    Rich,Why in the hell would you eat hotdogs during the Nathans qualifying rounds? Was the $250. worth not being allowed to eat in MLE events….You coul’nt beat Chestnut and you’ll never beat Gilbert””’

    Why do people make assumptions about things that they do not know about directly?

    1) Rich is retired, unranked, he might have no obligations to MLE at this time.
    2) MLE has in the past has given permission to do independent contests on a case by case basis.
    3) At 70 something odd years of age i don’t think he cares what some anonymous commentor has to say.
    4) At 70 something he should be doing whatever makes him happy, i know i will.

    Who isn’t a fan of this guy? and his wife as well. She helps pave the way for women in CE and now they are giving any girl that can eat 10 hot dogs thousands of dollars. Rich is a class act. This contest would have been very exciting without him but with him it was even better.

    Wow, Rich beat every ranked eater except Kobayashi. Thanks for great information on that and thanks remaining anon said. YouTube has way too many videos of poor quality but for something like finding Rich and Carlene in action, I bet it is great. 70 with dentures and he can still put them away. I am certain that he added much to the contest. Everyone, at any age, should try to do what makes them happy. If he cares about his health, and I am sure that he does, doing a contest every once in a while and adding to the spirit of competitive eating while enjoying himself seems perfect. Why would he care to qualify for Nathans again? Been there, done that and so much much more.
