    If stinky miernicki ate 14.5 the dogs must have been tiny or the judges gave him the benefit of the doubt at the end not deducting enough.

    Yeah right . Enough of this fake bull. Anything over 23 hot dogs means that someone is messing with performance enhancing drugs. Maybe we should start examining what ingredients are mixed into this hot tea or piping hot red lemonade that some of the eaters bring to the table . Hmmm???

    With a performance like that I suggest hall stick to paying the tampa rays for the right to get their autograph. He aint shit. If you cant eat 50 hot dogs you aint shit.

    I would like to know how stinky peter murniki is allowed to compete in two nathans qualifiers while Brad Sciullo is banned for life. Can you explain the fact that one great eater with unlimited potential is disallowed in and the other who is probobly one of the worst eaters in competitive eating history is allowed in.

    Brad Sciullo is a punk, non-rule abiding, loud mouth know it all who has no respect for rules and regulations. He disrespected the Sheas and make an uncalled for threat to an eater of another organization. Who needs his type in the IFOCE?

    Grow up Brad and come back when you are ready to be a team player.

    i beg to differ anonymous 2 . Brad is a highly intelligent young man and a conoisseur of all types of food. He is also a skilled chef . He loves to try five or six dishes at a sitting just to get the taste of good cooking. Brad only made the uncalled for threat in retaliation after the other eater ratted out his alias from the meatball contest on this very site.

    The third place finisher was overheard making a speech that he was honored to be competing with Pete and that finishing behind him in third place was even more of an honor

    For a Competitive Eating fan like me, it’s great to see there is camaraderie, encouragement, and good sportsmanship amongst you guys (and girls!). I am amazed by the numbers from this year’s Nathan’s circuit and can’t wait to see the rest of the numbers. Good luck to the rest of you! I’m looking forward to seeing some of my other favorite characters qualify and also see some surprises!

    When pete practices , he must have three or four tv sets on at the same time with videos of joey chestnut competing in the nathans finals so he could attempt to emulate his techniques in the kitchen table.

    Who cares about Brad he was proven to be a fake when he cam in 4th place in the espn wingbowl.
    So he didn’t eat that burger and probably didn’t eat the hoagie and fries in the time he states. All you people keep going on and on. Grow up and let the eaters eat if you can do any better then sit at the table with them.

    Give it up Pete. Obesity is the biggest cause leading to heart attacks and I am concerned for you. It has found you at such a young age and if you keep it up, you will be on the path to being mini-Jarvis.

    If you are going to show every year for Nathans only, do us all a favor and don’t shimmy & shake on stage. Really, it is freightening.
