    They had a qualifier which was 2 minutes then they changed the legnth of the main contest from 8 minutes to 5. Within that 7 minute contest period myself Dave & Pat ate over a gallon on chili each. I can’t give exact #s because they didn’t have any scales so they estimated with the final results. There were no utensil’s used in this contest & we were only allowed to eat with our hands.

    I knew he atleast inquired, cuz his email was listed on the email to all, but i also heard that someone had tried to enter anonymously. I assumed it was Pat, & since they wouldn’t let whoever it was compEAT anonymously, I thought he wouldn’t compEAT. Then again, maybe it was an additional eater???

    If I knew they were going to drop the time by 3 minutes, I probably would have given it a shot…oh well.

    I don’t think so anon. I emailed the MLE last week about my intentions to do other local contests/challenges and that they could take me off their roster/rankings at their leisure..I’ve been to Nathan’s 5 times and most of their other contests are out of my traveling range so it was time.

    It’s something to chit-chat about over a bowl of chili.

    Good luck to you Pat. I always considered you one of the good guys, whom I always enjoyed seeing at Nathan’s.

    Pat , even though we had our differences which included pest invasions and so forth, i could never bring myself to hold a long term grudge against you. You were one of my favorite competitive eaters from the very moment you accidently ( i think) spit in my left eye at Hartford in May 2004 . As of now there is no movement in the rankings so let us keep our fingers crossed that they might overlook it MLE would not be the same without you

    All Brian cares about is moving up the MLE rankings by default.

    Cmon jackass i know you gotta be joking. Pretty lame ass comment. Like #39 29 or whatever is a stairway to the stars Basically means that someone ranked below me gets called to the table during the intros before i do. Top twenty now then youre talkin

    No scales certainly meant no EMT. By the time an ambulance.arrived it would have been too late

    FYI, It was part of a parade, there was EMT personnel and ambulances all over the place.

    I would estimate that if Pat ate close to a gallon he consumed close to 6400 grams of sodium but very little fat. Unlike Nathans hot dogs which have equal or more plus fat grams . Yes it was essential that EMT was around or eaters with blood pressure issues could have been room temperature in a hurry

    Must give BB kudos for re-posting the links of Pat Philbin on O&A after the eggnog fiasco. Some very funny radio, especially when Jim Norton calls George Shea a “boob” and “a parody of a jerk off.” “What do you get for winning, a gold colon.” “IFOCE headquarters is a burger king in Ronkonkoma.” HILARIOUS… Take a listen if you haven’t yet. Just skip over the boring commentary about facebook.

    I remember the song, “Good Thing,” by Fine Young Cannibals—-great tune—-but not as good as “She Drives Me Crazy.”

    OJ hasnt linked anything from Seiken site since 2008 . As a token gesture you might see something like “brian seiken posted a contest video” but thats where it ends. I admit that O&A stuff is funny . They really get down on MLE and George Shea

    Has it really been 3 years? I could have sworn I saw a link to BB’s site in early 2009.

    Rhonda could be right but for the most part bb posts took.a huge back seat towards the latter part of 2008. Check the archives
