Brian, since you reported Booker’s win here on EatFeats, and there’s nothing on your site regarding it, didn’t OJ report it first by posting your comment?

OJ is essentially the “first” to report most CE news because Eatfeats is the first (and only) place many of turn to for breaking CE news. Good job as always OJ!!

OJ rifkin relies on open twitter and Facebook accounts along with a Google subscription to.competitive eating. I get my info by being there interviewing real eaters and the real contest. So shut your trap and stop.kissing up to a blog that can easily be thrown together by someone that has loads of time on his hands

Who cares about first? Even if second, third, fourth, or last, I could care less. This is my only stop. Here you get the facts, presented in a professional manner.

Eatfeces is a biased site. Funny how everyone ran to Bb.com before this copycat came along. Like Seiken said take open fb and twitter accounts away from this asshole and he has next to nothing. Professional my ass. Just look at the comments

Hey BB, thanks for putting those videos on YouTube. I especially got a kick out of the Steve Harvey appearances by Jed, Sonya, and Coonie.
BB, I wish you weren’t so negative toward this site. If you could only take a few steps back and take it all in, and drop your guard for a few minutes, you’d probably start laughing.
You have not only given much to CE over the past decade plus, your best is yet to come; of that I’m confident. But that “best” could be even better if you stopped your personal war with this site’s webmaster. That strategy is unfair to both OJ and yourself; it also undermines many of positive initiatives you might otherwise get more recognition for.
Rise above that BB!
