Don’t think either Goldstein cares to return to the MLE but how funny would that be if Dave came back to win the military qualifier. Won’t happen but damn some jealous 50th ranked loser would be flip his lid.

Thats a super idea. Get your ass signed up for the military qualifier. Big chance to live out your dream instead of the corrupted one at the Wachovia center that doesnt count Im sure the Sheas will forgive and forget . Dont worry about 50 ranked loser . You have an obsession with im dude get over it

Posting on this site is not a hobby and gaining respect from the people who frequent this site is nothing to be proud of. No offense to all, but just saying. If Seiken was ever to lose his 50 ranking, he might eat a bullet.

No doubt this site attracts a plethora of visitors for the bulletin board . The posters are a handful and a half at best . I believe most of the comments are controlled by Seiken and the Goldsteins and OJ can verify that

Why on earth would anyone care about a stupid ranking anyway? A sense of belonging. Dumbest thing ever. An honor come on get a real life. Real men could care less about something so insignificant while it means everything to low lifes who’ll never have anything else going for them.

The Goldsteins should take a page out of Hartman in the physique department. Both of them especially the one with the wig should go to the gym and carry around a pic of this guys 24 inch biceps as an inspiration when they go to the gym. Those are real biceps as opposed to the flabby arms and stomach that you consider fit and in shape
anonymous said
May 25, 2014 @ 9:26 am
On the contrary 143 am i dont remember the 50th ranked eater ever making an issue about his ranking on here or on his website. He might have mentioned it once on his website when the rankings were updated but it was in a positive light. It seems that the two losers that frequent this site all day place a huge emphasis on that ranking thinking they can use it to fuck with him when he could care less if he is ranked or not . The only constructive point you made was why would anyone care about a stupid ranking ?

you idiots that talk about “ranking” like its some scientific formula that actually represents an eaters ability. here are some words ( maybe some are too big for you to understand ,so go ask your mommy) that actually represent how “rankings are formulated, subjective, idiomatic, whim, sales tool, propaganda, promotional tool, idiosyncratic, individualized performance, particular, peculiar, have a day now

If you are referring to Seiken, he wore a black wig in his rebuttal video to the shitsteins which was noticeable . he also wore the same wig in his elvis impersonation. For you to poke fun at an incident that he had no control over and for the most part was an accident that could have had dire and severe consequences worse than what he suffered is downright cruel and callous on your end.

Hey Goldshit why dont you stop making up stories that you made believe you were sleeping on the plane to atlanta saying Seiken breath stunk when in reality it was because he threw off your original plans to meet at a certain time . Cut the bullshit and by the way that sorry ass excuse that you couldnt give seiken a ride back home because you were meeting a friend is bull. You have no friends

Why don’t you stop complaining like a fucking baby about crap that happened years ago. If it bothers you so much that you have to keep bringing it up on here, contact the person directly to argue about it. What a whiny bitch you are Brian. Boo hoo Allen slept on the plane, boo hoo he wouldn’t give me a ride, boo hoo he got invited to events & parties that I wasn’t invited to. My asshole bleeds for you.

If he can do seven in two minutes, he can almost for sure break 20 in 10 minutes. I look for Seiken to move up about a dozen or more spots before this year ends.

Funny how all the negative comments about Brian Seiken are posted by three and only three losers that have one thing in common they were thrown out or either left the IFOCE because they werent getting enough attention. Get a real life instead of making stupid videos and feeding off of social networking to make up for your insecurities

May 26, 2014 @ 10:40 pm
Funny that those guys who ate 11 in 3 minutes & change in a video ate 20+ in competition numerous times. When are you going to do that and prove your position as a competitive eater? NEVER!!!
anonymous said

Anyone pick up on the speed and accuracy that Seiken puts away those dogs in the video and the fact that he refused to touch the remaining two even though he was starving only because he was doing a 2 minute drill Boston here we come

Who has qualified so far for the Nathan’s finals? Is there a list somewhere? How many more qualifiers are left? Which of the top 25 MLE eaters have qualified so far, and who are the higher ranked ones who haven’t qualified?

“they were thrown out or either left the IFOCE ”
Who are the eaters who have left IFOCE?
This is a list I have so far, with the reasons they left:
Dale Boone – Recruited by WLOCE
Takeru Kobayashi – contract dispute
Stephanie Torres – contract violation
Pat Bertelotti – chose to open food truck instead after contract expired
Tim “Gravy” Brown – chose to open food truck instead after contract expired
Rich “Locust” LeFevre – retired
Carlene LeFevre – retired
Dave “U.S Male” Goldstein – could make more money by going independent??
Ben Monson – retired
Grace Lee – retired
Maria “Edible” “the Incredible Sulk” Sulkin – retired
Allen “Shredder” Goldstein – ???
Charles Hardy – retired (is he the current commissioner of IFOCE??)
Is there a list somewhere of past IFOCE ranking I can check to see who else I have left out?
gourmand said (Registered December 1, 2013)
May 27, 2014 @ 1:51 pm
Oh, I forgot:
“Double O” Kevin Ross – made more money by going independent
Ed “Cookie” Jarvis – retired
Don “Moses” Lerman – retired
someone by the name of Lipsiki????? in the same era of Lerman and Jarvis
Was LA Beast ever in IFOCE? Or Tom “goose” Gilbert?
And weren’t there two brothers in the lower end of the IFOCE rankings a year ago or so?

This is a great list. Competitive eating really excites me as a spectator sport. Some of the names above I haven’t even heard of. And the Bauer brothers were the ones I was thinking of. Thank you. I had also totally forgotten about Damon “the Omen” Wells. I used to watch competitive eating a little in the older days, but that was when the sport had majors. I remember cheering so hard for an American to win the coveted mustard belt. Back then I hated Takeru. But now I like him. I wish there were competition now between him and Joey. The men’s Nathan’s finals has become so boring. We know who is going to win every year.
I also remember there was a documentary, probably on the Discovery Channel, about three IFOCE eaters going around the country trying to get the weaker eater of the bunch qualified for Nathans. I think Jarvis may have been in the trio?? But first they stopped at the Big Texan to eat that 72 oz. steak. Then they showed an eater from Las Vegas who had his own squad of cheerleaders for the Nathan’s qualifier and was famous around town.
