  • drumboy206, on 07/04/2009, -6/+28That's over 15 pounds of food and just short of 20,200 calories. Gross.

  • ogmak, on 07/04/2009, -3/+24Joey Chestnut: American Hero.
  • bicyclethief, on 07/04/2009, -1/+22That's why you don't get the big bucks, the ladies, and colon cancer.
  • dinglebutt, on 07/05/2009, -1/+18Meanwhile, in Ethiopia...
  • HeDiggMe, on 07/04/2009, -2/+19He is the Michael Phelps of eating, but without the performance-enhancing weed.
  • ShingoEX, on 07/04/2009, -3/+18No need to be an ***** about your *****. Get over yourself.

    Butthurt over a hurt butt.
  • cogitocogito, on 07/04/2009, -1/+15Except that Kobayashi ate more than he ever had before. Give Joey the props he deserves. Kobayashi put up a helluva fight.
  • Pugmonkeys, on 07/04/2009, -5/+19U S A! U S A!
  • Vzylexy, on 07/04/2009, -0/+14Joey Chestnut was on Man v. Food last season, and that ***** ate a 5lb. burrito in three minutes.
  • burntcookie90, on 07/04/2009, -0/+10that would be a good way to go about this competition
  • killamockingbrd, on 07/05/2009, -0/+9That was so horrible I have to digg you.
  • CaptObvious, on 07/04/2009, -0/+8Every time I read about Kobayashi I can't help but think of Usual Suspects.
  • Volath, on 07/04/2009, -0/+8Whatever dude. This isn't a matter of Kobayashi doing poorly. It's a matter of someone better coming a long. I remember when Kobayashi started getting famous after winning this contest a few times and he would win by eating around 54 hot dogs. This year he ate like 63.
  • Grova, on 07/04/2009, -0/+7I'll say it again....that's a lot o' wieners.
  • LomasLou, on 07/04/2009, -2/+8A real sausage fest
  • DeviantDragon, on 07/04/2009, -1/+7Yeah, but how would he fare against a bear?
  • wdw25, on 07/04/2009, -0/+6How? it happened this morning live?
  • se7envii, on 07/04/2009, -1/+7Don't feed the troll, he might ***** bricks!
  • Feener, on 07/04/2009, -1/+6It's genuinely called the Yellow Mustard Belt? I thought King of the Hill made it up!
  • Volath, on 07/04/2009, -1/+6How in the ***** hell could you be offended at someone stating a goddamn fact? If a guy eats so much food in 10 minutes that he looks pregnant it's obviously going to be a series of huge dumps.

    Obviously a troll.
  • thejackyl, on 07/05/2009, -2/+7Competitive eating has to be the absolute pinnacle of Western decadence. It disgusts me.
  • HappyScrappy, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4It's generally referred to as the "coveted Yellow Mustard Belt".
  • jankind, on 07/06/2009, -0/+4ESPN has become an absolute joke. First, it was guys playing cards. Now ...guys eating hotdogs.
    Bury me, neither are sports.
  • Coven, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4that would be considered a performance enhancing drug, no?
  • keviniskool, on 07/04/2009, -1/+5Kobayashi already fixed his home country

  • JigoroKano, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4Slightly less disgusting than the Houston 500.
  • Coven, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4Amazing, because it happened today.
  • Puppetfunk, on 07/04/2009, -0/+4ESPN
  • MacEnvy, on 07/05/2009, -0/+3I think of the Kobayashi Maru test in Star Trek.
  • inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+3America is #1!
  • dmgov04, on 07/04/2009, -1/+4"Under sunny skies and with a giant blowup Heintz ketchup container at the side of the stage, the contestants got off to a start they could relish." - Relish. Hilarious.
  • twiztidsinz, on 07/04/2009, -1/+4SPORTS channels duh!
  • kaiteng, on 07/05/2009, -0/+3If they used the old 12 minutes rule, they, both Chestnut and Kobayashi, could easily break 80 dogs. Chestnut is one-of-the-kind, but also kudos to Kobayashi for good sports for last three years.

    I hope there will be more contenders to Chestnut discovered during his hotdog reign, just like how Chestnut was discovered during Kobayashi's era.
  • Lasereth, on 07/05/2009, -0/+3John Titor?
  • Xaevier, on 07/04/2009, -0/+3The real winners are the makers of toilet paper and plastic buckets.
  • GeekNurse, on 07/04/2009, -0/+3They have an officially licensed WiiWare title for the Wii: http://www.gamepro.com/article/previews/177168/maj ...

    You can make your competitor vomit by farting or burping on them. It was one of the most insanely disgusting and fun games I've playing in a long time.
  • gcacho, on 07/04/2009, -2/+5Joey Chestnut is Michael Jordan of competitive eating.
  • twig978, on 07/05/2009, -0/+2Damn! Thats impressive, where the hell does it all go? Really can you imagine fitting 68 of them in your stomach?
  • CaptObvious, on 07/05/2009, -0/+2Kobayashi was the name of Keyser Söze's (Kevin Spacey) lawyer. Spacey's character got the name off of the bottom of the mug that Dave Kujan was drinking out of.
  • Ledfloyd101, on 07/05/2009, -0/+2I'm sure being the world's fastest hot dog eater is gonna get him real far in life
  • chukd, on 07/05/2009, -0/+2How about a $20,000 check for winning? I think 20 grand would help out a lot of people.
  • Praelior, on 07/05/2009, -0/+2Like being on ESPN
  • mjolnir, on 07/05/2009, -0/+2For some reason, this story brings up an image of Peter Griffin suffering a stroke.
