  (10:00 AM)

Goooooooood morning!

Matt (IN)

Good morning everyone. I'd like to start off the chat by hitting ARod again just for the hell of it.

Marc (Charlotte)

Morning everybody. Hope all had a good Halloween Weekend. I'm still feeling a few effects from the Nate and Brian I pulled Saturday night.

Neal (Philly)

I know I work with old people, but whoever turned the heat up to 77 needs to wear layers.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Starting today's MB with Iggy Pop.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

I would just like to thank the Karma police. As I pulled up to a stoplight on the way to work today, the cross road light turned red and a truck went speeding through. A cop pulled out of the convenience store across the street to witness it and pulled the guy over.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! Hope everyone's having a good one so far.

Iggy Pop (in the studio)

I-I-wanna, be your dog

Neal (Philly)

stephanie would've stabbed the people who hosted the Halloween party I went to over the weekend. They charged their friends $5 for a cup. I have to admit that I was pissed about that though.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

If yesterday didnâ??t prove how meaningless the Packersâ?? shutout victory over the Lions was, nothing will.

Ray (NOLA)

Hello Everyboby!!

Bob (Lowell)

Gotta love Wisconsin. A 49 year old woman there called 911 to report that she was driving drunk. The dispatcher asked her to pull over and she did and waited for the police to arrive.

Rusty (Yuciapa,Ca)

Morning!, Nascar,s race was terrible and my bronco's got owned lol

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Good morning, Buzz Nation and it really is a good morning. PSU, the Yankees, and Vikings all winners while the Trojans go down.

Steve (Austin, TX)

I want to give applause to the idiots of the cable companies here in Austin that thought is was a good idea to blackout the USC v. Oregon Saturday night on ESPN 2. Not everyone here is Austin cares about the University of Texas. Sounds like just about everyone else in the country got to see both games except for us. Sorry about the early Monday whinning Buzz, but I have had that building up since Saturday night.

Matt Damon (Buzz's House)

Morning SportsNation! I just stole a second and third pop tart from Buzz's kitchen.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

$5 per cup, Neal, or $5 for a bottomless cup?

Jack (Toronto)

November 1 - started my own personal beard growing contest. Prediction: by day 5 I'll be shaving the itchy beast off of me.

Nate (Madison)

Yikes, now that was a long weekend.

Marc (Charlotte)

Decided to go as John McEnroe on Halloween. The night provided ample opportunity to smash a tennis racket and yell "You cannot be serious" throughout the night.

Buzzmaster

  (10:04 AM)

I walked into a liquor store Saturday night and a guy walked in behind me wearing short, short green NBA shorts, a No. 33 Celtics jersey and a very bad blond wig. Looked like the wig belonged to a hooker outfit, but otherwise good costume.

Matt (IN)

Steve it was blacked out here too.

Neal (Philly)

bottomless cup...but I've never had a friend charge when they're throwing a party

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Ended Halloween with 4 huge Ziploc bags stuffed full of candy, plus a huge bowl full of bags of chips, crackers, pretzels, and popcorn balls. If I'm not fat now, I will be by next month.

Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)

And to make your morning worse, Rusty, that's 5 yards for using "lol" in the chat. We don't allow that around here. Repeat 1st down.

Steve (NJ)

Good morning Sportsnation! I'm alive and recovered from this weekend's Atlantic City festivities. I made a lot of new friends, and learned some valuable lessons about life, love, and the private lives of adult entertainment specialists. Also, seems the Yankees won a few games in there. Good deal all around.

Matt (Portland, ME)

An astounding zero trick or treaters at my house this weekend. And the light was on.

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

We had fewer than expected as well. Now there's lots of leftover candy as LadyBuzz went a wee bit overboard buying.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Fun Halloween. Good chance trick-or-treaters wont be coming back next year though.

Ben (Tempe)

I sat her for about 20 minutes wondering where Buzz was. Why was the chat not starting on time?? Then I remembered it was daylight savings this weekend... and AZ does not change time...

Neal (Philly)

I learned I can be a good bartender, especially when I can't see how much of each type of alcohol I'm putting into a shot that needs to be lit on fire.

Gary (Memphis)

You know how athletes gain nicknames like Mr October or Night Train. Eli should be Deer in the headlights Manning, while Peyton could be Mr Awesome

Clinton (Indianapolis)

A good weekend, but a little sore from crashing into the rail of my friend's deck.

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

Awesome.

Rusty (Yuciapa,Ca)

Oregon seems to have usc's # lately

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

No trick or treaters at my house either, though I was gone by 8:30

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

The cops here found a guy, in a field, in a pick up truck. He was drunk, had no license, no insurance, and he was from....Wisconsin!

Dave (vt)

I cant believe no one brought their leftover candy into work today, how am i supposed to get through the afternoon?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We had rainstorms all day on Halloween and we still had at least 50 kids show up trick-or-treating

Sean (Philly)

They charged you $5 for a cup without a bottom? How did you get any beer?

Marc (Charlotte)

Any kickball update this weekend Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

LadyBuzz played and went 1-1 with a single. Team lost 4-1. We're still waiting to see what seed they get into the playoffs. Either they get a bye next week or have to play.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

So did you break one hip or two, Clinton?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

*rimshot for Sean in Philly*

Brian (Madison, WI)

Being a drunken gorilla all weekend is extremely entertaining.

John (Lexington, KY)

Jacksonville this weekend for FLA/GA was intense. A word of warning, when it's close to 90 degrees and you are used to temps in the 40s, hydrate, dont only drink alcohol all day

Lady Buzz's Teammates (via mobile)

Great, she shows up and our winning streak ends. Ridiculous.

Ryan (San Diego)

Not really Rusty, they are 2-2 against Oregon the last 4 years. Each team winning their home games

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

One of the parties I went to had something called "mop water". Lemonade, vodka, and Keystone Light. It was actually worse than it sounds.

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

Holy hell. I would have walked out. I'm not sure I'd even use a real mop with that mixture.

Ben (Tempe)

I didn't get any trick-or-treaters Saturday night until 9:40. 3 kids came by. I found it strange they came that late. Is there a cut off point?

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

That's kinda late. I thought the unwritten ending time was around 8:30-9.

John (Lexington, KY)

I had about 100 photo ops with people who wanted pictures of my shirt making fun of Mark Richt's spray tan. And one drunken UGA fan who called me trashy while barely being able to walk

Clinton (Indianapolis)

No broken hips, but I did whack the back of my head pretty hard.

LadyBuzz's Teammates (Bristol)

Hopefully LadyBuzz doesn't show up for the playoffs. Then we have a chance at winning.

Clay (Charlotte )

Clinton you need to get yourself one of those Lifeline things. Remember, "I've fallen and can't get up"?

Ben (NC)

I had a trick or treater come dressed up in a ragged outfit carrying a knife(fortunately it was rubber). I asked him his name and he said Stephen ( pronouncing it steffen). A chill ran up and down my spine.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

We shut the lights out at 8:30 PM Saturday. That's our cut off.

stephanie (cincy)

I was at a wedding Saturday night. Good news: Open bar. Bad news: No TV's

Clinton (Indianapolis)

The town I went to this weekend to visit aforementioned friend cut it off at 7:00.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I had a Brian moment yesterday. Was thrilled that the Vikings won but also happy that Rodgers had a good game as it helped my FFL team.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I would have walked out if I had to drink it too. Luckily I brought my own Sam Adams Octoberfest.

Lady Buzz's Teammates (via mobile)

Oh yeah, did we mention the fat guy who came with her and then ate all of our post-game tailgate food BEFORE the game started?

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

The clown outfit for my dog was a great success. He was thoroughly embarrassed.

Matt (Portland, ME)

Open bars are always good.

Sean (Philly)

No idea if I had any trick or treaters, but my unwatched bowl of candy still looked full when I got home from the bar. I know when I was a kid, that bowl would have been emptied/

Brian (Madison, WI)

I had a Clinton type moment too. Went to run up the stairs at a party we were at and one of the guys there grabbed my ankle and I biffed it and fell down the stairs. I laid there in pain for a bit and people just thought there was a dead gorilla at the bottom of the stairs for a while.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

After a heavy night of drinking this past summer I woke up hankering for some more alcohol - but not the lame taste of just Bud light. Went to the fridge, scanned thoroughly and found my perfect solution. Minute Maid Berry Juice mxed into a glass with Bud Light. It wasn't bad at all.

Steve (NJ)

I'm loving the office chatter today, the hangdog expresions, the burning of Brad Lidge effigies.

Ryan (San Diego)

What kind of wedding doesn't have tv's. I mean cmon mannnnnnn

Clay (Charlotte )

People who dress their dogs up...wait, Rich Rod, can I get some backup?

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

We had a group of young girls stop by. Must have been 12 or 13. They weren't dressed up as anything in particular, just in horribly inappropriate outfits for girls of their age.

Sean (Philly)

I had no idea Brian was gorilla. Gorilla's probably need a big keyboard to be able to type.

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who look to me for backup need to get lives.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Had a good weekend, but have to admit that Favre ended it on a sour note. It's just disgusting watching him celebrate in purple.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Thanks for the visual, Brian, I just started cracking up and had a secretary look at me funny while walking by my office.

Jack (NB Canada)

H1N1 scared off many a trick or treater

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

There was a lady at the grocery store this weekend who told the cashier to not touch her groceries while checking her out or her receipt. And then she went on to put her hand under her shirt as she hit the buttons on the keypad to use her debit card.....are you freaking kidding me?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

It was cold out for trick or treating here, so my kids wore gloves the whole time. Never worried about H1N1.

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

Oh my God! Don't you realize what you've done? Your kids might.....*gasp*....get sick!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Brian: Disgusting or possibly the most awesome thing I've ever seen?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Step your game up Canada. H1N1 scaring off trick or treaters?

David (Ottawa)

I'm pretty sure Halloween is the number 1 ranked holiday for finding out your gf cheated on you with super mario at a house party. Guess it could have been worse, it could have been Luigi.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Buzz: You should have put on a suit and gone with those kids saying you were dressed as Chris Hanson.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

Does Lamar Odom eat more candy than average on Halloween?

Dave (vt)

Yes because most people lick their candy wrappers before handing it out.

Jordan (Peoria)

We had roughly 150-175 trick or treaters at our new house. I had to run out to get more candy at 7:00 because we already had gone through 2 huge bags from Sam's.

Nate (Madison)

I don't have many stories from this weekend, just good partying times all around. Except one of my friends who has a history of being retarded when he drinks too much, got into an argument with a chick at the party on Saturday, thus causing her and her 5 single friends leaving early. He was not in our good graces after that.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Some people take halloween a little too far. This chick was a vampire chick and she bite my arm pretty good, I have the bruise to prove it. Alcohol was flowing pretty good so my reaction time to make her stop wasn't as quick as it should of been.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

I don't know what is happening to Halloween. I drove into town Sunday morning to survey the damage. There was none. I couldn't believe it. I think trunk or treat has taken over.

Sean (Philly)

An old guy gave me a fist bump at the bar, I asked if that was his swine flu fit bump, and he said yes.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Thats only because she was in line after you, Buzz.

Matt (Portland, ME)

Buzz, that's ridiculous.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

News flash to those overreacting out there. It's the cold and flu season. Some people will get sick. Freaking out over it does not help.

Godish (Chicago)

I think Cook County may have incorrectly charged me $282,479.86 for my property tax bill this year. Don't they know I only earn $20K a year.

Clay (Charlotte )

Best story of the weekend, a girl dressed up as a dominatrix and was so pissed off by the end of the night because of the comments all the guys made at her...come on, you dress up like that so you asked for it.

Rick (Lehigh Valley Pa)

19 trick or treaters. Lots of leftovers.

Jack (NB Canada)

Turning out the lights is what I do when I run out of candy.

Ryan (San Diego)

When I was flying to SF a couple weeks ago there was literally a guy on the plane with a gas mask type apparatus on his face. It was pretty outrageous

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh wait, have to tell you this, Buzz. The Office store is back at our local mall...well it's actually two kiosks. Anyway they now have bobble heads of each of the main characters. My birthday and Christmas gift list is pretty much full now.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

Fantastic.

Nate (Madison)

What are the rules involving bros before ______. I hit 90% of our cups to win in beer pong, go the bathroom, and comeback to see that my buddy allowed this girl that he was stalking out take my place....needless to say they lost, and I felt some redemption.

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

I'll allow it.

Chad (Las Vegas)

For all you swine flu freaks out there look this up. How many people will die from swine flu this year? Now look up how many will die from 'regular' flu? The number is 100 x's higher for flu.

Jack (NB Canada)

H1N1 marked on the face would have veen a good costume actually, kinda like bookFace...

Lane Kiffin (Knoxville)

Buzz, you should be ashamed. The flu is very serious.

Brad Lidge (Philadelphia)

I suck again!! I've lost my confidence, boo-hoo, I'm very delicate, like a flower.

Matt (IN)

Hochuli called the Colts game yesterday and I kept waiting for him to use "LOL" during one his calls like he did in his chat, but it never happened.

David (Ottawa)

Halloween sucked this year. Bad story after bad story for me. Not only did I catch said gf hooking up with super mario, then went home to find my house and car egged. At least the Eagles won.

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

Wow.

John (Lexington, KY)

Apparently, a costume consisting of a bra and thong is acceptable...At a public bar. It was surprising for sure

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

John, aren't you a little old to dress up?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Not touch the groceries as she's being checked out? That's impossible! She has to touch them to slide them over the scanner.

Buzzmaster

  (10:20 AM)

And that was probably why the cashier was rolling her eyes the entire time.

Nate (Madison)

David, ouch.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

I wouldn't be so sure Chad, H1N1 might be taking the place of regular flu this fall and winter

David (Ottawa)

Best swine flu story of the weekend: Parent comes to my house around 6:15 with their kid. I proceed to give them candy. Parent then asks me not to touch the candy, and asks me if she can put the already handed out candy back and take some. I said no, asked her how she felt knowing that she was infecting my bowl with swine flu and closed the door.

Ben (Tempe)

I was watching the Packers game at a bar yesterday and this annoying guy behind me kept chearing on the vikings in an annoying way. He wasn't wearing anything to show he was a fan (actually wearing a teal shirt) so I was curiuos why he was so annoying. I bit my lip most of the time but finally had to say something to him. Turns out hes a Raiders fan... it all made sense...

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

Crazy Ottawaaian kids!!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Wow....that sucks, David.

Francisco from San Francisco [via mobile]

Give me some mobole love Buzz! Who's your World Series MVP? the MVPa (Most Valuable Plate appaerance) goes to Damon

Nate (Madison)

This was the same friend that scared away the 7 single girls by almost starting a royal rumble.

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

Still not breaking any unwritten rules. He's just a total idiot.

Clay (Charlotte )

I believe that we have had this conversation about flu vs. H1N1 before.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I caused a little destruction. My friend was getting mouthy, so I took his jack-o-lantern and tossed it in the street.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

My friend dressed as a bowler. At first, we didn't get it, and he said to wait until later. Later on, his expecting wife came down and had painted her stomach black with three white holes. She was a bowling ball. Pretty funny.

stephanie (cincy)

I work for a Japanese company and they have been wearing masks for weeks now.

JB (TX)

Well it's official, David had the worst Halloween.

Ben (Tempe)

Not sure why i said annoying twice...

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

They also have a t-shirt with a picture of a Stanley nickle followed by a colon (:) followed by a Shrute buck then an equals sign followed by a unicorn, another colon and a leprechaun. If that isn't awesome, nothing is.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I just want to thank whever's idea the empty bowl with the sign that says please take one. Worked to perfection

Brian (Madison, WI)

Gf cheated on you with Mario? And I thought Favre ruined my weekend. David you win.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

Speaking of H1N1 I want some Bacon.

Sean (Philly)

If he had actually started a Royal Rumble I would allow it, but not following through on said Royal Rumble, and scaring away 7 single girls should not be allowed.

Scott (Brewtown)

I have absolutely nothing to add so far this am. I am mentally bankrupt.

Marc (Charlotte)

I discovered that my pong skills are not what they once were. I'm definitely out of practice.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Tough weekend, David, but if she was hooking up with someone else she isn't worth your time and effort anyway.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Look it up. My brother and sister in law are a doctor and a pharmacist. H1N1 is a bad version of the flu, especially for kids and the elderly but the regular flu will kill more people. A lot of media hype here.

John (Lexington, KY)

Walking through a walkway at the Landing in Jville and some guy gets an attitude because we walked through his picture. Instantly, my friend slapped him....His response was that it's not right to hit a fellow Gator fan. Interesting argument there. And luckily I was able to drag everyone away before the cops showed up

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

Uhhhhh, your friend is an idiot.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm angry that H1N1 didn't come around when I was in high school. It's like a free pass to miss school for a week.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

We've had 2 or 3 schools shut down here in CT for the flu.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I want that shirt. That's awesome.

Ben (Tempe)

Are we supposed to look up Chad's brother and sister or swine flu?

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I owned the beer pong table this weekend!!

Neal (Philly)

Just don't make out with a pig and you won't get swine flu.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I've always wanted a t-shirt with the wanted sign picture that Pam drew of the flasher that actually was Dwight's face with a skeezy mustache.

Matt (Portland, ME)

I don't get the flu. Ever.

JB (TX)

On the bright side at least it wasn't Pacman. Or Pacman Jones...

Clay (Charlotte )

What is this pong you speak of? I was born in 1984.

Greg (boston)

Either way, if it can kill me, I will try and avoid it, but thx for the PSA Chad

Nate (Madison)

Not going too much into it but the difference is that 65-70% of the those that die from H1N1 are under 60 years old, while it's basically the opposite with the normal flu.

David (Ottawa)

J.B.: Couldn't agree with you more. Needless to say she wasn't surprised when I broke up with her yesterday...like i said, at least Mcnabb looked good.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Who slaps? I mean, really?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Was it a Rastall-slap, John?

Ryan (San Diego)

A rational response is slapping someone? Who slaps anyways, was this a girl?

Steve (NJ)

Fun Fact: the AC comedy clubs do not bring out the A-level talent on Halloween. Or the C-level talent, apparently.

Tom (pa)

A friend hosted a halloween party and I went a cup of coffee. I pretended to spill myself and some guy at the party asked me if I ever heard of the MB and proceeded to talk about stephanie. I thought it was funny.

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

That's not true....but if it is, that's funny.

JB (TX)

ONB it Buzz...

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

Rusty (Yuciapa,Ca)

Nascar is melting down. After watching the lamest race i've ever seen at talladega,I consider the prostect of giving up my favorite sport.Having grown up watching Nascar with my parents at Riverside,Ca twice a year, I would consider myself a pretty devoted fan.To watch the folks at Nascar destroy this sport with first, the car of today, and yesterday at Talladega with it's now infamous rule change in the drivers meeting, one has to wonder" Are Nascar's best days behind them?".I very much enjoy going to our races here in Fontana,gorgeous facility,but if our race looked as bad as Talladega, I would never go again.Keep in mind I have never missed a race here since the speedway was opened in 1997. Does Nascar Care About Their Fans? Nascar has destroyed their own sport.

taylor (dallas)

bet 10 g's on favre in vegas this weekend. boo-yah!

Matt (Portland, ME)

Monday..the suck

Bob (Illinois)

OK Giant apologists. In the words of the late Sen. Benson to Dan Quayle. I know John Kennedy and sir you are no John Kennedy. The same is true to Eli. He is no Peyton Manning. Get over it. He is a good QB not a great one.

Gary (Overland Park, KS)

Let me beat the talking heads...what are the scenarios for a 2 loss USC to play in the National Championship game? We all know they are the best team in college football!

Ben (SW Ohio via Charlotte)

It smells like cabbage in the ONB. Also, was the World Series game last night not one of the best baseball games of the year? Also, Tom (West Bloomfield), can you hire me for the summer? Also, Buzz, stay fat.

Brett Favre (via mobile)

Boy it was fun out there today. I feel like a kid.

RAY GORDON REID ( FORT WORTH TEXAS 76129)

GOOD MONDAY MORNING BUZZ MY COMMENT AT 10.25 NOW BUZZH BUZZ HOWLADY KICKBALLDOING

Quentin (Green Bay)

I despise Brett Favre like you couldn't imagine, but I do have to say, he had one hell of a game yesterday.

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

And that's it...

Random Task (...)

I would have thrown a shoe instead of slapping...

stephanie (cincy)

I thought 'Gator fans do the 'Gator Chomp instead of slapping?

Chad (Las Vegas)

Did he have a popped collar? If so then it was okay to slap him.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

After West Nile Virus, SARS, bird flu, Africanized killer bees and Y2K I'm preconditioned to think that every big media storm about something that will kill us all is a bunch of hokum.

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

You just wait until the locusts come.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Sorry Clinton, I threatened to Rastall slap Nate many times this weekend, but never followed through on it.

Buzzmaster

  (10:29 AM)

Boooooooooooooooooooo.

Dominic (NYC)

Because of the Yankees, I get World Series Fever!

Police (Overland Park, KS)

Sorry for that ONB post by someone from our fair city Buzz. Don't worrry we have arrested him for smoking too much crack.

John (Lexington, KY)

Yes, a Rastall-slap for sure. Plus, dont get me wrong, I never said the slap was deserved.

Ryan (San Diego)

10k...sounds about right. Those ONB posters are usually pretty rich

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

That Kennedy quote wasn't to Dan Quayle was it? I thought it was someone else.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Rusty's post was actually even more boring than the NASCAR race

Jack (NB Canada)

2012 movie coming out next week.

Matt (Portland, ME)

Just wait till 2012 Tom

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Yep, I'm with Tom. People always seem to need to be scared of something.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Ben: I don't have hiring or firing power here. But you could try sending a resume anyway, so I could at least have a decent laugh.

Steve (NJ)

Gee Buzz, thanks for that completely unnecessarily monolithic post about the sad state of NASCAR.

Clay (Charlotte )

I'm pretty sure it was to Quayle, they didn't have to wait for him to get in office before they made fun of him.

Conspiracy #123343 (2012)

Tim Tebow (Gainesville)

Clinton I know how you feel. I bumped my head once. Maybe you heard about it.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Yesterday wasn't a good day for me. Power went off a 11:00, didn't come back on till 4:30. Missed the games and ended up with a half baked sweet potato pie. Didn't get my high def either.

Sean (Philly)

`I am still scared of the African Killer Bees..

Scott (Brewtown)

I am afraid of my neighbors dog. It's a bull mastiff. Damn thing's as big as a lion.

Jack (Toronto)

Gotta say, I have zero interest in seeing Avatar.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

So that extremely long ONB post was about NASCAR? Now I'm doubly glad I didn't read it.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

I concur Jack.

David (Ottawa)

Bah, who calls a meeting for 10:45? Why not just 11? See you all tomorrow.

Chad (Las Vegas)

How bad do the Saints whip the Falcons tonight?

Buzzmaster

  (10:33 AM)

They don't. They lose.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Boo on Francisco. Posted the same question in both the ONB and regular chat. Weaksauce.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Jack, cmon man, avater looks sweet!

Brian (Madison, WI)

That NASCAR ONB post had no chance of me reading it.

Chad (Las Vegas)

Wanna Bet?

Buzzmaster

  (10:34 AM)

Not the reaction I was looking for.

Clay (Charlotte )

Oh, heads up, Sears is having a special on free installation on shocks. Seeing as we are all poor here at TMB, thought you might want to know.

JB (TX)

Man, I'd hate to be around David (Ottawa) today, dude sounds like he could pull a steph at any minute.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I'm with you, Buzz. It's about time the Saints lost, and Atlanta's a pretty darn good team.

Jordan (Peoria)

Francisco...That's fun to say. Francisco...Francisco..Francisco

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I did start reading Rusty's post, and then once I realized it was about NASCAR, I moved on to the next steaming pile of fail.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

nice, I've ben rockin the 99 cent double cheese from BK, MMmmm

Chad (Las Vegas)

Does that free installation by Sears count for the shocks that LadyBuzz neads to intall on Buzz. You know becuase he's fat.

Greg (boston)

Atalnta's a pretty good team until they play another pretty good team, and they they look like a pretty bad team

Nate (Madison)

Just thought I'd also add that the NCAA's ruling on Dez Bryant is a complete joke.

Steve (NJ)

One of my colleagues is showing us photos of his Halloween party, where he dressed up like Butters/Professor Chaos. Did I mention this guy makes the SEC cry on a daily basis?

Chad (Las Vegas)

ATL's losses have come vs teams with a good passing game. They also have 2 people in their secondary hurt. Saints win by 13.

John (Lexington, KY)

Props to our resident Ref. Ed Hochuli. He goes into amazing detail on the questionable penalty calls and for challenge explanations.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

My roommate in college got into an argument with a bouncer and was 3/4 of the way into a haymaker, when he opened his hand and slapped him. Said roommate ran like Ben Johnson with yellow eyes after that.

I never understand that. You're drunk. The bouncer weighs 350 pounds. You're not winning that argument.

Neal (Philly)

Buzz, how many bags of Halloween candy have you eaten during the chat?

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

None.

Greg (boston)

I was going to go to a Halloween party dressed as Kenny...but then i remembered I'm an adult.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

There is a guy, that I can't stand, calling me right now. He'll be getting the machine.

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

I like your style.

JB (TX)

So here's my Halloween story, there was a ridiculously hot girl in a Dorothy costume, I went up to her and asked her why she wasn't wearing a costume (clever, huh?). Anyway, we talked for a while, she fed me candy from her basket, I thought I was making some progress...turns out her boyfriend was the Scarecrow. Oh well...

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Honestly, wouldn't a slap be more humiliating to the target than if you just hauled off and decked them?

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

I don't screw with bouncers. Usually they are roiding, irritable when dealing with drunks, and occasionally drinking themselves - bad combo.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I've never slapped anyone. I've been slapped, but never slapped anyone else.

Matt (IN)

Buzz, you weigh 350 pounds. How come you haven't beaten up Matt Damon?

Fred (Omaha)

Why won't Robbi answer the phone?

Matt (Portland, ME)

A slap should be a revocation of your man card.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

And a bouncer doesn't have that job because they are a wuss.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I think it's more humiliating if you punch them and it doesn't faze them.

Jordan (Peoria)

Is Mike in Houston a bouncer than

Nate (Madison)

Brenden, you forgot power tripping.

John (Lexington, KY)

Yea, I think the slap is humiliating in a lot of ways. Plus, it's kinda like a challenge

Sean (Philly)

Because Matt Damon is acting like he is 375 pounds.

Ryan (San Diego)

I was at a bar a few weeks ago and it was closing, the guy didnt want to leave so he tries to hit a big ol bouncer over the head with his beer bottle. Proceeded to gethis but kicked and struggle all the way outside getting repeatedly owned until the cops finally came and he got arrested. A good show tho

Matt Damon (Bristol)

I went as Jason Bourne for Halloween this year.

Brian (Madison, WI)

It seems like in Madison half the bouncers are former UW linemen so I don't mess with them.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

If everyone would just act right, there would be no need for bouncers.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

Or police or security guards or jumpy pizza delivery guys.

Neal (Philly)

That was a fake fred post. He doesn't capitalize his name and location.

fred (omaha)

buzz why did you post my imposter i never type in caps, do something

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

I backhanded a drunk dude once, I thought to myself 'this might be my only chance ever' and went for it. It felt good

Steve (NJ)

See, I don't give my number out to people I can't stand. Totally cuts down on the annoying calls.

Greg (boston)

Actually, the real reason not to mess with bouncers is usually they are very chummy with cops, so even if you're in the right, the cop will take the man's side and haul you away anyways...or so I'm told

John (Lexington, KY)

Alcohol tends to throw a wrench in those plans Robbi

Jack (Toronto)

Brian, I guess they have to do something with that Communications degree they earned, right?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Or if bars paid attention to how much they were overserving patrons or if morons would just stay home and get drunk.

Greg (boston)

of course, if bouncers weren't roiding, 65% of bar situations would end more peacefully

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

My guy is a big man. He is 6'4" and about 240. It seems like the little guys always want to try and start something with the biggest guy they can find. Just stupid.

Nate (Madison)

Jack, communications? You mean general studies.

Chad (Las Vegas)

All this slap chat and no Tom Cable reference?

Buzzmaster

  (10:43 AM)

No, there have been. But none have been terribly appropriate.

Nate (Madison)

Robbi, it's called "little man disease" Unfortunately I have a couple friends that have been diagnosed with this condition.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Ah, yes, the Napoleon syndrome: Little guys trying to beat up big guys.

Sean (Philly)

A slap if humiliating to the receiver if the slapper stays and laughs. However if the slapper runs away that is weaksauce.

Todd (Johnson City)

I am a bouncer. I don't like altercations but when it comes up I need to do my job.

Ryan (San Diego)

The bouncers are tired from working, listening to drunk idiots and are just looking for a reason to go. Probably hoping for a chance to whoop up on some drunk tough guy

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, don't you mean turrble?

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

I did.

Matt (IN)

The Tom Cable thing was funny until the allegations from the women came out. Now he's just a pansy.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

God I hate when people interrupt my MB time.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

I enjoy staying at home to drink. When ever I want to sleep I sleep. No waiting for the bathroom. No annoyingly loud music. No chance of going to jail.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Napoleon? I thought little guys trying to beat up big guys was Rocky Balboa syndrome.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

I do my best to make friends with the 6'4 and 250 lb guys.

Patrick Swayze (Roadhouse)

Be nice.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

Napoleon was actually average-to above compared to the rest of French population. Stop hating on the little people. :(

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People who throw wrenches need to get lives...and get out of the tool shop and back onto the practice field

Matt (IN)

Perfect time for a Swayze quote. Well done.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

A frowny face? Hochuli, where are ya?

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

I think he may have given up or run out of flags.

Patches O'Houlihan (Gym)

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!

Neal (Philly)

Rich, looks like you were right in wanting your team to practice all the time.

tom* (parkville, md)

Big does not necessarily mean tough. I'm huge, but most third graders would likely beat the snot out of me.

stephanie (cincy)

RR, you should be on the practice field right now, not on the MB. Illinois?

Sean (Philly)

Hey, Rich Rod, keep it down. According to ESPN Jim Harbaugh should be the coach of Michigan next year.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

Nope. I will emotion the hell out of the Morning Buzz. :D :) :( ;( etc etc.

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

Oh wow. Now you're fined.

Rich Rod (Ann Arbor)

Daylight Savings time cost me an hour of practice yesterday!

Jack Bauer (almost dying somewhere)

I beat the Pulse out of some big guys and I am little guy

John (Lexington, KY)

I like 99% of bouncers, but every once in a while you get a guy on roid rage who is just looking to cause problems to assert his authority.

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

Yeah, I agree. Not all of them are great, just like any job. One time LadyBuzz and a friend went outside to make a phone call and the guy wouldn't let them back in. They explained they had just come out 2 minutes earlier and he said no, it was too close to closing time and they weren't going back in. Closing was still 30 minutes away.

Jordan (Peoria)

You want to know who slapped alot? Bugs Bunny...That guy would lay down a duel slap at anytime

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Actually, the switch back to standard time would have given Rich Rod an EXTRA hour of practice. Fail!

Greg (boston)

I once told a guy pulling an attitude in the bar that he might be bigger stronger and faster, but I'd bleed all over him. He laughed and moved on...

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

As a former bartender who had to be his own bouncer, dealing with drunk a-holes when you're sober is one of the most annoying things you have to do.

Scott (Dallas, TX)

You have got to watch out for the bouncers in New Orleans. They are not all big but the are quick to use the pepper spray and taser.

JB (TX)

The bigger problem is dudes who leave the house looking for a fight, like they already made up their mind how the night is gonna go. If they get pounded by some huge bouncer I have no problem with it.

Steve (NJ)

Lunch today will be hot pastrami sammich with side pickel and a diet Dr. Browns Cream soda.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I do need to get my keys from the girl dressed as Fozzy Bear this weekend. I only knew her as Waka Waka and she knew me as gorilla man. Still not sure how she got my keys.

Matt (Portland, ME)

Front desk people at hotels also love the drunks.

Sean (Philly)

Bugs Bunny could also play every position in baseball at the same time, so that made up for the slaps.

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: Turkey and ham sandwich

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

nice, I'll have to use that bleed all over them, nice

Jordan (Peoria)

Lunch: Something on the way to the golf course

Greg (boston)

Lunch...how about a knuckle sandwich...and then maybe a steak tip sub

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: Probably a sandwich, chips, and an apple.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Well, after getting home from the weekend, I decided to just lay around for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, that means I didn't go to the grocery to get the fixings for my usual sandwich, chips, and soda, so I'm headed to Steak 'n' Shake.

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Stupid conference calls on Mondays, Lunch: Subway $5 footlong!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I've had multiple people try to fight me for cutting them off. Yeah, you're really proving how sober you are by trying to fight me for not giving you MORE alcohol.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

lunch: leftover lasagna.

Scott (Dallas, TX)

Lunch: Turkey Pesto sandwich from Quiznos with chips and a drink.

Neal (Philly)

Lunch: TV dinner

Robbi (Clinton, Ky.)

Lunch: Pizza, unsweet tea.

Jordan (Peoria)

You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed...Tombstone has some awesome one liners

stephanie (cincy)

Worst bouncer: When I lived in NYC, a woman I knew had cerebral palsy. On her birthday she wanted to go to a club with another friend that was in a wheelchair. I called ahead to make sure they were handicap accessible. They said yes, but when they got there, the bouncer told them there was a private party and he couldn't let them in.

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: The usual.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I love Steak N Shake. I wish we had them here.

Greg (boston)

hmmm, Steak and Shake...why can't Boston have good fast food

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

LUNCH: Maybe some chicken soup today. Not feeling 100 percent. Add in a nice grilled chicken sandwich and I think that'll cover it.

Ben (Tempe)

Lunch: Nap in my car

Matt (IN)

Lunch is probably nothing. Home sick from work and don't really feel like eating.

Matt (Portland, ME)

Lunch: Turkey and chips

Jack (Toronto)

Lunch: something healthy after all that candy over the weekend. Need to get the sugar out of my system.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

What would make anyone want to go out just to get into a fight? Seriously how low is your brain cell count when that is your goal?

Sean (Philly)

I saw a guy get cut off, then argue that the bartenders shouldn't have been serving him before he got drunk...then the cops were called and he hung around until they came. He ended up in the back seat of the cop car.

Nate (Madison)

Halloween, night before Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve makes for three rough nights within a two month stretch. And I'm not having the usual, think I'm going with a tuna sandwich and a powerade.

Internet Tough Guy (Cyberspace)

*pushes J.B. from Dunmore* What'd you say punk? Uh huh, that's right, I see you backing up.

Pink (Wherever)

I'm gonna start a fight!

stephanie (cincy)

Lunch: No time today. The bosses from overseas are here and we are busy.

John (Lexington, KY)

There are a lot of stupid people out there

Greg (boston)

J.B. has obviously never been out in Boston...it's like a parade of meatheads...Don't brush against them in the tight quarters of the bar either, their dander gets up pretty quickly.

Sean (Philly)

Don't go to bars on New Years and the night before Turkey day, those are the two amateur nights when all the bad drinkers come out.

Bob (Lowell)

Lunch...tuna casserole.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

I'm excited for MNF chat.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

What John in Lexington said. Some people just feel the need to take out their aggression on others.

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

thats why I carry nunchuks

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

If you are over the age of 16 and you still think that fighting is cool, you have crowned yourself a jag.

Todd (Johnson City)

I have this one regular that is really into politics and he will get into fights with the other patrons. I throw him out at least once a week. The only reason the guy is still allowed in the bar is because he is good friends with the owner.

Chad (Las Vegas)

I'm excited for the CFB chat today. Let the USC haters all have their day. USC will be the 2010's version of ND.

Robbi (Clinton Ky.)

Tuna casserole sounds good.

Bob (Lowell)

The bars I frequent neither have or need bouncers.

Nate (Madison)

I love when you do bump into someone and say sorry, they still give you the stare down. It's like, yep, my fault that I'm walking through a packed bar and you are standing right in the main walkway and I couldn't just teleport by.

Meathead (USA)

Dude, guy, hey, look at me in my MMA cutoff...You need to admire the pecs...what, you looking to closely jr....why did you turn away, you chicken or something...I'll be waiting for you

Matt (IN)

I love going out the night before Thanksgiving, but you won't catch me in a bar on New Years Eve. Never. Way too many fools out then.

Ryan (San Diego)

USC has one of the best freshman qb's to play in the last 20 years. A very young squad overall, trust me when I say, they are in GREAT shape the next 3 years

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

2010 version of ND? Overrated with a weak schedule?

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

A close buddy of mine owns a bar. No bounver. Patrons know better than to start up anything in there. Ever see Bronx Tale and the bikers? Just sayin.

JB (TX)

Lunch: something healthy, spent all weekend eating bad and Nate and Brianing it. Perfect sunny 65 degree weather so maybe I'll eat outside. Adios. And Buzz, you're still fat.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Honestly if anyone thought beating me up made them tough, they truly are lacking sufficient brain activity. I'm a 5'7" Italian who is just about Mike Gundy plus one with little muscle tone.

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

And we're done here. Thanks for stopping by everyone. We'll be back again tonight and then tomorrow morning. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

They are in great shape as long as they never have to play in the state of Oregon again.

JB (TX)

Correction, Ryan, SC is in great shape for the next 2, no way Barkley sticks around to his senior year.

Brendan (Louisville, KY)

Bye bye!

Greg (boston)

Yeah, sorry seems to only enrage them more, like somehow sorry is I want to hook up with your girlfriend and sister at the same time in their language

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Great chat today, all. Really enjoyed it. Have a great rest of your day, have some fun, and stay safe until tomorrow. Peace.

John (Lexington, KY)

Anyone who gets upset by getting bumped into when the guy apologizes immediately, is a tool. Now if someone comes barreling through a crowd, without apologizing, he deserves a foot being stuck out to trip him

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Alright, people, enjoy the rest of your day and stay classy!
