I watched the Major League Eater show on the Bio Channel and watched the disgusting actions of Tim Gravy Brown. He was walking to the Oyster Contest, drinking from a soda bottle, then just spit on the people as he walked by. That shows the disgusting disdain and uncooth actions by Tim Gravy Brown. If that was me he spit upon he would have not made it to the stage for the contest because someone would be picking him up and putting his teeth back in his mouth. With all the germs, disease and such going around, I have no idea if Tim Gravy brown has any of them and I am not going to alloow anyone like him spit on me so i can go to the hospital to find out. I do not condone violence but if he or any other eater does that, IFOCE or any other orginiztion should pull them aside and DQ them on the spot. I say eaters should show respect and thanks to the fans before one fans shows that eater a right cross.

Who does he think he is. The wrestler named triple H in the WWE. Triple H can back up his actions with his fists. Tim Gravy Brown would be toothless like another wrestler The Hangman.

From a personal standpoint, staged trashtalk is not amusing to me at all. Most of these MLE shows are just that. The scripts are devised by the Shea’s thinking that the viewers will fall head over heels in laughter. The stuff about gravy spitting and juliet cheating was pre planned. If any of you think the dialogue was spontaneous ad libbing , then you are just as dumb as you look

Those disgusting fans deserved that spit – I believe in staged trashtalk, and practiced ad libbing. Long live Gravy and the Hangman.

Agree with Anon1147. 99 percent of the commentary in contests is so obviously canned, but maybe it’s only obvious to those close to the sport. Who knows. I’m sure Gravy’s spitting was part of plan and the fans knew it was going to happen. I’m not sure that such a disgusting act is going to do much to sway the public opinion that CE is a disgusting sport, but maybe we should all resign ourselves to that fact that that opinion can’t be changed.

Anyone that bitches about wild bill is an asshole. He has devoted his time and money to the sport like no other.

No rookie of the year? That’s not cool. Guess that would have required too much extra effort and forethought.

Mega, you are so critical and negative. If no one this year was an obvious standout/choice for Rookie of the Year, honoring Wild Bill “instead” was appropriate, gracious and thoughtful. His intro and trophy were both terrific. Too much negativity MM makes one sour. Thoughtful criticism might get attention/action.

I was hoping for the best dressed old rookie of the decade award. Of course, if he was there, Rich would have won it, anyway.

Wild Bill deserved some gasoline to go with that gas pump he got! As for the Gravy Train, ALLLLLLLLL ABOARD! I just want to give my man gravy to Gravy’s girlfriend!

I’m still trying to figure out why MM thinks the fans in the Oyster crowd knew that Gravy was going to spit on them, as if the IFOCE, which has trouble enough just getting the contests to run smoothly, would have walked through an ever-growing, ever-morphing crowd warning people, “Hey, guys. Just so you know, a guy’s going to come through here in about five minutes, treading this path precisely, and he’s going to spit water in the air right about…wait…let’s see…angles, angles…Yes! Right about here. You there. Yes, you. And you too. You might get wet.”

What was Wild Bill’s trophy? Wild Bill is awesome, so I’m sure it was well deserved. Too bad the IFOCE choose not to give it mention on their website.
For the most part, my critiques stem from the fact that I believe that so much can be done to make the IFOCE stronger and better organized, yet those things don’t always happen. Sure, I realize the Shea’s have other things to do besides run a competitive eating organization, but as a fan it’s frustrating sometimes.

Mega Munch, I share your sentiment exactly.

I don’t think anyone has anything against Wild Bill, we all know that he’s an asset to competitive eating. It’s about time he got some recognition for making sure everyone at the table gets credit for what they’ve eaten even though it should be the responsibility of the IFOCE. They seem to come up short time and time again.
They change the rules as they go and enforce only what is convenient for them. Even though there weren’t any Tim’s or Joey’s or Juliet’s this year, it sucks for those who were eligible for ROY that they never got their chance. Why are rankings only done once a year? How long does it really take?
It’s been said before that the eaters who do this for the love of it are repeatedly on the short end of the stick but the IFOCE knows that they’ll keep coming back and if they don’t there are plenty of people waiting to take their place. The IFOCE just doesn’t care unless it affects them financially.

Anonymous July 14, 2009 @ 2:56 pm , you must have absolutely nothing going on in your life if you are losing sleep wondering why megamunch thinks the fans in the oyster crowd knew that gravy brown was going to spit on them.. Would it mean that much to you if megamunch came up with an answer to your question?
