    Now that Esper guy is out of the way i wish all the greedy bastards who made it to the finals in the past would just stay the fuck home for the Queens qualifier and let Beautiful Brian and Wild Bill battle it out for a spot at the Nathans finals in Coney Island . Give other eaters that never made it in a shot for christ sake

    Even if smelkin eats 17 hot dogs or more like he did a few yrs ago at Citifield the smelly midget will say that he ate 11 just to fuck with him. Wig wearers and meatball cheaters usually display that personality disorder

    We love you, Larell! Fantastic back to back performances. Nice to see Eric qualify there leaving Queens wide open. Brian, you better hope Salem is content with the wild card and that Hendry and/or Denmark don’t show up there. If all the cards fall in the right place you could have a shot. Maybe Alan will come out of retirement and your war of words will become a war at the table.

    If Tim Janus is really out, Yasir will compete at CF and win leaving Denmark’s WC in tact. Yasir used Syracuse as practice. The man runs marathons and is a real athlete, I’m sure he wants to win a qualifier outright. Either way, no way Seiken if doing anything with his 11 except be a spectator. Hey, Goldstein see if George Shea will let you in for this one just so Seiken keeps away from the area.. HAHAHAHA.

    A pity spot for the Nathans Finals. Come on Guys. You would have to get MLE to give out some special awards. Bill Myers already got one. Really? How about all those who spent their own money to qualify and came close but didn’t quite make it. It is very simple. You have to win at the table. That’s it.

    Rich, Citifield is not wide open. A real eater wll show and win. Seiken has no shot, since he’s heavier, more out of shape and highly untrained in hotdogs, I’m sure he’d eat less than 11.

    Rich, the promoters of a Vegaseating contest are trying to reach out to you. If you are interested, would facebook be a good place for them to reach you?

    Thanks for the tip Rich. With that said i doubt Seiken will bother. Seiken fears Salem not an old man like Goldstein who beat a bunch of setups to get to the finals

    Goldstein doesn’t eat Nathans hot dogs he made the switch to Criff dogs and Sabrett out of spite only because the crybaby felt he got a bum deal in Charlotte 5yrs ago when he got owned by Yasir Whhhhhaaaaaa

    They say it’s a man world? More like the exact opposite if women are allowed to qualify for finals get flown to NYC along with complimentary airfare hotel and $200 spending money for eating a minimum of 5 HDB . Despicable i say Despicable

    How can one decipher .75 from .33 ? Maybe is all about choosing Booker over a relatively unknown Kevin Ambs than the math. George probably instructed Rich or the other clowns who emcee the event ” Listen if the margin between Booker and anyone else who comes close to him is microscopic or too close to call, give the nod to Booker or your’e fired . Do i make myself perfectly clear?

  21. anonymous said

    June 5, 2016 @ 5:41 pm

    Goldstein why don’t you just admit your hate for the guy is the reason you focus on his totals. Wild Bill ate 12 and you don’t say shit about that? I remember overhearing you say some nasty things about Bills weight back when you were competing and saying he should give it up. Two faced assholes like you never had a real friend in their entire life

  22. anonymous said

    June 5, 2016 @ 5:45 pm

    112 Goldstein would never show if Salem is there . He kicked his ass already in Charlotte no need for a rerun. Even if George asked him to come out of retirement he would only show up if Tom Serpico was his one and only competition

    Sorry Locust, as funny it would be to see Seiken crap his pants on stage, AG is will remain retired.

    526 my thoughts exactly. This whole field was to get badlands in and it almost didnt work.

    I think the guy who lost to Booker today by 1/4 of a hotdog thinks he got a bum rap. News flash Seiken, it’s not 2004 anymore.

    Is Crif dogs actually a name brand?

  27. anonymous said

    June 5, 2016 @ 8:08 pm

    AG was the worst eater that ever competed in the IFOCE. He couldnt even beat his mentor Jarvis . At least Seiken beat Jarvis Booker and Hardy even though it was years ago Goldstein couldnt even beat those three when he was competing . All he cared about was finishing ahead of Conti and Subich so he could preserve a ranking that he never deserved but a ranking that nobody gives a rats ass about

    Criff dogs is not a name brand nor have i ever seen the brand name in the supermarket. Criff dogs are about as well known as Seiken dogs

    Badlands is capable of putting up 30 so with that said he could qualify anywhere because 30 is still a premium number that many have yet to master

    Reeves only ate 18? Geez even Seiken came close to that number 2yrs ago.

    Shredder was the smart one to walk away from competitive eating when he did unlike the loser who collects spiderwebs at the bottom of the rankings. Seiken insists on keeping his name out there for no reason but to bash those he could never beat. Never was never will be. Go away.

    Imbicile 8:17, If it were my intent to bash Brian, I could do a helluva lot better than telling him he would have a shot under the right circumstances.

    At least Rich doesnt resort to making nasty untrue comments about people hygiene and living conditions when in reality its those same individuals or shall i say individual that stinks himself when it comes to breath and ass.

    8:08 I take offense at that remark. Everyone knows I was the worst eater in the history of competitive eating! Hence the title, “World’s Worst Eater”.

    Bill and Brian or anyone putting up non-competitive numbers will never make it to the finals. This isn’t non-competitive eating, it’s competitive eating. If you don’t like it, improve. If you don’t like that move on. Don’t complain like a man-baby small-handed donnie trump with bad hair.

    Vacations are boring especially if you have no money. You get the same results without spending a dime by attending the caribbean day parade while soaking in the rays at brighton beach

    Ok 956 if it makes you happy ill shut my mouth and move on. Just asking one time to give Bill or Brian a chance at something they have yet to experience. Matter fact Bill deserves it more for all the time and money he invested in competing . Not to mention he was responsible for documenting Brian 11 HDB total three yrs ago at Coney
