Accused Eating Cheats:

Bob Shoudt: Nathans Philly–Saying he had more plates than he did.
Brian Subich: Nathans Philly–Saying he ate more than he did.
Sonya Thomas: Carmine’s Meatballs–Refusing to pick up her debris on the table.
Rich Lefevre: Watermelon–Seen and accused by a local police officer of throwing chunks of melon under the table.
Kobayashi: Nathans Coney Island 2006–blowing chunks out of his nose and acting like it didnt happen. Let’s not also forget Koby blowing bun debris out his nose a few years earlier, and not getting called on it, Booker would have been the champion.

For those sticking up for Koby, cheating is cheating. Does the degree of cheating matter? In baseball pitchers use stuff to mark the ball, hitters use too much pine tar(George Brett) hockey players purposely use sticks that are illegal knowingly, Sammy Sosa used a corked bat the list is endless. If we’re ready to throw Subich under the bus, then there are quite a few more who should be thrown under with him. Some of whom we all cheer for. The perfect example of how we are all hypocrites took place the other night in Shea Stadium coincidentally. Guillermo Mota from the NY Mets returned from a 50 game suspension for using steroids. Who did he pitch to? Barry Bonds who admits he took stuff but claims he had no idea what it was. What did Mets fans do?? They cheered wildly for Mota, and booed Bonds endlessly. Total double standard. If you root for any pro sports team, I have news for you, you’re cheering for a cheater, every team has them. That certainly doesn’t make it right, but it does make us all hypocrites.

I feel if you are going to stuff hot dogs someplace, put them in your pants….this will have a double bonus….you get credit for more dogs, and you may impress more bunnettes. However, if you dunk them beforehand, this could cancel said impression, and may turn out to be a double negative.

I dont think B. Subich is the appropiate person to get on the wrong side of. Life must have little meaning for those who give him a hard time.

Failing to go back into a dunk cup for half a bun you know is there during a contest is crappy and a crime of passion. That person should be penalized double and be ashamed. We’ve all heard about a guy or two that has gotten by with an unseen reversal or debris. Thats an issue that needs to be addressed. Showing up, INTENDING to cheat is Murder-One. This guy has gotten away with it for too long.
Ban him. He stuffed his cups full of bread last year at Philly, Norfolk, and then was ballsy enough to do it on the helmet cam on the fourth at the sacred Coney Island Contest. DID YOU SEE THAT? This is beyond shame. I understand there’s photos of him now droppping dogs in his cups, and video of him ‘cleaning up’ his area before anyone could catch him. I also heard that on top of dropping half his dogs into cups, he added a full plate to his total when asked how many he ate.
Everybody watch his cups tomorrow. If he breaks the duece for ONCE without cheating, I’ll eat Dale Boones hat (in 12 minutes)

Jake, while I agree that it is wrong to cheat, to say if Subich has even half a hot dog in his cups should constitute a suspension is crazy. I would venture to guess that just about every single eater at one time or another has debris in his/her cup, so do we then suspend anyone whoever has debris? If this were the case, Crazy Legs would be serving a lifetime suspension for the numerous contests that he has been accused of having excessive debris. Also on the same point of “cheating” in last years Nathans final Kobayashi blew chunks out his nose into his cup, and calmly swallowed them back up. He knew he did this, he knew that to blow stuff out of your mouth or nose is a DQ. All you have to do is watch last years tape and watch the reaction of Joey Chestnut to know that he should have been DQ’d. So do we now suspend Kobayashi for knowlingly continue to eat after heaving chunks out his nose like nothing happened? Yes cheating is wrong, and there should be consequences, but I would certainly doubt that if Subich is cheating that he’s the first to do it, but if he is caught he should be suspended. I guess we’ll just have to see what happens on Sunday.
