Why does George Shea have on his twitter bio:
https://twitter.com/gcshea
“For responsible coverage of the eating circuit, see @eatingcontest.”
Is that meant to imply others cover MLE irresponsibly? I’m just wondering.

It’s funny that he has 666 twitter followers. The perfect number was a sneak like him.

Assuming there were no women besides Juliette Lee in the Nathan’s Dover qualifier last year (http://eatfeats.com/2014-dover-nathans-qualifier.html, and http://eatfeats.com/query.php?_table=eaters&id=9822), this means there is not currently a women’s wild card leader, as there has been only one woman entrant in each of the three Nathans’ qualifiers that have been held.

I wonder what the the debris looked like at Legs station compared to Nates. Probably like a disasteous explosion compare to a peaceful sunny day. lol

In that tampabay.com article, there is also a video. The article implies that CLC reversed immediately after the contest.

CLC is famous for that behavior. Didn’t he run off the stage and puke in a flower pot at another Florida qualifier some years back as well as hurl immediately following the taping of eats of strength which was edited out of the final mix.

I have detected mouth odors on many competitive eaters over the years but some of them are real cool people and to diss them or make their names public would not be a nice thing to do
anonymous said

What the fuck difference does it make who has a mouth odor? Bottom line is who can eat the most food at the table when the whistle blows . Odors from the mouth or ass for that matter are irrelevant

That is correcto mungo. In the field of competitive eating, we only care about who eats what. The one crazy individual that is infatuated with odors should keep mentioning it on his sight.

I believe the only one infatuated with odors resides in Plainview LI or he would not constantly bring that stupidity to this site

CLC must’ve used our fingerless gloves. Otherwise, he would’ve gotten 23.25…………..
