Angelo Cataldi expects Wing Bowl 17
Angelo Cataldi has a preview of Wing Bowl 16 in his blog and reports that the news of his creation’s demise are greatly exaggerated:
And now it’s time for a confession. I wish this were the last Wing Bowl. I wish we could end in it one final frenzy of barbeque sauce and frilly thongs on Feb. 1 at the Wachovia Center. I wish we could announce that Wing Bowl 16 was not just the best installment in the continuing series, but the final one.
Don’t fret. That’s not going to happen. I’m pretty sure if the management at WIP had to make a choice between all of the talent on our show or this happy monster we have created, we’d be all out on the street tomorrow. In fact, Wing Bowl will be here long after all of us are gone.
The following advice to spectators is offered at the end of the blog entry:
* The parking lots around the Wachovia Center will open at 4 a.m. If you’re looking to tailgate before that, you will have to find a spot in one of the many private lots on the outskirts of the sports complex.
* The doors will open at 5 a.m.
* You must have a ticket to enter the parking lots at the Wachovia Center.
* All patrons are subject to a search.
* Bottles, cans and outside food are not permitted inside the Wachovia Center.
* Regular cameras will be allowed, but not video cameras.

I’d like to see a poll about predictions for Wing Bowl this year. Personally, assuming the contest is fair and unbiased, which is suspect every year, at least to a moderate degree, I think El Wingador should consider himself as giving an outstanding performance if he comes within 2 1/2 dozen (30) wings of Joey.
1. Joey: 195
2. Pat: 181
3. El Wingador: 160
However, if Joey somehow has 30 or more wings deducted, and Pat at least 20, then I guess El Wingador might somehow have a shot.
Oh, and Good luck to you U.S. Male, I hope you can somehow win the first round (like Gentleman Jerry did last year)!

I am sure you will be right Steak. I’ve never been to one, but I’m smart enough to realize there’s nothing else like it. (I think I’d enjoy the wingette competition as much as the wing-eating.)

Thanks Rhonda; I am like Badlands Booker right now – “Hungry & Focused”! If I can’t fit Steakbellie’s TV on the back of my Harley, I’ll rest it in my new Tundra. I am rooting for Steakbellie to be at the final table.
