Joey judges halftime hot dog contest
The San Jose Mercury blog reports that Joey Chestnut judged a hot dog eating contest at half time of the basketball game between San Jose State and Santa Clara. The blog entry is about the author getting an autograph from Joey.
I told him a friend of mine was a fan (again: not totally sure about this now), and I asked for his autograph.
I also told him I work at the Merc (at least until my editors read this) and was covering the game (full disclosure is always best).
For good measure, I asked if he is currently enrolled at SJSU.
“Yeah, but I’m only taking two classes,” he said. Then he paused and kinda half-grinned. “I do other things.”
66 dogs in 12 minutes — I’d say that qualifies as “other things.”
J.C. was really, really nice, and very polite, and he happily signed the autograph (FYI: he’s lefthanded).

The only reason that Lerman wants to know if the hot dogs were Nathans or not is that just in case they were not Nathans, he could call the Sheas and tell them he turned down an offer to judge a contest because the dogs were not Nathans and Joey should have done the same. There is no other reason he is interested in this bullcrap
