Bub ate 22 and had 2 deducted for bun debris Dale received no deductions for his debris. Bub should have won it was another bad call.

Dale probably won because he had more hot dogs and buns in his stomach than anyone else..

21 might just wind up being the lowest qualifier number. Wish I could of made the trip like I did last year. Could of been in the top three.
Congrats to Dale Boone. Coney is in for troule when the loud mouth of the South, Dale Boone shows up on ESPN.

I picked up a two HDB deduction for my debris. Dale did eat cleaner than me but I thought 2 dogs was an excessive deduction. Oh well I’ll eat cleaner next time.

Boone you show as much class as a piece of crap . They gave you a gift and there you go with your bullshit. Every time they show your face on ESPN i’ll make sure to edit that out of the tape. I think your act is played out and stupid. Anytime Bubba has something nice to say about you you end up spitting in his face. Bubba and Larry are tired of being labeled as your Southern whipping boys . How they put up with your shit is beyond me. I think its well documented that Bubba busted your ass in Atlanta.For some demented reason The Shea’s and some big shot from ESPN find you amusing . Thats the only reason your at the table July 4th. I hope you puke on national tv! 21 my ass

TO SET THE RECORD SET
BUBBA WAS NECK AND NECK WITH ME .PPL DID NOT KEEP UP WITH COUNTING FOR THEY WERE NOT INFO ABOUT WHO TO WATCH THE MOST
MEANING UPPER RANK EATERS
. BUBBA NEVER TOLD ANYONE HE WAS RIGHT WITH ME .
A SMART MOVE ON BUBBA HALF FOR EVERYONE TOLD ME I WAS 4 HDB AHEAD AND I SLOW TO TAKE NO CHANGE OF ANYTHING OF HAPPENIG
BUT IN THE END BUBBA AGREE THAT THERE WAS MUCH BUN LEFT IN HIS CUP AND THUS -2
AM PROUD OF BUBBA AND THE CITY OF ATLANTA FOR GETING BEHIND IT S LOCAL EATERS TO BRING BACK THE THE ATLANTA BELT BACK HOME
AND I WILL ADD THIS OF ALL OF 7 YRS EATING
THAT WAS THE BEST PAPER WRITE UP
BAD THING IT S IN THE SUNDAY PAPER AT 2;50 A POP ALL THOSE COPYS I HVE TO BUY

Whats up with this manager shit? Hey if Boone and Sonya are allowed to have managers negotiating money deals and appearance fees for them , by all means other mle members should have the same rights

After reading some of these other God awful comments about other competitive eaters it has made me realize how terrible many of my comments have been. The point really sunk in when I read brians comment about Dale Boone which was not beautiful at all wishing that Dale have a reversal at Nathans in July. That one posting made me realize that I need to take a less negative tone so I will. I also wish to thank Mrs. Conti for helping point out how bad some of my posts make the eaters feel. So I owe many people an apology, especially Sonya and Juliet. I truly am sorry and I wish you both the best and hope both of you set personal bests at Nathans and to one of my favorite eaters, Dale Boone, best of luck to you especially!

I have never trashed another MLE member on this site but whenever i see the name Boone i just cant help but express my feelings. It really really bothers me when a non winner in the same contest goes out of their way to congragulate or give him credit and he turns around and trashes their performance Dale have you ever once in your life given anyone credit for beating you? . Reminds me of Roberto Duran. God forbid if he lost. Do you think he would shake the winner’s hand? Oh hell no . He would end up bitchin and moanin about how he got screwed left and right . We all know who atlanta watcher is , so to save face he comes back with his real identity in an attempt to clean up his prior comment. Wont work Dale. I apologize for the foul language on my end. I dont apologize for my last sentence in my prior comment . I truly hope he gets what he deserves. I dont like him PERIOD!

I don’t know how involved you are in CE in real life Luther (I’m kind assuming it’s an alias name), but if you are then you’d know that even with all the trash talking that happens on the internet, 99% of eaters get along just fine in real life and most of this drama is fabricated or exaggerated.
