Comment on Bill “El Wingador” Simmons announces retirement by Rhonda Evans

I really don’t see Koby coming back to MLE either, but like 11:11 said, stranger things have happened. I think the bridge he nearly burned is still partly intact.

I know most people who know much more about MLE will disagree with me when I say this, but who’s to say that Nathan’s won’t try to work out a deal for a one-event-contract specifically for Nathan’s? I could see it now, billed as: “Six-Time Nathan’s World Champ and CE Legend Takeru Kobayashi Versus Five-Time and Reigning Champ, Joey Chestnut?”

Talk about crowds at Surf and Stillwell! Talk about ESPN exposure! You’d have the most followed Nathan’s finals of all time!

I would think Nathan’s would have everything to gain and nothing to lose, but not so for MLE, unless they were well compensated by Nathan’s.

Frankly, I’d like to see it.

Whatever you think, Kobayashi has not had so much press since his arrest (not including the former days). Still cannot see MLE asking him back but stranger things have happened. Do not even think he wants that, I think he just wants to show that he can beat Joey in hotdogs. And it is MLE which will decide whether or not their eaters could ever participate again in Wingbowl, assuming they were asked to. Unless Joey goes independent…..now think about that……..what could possibly be in that for him and the others top eaters. Wingbowl, not even the contest is the main event no matter how it is judged. Thus, good for Kobi for winning, good for all who participated and enjoyed it, it is independents in Wingbowl in one way or the other.

Most of these sponsors that Kobi made money from are one shot deals because they cant come up with the bread to pay him for future events. With MLE he never had to worry about that cause it was and still is a constant cash flow for superior eaters. See what happens when the well runs dry

WIP is just trying to play Joey. They played their hand & now their stuck. Hope they enjoy repeatedly handing Kobi the fake his $$. No real eater has the guts to face him & Joey has already proved he’s better by beating his ass in hot dogs. Kobi’s dream is to take a title from Joey & the league won’t even let him try. Joey is #1 & always will be. Kobi should pack up the little woman & head home. After signing with WIP he is old news. The only pr he’s getting is the news he pays to have reported about himself.

Sorry to see this show go. It was a median between what we do and avg. Joe’s. It was doing a great job opening the doors of understanding to avg ppl. I think it helped us on our way to be considered a legitament sport.

Just drink water and enough food to keep it in your stomach for that…

I’ve always felt that there may be scores of Joeys and Sonyas out there, but until all the worldly shrubbs get fully beaten, so to speak, we may never know for sure.

Being a stat-oriented person. given the current US population at over 312,000,000, of which approximately 230,000,000 are age 18 and over, the aforementioned contention just seems to make sense to me.

Having said that, looking at those numbers, it is truly mind-boggling just how talented the most elite competitive eaters are, especially considering how many more “pros” there are in more recognized sports.
