Rich Shea mentioned Nathan’s using a new “points system” for qualifying this year. Guess we’ll just have to see how they go about it.

I think it is pretty safe to assume that half of the Men’s Nathan’s field will be the top 7 here plus Geoff Esper.

@1:14- Tanner is dreaming of getting his ticket to Coney by accruing enough points in the new MLE “system”. Conti as well. Tanner is a below-average eater, and doesn’t deserve a seat in my opinion. I won’t even comment on Conti’s eating prowess.
Cam Meade, welcome to the big league, and a full blown eating disorder!

Iill say one thing about conti ges a sport He once treated me to pastrani sandwich at katz deli on the lower east side of manhattan He lived a few blocks away He ordered a reuben corned beef sandwich DO you know how expensuve those sandwiches are? The only drawback is he lives in a two story walk up no elevator and a bitch to climb He tolld me he had a problem with a large mouse He was being kind more like a rat He demonsrated the trap he set with cheese No thamk you if i had to deal with those living conditions id be out of there faster than speed of light All the great pizza and butger joints at your beckon call but if you have to deal with mice and rats it aint worth it
