    Here we go again. He makes it seem as though he is drawng a monthly pension retiring from the sport. Didn’t he open a restaurant a few years ago and ended up closing it? He must have loads of cash to burn

    El WIngador in the news again talking about something that will never happen. Retire already and just go away. How about driving a truck like old times.

    We should take the time to focus on legends from the past such as stinky Pete Miernicki, Stu Birdie, Phil Lipper and Hal Shimmel

    I think people like him have part to do with why it’s so hard to convince people to take competitive eating seriously.

    One trick pony. FAIL written all over anything he plans to do related to competitive eating. Or restaurants in general.
