MLE twitter and FB the order of finish is listed in a long non legible sentence. I cant make heads or tails out of the first place second place or any place. At least on this site the order of finish is listed in order and not on top of each other. Very well done

Don Sturdy was right. OJ read their tweet wrong.

Don’t drive OJ nuts ok? He is very meticulous about posting correct info. He got burned with Helen Haggerty several years ago and nearly closed down the site because he was made a fool of

Don Sturdy put ounces after a decimal point. According to convention, the number after a decimal point represents tenths.

Those numbers for Dax must equate to 30 hot dogs. He is on his way!

A word of advice to all new eaters coming in. Let your results at the table do the talking. Dax was claiming 30 dogs this year and does 2lbs. at his first contest. Juan claims on TV he can do 33 dogs and puts up 22. Monster Marcos is also boasting he will do 30. C’mon guys! You are only making yourselves look silly.

C”mon OJ, there was no confusion just needed to conserve space on Twitter! It was hopefully obvious that a .11 or .14 etc. would not reflect tenths of a pound!

No disrespect to the guy but these rookies have Scott Bickle dilusions.

Anyway, congrats to Matt for a great contest! As the videos will show, he pushed Joey hard but Joey really stepped on the gas in the last couple of minutes…

Most of these braggers are full of shit. They all like to talk a good game but usually fall flat on their faces. They talk the talk but rarely walk the walk

You did okay Dax. Keep stroking!

I am here with Dax now. He never claimed he could eat 30 dogs. I give him credit for his debut. Food was very tough to chew and break down. Even joeys numbers were less. Good debut. Keep up the work

OJ, please correct original post. You may have been confused, but to claim we were confused is just goofy. Real time reporting was 100% accurate. The tweet also listed everyone in place order so any claim of confusion can only be by the (mis)reader.
We also completely agree with the posts from Dax and LA Beast above. Dax is great for the game and MLE clearly loves him based on the introduction they gave, so cut the guy some slack!

Mentions of Don Sturdy in the original post have been deleted.

Interesting response. To be consistent you should also delete the references to Phil Stevenson since we unequivocally reported Joey’s win nearly 15 minutes before the references in the original post.

Ok, LA Beast. He did say he thought he could do 30. This defense is coming from the guy that cuts off his toe and calls it entertainment. How old are you?

The remaining allusions to Phil Stevenson should stay. They have nothing to do with DS.
