Angelo Cataldi’s most recent blog entry reports that the return of IFOCE eaters to the Wing Bowl in 2010 is not a certainty:
The big question now is whether to open the event back up to the professional eaters next year. I may not have to make that decision since my contract runs out before the next Wing Bowl, but my inclination right now is to keep them out. The pros contribute very little to the actual event. They rarely bother to prepare a procession, they have little or no personality, and they detract from the original intent of Wing Bowl, which is to turn an average Joe into Rocky Balboa for a day. Any input from the listeners and Wing Bowl patrons is welcome here.

The SBSun has an article about upcoming firefighters’ events:
In a quest to bring family fun to the city, Rubio said firefighters are also planning two other events for the spring and summer months.
One will be a monster truck and dirt bike race. The other plan is to sponsor a Major League Eating challenge at Cal State San Bernardino.
The eating extravaganza will apparently include a cop versus firefighter donut eating contest as well as burrito and hot dog eating competitions.

NewsObserver.com reports that Cameron Dorn won this morning’s Krispy Kreme Challenge with a time of 29 minutes and 50 seconds and that a camera crew from ESPN was present. It will be interesting to see if any coverage appears on Sportscenter which will probably be dominated by A-Rod’s alleged positive steroid test.

The North Carolina State student newspaper reports that 5,038 entrants have registered for tomorrow’s Krispy Kreme Challenge, an increase of about 2,000 from last year’s field size. The contest entails running 2 miles from the NC State bell tower to a Krispy Kreme, consuming a dozen donuts at that location, and then returning to the race start. Proceeds from the race will go to the NC Children’s Hospital and ESPN will be covering the event. Registration is now closed since the cap has been reached. Last year’s winner, Phillip Curley (time 31:20), was a student at rival UNC.
