    Not looking forward to this. Wish I could say otherwise.

    This might (I hope) be a good strategy. Koby’s tens of thousands of fans (probably more) are world-wide, and perhaps this is a way for Koby to energize many of them to follow his WB exploits and espress theirt opinions/interests to the point that WB organizers are pressured to refrain from railroading Koby.

    I’m not saying by any means that Koby can win outright, as his there’s so much uncertainty concerning his wing-eating prowess. But on a fair(er) CE stage, Koby stands a better chance of winning/given full credit fir what he consumes.

    Lots of press for WB is great, but overwhelmingly bad press would not be great, wanted, or needed—-especially if THE LEGEND vehemently complains about the officiating. WB organizers just don’t need that in their lives.

    No one gets full credit for what they consume at WingBowl. It depends on how clean the wings are. Go as fast as you can and you may still end up with half of what you thought. Squibb consumed some 310+ wings last year with Furious Pete right behind him. They gave the number two spot to El Wingador. El Wingadore basically said in The Daily News that WIP “flip flops the rules” and that he was cheated last year. Kobi is no different. If you were there you know for sure he didn’t eat the last two minutes. No one owes Kobi anything. He wanted to play at WingBowl. He deserves whatever he gets- positive it negative outcome. If he eats well then he’ll win. Otherwise it’s all smoke, mirrors, bs, and press whoring. This will be a lot harder than swallowing hot dogs. When you lay down with dogs, expect to get fleas Kobi.
