Pat Philbin auctions trophy for Katrina relief
(From beautifulbrian.com) In a very generous gesture, Pat Philbin has placed the trophy he won at the Philadelphia Nathan’s qualifier along with his competitor’s pass for the Coney Island contest on ebay with 100% of the proceeds going to the Red Cross for Katrina relief. The current bid is $108.51 which is a doubling of the bid from two days ago. Bidding ends September 22.
Swallow Your Pride Premier pictures
competitiveeaters.com has some pictures of the premier of Swallow Your Pride, but no commentary about the film besides the fact that it was well received.
Humble Bob has removed his review of that motion picture after just one day.
Sonya lists Wing Bowl as one of her favorite events despite thrown objects and verbal abuse
In FAQ #29 on her home page, Sonya claims that the Wing Bowl was an event she “thoroughly enjoys” participating in and that the fun she has at a contest is proportional to the crowd size. This would be understandable if every member in a large crowd was on tolerable behavior but at the 2005 Wing Bowl they most certainly were not:

It is possible she was focused enough to tune out verbal insults from the crowd, but it seems that thrown objects would be impossible to ignore.
It would be interesting to see how the Wing Bowl crowd would treat South Jersey girl Kate Stelnick if she ever participates in it.
