Brad Sciullo and Brent Ricord articles

PittsburghLive has an article about Brad Sciullo which calls him the world record holder in cannoli eating even though Tim Janus and Cookie Jarvis have eaten more cannolis. Brad says he has consumed a gallon of milk in 26 seconds, almost halving Joey Chestnut’s qualification stunt for Wing Bowl 14.

Brad Sciullo will compete in the Famous Famiglia pizza contest a week from today, which might upset some IFOCE members who did not get a slot in that competition and have abided by the IFOCE contractual restrictions.

The Star Telegram has an interview with corny dog runner-up Brent Ricord.

A list of the San Genarro cannoli contest winners and their totals follows after the jump:

    10 questions for Super Paul on IFOCE.com

    IFOCE.com has been updated with 10 questions answered by “Super” Paul “Bone Breaker” Barlow:

    MLE: Tropicmon.com also shows a host of celebrities – such luminaries as Michael Jordan, Bill Clinton, and Emmanuel Lewis – hunting down SuperPaul for a photo. Does this ever get irritating? What stalker celebrity have you had to turn down for a photo op, and why? What was your favorite celeb run-in?

    SPB: Many, many, times I have had to turn down beautiful supermodels who wanted more than just a picture, but then I woke up.

    My favorite celebrity run-in was Jenny McCarthy, the Playboy centerfold turned actress turned autism advocate. I wanted more than a picture, but she turned me down. I actually made her laugh with me, not at me. It made me feel all funny inside, and I ruined my Depends. Another favorite was meeting Vendela Kirsebom, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. She told me she would never forget me, and the next two times I met her, she remembered me…after I reminded her of who I was.
