ESPN.com column: Nathan’s is highlight of summer
Bill Simmons (the Sports Guy) of ESPN.com lists Joey Chestnut’s victory as one of the few high points in a bleak summer for sports:
It’s impossible to rank these events from most depressing to least depressing, so I won’t even try. Making matters worse, the enjoyable moments have been few and far between. Basically, it’s been Joey Chestnut’s toppling Kobayashi, Stephon Marbury’s surreal Mike’d Up appearance and the actor who played Reggie Jackson in The Bronx Is Burning’s inadvertently looking like C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man.

I am surprised a 60yr old Reggie didnt object to someone other than himself to be worthy enough to play his part . I was so happy when Billy Martin chewed him out in the dugout in 1977 for being lazy. I was a met fan and i never forgave him for the comment he made about the Mets before the 73 series against the A’s . “The Mets only have one real superstar , Tom Seaver and the rest of the team cant compete with us “
