In memory of the events of 8 years ago, here's the NY Daily News article about the 1998 Nathan's qualifier for civil servants held in the Windows on the World restaurant at the top of the World Trade Center.

    Brian dig yourself. You act like a jealous child. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe OJ got the story from the NY Daily News first? He probably has an RSS feed to save time, versus doing individual searches and visiting every eater’s website every hour of the day.

    This site’s author is busy enough as it is, and instead of patting him on the back for this site, which is virtually an almanac of competitive eating that benefits everyone, you pout and whine like a baby when he doesn’t notice something on your site.

    It’s always the same story with you, like a song on broken record, played over and over. It is irritating to say the least. My wish for you is that you grow up before you start drawing Social Security.

    If you watch msnbc’s “9/11: As Is Happened” you can hear George Shea call into The Today Show about 20 minutes into the program, apparently he was coming out of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel when it happened and saw a tire land on a car near him!

    anony 9:52 Why don’t you think before you convict. Unlike others who’s names i wont mention, i dont come on here looking for sympathy or report on my website that ive been tossed aside like an old shoe and should have a shrine in my honor. And unlike certain individuals i never delve into the past and complain about how i finished in a contest that took place seven years ago .And unlike certain individuals i never complain about never getting my just due in regard to my eating accomplishments with the IFOCE. You and a select few seem to be quick to pull the trigger whenever a link to my editorial appears on this website. Why are you so sure that i posted that link? I believe that you are the jealous child that looks to find fault with anything or everything i post . I’snt life beautuful when you have the luxury of slamming an innocent individual without posting your real name? It takes a real man or shall i say a “woman” to post something like that. I think i ve done my share of patting OJ on the back on numerous occasions. You my friend or shall i say enemy are part of the select few haters that post the same broken record played over and over. You still hold a grudge because of something i posted on my website in regard to your pathetic eating ability or you as a person. Do us all a favor and STFU whenever you happen to notice a link to my website or anything else that relates to my site. You are one hate laden asshole that needs to address me with your gripes in person instead of convieniently posting as anonymous which is about the culmination of how your live your life

I happen to be in the right I was not given a fair shake I yes I had my share of publicity. if you want to make a point don’t use me in the future since u have declared me persona non Grata and it only lessens your argument…Don lerman

    Brian thank God for your sake that our fellow competitive eaters refrain from chiming in, because about 90 percent would agree with me. That same 90 percent. however, feels sotrry for you and don’t want to cause trouble. Get your act together Brian, okay?

    I am not OJ Brian. OJ has more class than, and no time to, resort to such shallow nuances. This is your speed. I really want to root for you. Stop the nonsensical comments and I will. Okay? I really mean it Brian. And I’m someone you know, but I don’t want to hurt your feelings okay?

    I once again tuned into the best eater’s website BB.com and saw some great footage of the Cannoli contest. When possible, you can count on Brian for great coverage and interviews of an IFOCE event.

    You do not have to like BB or agree with what he has to say, but come on, give him some credit. You all come on this site because of interest in CE and like it or not, BB is a part of CE. No beating around the bush, just an honest unbiased opinion (well, most of the time).

    I think this anonymous OJ Rifkin character wants eatfeats to be a place where eaters and eating fans can turn for all the CE info, no matter what league or challenge. Unfortunatley alot of it has become about hate and attacking others just because of their opinions. People need to grow up and take their childish attacks somewhere else.

    Is it really that important who OJ is? What matters it that SHE/he takes the time to pass the information along that you yourself would probably never find. DEAL WITH IT!!!!

    Keep up the great work OJ and same to Beautiful Brian.

    So the anonymous poster was Tim Eater X Janus . Better it came from him than anyone else because i know for a fact that Brian thinks the world of Tim. Tim is the only one that can get away with constructive critisim without anyone jumping down his throat. Good job Timothy

    If by remote chance the anonymous poster is Janus, then he is one two faced b– . When he dressed as Helen Haggerty and competed in a contest, OJ Rifkin stopped posting for two weeks because he didnt care much for being shown up. In retaliation , Janus tried getting all the IFOCE members to boycott his site for good. Now he changes his tune and praises OJ for all the hard work he’s put forth ? Make up your mind and thats Mr Janus to you !
