I’m serious someone should start a petition to either get conti thrown out of major league eating or at best ban him from competing at Nathan’s and don’t submit it to the sheas cause they will just throw it in the garbage Instead submit to Nathan’s and see what happens

you need to get facts straight when his ex dumped him he became a total recluse was devastated and went into a state of depression They even set a wedding date Nicole would show up at his contests but wanted nothing to do with comp eating media behind the scenes , photos or her image included etc etc Have no idea why she dumped him or whether or not it was competitive eating related

You need to get your facts straight. It was a mutual decision.

Skeptical Nick broke 40 on Saturday. I pray more video from the contest emerges with a better shot of him.

Wehry catches an extra plate just like Miki? Seems suspect. Especially after he was literally caught cheating on camera a couple years ago…

For once why doesnt an mle eater come on here and defend themself instead of being a pussy and staying silent I know for a fact that each and every mle eater visits this site frequently but wont have the balls to respond to critisism The last time a major league eater posted on this site under their real name was maybe 2007 2008 You might say why should they bother? Well they should bother instead of lurking like a silent stalker afraid to fire back So far larell marie mele is the only one who had the chutzpa to defend herself

Why does it matter? Cheating is cheating. Don’t cheat if you don’t want to be called out for it.
