    Unless Booker wants to be generous and win in Boston which would soften up the wildcard

    I thought in the women’s field, you had to eat at least 10 to be in the finals?

    Last year, you had to pay your own way to the finals if you did not hit 10. The Boston female winner competed in New York after a winning total of three. I thought that minimum was dropped but have not seen that explicitly stated.

    Travel expenses for the winners to compete in Coney Island on July 4th will be provided only if the winners eat 10 hot dogs and buns or more

    This is total bullshit. Some of the good eaters in the mens division that put away 20 dogs or more and never make it to the finals have to start making an issue about what is going on. Women get to stay in a luxury hotel spending money and travel expenses by eating a mere 10 hot dogs and buns? It;s a man world alright

    It IS NOT total BS a12:56. Women have taken a back seat, masquerading as the inferior gender, long enough. Men have been spoiled too long! It’s time to ascend!

    It’s time for women to dig in their high (and low) heels and assert themselves like the superior sex they are!

    Think about that for awhile, and while doing so, make me a damned sandwich! I’m hungry!

    “Some of the good eaters in the mens division… have to start making an issue.”

    I love this stuff. “Yeah,come on guys – WE need to make an issue.” Dude, man up and just call Rich or George and let ’em know how badly you’ve (and your group of good eaters:) are being mistreated. Don’t hold back – I’m sure they would like to know about this huge injustice. Just sit right there next to the phone and they’ll get right back to you. Too funny.

    This site has so many whines written, none of them directed to the powers that be who could do anything (or not) about their desires or complaints. The person/male using it the most to claim injustice is known to all, it is laughable.
