is going to watch the LeBron Narcissism Hour?

Christian (High Point, NC)

Does anyone not like to grill?

Pete (NC)

Buzz, do you have a daily "The Decsion" special at the cafeteria so the chefs know how much of each food to make?

Vicki (Indiana)

I have food on the brain because I just came back from grocery shopping.

Joey (DC)

I always pictured Buzz as one of the people from Wall-E. Rolling everywhere.

Vicki (Indiana)

I'm watching the LeBron-athon just out of curiosity.

Pete (NC)

With no 11:00 chat lined up, we better be chatting longer.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

OK. Sorry about that.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Is appears Buzz has decided we would be chatting shorter, not longer.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

No. No. Just doing some other business.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

*knock knock knock* Buzz? *knock knock knock* Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

I'm here. I'm here. Don't worry. Y'all have earned some extra time.

Farve (Hattisburg)

I can't believe ESPN would broadcast this but only give me 45 min on Spoertscenter when I retired/returned.

Rich (Weymouth,MA)

looks like multi-tasking isn't your thing

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

Not at all.

stephanie (cincy)

Other business Buzz? Really? The MB is the only business you need to take care buddy

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

Very true.

David (Ottawa)

Buzz, are you going to drop the ball thar you're retiring on us?

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

No. You would like that too much.

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Business = making sandwiches

Christian (High Point, NC)

The decision to also chew gum was Buzz' downfall.

John (Lexington, KY)

Looks like the plan failed

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

I've discovered my laptop battery sucks. Need to plug in.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

almost had a mutiny! People went to first take and bake

Andy (Olathe, KS)

I hate having to work during TMB. Did I miss much?

Eric (Chicago)

Morning Business = Putting pop tart in toaster

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

hmmm. I could go for a sandwich right now... smoked turkey...

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

Had an awesome sandwich the other day....wait, no wasn't sandwich. It was cheese. Had some awesome cheese the other day. It was fondu with smoked gouda. Holy smokes that was awesome.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm late because of a meeting and I miss the Sue Bird chat. I'm upset, no asterick. The Adam Schefter chat yesterday I could care less that I missed.

Eric (Chicago)

Brett Favre should announce his comeback tonight at 8:58pm EST. That would be interesting.

Monday (Detroit)

Buzz doing other business=ordering fifty lbs of bacon on the internet.

Approval Ratings Guy (via mobile)

Buzz' approval rating has dropped an astounding 37 points in the past 2 days, and rumors are circulating that The Suits have made overtures to The Pulse about a comeback. This could get ugly folks. Stay tuned for further details.

chaz (sa tx)

we deserve extra time? what u expect us to thank you? i mean it is appreciated, but im not thanking u..

Scott (Brewtown)

I'm guessing that there's a vending machine that is a lot emptier now on campus in Bristol

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Laptop batteries are the pulse. Would you imagine if any other commonly used item has such a low useful time.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

You have to stop getting your computer equipment from drive-in movie theatre flea markets, Buzz.

Scott (Brewtown)

Well my son's little league season officially ended last night with a loss to finish 8-8. On the bright side my son had the highest average at .538, led the team in era at 2.12. The bad news is he moves up a level next year which means he'll be the little fish in the pond again.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

pop tart cart has no toaster?

Vicki (Indiana)

grilled cheese sounds good right now

Rich (Weymouth,MA)

T-Minus 3 days till cruise time. = already Mentally checked out @ work

Nate (Madison)

Buzz ran into that guy in the hall again.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

see what happens when you try and walk?

Neal (Philly)

Last weekend, I went to a restaurant in downtown Philly and got a sausage and lamb sandwich with sour cream. It was actually good. They also serve good microbrews.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Hayden are you ready to concede that pop tarts are a form of pie yet?

Noah (Batcave)

Newsflash: Cavs do a secret sign-n-trade with Lakers - Kobe for Lebron. That's right folks, you heard it hear 1st!

Vicki (Indiana)

That sounds good, Neal. I haven't had lamb in a good while.

Christian (High Point, NC)

The new Simmons article is fascinating. He's basically slaughters LeBron if he doesn't pick Cleveland.

Matt (IN)

Today I tried Subway for breakfast for the first time. Had the double bacon, egg and cheese, 6" flatbread. It was surprisingly good. I spiced it up with some green pepper and jalapenos.

Vinny Del Negro (LA )

LBJ is coming to the Clippers. He's going to say it's been his dream to play for me, and then everyone in Chicago is going to jump off the Sears Tower.

stephanie (cincy)

Bron is staying. I just feel it in my gut.

David (Ottawa)

Vacation starts today at 4. Off until the 20th. Time...is...moving...slowly.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

JB, when the PFAPFA makes a ruling, we stand by it. p-tarts are not pie. sorry

Clay (Charlotte)

Did you see the Man vs. Food where Adam ate the HUGE grill cheese with like 24 different types of cheese? I want one.

jillinho (norman)

I have to go a funeral today. Advice: Always keep a wedding/funeral outfit on hand for these type occasions.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

bron bron's dad (d west) wont let him leave

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I have the feeling he's staying, too. I mean, if he's leaving, wouldn't that mean tonight's special is basically just a 60-minute middle finger to Cleveland.

Rich (Weymouth,MA)

Bron to NY to start NY/MIA rivalry for the next 6 years

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I can't wait til this annoying speculation is finally over.

Nate (Madison)

Why does LeBron need to pick Cleveland? Please, help me out here. He's not from Cleveland, he's from Akron.

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Big Brother starts tonight Buzz, you watching?

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

Yup. Added it to my DVR list last night. Had to prioritize some stuff.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Josh: the speculation is over. Pop-tarts are pies.

LeBron (Greenwich, CT)

I have decided to go on live national TV to punch Cleveland in the mouth. Thanks.

Awayne (INDY)

Not the first time Cleveland has got a 60 min middle finger.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

If I took 12 days off I would have one helluva hard time coming back.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Guys, tonights special isn't really about Lebron. It is about Lebron being smart enough to know that everyone is so interested, that he can raise some money for charity and give the craziness a good purpose. I don't see why everyone is crushing him for this.

stephanie (cincy)

Best tweet on the topic of Bron: If he doesn't pick Miami, the fans will say it was because of BS pass interference call

Clay (Charlotte)

Clinton, though I agree, I think it was proven last year he can't win a title in Cleveland and that's what's important to him.

David (Ottawa)

you wear the same outfit to a wedding and funeral? That's awkward.

Christian (High Point, NC)

It's not choosing another city, Nate. It's the 1-hour special to announce you're leaving Cleveland.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Speaking of Big Brother, I saw the promo for it the other night, and I thought: How is CBS not getting sued by ABC for ripping off The Mole?

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Evidently David has suits he only wears to weddings and suits he only wears to funerals.

Eric (Chicago)

David, you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway...figure that out!

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Andy, Lebron has a million way to raise money for charity. He could just sign a bunch of stuff and put it on Ebay. The hour long TV special is for ego.

Clay (Charlotte)

Only difference between a wedding and a funeral is at a wedding you actually get to smell your own flowers.

Jackson (WCH, OH)

I would say that after tonight, the LeBron thing is over, but you know that for the next 9 months will be filled with people arguing over if he made the right choice or not.

Justin (Ohio)

I don't want to ESPN bash but this "Decision" show tonight is officially the day ESPN has jumped the shark. But I'll be watching.

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

LeBron's people reached out to set it up. If ESPN said no, it would be on another network.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

How was it proven he couldn't win a title in Cleveland?

Brian (Madison, WI)

Isn't everyday really just 24 hours of the world giving Cleveland the finger?

David (Ottawa)

Josh: You're job is way harder then mine, no matter what you do. I just get paid better and have full (and I mean FULL) health benefits. It all works itself out.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Adam Morrison is more of a prize, more rings

Vicki (Indiana)

I'd much rather hear speculation on what NFL teams will make the playoffs before training camps start.

Clay (Charlotte)

If I were the best NBA player in the world...I think I might have an ego as well. And if I got a chance to stroke it with my own hour long special, think I might be down for that.

Nate (Madison)

LeBron's show will end and ESPN will air a commercial for a TWO HOUR special on Favre's announcment.

Matt (IN)

There is a part of me that wants him to leave, just to see the reactions in Cleveland.

jillinho (norman)

Well, the outfit is dirty and I forgot about shoes. Tennis shoes are acceptable. Right?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Ok..work is done and internet seems to be working. Looked over Ms. Birds chat and if she likes charcoal then she is ok with me.

David (Ottawa)

That's right, I'm the crazy one for owning more then 2 suits. I forgot*

Buzzmaster

  (10:52 AM)

No, you're crazy for having your dad make a chart that helps you get dressed in the morning.

Brett Favre (via mobile)

Some people will do anything for attention. I hate those guys

Vicki (Indiana)

jill, you don't own at least ten pairs of shoes?

coyote (sa)

I'd go with the golf shoes, jillinho.

stephanie (cincy)

Adam Morrison looks like a guy from "To Catch a Predator"

Christian (High Point, NC)

Emmy noms are in: President Charles Logan got one!

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

He should.

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

Old Spice Guy on a Horse is now Old Spice Swan Dive Guy! Cool new commercial Mustafa.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

A valid question. Do you know anyone that wears snaps?

Vicki (Indiana)

Conan O'Brien got an Emmy nod for his "Tonight Show" time. Take that, Jay!

coyote (sa)

An invalid answer. No.

David (Ottawa)

Making fun of a handicap. I see how you roll, Buzz. If you were colour blind (or deficient for you non-educated people) you wouldn't be joking about it.

Buzzmaster

  (10:54 AM)

How do you know I'm not?

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, when does the new season of Chuck start? I miss Chuck...no actually I miss Agent Walker...mmmmmm.

Zack (Louisville, KY)

You can own as many suits as you want. But I don't designate suits for different occasions. If it's appropriate for one, it's appropriate for the other. Ties on the other hand...

Awayne (INDY)

Emmy nom. Conan yes Leno no take that NBC

B (Boston)

My old rec league's team name was "Adam Morrison's Whispy Moustache"

stephanie (cincy)

Seriously, I have no less than 10 pairs of black shoes.

jillinho (norman)

Good idea! Golf shoes. Much more formal.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I have 10 pairs of flip flops alone.

Matt (IN)

Jill, I agree with coyote. I also think that even when the WC is over, you should remain jillinho

stephanie (cincy)

"Modern Family" y'all

John (Lexington, KY)

I love getting something assigned for me to do and my boss expecting me to take all morning on it when instead it really takes 20 minutes. So I just sit here

Vicki (Indiana)

I have 10 pairs of sandals alone.

Eric (Columbus Ohio)

LeBron is in a no win situation. Go to Miami or Chicago, and he is a trecherous villain, stay, and he is loved yet cannot win in the playoffs.

Pete (NC)

Color? Yes. Colour? Nou.

Travis (Columbus, OH)

I have 10 pairs of nothing. I'm a man. I'm not 40.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Did Jim Parsons, aka Sheldon Cooper, get another nomination?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Travis: Not even 10 pairs of underwear or socks?

Clay (Charlotte)

I really don't think anything about Lebron's life could be considered no-win.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

modern family SUCKS people! try out always sunny for disfunctional

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Black shoes, brown shoes, two good pairs of sneakers and two pairs for doing grass cutting and yard work. That's all I've got. Oh and a pair of water shoes for when I go to the beach.

Nate (Madison)

Please don't use color blindness as a "handicap" card.

Clay (Charlotte)

You know what else sucks? Pie haters.

chaz (sa tx)

modern family is awesome, this is coming from the guy who dislikes pie PFFftt CMOn

fred (omaha)

i wonder if lebron likes charcoal or gas, buzz ask him tonight

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Ummm that's a dys, not a dis.

David (Ottawa)

Pete: Welcome to Canada. We spell different, and but have a much better divorce rate.

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Does that mean it's a lower percentage or higher percentage?

Justin (Ohio)

Subway for lunch.

Justin (Ohio)

Buzz, I'm not saying the network made the wrong decision it just smells awful.

Bob (Lowell)

I think The Middle is better than Modern Family. Brick is a riot.

Neal (Philly)

lunch: leaning towards pierogies...have a good weekend everyone!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Turkey sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Nate (Madison)

What's with all this dart throwing by David today? Directed right at the good ol' U.S. of A.

Matt (IN)

I think that 111 degree heat has gone to David's head.

jillinho (norman)

I'll leave that to your choice.

Felix Pie (Baltimore)

Who hates me?

jillinho (norman)

I thought of water shoes, but they're orange.

Clay (Charlotte)

Lunch: Turkey sandwich with muenster cheese, peanut butter crackers and a butterscotch pudding, thanks to my beautiful fiance.

David (Ottawa)

Nate, consider this: I once went out on a date wearing what I thought was a matching outfit. Turns out I was dressed like it was christmas. After that, I considered it a handicap. And Buzz, it means you Americans get divorced more often then a Bengal gets arrested.

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Lunch: $.60 boneless buffalo wings at BWW

stephanie (cincy)

Yeah, Bron's life has been a win-win since he was 17. $90M at 19?

Christian (High Point, NC)

Are we getting stoppage time?

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.

Nate (Madison)

LUNCH: Lean Cuisine after looking at two more apartments with Yoga. Have a good feeling about these two.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Doesn't work that way Buzz. It means we got a higher rate of pretty divorcee. At least that's what I hope.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Lunch: Chicken and Bacon Mashed Potatoes

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

David is going on vacation, so he's giving two weeks worth of attacks today.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

David is angry he had to work Monday.

Tom (NM)

If LBJ joins Wade and Bosh and they DO NOT win a title then it would be much worse than not winning in Cleveland...the shame...the horror

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Lunch already? OK I'll go with a grilled chicken wrap, baked potato, yet another free Jr. vanilla Frosty and a diet Coke from Wendy's.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I need somewhere close to here for a 3 day weekend trip. Suggestions?

Clay (Charlotte)

You know what else smells awful? Pie haters.

Mike (Seattle)

Hoagie for lunch today..

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

You want to rent 2 apartments?

chaz (sa tx)

that was only three yes's

Christian (High Point, NC)

Robbi: Smoky Mountains, TN? (Don't know where Clinton is in Ky)

Buzzmaster

  (11:02 AM)

Just saw Samantha Brown's Great Weekends show on the Smoky Mountains on the Travel Channel.

Ozzie (Chicago)

Nate and Yoga are moving in together already? After one month?

David (Ottawa)

Don't rent the one with the dead guy on the floor.

J.B. (Dunmore pa)

too late for the ONB?

Buzzmaster

  (11:03 AM)

Sure let's do an OT ONB......

richard (ft myers, fl.)

where is michelle beadle?

robert (Dekalb,IL)

Why haven't cavs tried trade for Al Jefferson to keep Lebron

Rickey Hendon (Chicago, IL)

So how exactly is Stoudemire better than Lee? Didnt Lee have a MUCH better season? I mean the guy was 3rd in Efficiency last season only behind Lebron and Durant. And not to mention the fact that Stoudemire played with the best passing PG in the league while Lee played wit Chris Duhon YUCK!

lebron james is meeting with amar'e stoudimire and alan houston tomorrow for lunch

preston (atlanta)

lebron james should go to orlando and play with howard

steve w. (myrtle beach)

what makes a kid one year out of college think he can not make it on $550.000.00. as an unployed father of 4 i would have no problem at all. chris johnson should grow up and watch his words carefully.

matt (panama city, florida)

is it ridiculous for Lebron to have an hour long special to announce his free agency pick?

Derrick Williams (Bronx N.Y.)

Why is ALL the sports media ALWAYS against N.Y. sports teams? Last ex. The knicks cant get Lebron. I heard that a little too much. I see why no stars want to play in N.Y. Do you agree?

chuck (Lima Ohio)

Where is the game that is suppose to be on TV at 3:00 am Reds wooping on the Mets Talking about poor losers.I'm done watching ESPN.Tell that to Chris Berman for me

Quentin (Green Bay) [via mobile]

Buzz, what's wrong with you? You're becoming even more lazy. This week in the MB is the worst we've had since the merger. Pick it up man!

RAY GORDON REID ( LEXINGTON KY40601)

MY COMMENT AT 10.35 AM RIGHT NOW BUZZ YOU NEVER KNOW ABOUT BUZZ EITHER EARLY OR LATE TRUE

Vincent Wright (Thomaston Ga.)

Lebron James have gave Cleveland all he can, now its about getting a ring, so he got to do whats best for him to do that.

Ben Chitko (Merritt Island,Fl)

Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh should be called The Three Kings!!! Definatly not that Miami Thrice. Need to work on that one.

Nnatsaturday (Milwaukee WI)

LeBron to the Heat, people of earth we give you the "TRINAMIC TRIO"

Buzzmaster

  (11:04 AM)

And that's it....

Eric (Chicago)

Spain needs to open rights to the whole world for the Running of the Bulls...that would be a great TV watch this week.

Godish (Chicago)

Nate is moving in with Yoga already? I'm out for three days and that happens?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Aren't the Smoky Mountains close to KY? They're pretty neat.

Justin (Ohio)

First time I've seen Al Jefferson and LBJ's name in the same sentence.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

To whoever asked for the ONB using my name: Coward! Use your own name when pulling a stunt like that.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

No ONB in our OT!

Tom (NM)

Robbi, go to Cedar Point in Sandusky and ride the roller coasters

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

NOOooooooo

Nate (Madison)

Yep, one month* Hit it on the head.

coyote (sa)

David, all of my Canadian relatives that are in their 20's and 30's are living with their partners, rather than marrying them. It's kind of hard to get divorced when you don't bother to get married in the first place.

Rich (Weymouth,MA)

Lunch: either Quiznos (coupon for 2 small subs for $5) or up the street for Steak Tip and Avocado sandwich?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

The LeBrONB. That's what we got today.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate announced a while ago that he was moving in with Yoga. Now that the announcement was a month in, the actual moving in date is a few months in.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I do love roller coasters.

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: Sudafed for this damn summer cold.

Matt (IN)

Robbi: Memphis. And I hope that "Trinamic Trio" doesn't catch on. That is pulse.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Technically, Nate, paying to attend her class isn't dating. Kinda closer to stalking, actually.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

And you got that right..it is a bother to get married.

Eric (Chicago)

Lunch: placed called Jameson's, great stuff

stephanie (cincy)

Lunch: Sushi with iced green tea

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I am disappointed Germany lost to Spain. Can't stand Puyol.

Buzzmaster

  (11:07 AM)

I was at softball last night and the field is in the same area as a baseball field. Halfway through the game, some kids come over and say, "is that your car?" I say yeah and they tell me a foul ball from their game went through my back windshield......sonuva.....

Nate (Madison)

Doesn't Canada have some law where if you live with your partner long enough you get shared benefits as if you were married? Some couple was telling me this down in the D.R. back in March.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Speaking of roller coasters, check out 'Bert the Conqueror.' That guy does some crazy stuff.

John (Lexington, KY)

I was rooting for a non-European Final, but that dream was shattered early

Vicki (Indiana)

still haven't decided who to cheer for in the World Cup. But i won't be able to watch it anyway. Gotta work during the time it's on.

stephanie (cincy)

Getting married is a breeze. Figuring out how to split all the stuff is the bother. Oh, and realizing that because you have a kid, he will be in your life FOREVER

Clay (Charlotte)

You know what I'm disappointed in? Nothing actually, you have to care to be disappointed, and that's too much work.

Layla (Venice, CA)

Lunch....Wingstop! Oh yes, Wingstop!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh well it was fun getting back into the chat swing today. Thanks everyone and thanks for getting Sue Bird today, Buzz. She was fantastic. Have a good one, all. Get out, have some fun, and stay safe. Catch you back here tomorrow for Casual Dress Friday chat. I'll break out my shorts. Peace, all.

Scott (Brewtown)

Hey Buzz, isn't your wife playing kickball this summer?

Buzzmaster

  (11:08 AM)

It's more of a late summer/early fall league...but yes, she said she's planning on playing.

John (Lexington, KY)

Golf trumps the World Cup this weekend

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Not sure about all Canada Nate, but there is definitely many provinces that do have such a law.

Eddie (NYC)

Well Buzz, if you had a convertible, you wouldn't of had that problem. Just like Buttermaker.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

netherlands. Isnt that where Amsterdam is?

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Wow Buzz, that sucks.

stephanie (cincy)

Cleaning my house trumps the Word Cup this weekend

David (Ottawa)

Louis: Its a federal law.

Nate (Madison)

I'm making my return to kickball today...Jonathan came crawling back asking for my services.

Nate (Madison)

I remember playing baseball through h.s., a foul ball would head towards the lot and it would just be silence as you wait for the bang or crack.

Buzzmaster

  (11:11 AM)

When I go over there, I always am paranoid about that happening. Last night I had a bad feeling about it but I didn't move the car. Should have listened to my gut.

Bob (Lowell)

Buzz, that glass in the back is a window, not a windshield.

Christian (High Point, NC)

It's a shame that Germany didn't win, it would've been an Amsterdam vs Amstradam matchup.

Scott (Brewtown)

I've gotta get things wrapped up here before my vacation starts so have a swell Thursday everybody.

Eric (Chicago)

John (Lexington)...golf will NEVER trump anything when baseball is on or the World Cup which happens every 4 years. Nice try.

Eric (Chicago)

Let's Go Dutch!

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Spain's got a shot to be both the European champ and the world champ at the same time. However, I'm pulling for Holland.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

USA!! oh wait...

Christian (High Point, NC)

I'm surprised that Buzz can listen to anything but his gut, you know, because he's fat

Buzzmaster

  (11:13 AM)

Left that door open. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to walk through it. Well done sir.

David (Ottawa)

Pulse. Work calling. I'm done for the next 12 days. I'm out like LBJ from the Cavs. Have a swell two weeks everyone, until then stay thirsty my friends.

Justin (Ohio)

Really could use a Simmons chat today.

John (Lexington, KY)

If I'm playing the golf it does.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I am invading the east coast. Hope they dont try and feed me pie....

Buzzmaster

  (11:13 AM)

They hand it out at the gates at the airport.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I like the Netherlands because their best players hate each other. It's like Kobe and Shaq kind of.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

buzz: can you set your laptop on your gut, type, and see the screen?

Matt (IN)

That was an awfully wide door, too

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Netherlands has better beer, but I have money on Spain winning. I'm at an empasse.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

impasse.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Always choose the money Zack. Buy some dutch beer with the money after if you feel guilty

Godish (Chicago)

What time is Keith Law going to cancel his chat?

Buzzmaster

  (11:16 AM)

Somebody drank some witty juice this morning.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

For being a short week, it feels like a really long one. At least it's Thirsty Thursday.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Alright, I'm putting my arthritic foot down: Hayden, knock off the pie hating schtick. It's unfunny, unreadable, and we all get dumber every freaking time you post your verbal diarrhea.

Vicki (Indiana)

isn't someone on the Netherlands' team retiring after the WC is over?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

still here? I lost internet.

Buddy (Leesburg, GA)

arthritic foot just sounds disgusting clinton maybe you should watch your verbal diarrhea. id rather hear about pie then a crusty twisted poor circulated and obviously in pain foot.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Whoa, did my rant break the chat?

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Haha Clinton, it does sounds like a turribull wrestling gimmick from time to time. Like the guy with the stormtroopers helmet that fell on his face during his entrance on TV.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Yes Vicki, Van Bommel, the guy who nailed the 40+ yard shot.

Matt (IN)

Clinton just dropped the hammer. Please hammer, don't hurt 'em

stephanie (cincy)

I heard on the something this morning that was interesting. Apparently Joseph Stalin did not know that Holland and The Netherlands were the same country and his people were to afraid to tell him.

John (Lexington, KY)

I base my world cup choices now on which teams we haven't fought wars against.

John (Lexington, KY)

Chat exhaustion struck Buzz. RIP

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I'm rooting for the Dutch.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Apparently, Buddy is unfamiliar with my reputation as the "old man" of the chat. The arthritic foot is just a metaphor, Buddy.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

That's part of the reason the Netherlands v. Germany would have been so good. Germany stole Rotterdam from the Netherlands in the leadup to WWII.

Buzzmaster

  (11:23 AM)

I'm probably in the minority, but I like watching the Tour de France.

Vicki (Indiana)

I was cheering on Germany for heritage reasons

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I picked 250 ears of corn this weekend. It sure is good.

coyote (sa)

I was rooting against France for heritage reasons.

Rich (Weymouth,MA)

which team had the female that was goning to run in the streets if they won?

Buzzmaster

  (11:24 AM)

Paraguay, I think.

Bo Jackson (tv)

Now when's that tour de france thing?

coyote (sa)

I'm rooting for the Dutch. So, Spain will win.

stephanie (cincy)

I love the Running of bulls in Pamploma. I love a good goring

Vicki (Indiana)

can't wait to have corn on the cob again

fred (omaha)

hi robbi, i love corn send some to me

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

If you live in Omaha, Fred, there's plenty around. I promise.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

When's the octopus going to make its pick?

Vicki (Indiana)

I saw one guy get trampled in a 30-second clip of the bull running I saw the other day.

LeBron James (via mobile)

Ok, I'll let the news out early, but just for you guys. I'm signing with The Netherlands and will suit up on Saturday. It's always been my dream to win a World Cup.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Buzz runs in pamplona as a bull

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

We have had corn every night since Monday.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Buzz doesn't run anywhere.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

There is a lot of bull that runs thru here.

fred (omaha)

shh josh dont blow my cover, thats not cool

stephanie (cincy)

Jersey corn in August so sweet it could be desert.

Joey (DC)

Id rather throw tomatoes or chase cheese down a hill if I'm going for a cultural experience.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Shenanigans, Hayden. Buzz doesn't run at all, because he's fat.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

maybe once a year josh? I thought I saw him gore a dude

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I'm with Joey. If I'm going to experience Spanish culture, I'd much rather go for the tomato fight.

Matt (IN)

I think Paul the octopus is on Spain's bandwagon now. I think the Dutch will win.

Rich (Weymouth,MA)

I'm all for an adrenaline rush, but not when someone else can trip me by mistake causing me to get impaled... all set, craziness

Al Gore (TN)

I invented goreing.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

that's good for me. my lunch is calling. See you tomorrow MBers.

Nate (Madison)

Wow, still going strong?

Buzzmaster

  (11:29 AM)

Yeah. Probably going to wrap this up in a few minutes.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

isnt it a huge party though?

stephanie (cincy)

I REALLY love it when the bull gores a guy AND flips him through the air. Awesome!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I really wish LeBron would have taken Simmons's idea and done LeBrachelor with all the NBA franchises. I would watch that.

Justin (Rockford, IL)

I think you should just go for the marathon chat record Buzz*

Buzzmaster

  (11:32 AM)

Nah.

Buzzmaster

  (11:33 AM)

I think that will do it for today folks. Thanks for spending some OT here. We'll be back again tomorrow for Friday!

Buzzmaster

  (11:33 AM)

Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

Christian (High Point, NC)

I call shenanigans on the fred post. The real fred would've said that he loved corn and will be visiting Robbi soon to get some.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Buzz doesn't have that kind of stamina.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Alright, everybody, have a good rest of your Thirsty Thursday and stay classy!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Happy Thursday. Bye y'all.

Jason (Tampa)

More chat time than the LeBron show. He might get Jelis buzz

Bob (Lowell)

Thanks for the stoppage time Buzz. PBJ for me today.
