    The reason why some actually left the IFOCE was because of Conti and his cheating ways. Enough is enough already and i am glad it was Bob Shoudt of all people that said this crap has gone too far

    A real man would show his face on here and tell the real story instead of venting on twitter like all cowards do.

    When George condones this kind of stuff it means that the entire scenario was something he enjoys promoting If it was real serious it would be kept hush hush . Total nonsense

    Assault charge? On what grounds ? Brushed up against him? Conti slammed a bar stool on Dale Boone and got away with it at the US Open of Competitive eating in 2005 now thats an assault charge

    Hopefully this undeserving victory doesn’t catapult Conti higher in the rankings. We have all seen enough of this cheating.

    And as for you old fart Lefevre, aka Wally Cox aka My friend Harvey in the honeymooners show, stop playing me against Ron who happens to be a friend of mine which is something you are not. You are basically a two faced phoney who constantly i mean constantly bad mouths people behind their back and i could care less if i am the only one who thinks and feels that way about you because its the damn truth

    I don’t mean this as a troll, I mean this truly sincerely. You exhibit behavior consistent with someone who is bipolar and also borderline paranoid schizophrenic. This is not a desire to call you out, this is simply the only way to reach you and communicate with you. I hope you take it as a gentle, caring suggestion to seek help. You don’t realize how hurtful your comments have been and continue to be. I understand you feel hurt and attacked on here. Totally understandable. Just walk away from here and seek help. You’re doing great with your focus on health. Leave this all behind. You can do it.

    I’m not sad, I enjoy life. Most people can be redeemed but I truly believe you may be beyond redemption. You should stick to your own sorry website instead of constantly poisoning this one.

    You are right on the money Locust. Brian should stick to his own sorry website but he can’t help himself on this one. Such a sorry excuse for a human being.

    I have more than one. I don’t discriminate against anyone and a person certainly has the right to choose his own friends. We may not agree with their choices but it is not for us to judge. That being said, I have no room in my life for anyone who is a racist or someone whose main purpose in life is to stir up trouble – but that’s just the way I feel. Carlene and I both try to be a positive influence on other people but we have our faults just like everybody else.

    So let me get this straight..
    The person in CE who does the most talking behind peoples backs and tries to turn people against each other, is upset because he believes someone has done it to him?
    Yep, that sounds about right…

    @anonymous 228 if you have a question about how I judged or the final count in the contest please feel free to email me at seanbrockert@yahoo.com or message me on Facebook. However since you were afraid to state your name on a comment blog something tells me you are afraid to contact me personally and talk. Everyone did an outstanding job at the corn festival this year and yes there was a small controversy at the end but everything was eventually sorted out and the placings and prize money was given to the appropriate people. If anyone else has questions on what exactly happened feel free to email or message me on my Facebook. I have answered all inquires so far and will continue to anwser any I get in the future.

    Why don’t you explain to us what happened Sean. We saw Bob Shoudt’s pictures and how the declared winner’s corn was hardly even shredded. What a sad excuse for judging. Maybe if you enlighten us with your thought process, we can better understand how a cheater is rewarded.

    Did you not read my post? Email me and i would be happy to explain anything. If I dont know who I am talking to its not worth my time.

    Yesterday Crazy Legs Conti claimed that Erik Denmark received the 3rd place prize amount despite finishing 4th

    https://twitter.com/ColemansBandG/status/461940982922362880

    If a duplicate 2nd place trophy is made for Bog Shoudt, it will be interesting to see if he declines it like the 1972 USA basketball team refused sliver medals.

    Why does Denmark continue to compete in this event knowing that year after year he gets screwed over by Conti and the bullcrap that they permit

    Came to blows?, that would have been awesome, Bob has been taking Krav Maga for years, don’t know what Conti has done but lost everything badly except Corn for the last 2 years, Bob would have embarrassed CLC.
