    speaking of that boy seiken there are eaters that practically spit on the sheas and walked out after being hyped glamorized ranked pretty high and other perks yet seiken whos been loyal to them since day 1 is ignored , shitted on waitlisted and passed over for every single MLE media event. If i were him i would grab the first $$$ eating challenge he could get his hands on then compete in the first independent eating contest he could get his hands on

    What a joke. The two best eaters in the sport today seiken and gioa were not at the table . An outrage. I would make an issue out of this travesty.Instead ass kisser conti and billmyers the class pets finished dead last and next to last respectively only to be knocked off by a nobody by the name of graham cracker.

    If Seiken finished last with 2 lbs the Goldstein cousins would have had a field day but because it’s Bill 2lbs is perfectly excusable

    The only way Seiken can finish with 2 lbs is if they gave him a hollowed out turkey.

    Oh wait there is more Now the dope is comparing Chestnut to Peyton Manning in the people champ department. Maybe because Joey will never make Peyton Manning type figures Maybe cause football is a real sport and not some sort of stealth marketing scheme to convince the ignorant that it is

  22. Media Mogul said

    November 22, 2014 @ 8:53 pm

    No shit its a popularity contest. There is competition amongst eaters, but the Sheas get paid for the overall spectacle. Freaks like Joey bring in money, guys like Bill make eaters seem like everyday people. On the other hand, bitter people who attack everyone can be found at your corner bar: why reward such behavior with rankings and recognition?

  23. anonymous said

    November 22, 2014 @ 9:25 pm

    Why because some eaters were raised on loyalty instead of dwelling on the negative aspect of an individual like you do. You seem to ignore the good and harp on the bad. Nothing wrong with someone bitching about his just due but then again you have a one track mind and because its “personal ” with you you just cant seem to let go. Nobody being attacked If you cant take criticism then you dont belong in this business or maybe you need to thicken up that skin of yours

    Staying with same topic but different scenario Doesn’t it seem odd that in one instance an organization is praising and plugging one of their members on twitter but as soon as they are thrown out or bolt out to do their own thing , the eater is dead to the organization as far as they are concerned. Not only petty childish but downright pathetic

    Seiken a has a just due, highly doubt that; he is a terrible eater with a bad attitude and not even the Shea’s can stand him. He is like the roaches in his apartment; no matter how hard the MLE tries he just won’t go away.

    I wonder if he will shut his site down again when he is bounced off the rankings in the next update.

    8am terrible eater? Is that your overall interpretation of him without observing his stats which are not so terrible . Hot dogs at Citfield Chicken Spedies and Canoli werent that bad . Have you seen who he competes against time after time and you expect him to come up smelling like roses? Put him in with some lesser known or mediocre eaters and lets see if he is that terrible. Stop talking out of your ass which is certainly hateful and not factual

  32. anonymous said

    November 23, 2014 @ 12:35 pm

    8am is obviously someone that got thrown out of the IFOCE or left because he felt slighted or could not hang with the big boys so he goes out on his own trying to create attention towards himself with home videos and basically nobody cares or gives a shit either way

    so let me get this straight 12:33 pm. You are making an excuse for seiken based on whom he competes against? Why should it matter who is at the table and who is not? Facts are facts and the numbers don’t lie. (except if count the mush on seikens plates when time expires toward his totals) His performances are typically sub par and dreadful. Chicken spedies in paticular where unknown eaters came within an eyelash of beating seiken. And thats almost every contest that he enters, there is always someone who is not ranked and unknow who steps up an defeats him. Check the numbers and results, to consider seiken a good eater is delusional.

    November 23, 2014 @ 2:46 pm

    229 almost doesn’t count .Obviously you were hoping the newbies would wax him but they didn’t. Even if he beat them within hair line fracture of a percentage, he beat em and that’s what counts

  37. anonymous said

    November 23, 2014 @ 2:49 pm

    When Seiken can beat talent like Gus Shaffer and Leon Feingold’s sister, then he can be considered a competitive eater. Until then and only then he is still a scrub.

    Major league eating will never succeed unless more attention and media coverage is channeled to the rest of the circuit. Since Nathans is their bread and butter and basically puts them on the map, they would need to change the structure of the Nathans qualifiers. Implement a buy in of lets say $20 per person instead of registration through IFOCE. This way more people would have a chance to compete at the table and they could pay out maybe 3 or 4 places of prize money with the entry fee. $500 first place $300 second $100 third something like that . Wild card for each qualifier and each high wild card at the end of the circuit is placed in a money pool with the top 3 getting into the finals. Of course this would mean extended tables but it would also mean more money in the pot and more money to be spread around so everyone is happy. The way they have it now pays $0 to the wild card winner and the rest of the field goes home losers. Ok the winner gets a few bucks spending money before the finals they deserve more than that even though they made it to the big stage. As far as the rest of the yearly circuit, those contests need to be televised by ESPN or some other network in order to bring exposure . If that became the case which it never will, fans would be able to voice their opinion on other blogs beside eatfeats

    I feel that Shmellkin will very soon be expelled from MLE for getting involved with sponsors. He has been warned many times but never seems to learn his lesson. What a liability to the league.

  54. anonymous said

    November 25, 2014 @ 2:06 am

    When Shmelkin complained to the shoe fly pie sponsor in 2005 about Subich and Janus getting 1st and 2nd place prize money while Shmelkin got a road map of PA for finishing 3rd he complained to the sponsor while Rich Shea held the Vegas trip over his head. “Do you still want to go to Vegas? Not they cant hold anything over his head except “Do you still want to be ranked 50? Ha ha

    953 i realize i am trying to reason with a hateful loser such as yourself but if prize money was payed out to to first two finishers in a contest instead of 3, mind you the decision was made prior to the contest without Mr Seiken knowing about it. I guess the only bright spot was the fact that the first two finishers in the event were able to cash in at the teller window after it was over

    In continuation of what i was sating 953, i think you would be the first to moan and bitch if you finished 3rd and got a road map of PA and a CD of an unknown country artist instead of real cash. To add insult to injury i believe that Mr Seiken was asked to apologize to the sponsor by you know who because he had the audacity to politely question the sponsor about the payout structure and why he was screwed.

    Whatever dude. You thrive on negativity Looking back of course the performance was pretty shoddy but at least he had the balls to get up on stage which you certainly wouldnt have the balls to do . You wont even tell us who you are but we i mean “i” already know that for the longest
