Thumbs up Joey Chesnut is the MAN!! Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest!!

Made me wanna hurl but it was fun to watch. I can't imagine eating 5 hot dogs in 12 min. The competitive eating circuit is nuts. Some of the things they eat...
Mayonaise
Chicken wings
Strawberry shortcake
Cheesecake
Pigs feet... yes, I said Pigs feet
Jalapenos
Gyoza... ( had to look that one up )

Kobayashi gave it a good run but fell 66-63. I thought he puked at the end ( instant DQ ) but they did not call it.

Chesnut was an animal!!

120-lb Molly Schuyler. Read up.

From Wiki:

In early 2014, Schuyler broke the 72 ounces (2.0 kg) steak eating world record, having eaten it in 2 minutes and 44 seconds at Sayler's Old Country Kitchen in Portland, Oregon.[11] Schuyler holds a similar May 2014 record at Amarillo's Big Texan Steak Ranch, eating a 72 ounces (2.0 kg) steak with side dishes in 4 minutes 58 seconds and returning for another meal (with a total time of 14 minutes 57 seconds for both meals).[12].......

.......In April 2015, she returned to Big Texan Steak Ranch and ate three 72-oz. steak dinners in 20 minutes. She completed the first meal in a record 4 minutes 18 seconds, beating her own (and the restaurant's) record by 40 seconds.[18] In the same month, she also ate a 55 ounces (1.6 kg) Andy's Hamburger in 2 minutes 12 seconds in Mount Olive, North Carolina.

I find this stuff to be very weird, strange, like in a carnie kind of way.

In January 2014, she won Wing Bowl 22 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She ate 363 wings, a Wing Bowl record. The next day, February 1, 2014, she won the IHOP Pancake Bowl, as well as winning the bacon-eating contest at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival in Des Moines by eating 5 pounds of bacon in 3 minutes.

Good God. I wish I'd never looked. (And it's not her appearance. That doesn't bother me. It's the way she shovels that glop into her pie-hole that caused me to lose my appetite.)

I wonder if those people let the food digest afterwards, or in the competitive eating parlance, have a reversal of fortune?

They typically let it digest. Joey has talked about it being an "interesting couple days afterward" as the body works it's way through processing it all.

The jaws are back.

Miki Sudo and the women get the Nathan's Famous festivities underway at 10:45 a.m. ET. on ESPN3.

Joey Chestnut and the men take the stage around noon on ESPN2.

I agree with rcooled. Just gross on so many levels.

Thus its greatness.

You too, if you’re able, can come up with something stupider and retire in comfort.

In the meantime, Joey is my hero. At my Family Reunion a couple years ago, I failed miserably.

The grandkids love me still.

I totall disagree!

ESPN has cut away from F1 coverage to cover pillow fighting, corn hole, and climbing a slippery slope. Way dumber than competitive eating.
