    Why? They have the MLG. Apparently everything that requires a minute amount of skill is a sport nowadays.

    This years Nathan's Hot Dog contest sucked.


    I think it's jumped the shark.

    It used to be something I always looked forward to since the early 2000s.

    Wait, how has it jumped a shark?

    And rep points to whomever can name what TV show the phrase "jumped a shark" came from? (Do you think Clutch minds these little rep games I play? If he does I will stop)

    Because it used to kick sooooo much ass.

    Now it's ehh.

    Kobe yashi didn't show up because of contract issues. CONTRACT ISSUES.

    Just show up, break the dogs, dip the bread and swallow it. He wasn't there (sort of) because of contractual problems.

    I think under the Major League Eating, Kobayashi would only be getting around the MLE, while he obviously was looking for the max. I don't know tho, he's 32, seems awfully old for a max.
