The Goose is certainly one of the top gutgitators out there, regardless of his affiliation. Great job Goose!

I was just at the AICE site and there’s a 5 minute hard boiled egg eating championship on super bowl sunday to determine the true hard boiled egg chamipon. I think that Goose will prove that he could easily beat most of the IFOCE top 10 eaters and he will be the undisputed king. I predict no eater would even come close to him in eggs (or latkes or chicken wings either). Booker could at one time but that is in the past.

Goose is the real deal. The thing you are forgetting however is that Lyle and Hickman were in striking distance. I would add them to that list of guys that could compete with the nations top 10….of course there is Menchetti and O’Karma as well. AICE is obviously a fine group of Eathaletes and a heck of lot more entertaining than the stupid idiots with leisure suits and carnival hats. Also, AICE is a true Eaters Orginization where Eaters are encouraged to give their input and affect policy. The Shea brothers are Ivy league elitists who will never surrender any real power to Eaters or EX-Eaters. Instead they only include their small circle of cronnies and prep school friends (Ryan Nerz & others) in any real decision making. If you think I’m lying about that just wait and see.
