Down Goes Kobayashi! Down Goes Kobayashi!

1/2, cuz I get sick from watching all of those shows, and everytime I eat one, I think about Kobayashi and I can't eat anymore. :P

LOL! We're BBQing hotdogs for lunch right now! Glad I didn't watch the competition.

I could get into the mid 20's MAYBE push 30 - I looked in to this about 10 years ago when the record was 29 HDBs and I was still known as "Garbage Guts"...

Besides, pies are my realm of "expertise"... we'll see how it goes next Saturday.

One of these days I'm gonna try the "gallon of milk in an hour" feat, document it and post it as an article.

It would be priceless if you could put that on Youtube.

The gallon of milk gets easy, you just gotta "train" for it...we used to do it during practice (it was a football thing, but those guys brought it over)...and after drinking gallons of water all day, you just had to handle the heaviness of milk...but it got down...

I'm lactose intolerant.

and by that, i mean track practice...lord knows i never played high school football...i'm too smart for that ; - )

well lactose doesn't wanna put up with your shit either TB!

Making fun at the expense of a guy's genetic ancestory as it relates to a medical condition? Gee thanks a lot but at least I was blessed for not having sickle cell...

to be honest, i stole it from a chuck norris fact... Chuck Norris is not lactose intolerant, he just refuses to put up with lactose's s**t.

The Sports Shaman is lactose replusant...

The challenge with the gallon of milk is holding it down for ten minutes once you're done. That your stomach holds milk longer than water due to the protein content. And your stomach isn't made to hold a gallon of anything - theoretically. So it shoots back out.

There is also debate over whether the stomach acids and the basic nature of milk forces a chemical reaction that expands the volume in your stomach.

I think it's all a bunch of crap because my stomach IS that big! And I'll explain the rest in an article when I get around to doing it. I LOVE milk! And I seriously drink about a gallon of it a day...

JuT - I love Chuck Norris references! I don't know why, but Chuck can do it all... We went over this before in our Chuck Norris vs Chuck Bednarik debate! I think solving that battle would cause the universe to implode...

I don't eat hot dogs. I know how they are made.

When I meant upset, I meant it upset Kobayashi cuz he didn't win it...

How many did he eat? And what about Sonya Thomas? Did she get 50?

Kobi had 63 -- he tried to stuff, like, three extra HDBs into his mouth as time expired, and had a little reversal of fortune, for which they deducted some dogs. I'm not sure how many Sonya ate, but I don't think she even broke 45. Patrick Bertoletti was 3rd, with 49 HDBs.

I'm mad I slept right through it... damned time zones

63? Wow, that's more than I though he could do!

Looks like we have our generations' Frazier-Ali rivalry!!!

Who sponsored the event? Are the hotdogs raw or cooked?

Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs of Coney Island. The dogs were definitely cooked (raw would be really disgusting).

OMG!! They said that? What a bunch of retards. ESPN, FYI, You're not ESPN8, the ocho, you're just ESPN. Who the hell said that? Probably John Kruk...

Why the automatic "-" for asking questions? Or do you guys prefer yesterday's profane laced mudslinging? Hell, look beyond the commenter's name when assessing the comment, thank-you very much. Ever think that there might be a possible causative link there?

asking that question is like asking what's the World Series. You should know all ready

aren;t all the hotdogs you buy in the store precooked or something?

Or the interviewer with Don Larsen after he pitched his perfect game. "Is this the best game you've ever pitched?"

Oh bullshit you asswipes, how the hell should I inherently know who sponsored the goddamn event?

And why the hell the venom for asking if the hotdogs are cooked or not? JFC, the way these contestants shovel them done with milk was only a simple polite fucking question. You guys are worthless hateful pricks.

All hot dogs are precooked, but still - cold would be really freakin nasty. 66 hot dogs is insane. I like that guy Bertoletti - there was a great story about him in the Reader (he's from Chicago) - he actually has lost A LOT of weight since entering the world of competitive eating. As far as the announcers go, there was no way they were being serious about this being the greatest this and that in history - it definitely was in jest.

We got a klan rally perculating here. Lynch the black guy for not knowing enough about hot dog eating contests. I was RIGHT about this website from the beginning.

dude it's 117 out today, I am not going outside until the sun does home.

Coney Island?

I'll have the honor of doing that cuz...well... I'm 1/2 Arab, and...well, I know HOW!!

It's okay Romiezzo - I think that Nathan's are all beef.

I call that bluff! =)
