Joey Chestnut vs. Kobayashi

No, more like shooting free throws in an empty gym while knowing someone is competing against you in another gym for a prize.

This guy knew he was in a competition but decided to be lazy.

 

Yeah Kobayashi said no one knows who he is in Japan.

 

I downed 3 dozen wings in an hour, where do I rank?

 

Wait so Kobayashi was not there???

 

Kobayashi made this eating contest what it is today.

 

Let's be honest - eating 69 in any environment is ridiculous. I think the people that have been watching these things for a while know what he accomplished today.

 

Probably under your arms.

 

QFTTT

 

Not even close :

You obviously missed the 40k people there at Nathan's Famous and the live nationally televised spectacle.

Decided to be lazy... lol

 

Chestnut FTW

Kobayashi was too scared to show

 

Its an eating contest. Does it matter who wins? Most embarrassing contest ever created. "Hey, let's see who can eat themselves to death the fastest!"
Honestly, I just don't see the appeal.

What is Nathans? Hot dog brand?

EDIT: Googled....apparently it's a restaurant? If I got the right brand.

 

It's a brand of hot dogs. I prefer Hebrew National myself.

 

I thought the announcers' reaction to the Sports Nation question was hilarious. The question was is competitive eating a sport? Overwhelmingly America answered NO...83% to 17%.

The one guy, who probably works for MLE, sounded upset and said tell Joey Chestnut this isn't a sport. Suck my balls it isn't a sport.

 

Not everything that's competitive is a sport. Scrabble is not a sport. Magic: The Gathering is not a sport. Video games are not sports. Marching band is not a sport. Eating a ****ing hot dog on the 4th of July isn't a ****ing sport.

 

I'm sry I take back my gratz to him, not that he cares. If he was there then Chestnut would have pushed himself more. Being competitive pushes you to your limits.

 

It is a restaurant that branded their hotdogs. I love them but I also love Hebrew National, love kosher beef.

 

He wasn't allowed to because he didn't sign a contract with MLE. So no, he wasn't too scared. He just wants to be able to compete in other competitions because a MLE contract wouldn't let him do that. Kobayashi won today, who cares if he wasn't in the same place as Chestnut.
