    Lefevre is done with competitive eating. You can believe all the garbage that is printed but the fact and the truth is that he not competing anymore

    I agree. Rich has decided his health is more important and with the wishes and concerns of his wife, his family and his doctors, he has retired from eating contests. I wish him well.

    Thats a shame, when i saw his name a possible entrant I was excited but to now hear this is disappointing to say the least.

    Either way, this is shaping up to be one hell of a contest. I hope I can get off the wait list…. but that’s probably wishful thinking with all the big names, and it’s in Vegas. I wish all the entrants the best.

    If you live in Pittsburgh, like me, our “Tri-state area” is Western PA, East Ohio, and Northern West Virginia.

    Not like the clue was that good. I think everyone knows OJ is a New Yorker.
