    It’s too bad Lesley wasn’t there hell she would have eaten 210 wings at the current rate her numbers have been skyrocketing out of inflated proportion.

    Don’t blame Lesley! What’s she supposed to do? Disqualify herself? Shit! Get real!

    Goya had a nice finish. I wonder if she will go back on her facebook page and express her innermost feelings as to how she gave her all to eat as much as she can to gain the love and respect of her boyfriend

    You posted 192 as a wing COUNT, but the rest are by WEIGHT.
    And you wonder how eaters misquoted?

    Don’t report if you can’t do it with a shred of common sense.

    Look get this through your skull OJ Rifkin entire life is based upon reporting anything and everything related to competitive eating and why is that? Because he or shall i say ” has nothing better to do than report this nonsense that has zero shall i repeat zero impact on your life my life or anyone else life except for the select few who are making money engaging in it . They fail to realize or maybe they just dont want to realize that this nonsense comes with a price which they will find out a lot sooner than you think

    There you go a typical OJ Rifkin response Googling info from FB Twitter What would he do without social media at his fingertips ? I will tell you in one word Clueless Of course the peanut gallery will chime in and praise the ground he walks on. OJ you are the greatest OJ another great article where do you find these gems OJ? Its not about OJ being the greatest It’s because your lazy dumb ass cant find it on your own. Try googling every now and then instead of letting OJ do all the work so he comes off in your eyes as some sort of genius

    The lives and integrity of some competitive eaters were ruined or will never be the same because of this site. Noone is to blame but OJ Rifkin for allowing nasty people to post nasty false comments about people hygiene and their personal lives which has nothing to do with competitive eating

    If we only had that eatfeats copycat blog on BB.com, the entire eating community could flock back there for news and good clean dialogue. His 2000 word paragraphs and news stories were Pulitzer prize worthy.

    Signs point mostly to one person who continues to rant 11:36 and 11:42. It isn’t so easy to have a site like this. If you think you can do better, go right ahead. If what is here is of zero interest, do not come here to read. No lives were ruined by the operator of this site. It is people’s uncaring comments and commenting about eaters families or friends who cause trouble.

    i was at the competition. slobkin begged george shea to let him compete and showed off his abilities by eating 11 wings in 11 minutes. shea was impressed and allowed him to enter but by that time 11kin was full and decided that he rather play poker instead. i wish I could make this up.

    Let us not count out the very tall Mr Shortstein who has been making hideous remarks about competitive eaters long before you can imagine

    You are dead wrong 231 The operator of this site can choose to delete the negativity but instead he chooses to condone it. That said it makes him just as responsible

    I spoke with Mr Goldstein prior and mind you i empasize the word prior because it was prior to a Nathans contest so you cant blame the hot dogs when i tell you this. His mouth smelled like someone passed gas

    Hmmm… Dumbass would be a woman that cheats on a man that has a profession, that takes care of her, only to ruin it by cheating on him with a homeless man. Dumbass
