    Hey Gavonne after reading your report on Sean Gordon and his parents i hope you burn in hell without an asbestos suit. What you put in print is beyond belief. Cursing out Gordon and saying his mom was killed because he refused to say the great gavonne rocks shows that you are one sick fuck

    He is about 52 cards short of a full deck.

    I think its really mean to put that Gavonne link up on sites such as this, FB, Twitter, ANY popular site that Sean would see. Especially when it has nothing to do with anything being discussed. In all likeliness Sean wld not be reading a Gavonne blog so why put it up on sites he more than likely will be on. I don’t see the point in trying to cause such a wonderful family more pain. That was a hateful thing to do 🙁

    I think it was meant to enlighten people or eaters that still rub elbows with him when he shows up at competitive eating events. Not meant to hurt Sean or make light of the situation.

    Shall hope that’s the case but still feel there’s gotta be a way to get that point across w/o hurting the Gordons & by being more sensitive to what they’ve been thru & are going thru.

    Jesus, Gavonne. I don’t know why you would write something like that. You have to leave people alone sometimes. It’s not cool at all to write what you wrote. It’s not funny to anybody.

    I am wondering about OJ’s personal stance on “censorship.” Larell Marie is always delightfully optimistic and positive about competitive eating yet politely never backs away from what she believes. She stood up very tall about Nathan’s womens division antics by someone who has now, to my knowledge, disappeared from MLE and competitive eating (not going there to repeat just to cite LM’s upstanding character). I agree fully with LM that this post should never have been made and think it should be removed.

    This website is not the US government versus Google and causing harm around the world, it is very personal and in total there are not a lot of people who come here. It is a community, and there should be better community standards. It is not OJ’s job to censor though he certainly could if he chose to. Posters should exercise better judgment, but in this case, this is not about Gavonne and banning him but about exactly what Larell Marie says. Take it down because Sean might read it. I would not even go there to read it as it would upset me. Anyone reading now who cares can find JG and read or watch whatever they want. This kind of link does not belong here period. But OJ is the boss so it’s his call.

    Please OJ, think about what I and LM have written. As for the person who posted it, okay, this is another “problem” in the competitive eating community. Take it up individually or as groups among yourselves and keep JG out of the limelight here. That would be better than giving him a forum for his beyond horrible behavior in what he has written.

    I don’t hate anyone, it was meant as sarcasm & satire & I am sorry it was not taken that way.The misdirected anger at 9/11 was…well, u know what they say: if u have to explain a joke it didn’t work.It sure made people aware of my new CE site.I hope to feature all of u major eaters at one time or another.Look forward to seeing u, LOVE J-RO

    Fuck off Rose and leave all the competitive eaters out of you life. You are not one of them and never have been. You are a lowlife with nothing good to say. You attempt to find facebook friends through fake identities and yet the eaters usually figure you out. Are you that desparate? We know you are! If everything you say is a joke then you are one sick individual (which we know already). You need alot of help. Hopefully you get it before one of the eaters for whom you have hurt with words findsyou first.

    Maybe Pat Bertoletti , Sonya Thomas & Allen Goldstein will think twice when he asks them to say the great gavonne rocks on his videos

    Congrats Dave! I shall attempt to regain the title next yr.

    I knew who the top 3 men would be, but after Dave putt up a 60 in his 1st yr & having compEATed against Jamie in short contests before, I couldn’t accurately predict the order.

    Jamie & I were about to be presented w/ two options. The first one was both receive $500. I jumped in, & said we’ll take it. Jamie agreed, & we never heard the 2nd option…Hard to believe it would have been better & likely old have involved an eat-off.

    Thankfully, no one spoke the name of pure evil 3 times, so it was a no show.

    Gjoe has never hidden that he’s a ticket broker. Commonly referred to as a scalper. It says so on his fb page. It is mostly legal these days and when it isn’t, its like a parking ticket. Tim Janus has worked as a day trader & that too is referred to as a scalper.

    So was there only a first prize money award? And JG, GJoe makes no secret of his occupation as far as I know. You may have legally served for your crime but writing some of the things you write is really beyond inappropriate. You hurt people badly, really innocent people. Stop and think before you write these things on here. What you write is not funny. What others write about you is not funny either but I think you go way too far. If you want friends you have to know how to be a friend. Respect works both ways.

    Nice to see GJoe wearing a Great Gavonne teashirt. I wonder if he intends to wear it when he competes in future events. Not autographed though
