Spike Eskin of WIP reports that there will be a major Wing Bowl announcement tomorrow, and the news will be bigger than the return of Joey Chestnut or Takeru Kobayashi to the event.

    I highly doubt seikens inability to eat pancakes is news worthy on WIP. I don’t think his most recent youtube vid would count as an “eating stunt” plus the camera work was terrible. Can’t he get any of his competitive eating friends to film him, oh yeah i forgot.

    Seiken will show up with 2lbs of microwaved brisket and gravy with the exact same container he used for the stunt in 2003 His mouth stunk in the studio

    Hey 152 maybe he just wasnt that hungry or maybe he was pissed that the manager told him there is extra charge for pot coffee which is supposed to be free? . He could have pushed for 20 or maybe a few more but for what? No prize extra calories he doesnt need I heard he left the waitress tipless after finding out coffee was not free

    Ill say one thing at least Seiken had balls to attempt to qualify unlike the midget who was petrified he might look bad by not completing his stunt half pound bologna and quart of chicken chow fun or fried rice in 15 min which was his plan. Even if he got into wingbowl they would have seated him at the kiddy table knowing he could barely get down a lb of wings

  11. anonymous said

    so what you are saying is he a poor cheapskate who can’t afford coffee, that’s pretty pathetic when homeless people can afford coffee yet BB can’t

If you can do better and i dont mean 20 then ill give you your props The man did not hit the wall at 18 but there was no point in continuing if they gonna bring out 2 at a time . A mid ranked eater in IFOCE (not in top 15) wont go past 25 if they get that far I guarantee it !

    Besides the bill for eating a measley 15 pancakes and $3 for coffee. Mr. Seiken will be billed for a new fork that was damaged by his rancid breath and a new seat which was stunk out by his ass. My waitress is in shock because Mr. Seiken tried to smell her ass.

    I have 10-1 odds WIP has Molly lose. They want the focus back on the local circus of it all. She isn’t bringing hype, attention, or excitement with her win. She’s about as exciting as the other losers in the past. She’s like watching paint dry. Just a novelty that’s seen her 15 secs of fame.

    Allen Goldstein never had any interest in qualifying for or attending Wingbowl. The only reason he was there in 2003 was because Jarvis was so sure he’d win the car, he needed some one to drive it back to NY. It was funny that Seiken choked on his brisket and blew it when everyone else he travelled with made it in. HAHAHAHAHAHA…..

  30. Reality Check said

    January 13, 2015 @ 7:05 pm

    “not even miki can beat Molly” is the stupidest post I’ve seen on here in months, and that says a lot. Wing Bowl is not a real competition. Angelo and crew will pick who wins, so long as the top eaters look like they are eating a lot. Molly might eat twice as much and lose by a wing. How stupid do you need to be to believe the best eater will win?

    goldshit had no interest in qualifying because he cant eat wings for shit thats the bottom line . Matter fact he cant eat anything for shit Hollowed out fake hot dog practices and credit for extra plates at qualifiers due to poor judging is about all he has to show for. As far as Seiken being only one to fail wingbowl stunt think again

What the matter you cant play poker with the big boys or make big money doing so? Instead you belittle a sport that pays off 10X the amt comp eating does and you belittle something that you cannot handle due to ignorance and lack of interest You are a disgrace to mankind and NO THIS IS NOT SEIKEN

    Joey Chestnut approached Brian Siken at the chicken spedie contest said hello to him Seiken nodded without saying a word. Siken asked him if its true that he falls apart at contest if he hasnt a clue to what food is being served up at the table a la Alka seltzer US Open. Chestnut replied who told you that ? Seiken replied your twin brother told Subich. Chestnut replied Maybe it was nerves not true. Chestnut figured why not screw with Sickin since siken screwing with him and asked him home run question “are you the one leaving comments on eatfeats? ” Sicken replied go fuck yourself and walked away

    I am not sure what 8:24 is babbling about either. After all, is he not the same table ender who attempted to qualify for Nathans numerous times with no success? If it is really nothing in life then why did you try to get on stage? What a hypocrite. Doesn’t matter how you get to the big show or who you beat, just get there.

    As for winning a WSOP event, I wouldn’t say that qualifies as “making it” in life. I am sure the money is good but it also means that you were one lucky person that day. Poker is more luck then skill. As Phil Helmuth once said, “if it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any at all.”

  74. anonymous said

    January 18, 2015 @ 11:47 am

    @8:24 is talking out of his ass. He would give his smelly left nut to be a table ender in that contest but never will because he doesn’t have what in takes. BOO HOO TOO BAD…. What eats at him the most is that the one he is most jealous of who made the final table several times, admitted more than once that the Nathan’s experience was really no big deal.

  75. anonymous said

    January 18, 2015 @ 12:23 pm

    I am not saying that making it to Nathans stage is small potatoes because many of the WSOP legends have actually admitted they follow comp eating . To what extent i have no clue but if they do follow it its Nathans and nothing more than that. Sure Seiken would love to make it to the big dance but the likelyhood of that happening it extremely slim . However you need to beat real competition to deserve a spot . Its unfortunate and sad that 1147 had to resort to email Rich Shea and Kate Westfall constantly for an update on whos going where and the “easy ones” and when he got a favorable response he shot down there like a bat out of hell knowing that females or locals with little if any experience (3-5 hot dogs) would be his only competition

  76. anonymous said

    January 18, 2015 @ 12:35 pm

    1104 i would have to dispute your theory Winning a WSOP event regardless of whether or not its the main event , has a lot of prestige attached to it. Much more than Joey Chestnut 10K We are talking millions and the more money in the pot the more they take notice Its all about the money but you need to put money in the pool in order to make it stir which is why buy in of 10K 5K or even 1600K is required . There is no pool money in competitive eating no buy in . Sponsor puts up the bread and most of the time its peanuts which is why the winners get peanuts and they only pay out 4 or maybe 5 spots if lucky . Tournaments can sometimes pay out as much as 200 entries while main event pays out 693 spots with last place paying 18k Now thats big money Hnmmm Hmmm Hmmm? 1104 being a poker pro legend you should know all about this

  77. anonymous said

    January 18, 2015 @ 12:38 pm

    Like @11:04 said, It doesn’t matter who you beat to get in as long as you get in. If Seiken had balls, he would have made the trip and challenged whoever he thinks 11:47 is. At least Seiken had the good sense to stay away from the “easy ones” because he would have gotten blown out in those too. “Slim chance” of making the finals is an understatement. Try no way, no how, never ever, not in this life time.

  78. anonymous said

    January 18, 2015 @ 12:42 pm

    Thats why Bens Matzah ball contest is missed The finalists got $50 and each entry received two tickets to Islander game . How can you beat that ? the winner received $2500 Ok it was just one winner but at least your $20 entry fee was used for a charitable cause while a percentage of the money went towards the grand prize. Ask Badlands he reaped the rewards and enjoyed the camaradarie of good sportsmanship amongst his fellow peers like Lerman Hardy and Krazy Kev . Judging was flawless the media coverage was second to none. IFOCE should take a page out of this and start implementing entry fees to weed out the cheapskates while everyone if not most members receive a piece of the pie

    1238 if anyone is hypocrite its YOU . Talk about Seiken staying away from the easy ones yet you ran to them. Maybe Seiken didnt know about the easy ones or hounded Westfall and Shea about the easy ones like YOU did . In your entire CE career did you ever beat Hardy Booker Jarvis in a Nathans qualifier . NO NADA NEVER not even in the twilight of their career did you beat them. I wont even go into the modern era Simpson Bertie Chestnut Sonya etc etc. But as much of an asshole that you are with the childish name calling etc i will still give you just due . You had one big shining moment at the table in 2010 and 7 or 8 when you beat Booker Juliet Monsoon Gordon at the same table & Rios (twice) I wont even count Conti Kevin Ross & Davekos because i never considered any of those names competition to begin with

    Comparing poker to comp eating is like apples and oranges. Poker pays big money but its a sport with no name characters and personalities as dead as a doornail. I would welcome a Joey Chestnut interview over Phil Ivey Martin Jacobson or that Van Hoof guy. They have personas about as exciting as wet mops. I think if you asked the average joe off the street what he thinks of Phil Ivey ? He would say Phil who? If you posed the same question about Joey Chestnut you would get a different answer

  81. anonymous said

    January 18, 2015 @ 1:10 pm

    Unless you can eat 30 hotdogs, any strategy to win a qualifier whether trying to find out who is going where or waiting until the end to see who left is a smart move. That won’t work anymore with today’s totals. I agree with 12:42, Ben’s was a fun and well run event. Can’t beat that.

  82. anonymous said

    January 18, 2015 @ 1:21 pm

    Poker players don’t have to have bubbly personalities however alot of the big names do enjoy camaraderie together away from the table. Same with competitive eating. Some people aren’t so quick to judge others. If you really get to know a person and share the same hobbies, then it’s all good. Sad thing is one person enjoys attempting to ruin it for everybody else. Most eaters don’t care what he has to say let alone care if he still lives.

    I also concur that this person will never, ever in this lifetime step foot on the Nathans finals stage.

    Not a bad analogy If you can eat 30 dogs it’s same as having a huge bankroll of chips at the poker table. Skill only accounts for small percentage of victory huge $$$ and luck of the cards that counts With that said you will always have the edge and command no matter what qualifier you enter
