    You know who’s going to be there as long as he knows they are giving out free food

    don’t start this isht. If that’s what’s important in someone’s little world, please let them enjoy it. It matters not to you or anyone else. Free food is good food. Don’t begrudge someone a tube steak if they want one. It’s not like you have to give anyone anything. If your opinion really mattered anyway, they’d make you the chief judge.

    There has to be more to this story. Petsmart? A new sponsor? Or are they just paying Nathans? MLE? Nathans wants to be linked with Petsmart? Nathans wants pets to eat Nathans? Is Joey in NYC for some other reason? Just a payday but certainly a different kind of payday. Everything has gone to the dogs. Oh, maybe a Nathans honcho has a dog in the contest. MLE? Any dogs there? Just tuning up my brain on a Saturday am and off to work. Doggone.

    It was going real nice until someone had to start some bullshit by mentioning seiken name in a negative way. I thought this site was going to change for the better . Instead of the 42 st Times Square makeover the filth continues to wallow. I can see no Disneyland theme park atmosphere planned anytime soon

    If you offered Seiken an appearance fee he wouldn’t bother showing and thatt is a fact

    Trust me this contest was met with strict approval from IFOCE . This contest is all about looking for new talent . Considering that George Shea lives in Brooklyn he might even handle the emcee chores

    The monitor says that one way or the other off-topic should be off topic. 8:08 pm started this and the following comments loosely related or not related should immediately be added to the plethora of off-topic threads. Make them all just one big thread so that those of us who really follow competitive eating with good intentions (and opinions, negative and positive) can be here, those of you just making trouble will have your very own playground. If someone reading this doesn’t understand these references, all the better. If you want to play in the mud, go to the off topic threads. Promises do not seem to be able to be kept for very long.

    10:52, points for humor. Joey has minus zero reasons to do anything other than just sit back and be told of his opportunities, he is number one. Looking for new talent among the dogs……….let’s see what happens. Looking forward to videos from somewhere, should spark up my slow must be at work day.

    Look the only one that benefits from this contest in Joey Chestnut. He gets an appearance fee and a hefty one at that plus more media coverage which he has plenty of anyway. Anyone that attends this stupid event just to “rub elbows” with what you morons consider a “legend” has nothing better to do with their saturdays

    I can’t wait to read the story that Brian is going to write after Joey doesn’t shake his hand.

    Checking back in, I may be wrong but all of the comments except mine have the S. signature written all over them, trust me on that. Anything to get his name back in the eatfeats game, or have his friends do so. S. is going to the event or went there even though no appearance fee was offered to him and got up close and personal to be sure that Joey wouldn’t shake his hand? How about a report on the show, what happened without making S the center of attention. Go and write to him directly and see what happens.

    Nice picture. The dog better not sleer when Joey is imbibing, or Joey may think he’s a keg.

    No one in MLE should be bashing a fellow eater in public, let alone the champ, whether you like him or not.

    Not asking seiken to judge is like a spit in the face

    How dare a west coast eater invade Seiken’s home turf. Heads will roll.

    I only hope the MLE does not align with petsmart, pet land or any of the pet stores which make profit from selling animals which come from mills. Many of these poor creatures are deprived of proper care, a vet,or even adequate food and water. Please urge them sever ties with any of these companies, boycott any events and choose what is right over profits.

    Hmm is a competitive eater in MLE or someone very very close to a comp eater in MLE. I think we all know that by now. Hmm has no life other than eatfeats and competitive eating. The fact that this person constantly mentions that most of these negative comments have “S” written all over it just proves that this troublemaker is obviously trying to stir the pot using “S” as the scapegoat. If by chance this comment makes it to the board and the fact that is has “S” defense written all over it , Hmm will claim that “S” is responsible for the comment
