El Wingador, US Male in Wing Bowl 19
Philly.com and MyFoxPhilly have articles about the IFOCE prohibiting its members from competing in Wing Bowl 19 even though the restriction on “pro” eaters has been lifted. An agreement in the near future does not appear likely. Wing Bowl founder Al Morganti has the following quote: “George Shea can kiss my Boston a–“.
Philly.com reports that Kobayashi is prohibited from competing because his IFOCE contract is still in effect, but will attend as a spectator. (It would be interesting to learn when it expires).
Some of the prizes are also listed: the overall winner will receive $20,000 and the top local will get a new Dodge Ram pickup.
Brian Subich reports that Dave “US Male” qualified for Wing Bowl this morning: “Congrats to US Male completing his Wing Bowl stunt, your reward….the axe and losing to Wingador” No report on his stunt is currently available on the Wing Bowl website.
Bill “El Wingador” Simmons has decided to come out of retirement for Wing Bowl 19 to attempt to win his sixth title.
update A gallery of US Male’s stunt is available.
Bill “El Wingador” Simmons says his four year old son is responsible for his return to competition.
update Dec 8 http://www.youtube.com/user/BSchultz267 has videos of qualification stunts

Rifkin you are phoney fuckin ass lying piece of shit you asshole. You know damn well Brian reported that first on bits and pieces about wingador and he was the first one to break the story about US Male completing the stunt. How the fuck do you live with yourself along with your anonymous pussy ass cronies that slam Brian but are sure enough not to utter a bad word to his face when they see him at an MLE event .

I’m like OJ. When DOES Koby’s contract “expire.” And what are the terms under which it is currently still in effect?
Prediction: Wingador has too much experience not to win. Jon Squibb will be with him to the end.
Brad Sciullo has the ability to win it all, but somehow he runs into misfortune along the way. He is who I’d like to see win.

I try to avoid commenting on the who scooped who stuff, cause i don’t really care. But it is downright comical that the flaming comment from Jackass stands while we can’t get an update into the challege database and innocuous stuff gets deleted.

OF COURSE El Wingadouche came out of retirement. For Twenty-Thousand Dollars and no Joey Chestnut, I’d do it too! In fact this 20K is part of his retirement. Great analysis Rhonda, Sciullo has the most talent but somehow he will befall himself.

There is no fall of the IFOCE. Every person in MLE can be replaced. They will still not only exist but thrive. There is no one answer except the personal one, where each eater wants to eat. Wingbowl is one extravaganza, the eating part is minor. Major League Eating keeps reinventing itself with success. That success spills over and sometimes vice-versa. Not one eater has ever fully gone up against the Shea contract except for Kobayashi. He tried, they did not come to an agreement. Many have signed and sinned, caught or not. I think Kobayashi refused to sign a new contract before 2010 Nathan’s because suddenly he was living in the US full time. He got his own visa to do that, something the Sheas were not part of nor knew about until after the fact. Suddenly the restrictions meant something very different for him, I would say only for him. He will always be the best and most recognized competitive eater in the world. No spin from MLE is going to change that. It doesn’t mean that they need him.

“Major League Eating keeps reinventing itself with success”
Oh does it now? How many National sponsors does the IFOCE have left? Remember the alka seltzer US open, where did that go? Remember Waffle house, where did they go? Remeber Krystals (the largest pay out of all the events) where exactly did they go, shit, they didn’t even bother to set out a press release about not having a contest this year… Did you watch nathan’s this year? I’m a die hard fan and I can honestly say it was very painfully boring and hard to watch this year.
reinventing itself with success indeed!
Even a true fan, Rhonda adviced the newbi’s to stick with the Indy stuff because if you can’t challenge the top 5…
The amount of money the IFOCE asks sponsors to pony up is crazy, they (the sponsor) is already $10k invested for the rights of an emce and IFOCE eaters, that doesn’t include prize money… Yep roughly $8-10K just for an emce and open sign ups for eaters…. it’s no wonder all the major sponsors jumped ship, and you really shouldn’t be suprised if Nathan’s eventually does too, especially after that snooze fest last 4th…

December 7, 2010 @ 5:56 pm
There is no way Kobayashi still has an existing contract with IFOCE. Otherwise, he would not be able to go around the states doing anything, even if it wasn’t a contest, without their okay. .. and of course, he would not want to sign with them after moving to the United States – he stated that he was already having problems with them way before that and mentioned himself that it stifled his work by having to sign for one competition a year that meant he would be controlled by them the entire year.. it didn’t make sense to him. Who knows all the crazy things they put him and other players through as well?
If all the other players weren’t still controlled by their contracts, they would probably come out and say things too.

Only three people know for sure if MLE is thriving, if one judges solely by their income versus expenses. One huge deal with Pepto could have made up for the many other contests which no longer exist. That is their business, it’s a business which doesn’t exist to make eaters happy. From the current eaters view, of course it is not thriving. Who knows how Nathans feels. Perhaps it doesn’t make a bit of difference whether or not some people found the 2010 contest boring.
Kobayashi via Wingbowl is certainly giving them trouble for the first time since Nathans, but the trouble is all in the publicity. And perhaps it doesn’t matter what people say as long as they are in the news.
That little Japanese guy reminds all eaters of the meaning of freedoms. But, and here is the but, having fun? Lots of chances everywhere to have fun with competitive eating. It cannot really be about the money no matter who you align with. Reality bites.

They always have to use the family angle. “My son is the reason for the inspiration to comeback” Wingador has nothing better to do. He is a retired garbage man with loads of time on his hands. His boxing career featuring one round knockouts of tomato cans is not getting him enough publicity. His restaurant went down the toilet and there is no joey chestnut to screw up his shit. Brad Sciullo and Jonathan Squibb are not considered real threats to him.

News flash:
IFOCE / MLE eaters are now allowed to participate in the Wingbowl festivities under these conditions
1) A representative of IFOCE / MLE must be present and fucking the participant in the ass (nothing new here)
2) The participant my not speak unless the IFOCE / MLE approves every word prior to the participant
opening their mouth (again nothing new here) .
3) The participant must kiss the ass of any IFOCE / MLE representative at the discretion of said representative (here we go again)
4) The participant must honor this agreement even though it means nothing to/for the participant and everything
for IFOCE /MLE ( same old, same old)
5) Anybody not living up to this agreement will live happily ever after

Who cares if BB reported it first. If the New York Times reports a story “first,” does that mean the Wall Street Journal can’t report on it? Or, if they do, do they have to say in the article that the Time “reported it first”? The whole argument is lame and I feel dumber for having taken part in it.
Anyhow, Koby should tell the Shea’s to stick their contract up their asses. It’s pathetic that they’d try to keep him out of Wing Bowl (yet allow him to do other events) after all that he’s done for them over the years.

There are many things to consider. If Menchetti Boone Pete Lerman or anyone else not affiliated with MLE decides to throw their hat in wingbowl., George shea could have them banned if he comes to terms with angelo and al. I dont see that same circus happening again. Another thing to consider is george allowing his eaters to sit at the same table with lerman menchetti sciullo. I just cant see that happening also. . I highly doubt that angelo will once again allow george to decide who competes and who doesnt just for the sake of having Joey at the table. He tried that before and got away with it but angelo and al wer hit with a bg fine several years later. Bottom line , Brad is not getting tossed from wingbowl to make room for Joey. If by some miracle that scenario transpired, this kid would throw a fit the likes of which you have never seen. We saw that with Menchetti and a few other eaters in 2004. I doubt that will ever happen again. No MLE in wingbowl 2011

Anony 9:05 am makes several good points. But, for all of Menchetti and Chapman’s efforts, I think the fine was only $4000, not huge by any stretch of anyone’s imagination. The point was made and WIP will pay attention to what caused that fine because all things like that take lots of time, are annoyances outside of the goals of WIP and Wingbowl. In the big picture it seems it’s a showdown, pun intended, between George Shea and Angelo and Al and what each thinks they have to lose or gain. For the rest of us, it is just another yearly chapter with revisions.

Lennon was married to a woman with chicken legs, which are almost chicken wings, so there are six degrees of seperation that justify his mention here. Elvis’s big eating contest is next month in Biloxi. However, I bet he would have been a big chicken wing eater (in more ways than one). Also, a big fan of the king, our own BB, longtime semi-occssionally justified commentator on this topic and others, has his own six degrees of seperation to Elvis. Therefore, Talking about Elvis here is also justified. I think Mick Jagger also looks like an old chicken wing walking around…he needs to stay away form Wing Bowl, or he may be accidently consumed.

Thanks Wrecking Ball fan but unlike other people in MLE I signed a piece of paper saying that competing against the best eaters in the world meant more to me than competing in every event that came around and meant it. If MLE decides its not in the best interest of their business to have us compete then I will comply. Its not my job as an eater to decide what events MLE eaters should be in or notm ny job is to eat and try my best at every event If I wanted the responsibilty of organizing events and eaters I would start my own league but I dont. I am a team player and as long as my membership agreement remains valid I will honor it like my signature said. Good luck to the wing bowl eaters and I hope this event was worth the suspension MLE needs to enforce.

I agree that when you sign a contract you become personally responsible to live up to its terms. They’re easy to understand; they are exclusively pro-IFOCE. Oh, but the IFOCE does allow eaters to keep prize money won at MLE events, which I guess they perceive as a wonderful, altruistic gesture.
Some people can live with terms of the contract, but they cramp most people’s style. That’s why it is important to think things through before you sign. If you’re hell bent on doing ifoce nonaffiliated events (challenges, publicity stunts, whatever) then don’t sign, or be sure to run it by MLE for approval first, because they OWN you!

Agree totally with Wrecking Ball. If US Male doesn’t like the MLE rules, no combat applies. Take it up with MLE, see about their decision, but purposely being “combative” to see what happens is just plain immature. If US Male tried to get permission and failed, then choose. If Wingbowl is chosen, become independent by choice, say fine, take me out of the rankings, terminate my contract. All of the people who complain here about being owned are only doing that, complaining. If eaters really ever got together, (highly unlikely…doesn’t seem to happen though I wouldn’t know, perhaps some tried), and presented not demands but requests, then perhaps these things would be addressed or at least listened to. Every eater gets to choose but not to make up their own rules when they feel like it. JJoe seems to have gotten caught in developing rules. What is done is done. It seems as if he is happy with AICE, will get to eat in more contests and be more content with his comrades. That’s a good choice too.

I don’t know what my Army time has to do with me making a decision that I feel is best for me right now. My family and friends enjoy the event and so do I. It’s where I started. To be told I cannot participate in it because Kobayashi is present on stage (and not eating) is just plain ridiculous to me. If I get booted from the MLE, then that is there decision. I will surely let everyone know when that day comes.

That’s a convenient, human interest-related reason for coming out of retirement. The fact is nothing could stop him at a chance to wrest $20K from the prize pool, given the absence of Joey and Koby.

A very smart move on the part of the US Male. Unless you are a top money earner, there is no reason to be loyal to MLE. Any mid-ranked eater that has a chance of making it in Nathan’s may want to remain loyal, because that’s where breaking the contract will bite you on the ass. But I understand that signing a contest waiver automatically extends the contract.

I love America, but that doesn’t mean I should agree with stupid laws, unfair taxation, and governmental parenting! This is the same concept. Sometimes a little civil disobedience can actually change things for the better. If nobody ever resists unfair rules, things will only get ore and more out of hand!

The overall winner of the Wing Bowl wins $20,000. The local winner gets the truck. SO far the only outsider is Brad the lunatic.

Wrecking Ball – what gives you the authority to judge someone based on someone elses unproven eatfeats comment? Obviously Dave is not under contract any longer so he is not breaking anything. He served for quite some time so perhaps he was a good rule abiding soldier. Did you bother to ask him yourself? If you were in his position, how would you handle it differently?
According to beautifulBrian.com, Dave understands the consequences that could come his way and is prepared to accept whatever it is. Sounds reasonable to me. If only Brian Subich had the balls to do the same. He has never won a thing yet pulls out of his stunt to remain in good faith with the MLE. WHAT FOR!!!!

I applaud you for being your own man and wish you well in the contest. For the record I didn’t have a valid contract either, it really doesn’t matter. I knew what I was doing and accept it, as Dave seems to know also. My only regret is the probability of not being able to defend my corn title (I really thought I could go past the 50 mark, we may never see).

I think that’s the point I was trying to make when I said The IFOCE will fall or it will at least be trend set by the non top ten to just go indy, as you have all the freedom you want, better chance to win (especially since sponsors of MLE are droppiong and at least 3-6 top teners show at every contest)… Kobi, j,joe, US Male and even a few before them (Jed Donahue, Patrick Van Dam) all just kinda wised. I mean it would be nice if the IFOCE let you do both but as a non top tener looking to make at least a little money, the way to go is INDY.
Soon the IFOCE will have pissed away most if thier decent mid ranked guys (20-30 HDB type guys) have their ten freaks and 40guys like Sean “10HDB’s” Brockert and Shawn “6 meatballs” Kirby.

In the grown up world we are able to talk to each other if someone has a problem with things rather than just anonymously post it and that is exactly what Dave and I just did. Since his contract is expired then he has all the right in the world to compete in this years wingbowl. Dave seems to be a smart guy and is a talented eater, if MLE and him decide to part ways after this years wingbowl I for one will be disappointed for never have given the chance to eat against him. I know that I will be rooting for him to win it this yearm good luck Dave! @my haters who like to exagerate my totals at events I have done in the past, all I can say is I am having a blast doing CE and I have made a lot of great friends along the way and thats what matters not my totals. I am not a competitve eater as a career it is something I do for fun, I actually enjoy getting my butt whipped by Joey, Pat, Badlands, Sonya, etc.. If you asked a baseball fan if he had the chance to play with an all star team he would jump at the chance. He knows that his skill level and deidication to the sport isn’t at the level as the all stars around him but who cares? He got a chance to do something he enjoys with some of the best people in the world and that is why I am in CE. @JamminJoe I really wish you were coming down for corn this year! That was my first event and is an experiance I will never forget. I hope MLE comes around by April because you are the greatest sweet corn eater in the world! (In my opinion)

@Stallion Italian 3:55 and Wrecking Ball – great posts! I, too, do not understand the nastiness of posters when commenting here. Y bash one another; what’s the point? It’s a CE site for information, stats, comments, opinions – that’s what makes it a good site. Wrecking Ball, I feel the same way ’bout being invited into the IFOCE – am never gonna be a top eater but y not hv fun doing something. @US Male – u know ur my buddy and I am sooooo hoping you take it! I understand where you’re coming from since your contract expired, and if you wind up being dropped from MLE, I will miss having the chance to kick ur ever-luvn butt sometime in the future (hehehe) but had fun competing with ya!!! 🙂
