Scott Watkins, also known as "Scott Eats" ate 48 hot dogs in 10 minutes to claim the first prize of $1,000 in yesterday's eating contest at the Frankfort, IN Hot Dog Festival. This event would not be allowed if Scott signed a MLE contract after winning the Las Vegas Nathan's qualifier on July 4. update July 30 Clinton County Daily News has an article.

    He only needs to sign the contract in order to compete at Coney Island, and he probably doesn’t need to do that until closer to the event next year.

    I would strongly advise against signing with the number of guys in the 40-50 range right now. (and let’s not forget Plategate 2026!)
    Unless he consistently hits 60+, I would avoid Nathan’s/MLE!

    After going through 209 comments in 2017 which is a record on eatfeats that has yet to be broken, it is quite obvious that the bitter hatred towards this man is beyond belief and it basically comes from one source with a few exceptions. That along with a female(nessa) who was and more than likely still is modern day version of Norman Bates That source is Goldstein who sports cheap hairplugs and a life long obsession with roaches

    Before th woman’s qualifiers were implemented I suggested to this 19 yr old girl at my job to enter the Nathan’s hot dog contest . She was a dead ringer for Rihanna She used to brag about how much food she could consume in one sitting. she was also a space cadet She would sometimes show up for work barefoot. I asked how many hotdogs she can eat she said at least 20 I email Barkley telling him this girl wants to compete She was confirmed immediately Next day she told me she got email confirmation and was psyched to compete Citififield qualifier She would probably go down as the most attractive female eater that ever competed in the event Sadly she was full of shit She was a no show The next day she told me she couldn’t make it with some bullshit excuse about baby sitting I guess we will never know Ended up meeting a guy on the net moved to Texas

    It is unfortunate that the person who thinks huge criticism of him mostly comes from one person. He has a vendetta against that person. But there are legions of others who do not approve of the hatred he spreads. That he cannot see how much he contributes to this site or how little is astounding. Put the hate and lies away.

The next day you reported here that reason you did not speak with him was because his breath stunk which was totally untrue Then on route home at Lag airport you made some bullshit excuse that you were meeting a frined LOL What friend you have no friends except for the imaginary one with a boat

Sadly a few years before hardy passed away his wife left him and his son wanted nothing to to with him for the rest of his life I know the reasons but am not at liberty to share

    Joe rarely got angry but if you messed with his livelyhood which was scalping tickets, you were in for a very rude awakening. First off he was a big dude. He posted a comment on some blog wasnt eatfeats, that some big kid snatched tickets out of joes hands while he was on the job. He ran after the guy and beat him to a bloody pulp black eye busted lip With that said Charles Hardy who went on record as saying he would kick his ass the next time he saw him , would have had his hands full

    Rose would frequently show up at mle contests that were based in ny The sheas for the most part would ignore his email when he tried to register for a ny contest He had no money His prime source of income was public assistance or welfare I don’t think he ever worked a day in his life. He would show up at events with three things in mind . Cause trouble,free food or free tickets to met games One time he showed up at a Nathan’s qualifier in citiifield in 2012 won by Maria edible with 20 dogs During the contest Rose would scream obscenities like Maria sucked dick sheas cock George shea is a crook Seiken is a child molester Anything to get attention or get the crowd to believe his psychotic bullshit You would think that one of the competitors in the contest would take the initiative step off the stage and punch him in the mouth but it never happened . Marcus Owen’s a rather big muscular dude showed his true colors by ignoring him instead of engaging in physical confrontation It is for those very reasons that he was able to get away with what he got away with Quite obvious this dude was on drugs or alcohol when he made these remarks

    Most of what that asswipe says are probably lies. I have no memory of any of it, but then again i was shitfaced drunk at every contest. What I take exception to is that I never worked. I sold newspapers in local bars when I was a kid & worked as an order picker in a bra factory, a messenger, a porter, & many other jobs. I was a security guard at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where I met some of the biggest stars in the world. I might be the only guy to hold hands with Jodie Foster (she loved me). I moved furniture for 13 years for Prudential, Dahill, & Flatbush movers. That this pathetic loser brings up crap from 15 or more years ago shows that he has no life. No woman, no real friends, NOTHING. Everything is in the past. I live for today & am still having a blast. He is so jealous of my musical & other talents that it consumes him. Yes, I made many mistakes & am very lucky to be alive but I have no ill will toward anyone, even Seiken. I kind of feel sorry for that douche bag.

You called this guy Seiken a child molester and some of the women in the crowd gave him dirty looks and believed your bullshit . Then you called George Shea a crook and Maria Edible is sucking dick Shea cock . You also accused a legend Ed cookie Jarvis of sucking this Seiken guys cock as well Have you no decency or morals about yourself ? i mean really dude i dont care how much heroine , mescalin, coke or alcohol you consumed Its downright distasteful and disgusting

    Arnie Chowhound Chapman another lunatic founder of the AICE a MLE copycat , called Rose on the phone threatening him like a madman and said if he shows up at the next contest he will rip his lungs out. Rose called 911 two detectives showed up and told them he was threatened by a competitive eater LMFAO Could just imagine what the cops must of thought when they were taking notes . Rose recorded the call and tried to sell it on a CD for $9.99 I dont know if anyone bought a copy but if a copy is still available i would gladly buy it
