Congratulations to you Tim, Russ, CL, Brian, and everyone else who competed. The winning total, on the surface, might not look like much, but I dare anyone to try eating close to a pound of those crunchy, mouth-ripping, difficult-to-eat things and see how long it takes.
I hope there’s an update with ALL the final placings and totals. Every entrant would like to know exactly how he finished in both respects. It means a lot IFOCE.

I lament the end of the Fantasy Eating Season, as this event alone would have put the Meatsweats over those cheating Axis of Eaters. That looks like real money for Russ!!

Shouldn’t there have been Fantasy Playoffs between the top teams? Wouldn’t that make Manitoba the champions?
Congratulations Meatsweats!

And mouth ripping they were. My lips and the whole inside of my mouth are all cut up.
This was one difficult contest. Everyone there put it all on the line for six minutes.
I have decided to apply alcohol liberally.

This was the most mauling foodstuff I’ve ever encountered. No wonder there was significant prize $ at stake, otherwise no one in his right mind would enter this. I significantly underestimated the pain involved and paid for it.

Dang, that sounds like it was rough. It’s ridiculous to have an eating contest with food that cuts you up like that and probably posed a choking risk. I’m glad you guys all made it through relatively okay.

Fantasy playoffs, eh? Hmmm!
Nicely done, Tim. Glad it wasn’t as bad as the pig’s feet competition.

I’m going to start my own site so I can fudge the numbers in my favor. I can be just like Brian.

Phiily guy aka whatever, speak to Ryan Nerz who personally gave me these totals which happen to be correct . You think i honestly give a crap if 7th and 8th place are flip flopped. If you ate more rinds than i did, i would gladly give you your props but you didnt. Play fair ok? Call the office and ask Ryan if you think im wrong. You come off as a real asshole with a comment like that. . .Just by looking at the cans its clear that a five year old could see i ate more than you. Matter of fact 5th 6th and 7th were hairline close! Not only will i never acknowledge your presence but i consider you an arrogant jerk for someone your age. .. You can be 21 or 41 and it still wont matter as far as you are concerned. I also made it clear to the powers that be, to avoid standing or sitting next to you in future contests. I got news for you dumbass.,the idea that i finished 7th is nothing to brag about ok? It’s also pretty lame if you ask me. Landetta not only screwed up calling me third but my real totals were screwed up when he blurted out totals that were totally incorrect. . Believe it or not if they awarded me third place i would have flat out rejected the call and given it to Crazy legs because i knew there was no way in hell i deserve it. Later on i asked Ryan for the correct totals of all 8 eaters . . Maybe you should be grateful that you are ranked PERIOD! You must think im totally washed as an eater for you to think that you can whip my butt. You couldnt even catch me on a bad day or carry my jockstrap when i was in my heyday OK? Now that they ranked you , you got all full of yourself and think you are better than me? I was ranked 16 at one time a ranking i doubt you will ever see. I havent competed in quite some time and im getting old but get it out of your head that your better than me cause you aint. You have quite a long way to go. That’s my excuse . What’s your’s? BTW lose the IPOD gimmick it does you little justice. You’ll never be a Pat B. This conversation is over. Go to bits and pieces and you will clearly find out what kind of a person i think you are. End of conversation !

hrumph…. sounds like the same thing happened to BB that happend to TBK @ Pittsburgh WCS. The stats sheet he was shown said one thing, but they put something else up on the site.
But, when you’re fightin’ over anything but 1, 2, or 3 then who really gives a crap?

How about you watch the second part of your youtube video. Rich Shea read off the paper you had 5.4oz. You added almost 50% to your total. You being ranked 16th was the result of a limited talent pool. I’m not being arrogant I’m calling you on your own BS. I saw the score card and I know what happened. By your logic you shouldn’t even be allowed in contest after loosing to me.

In the end it doesn’t really matter who got what, but with all the shit BB throws my way he should just man up and admit his mistake.

BK its no biggie but more about the principle of the thing which is honesty. In the past have i ever masked the totals to make me look good? He wouldnt have made that “fudge” remark if Landetta didnt blurt out inaccurate totals on my end. It wasnt Landetta’s fault but the fault of the person that wrote the totals. What made matters worse is that the cans were weighed in a back room or an area where we were not allowed to be present during the weighing process . I wonder what the little wiseass would have said if they actually awarded me third place? In the future to avoid petty controversy for dumb 7th place bragging rights, weigh the damn tray or can in front of us so some people not including myself wont lose sleep !

The 5.4 oz was wrong shitbrain. I saw what was written on the paper . You were credited with 6.0 and some math genius wrote down 5.6 for me. It was only after those totals were read off that i directly asked Ryan for the correct totals. He told me flat out that i finished ahead of you with 7.6 and you ate 6.0 . I asked if i could see the results and his response was ” Dont worry i memorized the totals and there was a mistake which was corrected in your favor” . All you had to do is look at the cans and it clearly shows that you ate SHIT! You need alot of practice my friend. A whole lot of practice! If you dont believe me call Ryan or better yet ill email him and fwd his response if he does respond. Either way ill get to the bottom of this. This is the final time i respond back to you . You couldnt beat me in your dreams . Go back to schoo pr stay in school l and get an education so you can get a real job .

I saw the video and was there. Brian was announced as 7th place finisher so someone had to finish 8th . Wasnt Keeler, Legs, X , Brickhouse, Nasty Nate, or Pretty boy . For the $ 99,000 question who was it? Philly guy? BINGO

Ah … come one guys. You are both good dudes and such trivial things aren’t worth bickering over. Both of you deserve to be IFOCE-ranked. Pete will get better and Brian will make a noteworthy comeback.

Hey this young kid started it now as a friend of Brian i will finish it. Brian finished ahead of Tim Janus , Booker, Crazy Legs Goldstein Lerman and Krazy Kevin in a corned beef contest in 2004. He beat Ed Jarvis, Hardy Booker & pickle champ Kevin to win pickle title in 2002 . He finished right behind Rich and Carlene Lefevre with 8lbs of watermelon in 2004 finishing 3rd in a field of 14 which included Brian Subich. The names mentioned are more than just average eaters. Legends if you ask me and this little pimple faced meely mouth twirp has the nerve to question Brian’s abilities? Could he even scratch the surface with the names just mentioned. ? He couldnt even shine BB shoes.So what if it was a long time ago. Its better to have been a has been than a never been . For the record an old over the hill battered and bruised BB finished ahead of this kid in strawberry shortcake and pizza. Nuff said . I wouldnt even entertain this issue again. . If you dont believe some or all of what i just wrote then as Casey Stengel once said Look it up!

Brian has also finished in front of Sonya Thomas on many occasions and I cant understand why he isnt ranked ahead of her.

It’s a shame some of the Southern Boys could not make this last minute contest in VY. Pork Rinds or fried pork snins as some call them are better than popcorn in the South.
Add a little Tobasco and they are even better.
Happy Fat Tuesday to all.

Mr Merniki you are a disgrace and should be ashamed of yourself for an insensitive remark like that. Brian realizes he is on his last legs and his biological clock as a competitive eaters is clicking away .He is trying to make a comeback and this is how he gets repayed by you accusing him of inflating totals which is nowhere near the truth. Have a heart you selfish fool. You have your whole life ahead of you which is why you should take the time to build some character. Shame on you. Now go to mass and confess your sins to your priest. “Father forgive me for i have sinned . I accused Butiful Brian of inflating totals” . You should then write a formal apology to Brian which i doubt he will accept. Im very very disapointed in you.

Brian did everyone a favor by not attending the ham & egg thing in vegas because he knew he could do damage bu upstaging others on national tv but didnt want to draw attention to himself by breaking the egg record. He is always willing to sacrifice his own happiness for others. What a classy classy person.

They should have had a special bulletin breaking news report during halftime of the superbowl . The big question on everyones mind Will Butiful Brian get the #37 spot over Pete Miernicki in the revised MLE rankings. The world would like to know.

. The new thing is going to be that everytime Brian competes in a local event he’ ll have this whining kid showing up at the same event just to see if he could beat his number instead of trying to win. What a sad sack of shit.

Philly Guy, that’s so messed up of you to start crap with Beautiful Brian. Just for that, I agree with what Brian says “you should be greatful you are ranked” because there are many eaters who are not ranked that can out eat you any day, any contest so don’t go acting like you’re hot-s$#t don’t stink. BB just wants his due respect, he’s the Rodney Dangerfield of competitive eating, he gets no respect (that’s all he wants). GIve the guy the due credit: he can eat more than you, bottom line. And as matter a fact I do recall BB defending you last year on his site at one point. Just for that, you will continue to get picked on, and get your a$$ kicked in more contests. I tried to be civil fort he most part with all eaters, but now I have to stand up for BB, that $*it is just not right.
