Who's the favorite to win this thing,Kobayashi or Sonya the black widow Thomas?I still think it should be an hour contest and not 10 minutes.This stuff is crazy,there is bound to be a casualty soon at one of these events.My hunch is someone will bite their tongue and bleed to death.Sonya weighs a little over 100 pounds and eats something like 45 hot dogs with buns and a gallon of lemonade during an eating contest.Wouldn't want to be around that woman the next day.

They need the big black guy from Seinfeld that manages Monk's coffee shop to bitch at people for bringing their own condements to the contest.Love that dollar dtore dijon mustard,it makes the dogs and bratwurst.

have to go w/ the American here CHESTNUT

Is Ed Cookie Jarvis relegated to being the very capable,Sodbuster Kenny Jaye of the competitive eating contest world?You would have had to have gotten Vern Gagne's All Star Wrestling out of WTCN tv in Minneapolis to know who Kenny Jaye was.In every match he would teeter on the brink of pinning his opponent when he turned it on as announcer Roger Kent would say.He would blow his wad and then get pinned a few seconds later.Every once in awhile they would match a flunkie against a flunkie and I think Kenny Jaye would beat George Scrap Iron Gadasky from Great Falls,Montana who's claim to fame was dying during a match.Kenny's biggest claim to fame was getting in the ring with Muhamad Ali and fighting dirty annoying Ali.
