    This is why I come to eatfeats. Very interesting article. I like this paragraph in particular.
    ” I’ve no wish to belittle competitive eating as a sport, albeit one whose governing body explicitly warns against training of any sort on health grounds. But it is one of those events that seem to exist as a satire on sport itself. While sharing characteristics of more conventional contests, it offers the right amount of bonkers distance to function as a prism through which the absurdities of mainstream sports can be viewed.”

    You are an annoying arrogant piece of filth that thinks he knows it all by refraining from sounding impulsive. . I dont necessarily have to speak eloquently or use proper punctuation to get my point across . Why dont you spell check every syllable of my comments if its such a sight for sore eyes since you have nothing better to do on a hot summer afternoon , Get a life you idiot

    “This is why I come to eatfeats.” Okaaay, if you say so. It probably doesn’t have anything to do with commenting constantly just to see your moniker, monopolizing entire threads with your brilliant opinions, or taking pot-shots at people you don’t even know.

    Dude, it’s the weekend – go outside, get a life. You’re taking this way too seriously.

    No, you don’t have to speak eloquently, “Beautiful” Brain, (not that I think for one moment that you actually COULD) the feces coming out of your mouth is enough by itself. You keep putting this site and the people on it down. But the truth is that your trash site would never get any visitors if you didn’t spend most of your time on eatfeats, advertising for your site. Any attention, even negative, is useful to get the occasional visitor to your site. You’re an attention whhore (yes, I used the “hh” on purpose). You are nothing as a competitive eater and your site is even worse than that other loser’s site, World Loser Dale Boone.

    There is a saying, Seiken, that maybe you should think about. Ponder: “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”

    Unless you and your cronies (or are all of those just different accounts of yours?) start showing some respect around here, no one is going to respect you or your site. Competitive eating might be a competition, but websites about competitive eating are NOT, or SHOULD not be, seeing that there are very few.

    Now crawl back in your hole, Seiken.

    PS: bb.com did NOT report this first.

    Hey ugly Brian you’re a real tough guy when you hide behind the keyboard too scared to post your real name. This isn’t Brian just someone that deplores haters and miserable fools such as yourself. Brian seiiken doesn’t need eatfeats to promote his site . His site has spoken for itself way before eatfeats came along. So continue hating . Continue calling Brian names. The more you hate the more visitors flock to his site. I mean really how can you trust a site that allows a convicted stalker to post anti semetic links on this blog which is considered by the ignorant to be the forefront of all competitive eating news

    Brian Seiken is one of the greatest legends of competitive eating of all time and he should be enshrined immediately in the Hall of Fame. He is a He sets the example for others to follow.

    How did Stallion’s one comment turn this thread into a bashing session?? Let’s get back on topic – it’s much more interesting 🙂 Stallion, how do you get to read it? When I go to the link, it indicates I need a subscription 🙁

    How did his comment turn into a bashing session ? Very simple. On another thread i mentioned something about my apt being void of cockroaches and he stuck his two stinkin cents in with rotten reply when he had no biz doing so. I dont like this idiot. He or she is a nasty troublemaker . At least Rhonda Evans sees both sides of an issue. This asshole just hates and hates especially when it comes to me

    Before you know it Larell you will become Seikens next victim. Look at the females in CE he has criticized over and over after writing nice things about them.

    That will never happen you anonymous troublemaking jackass. All you do is sit on your lonely ass waiting for another friendship that in your sick mind i supposedly sabotaged . This no life moron prob has a list of every eater in MLE hanging on his wall along with a pic and w checkmarks next to each CE that i dont associate with anymore . I could just picture you with a felt magic marker “Hmm Seiken screwed up another one just now . Oh Goody another checkmark for my collection” . . This commentary describes you to a science
