  (11:31 AM)

Hellooooooooooooooo! Buzz is back! Check this out .. on Thursday, yours truly will be hangin' with Sean Taylor and Maurice Clarett! Sean Taylor will be dropping by around 10 a.m. ET and Clarett will join around noon ET. Don't miss it.

Buzzmaster

  (9:51 AM)

Mornin'! OK .. picture this .. Buzz is in a smoky gym with lots of TV cameras and people with toolbelts with stuff hanging off them .. Sean Taylor will be in the house soon .. hang tight .. the schedule is somewhat loose ... but he'll be here ... until then, the Buzz will be hangin' out .. talkin' Draft .. drinking Powerade and flexing in the mirror .. OK, maybe not.

Paul (Gainesville)

Buzzmaster, we know who the top QB's are but who are the top running backs in this year's draft?

Buzzmaster

  (9:54 AM)

Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger are your top QBs .. this is as good a time as any to plug the fact that Eli Manning will be dropping by about this time tomorrow .. but outside of those two, Buzz like Philip Rivers to kind of make a name for himself quickly in the league ..

Buzzmaster

  (9:56 AM)

Sean is here!

Sean Taylor

  (9:56 AM)

Hello everyone.

Andrew, Chicago

Sean, if a team gave you an opportunity to move to WR would you take it?

Sean Taylor

  (9:56 AM)

Only if I could also play DB!

Tarek , Daytona Beach, Fl.

Sean "The Freak" how does it feel to know you'll be able to lay the smack on Maurice in the NFL, and get some payback for what was a sure 100+ int. return in the National title game 2 years ago.

Sean Taylor

  (9:57 AM)

I think I layed enough smack on him in the national championship game!

Nizar(Emerson)

Hey Sean. I just wanted to know if you would love to play for the New York Spotlight, especially the Giants?

Sean Taylor

  (9:57 AM)

Why not? Of course, if they pick me!

josh(cleveland)

To Sean, Which teams have been the most interested in you thus far?

Sean Taylor

  (9:58 AM)

Redskins, Browns, Lions ..

AKM311 (Potomac, MD)

Sean are you close with Clinton Portis? Has he been lobbying for you to come to D.C.?

Sean Taylor

  (9:59 AM)

Yes, he has. I'm close with Clinton. We went to Miami together.

Robbie (Foley, AL)

Sean I'm an FSU fan and im glad ur leavin Miami im tired of you dominating us. Do you think your gonna be the best safety in the NFL very early in your career? I think you will be.

Sean Taylor

  (10:00 AM)

I think so.

Arthur (Chicago)

Sean, can you tell us what happened during Pro day? Reports were not very good.

Sean Taylor

  (10:01 AM)

I don't listen to writers .. I feel I had a good enough workout.

ThunderCane,Miami

Mr. Taylor, how is the shoulder? I remember the stingers you had durring the season.

Sean Taylor

  (10:02 AM)

It feels great now .. that's why I had the surgery. It's not bother me anymore.

Cameron (Ottawa,ON)

Sean what's the first thing you'll buy when you sign your first contract?

Sean Taylor

  (10:02 AM)

Don't know yet .. no clue. That's a lot of money.

Tim (Columbus) OH

Sean. Who are you looking forward to laying out this year?

Sean Taylor

  (10:03 AM)

I just want to play .. just playing for an NFL team will be exciting.

Mike (Champion, OH) To MO

a car?

Sean Taylor

  (10:04 AM)

Yeah, probably a car. Something different. I like to be different.

Keith (Orlando)

Are you going to miss Miami and a chance to play in the ACC?

Sean Taylor

  (10:04 AM)

I'll miss everything .. mainly just wearing that Hurricane uniform.

Tony (Danbury, CT)

Don't you think it is unfair to you to have to hear you are the next Ronnie Lott before your first pro game. Maybe Ronnie Lott will someday want to be the next Sean Taylor.

Sean Taylor

  (10:05 AM)

It's no pressure ... that's just people's opinion. I'm just going to keep doing what I do. I have no problem being compared to such a great player like Lott.

Dean Snell US Navy

Sean........who is the most influencial person you had growing up?

Sean Taylor

  (10:06 AM)

My mom ...

Bryan Black River Falls, WI

Do you think you made a wise choice coming out a year early?

Sean Taylor

  (10:06 AM)

I was at the top of my game .. what better time?

tim, cleveland, ohio

do you have a favorite NFL team right now?

Sean Taylor

  (10:07 AM)

I never really had a favorite NFL team .. I always watched UM-FSU growing up ...

Tom State College, PA

Having played aginst Larry Fitzgerald how good do you think he is?

Sean Taylor

  (10:09 AM)

He's a good player .. I've talked to him a couple times and watched him. I shut him down!

Sean Taylor

  (10:09 AM)

He's a good player .. I've talked to him a couple times and watched him. I shut him down!

Ryan Minneapolis, MN

What will be the hardest tranisition from college to pro for you?

Sean Taylor

  (10:11 AM)

Probably the schedule ... more games .. but I'll like that. Just a longer season. Especially when you talk about playoffs, Pro Bowl, etc.

Keith (Orlando)

Are you looking forward to being in Madden 2005 and will you play as yourself a lot?

Sean Taylor

  (10:11 AM)

I play Madden .. I'll use whatever team I go to.

Jeff Manahawkin

How to people treat you on campus now knowing your going pro?

Sean Taylor

  (10:12 AM)

It's a lot different now .. something you just get used to though. It's a big step going from college to pro.

Brandon G, Gainesville FL

If you were to make a sales pitch to an NFL team on why they should pick you, what would you say?

Sean Taylor

  (10:13 AM)

I'm the best.

Mark Detroit, MI

What do you think about the value scouts put on safeties?

Sean Taylor

  (10:13 AM)

I think safety is just as important as the QB on offense. You have to look at the whole field to know what is going on. I see no reason why safeties should be looked at differently than QBs.

Paul DC

How do the ladies treat you knowing that you are going pro?

Sean Taylor

  (10:14 AM)

It's alright! Not bad!

Jason, Miami

Would you like to be a Punt Returner and Kickoff Returner in the NFL?

Sean Taylor

  (10:14 AM)

Of course, if I get the opportunity. I love returning kicks and punts.

Would you have a problDover, NH

Would you have a problem with playing free safety instead of strong?

Sean Taylor

  (10:15 AM)

No. That's what I want to play, free. But certain packages are different. The Dolphins have two guys that are always moving. It just depends on where I go. I want to cover the majority of the passes.

Keith (Clio, MI)

Sean, who's the best WR in the league right now and who would you like to lay the smack down on the most?

Sean Taylor

  (10:17 AM)

I guess Moss or TO right now ...

Phil, El Paso

Who's better: Mike or Roy Williams?

Sean Taylor

  (10:18 AM)

Sean!

Trey, Alexandria Va.

Are you going to the draft or watching it from home?

Sean Taylor

  (10:18 AM)

I can't answer that yet ..

Ken, TO

Do you hate Dallas ?

Sean Taylor

  (10:19 AM)

Nothing against Dallas ..

Christian, Columbus, Ohio

If you faced Kellen Winslow Jr in the NFL, would you shut him down? Would you lay him out?

Sean Taylor

  (10:20 AM)

I faced him everyday in practice .. I know some of his moves and have them down pat!

Sam San Diego

what do you expect your madden rating to be?

Sean Taylor

  (10:20 AM)

I don't really know .. hopefully the fastest safety. Speed is everything in Madden.

Dougie Phresh, Baltimore

Do you plan on wearing your college number or given the opportunity will you choose another?

Sean Taylor

  (10:21 AM)

I would like to wear my college number if I can. But if I can't that's alright.

Matt, Dallas

Mo Clarett will be on next - did he really strip that ball? Or did you have posession - tell the truth!

Sean Taylor

  (10:22 AM)

I'm going with the refs on that one .. they called it a strip. But I'm sure you know what I would say if I called it.

James, Tallahassee

Hi Sean, what's it like trying to tackle Greg Jones in the open field?

Sean Taylor

  (10:23 AM)

I know the play you are talking about ... he won 1 out of the 100 .. I won the other 99!

Dougie Phresh, Baltimore

Whats your projection for next year's NCAA Football champion...other than the 'Canes?

Sean Taylor

  (10:25 AM)

The Canes! What kind of question is that! Of course, the Canes.

mark, detroit

Who was your football hero growing up?

Sean Taylor

  (10:25 AM)

Not really .. no hero.

Matt (Philadelphia)

What's the most interesting question you have been asked at team interviews?

Sean Taylor

  (10:26 AM)

When you set down with a team it's alright. They are just trying to see what kind of person you are. They just want to get to know you in a short amount of time before they make that investment.

Christian, Columbus, Ohio

Who's the most famous person or musician you've met so far?

Sean Taylor

  (10:28 AM)

At the Super Bowl I saw the Rock .. I would love to meet J.Lo .. but she's at the end of the 'want to meets' .. the top ones are Lara Croft, the Spanish girl from All About the Benjamins ..

Eddie, Saddle River

What got you into football?

Sean Taylor

  (10:29 AM)

I just always liked to play since I was about 6 years old.

Kevin (Chicago)

What is your thoughts on high school kids going into the NFL?

Sean Taylor

  (10:30 AM)

I have no problem with it .. I wish they would have changed the rule last year .. maybe i would have come out then .. if you are young and have the talent, why not.

boston

do you believe the bush administration had enough evidence prior to 9/11 to stop the attacks?

Sean Taylor

  (10:30 AM)

Not sure.. I'm not the President. But maybe one day I will be.

Drew, Pensacola, FL

what did the team think of Brock coming into the season knowing he was a traitor, and then watching him throw ya'lls season away?

Sean Taylor

  (10:31 AM)

No comment.

Nik (DC)

Do you have any interest in possibly coaching one day?

Sean Taylor

  (10:31 AM)

Maybe someday. I like to give back to the kids.

Dougie Phresh, Baltimore

Martha Stewart: Guilty or not guilty?

Sean Taylor

  (10:32 AM)

Not guilty. I think she was just ahead of the game.

matt (Cleveland)

What did you think about that ridiculous run by West Virginia's HB... that was phenomenal...where were you on that jount?

Sean Taylor

  (10:32 AM)

I got blocked.

Dee, Columbus

J-lo, Janet , Beyonce or Halle?

Sean Taylor

  (10:33 AM)

All four.

john toronto, on

whos got the hops you or Ed Reed?

Sean Taylor

  (10:34 AM)

We both do. I don't compare myself to fellow Canes.

Tim, Detroit:

Do you plan on working out again after the Miami pro-day? Some were saying that you didn't have a great workout.

Sean Taylor

  (10:35 AM)

No reason to .. I ran a 4.4 and did great in my drills. I only dropped 2 balls but they were uncatchable .. no reason to work out again.

sampson (PITT)

PITT or OK ST.?

Sean Taylor

  (10:37 AM)

Oklahoma State .. I picked them a long time ago.

Will (Lexington)

Did you have to take a trash talkin class at miami, It seems like shockey, irvin, and everyone else has???

Sean Taylor

  (10:39 AM)

You come with some and have more when you leave. But everybody that comes out of Miami knows how to talk. Hey, I have to run .. it's been fun talking to you all .. take care.

Buzzmaster

  (10:40 AM)

Sean .. thanks for hanging out!

Dougie Phresh, Baltimore

Good Luck in Washington....I Hope!

Chris Windsor

Good luck in Detroit

Justin (Rapid City, SD)

Buzz, knowing that your gonna be a multi-millionare would you even keep going to school?

Buzzmaster

  (10:43 AM)

Uh, Buzz wouldn't leave the house. Unless it was to pick up that new 100 inch plasma ...

Aaron Sarasota Fl

Buzzmanster, Who do you think that Buffalo will take at 13 or do you think that they will try to trade up for a qb/wr/winslow or trade down for more picks and take troupe?

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

If Rivers is there .. they should snag him.

Justin (Rapid City, SD)

Buffalo has some serious problems...

Justin (Rapid City, SD)

Buzz, where is Mo Clarett going?

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

That's the $1,000,000 question .. who knows ... Buzz hopes to get Mo on a little later this morning .. maybe we can find out who he's been talking to.

Mark, Atl

Buzzmaster what will the cowboys do with regards to RB?

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

Well, just depends on who is around .. a guy like Kevin Jones or Chris Perry would make sense .. probably lean towards Jones because he has more burst ... but with Parcells you never know ..

Justin / Davenport

Buzz whos the best widout moss, owens, harrison, or holt?

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

Hmm... what do you think? If you all had to choose one, who would you take? Buzz is takin' Harrison.

Freak Baller ATL

Owens or Moss

Mike, Temple, TX

Moss

Brian NYC

Moss - he keeps his mouth shut most of the time and just plays - most of the time.

Kale (Lethbridge, Canada)

Harrison is the man, he will fit into any team, no conflicts.

Joe (Indianapolis)

Harrison -- but I'm biased. Of course, Moss, Owens or Holt don't have Manning throwing to them.

OBee Marblehead

Will Clarret get drafted?

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

Some team will roll the dice for sure ..

Arthur (Chicago) thru Miami

Yes he will get drafted but prob in the 2nd to 4th.

Justin/Oakland, ME

Yeah thats what everyone said about McGahee- and he went first round

Mike, Temple, TX

Is Warner washed up in St. Louis?

Buzzmaster

  (10:55 AM)

Kind of looking that way, isn't it? Bulger is the hot hand, no question. He's that guy that you could easily see lighting it up somewhere else, if he just finds the right situation.

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

Kind of looking that way, isn't it? Bulger is the hot hand, no question. He's that guy that you could easily see lighting it up somewhere else, if he just finds the right situation.

Eugene (Los Angeles, CA)

What the heck should the Chargers do with the number one pick? Gallery, Fitz, Manning, or trade?

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Manning. Plain and simple.

Gabe ,Columbia

I would pick Eli Manning you can't go wrong with that.

Justin (Rapid City, SD)

I say Fitz... They gave up on Brees to early.

Nick (Cleveland)

Trade the pick

Alan Windsor

Dang I missed Sean didn't I?

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

Yes Nick .. you slept late didn't you? Just click where it says full transcript below and you can check out what you missed ..

Steve, Toronto

Does it really matter?? It's the Chargers...they ain't going anywhere for a few years at least...

JOE (TAMPA)

TRADE IT OR TAKE MANNING........DONT MAKE FOOLS OF YOUSELVES AGAIN.

Nick (Cleveland)

Roethlisberger is more talented than Manning. Manning is the pick because of the name. I heard he had a ver mediocre workout.

Kale (Lethbridge, Canada)

The Falcons need to trade up and get Fitzgerald, man Vick to Fitz would be great.

Joe (Indianapolis)

Take Manning. Good QBs don't come along very often. He is ready to play now, where as Big Ben still needs bookwork.

Jeremy Oak Harbor, WA

I say they take a reciever. Especially since Boston is gone. Brees can get the job done

Buzzmaster

  (11:04 AM)

They could still get a quality WR in round two ...

Kyle: Marietta Ga

Where will Tommie Harris go?

Buzzmaster

  (11:05 AM)

If the Redskins don't take Winslow .. which is a big if .. look for them to take Harris.

Buzzmaster

  (11:06 AM)

By the way, Tommie Harris will be tomorrow about this same time .. along with Eli Manning, Roy Williams and Robert Gallery ..

AJ, DC

Gibbs working with Winslow?? Oil and vinegar, buzz

Buzzmaster

  (11:08 AM)

Nah.. that stuff is so overblown it's ridiculous .. this is big-time stakes here .. if they think he's the best player to fit whatever need they feel is most important at that moment .. they'll take him.

Louis (London)

I really think that Washington will take Sean Taylor to improve their secondary that lost Champ Bailey. Winslow is a great player but I see the CB/S position as the one in most need

Buzzmaster

  (11:10 AM)

Hey folks .. Buzz is gonna put this show on pause for awhile .. gonna try and track down Maurice Clarett so you all can get your questions answered .. deal?

Jerod - Crandon

deal...

Buzzmaster

  (11:43 AM)

Maurice is here!

Maurice Clarett

  (11:44 AM)

Hello everyone .. glad to be here.

Maurice Clarett

  (11:44 AM)

Hello everyone .. glad to be here.

Alex Rodgers St. Louis

Maurice, Do you think that you are ready to start in the NFL?

vlado tzinguilev, sofia

maurice who's your favorite RB in thr NFL?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:45 AM)

I'd have to say Clinton Portis ..

Jay (Chicago)

Would love to see you in Chi-town...what would you think?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:46 AM)

That would have been nice but they picked up Thomas Jones ..

Rich, St. Louis

I am pulling for you. for get about what the so called experts and execs who have never played are saying. I am hoping Dallas drafts you. Would you like to play in Dallas?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:46 AM)

Tell Parcells to get on the horn and give me a call!

anthony, dc

how is the shoulder?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:47 AM)

My whole body is 100 percent ...

Nathan (Morgantown)

Who has shown the most interest in you so far?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:47 AM)

I won't find out until after my workouts on April 5.

Hawkeye- Iowa City

Would you be disappointed to be drafted 2nd round, but to a team that would fit your scheme?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:48 AM)

No. Everything that is happening now is just part of God's plan .. wherever I end up will be fine.

Joe Paterno, PA

Maurice, you should just retire as soon as you get your signing bonus check then just chill and be a playa. I see a bright future for you in Hollywood.

Maurice Clarett

  (11:49 AM)

Ha ha! That's pretty funny.

Pamela, South Beach

Did any lucky lady take you off the market yet? You can kiss half your earnings goodbye!

Maurice Clarett

  (11:49 AM)

I know not to look out for you!

KELTON,MIAMI

Maurice, big props on winning your case vs. the NFL..are you looking forward to going up against Sean Taylor again?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:50 AM)

Yeah, we're cool .. I just saw him a few minutes ago. Looking forward to playing against him.

David(Raleigh)

Loan me a million dollars?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:50 AM)

You first.

Sylvain, Canada

What was your greatest moment as a buckeye?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:50 AM)

Just my whole experience there.. I have no bad feelings at all towards OSU.

Jeremy (St. Augustine, FL)

Maurice, OSU grad, and recently transplanted (to FL) Buckeye. First, let me thank you for the time you were in Columbus. You are truly a world-class athlete! My question is: I know that you and Lebron James are good friends. Has he given you any advice, as far as handling what is sure to be a media circus around your draft? Hopefully we'll see both of you in Cleveland one day!!

Maurice Clarett

  (11:52 AM)

LeBron has been there through this whole experience .. I really appreciated it. I'm just happy for all the success he is having.

Nick Toledo, OH

Do you think you will have any hurdles in your first year in the nfl

Maurice Clarett

  (11:52 AM)

Of course .. every rookie faces hurdles.

Rob, Canton

How long have you and Lebron been dating?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:53 AM)

Ever since he became the richest 18 year old in the world ..

scott cbus ohio

Nothing but love for #13......will you wear #13 in the NFL?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:53 AM)

If I'm able I would love to ..

Kevin (Denver)

Would you rather start immediately in the NFL or would it be better to be an understudy to a veteran back your rookie year??

Maurice Clarett

  (11:54 AM)

Like most rookies, I'd rather have time to learn a system and come in when I'm ready..

Corey, Birmingham

Are you preparing for hazing by the veterans after you report to camp? Do you think that they will be tougher on you than the other rookies??

Maurice Clarett

  (11:57 AM)

I"m looking forward to it!

Felix- Oakland

Maurice, Al Davis would like to pick you up. Can you picture your self in Silver & Black?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:59 AM)

Yes, standing right next to Warren Sapp!

Nlesthought (St. Peezy,MN)

what seperates you from the rest of the RBs in the draft?

Maurice Clarett

  (11:59 AM)

I'm the youngest!

Raymond from Chicago

Hey Maurice, I've got about $5,000 in credit card debt and I'm tired of it. Anyway I can earn that from you? I can be like that dude that works for Puffy if you want!!

Maurice Clarett

  (12:00 PM)

Come out to Connecticut today and audition ..

Steve, T-dot

Hey Maurice, who's gonna win the Final Four?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:01 PM)

Duke.

Corey, Birmingham

Yeah, can I be the token white dude in your posse?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:02 PM)

Yes, because they are necessary ..

Kareem, Pittsburgh

Is Larry Fitgerald the best player in this draft?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:02 PM)

Yes, by far ..

Chris (Lancaster)

Jay-Z or Eminem?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:03 PM)

Both.

Matt (Sistersville)

What player would you least like to be tackled by...assuming you get tackled

Maurice Clarett

  (12:04 PM)

Jack Tatum.

Joe, San Diego

what about Ray Lewis?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:05 PM)

Me and Ray Lewis are cool .. we talk on the phone .. I"m looking forward to the chance to work out with him after the Draft

Anthony, NY

aiight enough of the she she stuff, you havent played ball in 2 years why should a GM waste a pick on you?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:07 PM)

To make fans like you mad ..

Brian, L.A. Cali

who 's the hottest woman in your mind

Maurice Clarett

  (12:11 PM)

You should have asked Sean Taylor .. he lives in Miami!

Mike Krieger (Youngstown Boardman)

Can I get some Y-town love? Must ask this...Do you remember hitting the game winner for Hillman in 8th grade for the Austintown Tournament over our (Boardman Glenwoods) 6'7" Center?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:12 PM)

Yeah, I remember that!

Sebastian, Stuttgart Germany

Why didn't you like to practice with Cris Carter?

Maurice Clarett

  (12:13 PM)

It was just a conflict with the schedule and the communication back and forth ..

truth patrol

Admit it, you think Cris Carter is a punk! What is the best advice you got from the man, Mr. Brown.

Maurice Clarett

  (12:15 PM)

Cris is a great individual and gave me a great amount of advice .. I have great respect for both him and Mr. Brown.

Maurice Clarett

  (12:16 PM)

I have to run .. thanks for all the questions .. I appreciate your support! Take care.

Buzzmaster

  (12:17 PM)

Maurice .. thanks for stopping by! Good luck with the Draft ..

Dom (Bay Area)

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen... Maurice Clarett, soon to be the most hated man in the NFL.

Buzzmaster

  (12:18 PM)

You think? Not sure about that .. pretty cool guy.

Taylor (Minneapolis, MN)

i just think everyone should get off claretts back, give the kid a break

Alex, CO

Buzz, is he in shape for the NFL ?

Buzzmaster

  (12:19 PM)

Hard to tell .. wearin' a baggy running suit .. but he did ask for an XXX shirt when they were giving away the swag ..

Will, Atlanta

why would he be hated?

Buzzmaster

  (12:20 PM)

He won't .. current NFL players couldn't care less about his background .. they just care what he does or doesn't do on the field.

Chris (Lancaster)

he tried to fight the system, that's why

scott cbus ohio

he didnt try.....he did. he won, get over it

Dom (Bay Area)

He'll be hated by the fans, and he'll be hated by the media. My comment wasn't about him being hated by the players. The players will be indifferent.

Buzzmaster

  (12:23 PM)

Thanks for clarifying Dom .. Maurice was very interested in the response from you guys .. for those of you that wrote in nasty comments .. don't think he didn't see them.

Mike (Austin)

Let me say this about Maurice..I think the kid was good for a season. I hope he proves me wrong...but I just don't see him having a All-Pro career in the NFL.

Samer, Newport

Give the guy a break...

Buzzmaster

  (12:25 PM)

OK folks .. time to call it a day. But don't worry .. Buzz will be back tomorrow morning with Roy Williams, Robert Gallery, Tommie Harris and Eli Manning. Should be fun .. don't miss it. Have a good afternoon ..

Mike, Temple, TX

Thanks Buzz
