    Any article or story about Jason Conti is not complete with out acknowledging the character he plays for mle known as Crazy Legs Conti is a cheater and that MLE exagerates his totals and debris comp totals are just laughable . He (with MLE’s help) has screwed dozens of eaters out of money that they rightfully deserved .he has no more capacity than Seiken . his career recap should be titled “I Cheat America”

    I did a nathan’s qualifier contest with him in 2004 I didnt win but, he came at me with words of encouragement. I had only totalled 16 hd&bs (this was my first contest ever with no formal training). He said I did a great job and that in time I could be great wish I wouldve listened to him because I just started up again and am now serious and can hit almost 30 hd&bs with just a few months of practice sigh I wasted so many years. Anyways hes an upstanding person in my opinion

    I wouldn’t go that far. He has a bit more capacity than Seiken but not that much

    If you follow Conti mindset over the years , he usually comes to life on the keypad when something big is on the horizon for him . This might explain Huffington Post story. Other than that he crawls into a shell most of the time and you rarely hear much from him

    This is the first comment I’ve made in about 2 weeks, but I want to address the stone-throwing toward a very decent person.

    Unlike several of you, Crazy Legs Conti is above stooping to subterrainian levels of lambasting others in a public forum. It’s comments like those of 4:53 and 10:51which actually help underscore why I respect Legs all the more, because of the absence of such participation by him.

    Even if he is “guilty” of these “underhanded” tactics, two things: First, I doubt any of you can say that your CE (or other unrelated) tactics are always perceived as being totally above reproach, regardless of your intentions.

    Second, don’t be so quick to wait in ambush to dig up past indiscretions of others. You know that old saying, “What goes around comes around?” Well, that’s a natural law, and it occurs without fail. The boomerangs you throw will no doubt come back to knock you on your ass!

    A few of you could learn a lot about decency from the very person you seem to love to attack, which says a lot about yourselves.

    You are correct . Happens every time at the table when everyone else except him gets short end of the stick

    @9:26, Crazy Legs ate in two Nathan’s qualifiers in 2004. Nobody in either of his qualifiers ate 16 hot dogs, so your story doesn’t ring true unless you care to elaborate.
