Matt Stonie takes top spot in MLE top 50

Matt Stonie has taken the top spot in the MLE top 50 from Joey Chestnut. The switch appears to be the only change (cached version) ; Geoff Esper and Nela Zisser remain unranked. Joey took the top spot from Takeru Kobayashi on July 12, 2007, giving him a reign of 8 years and 2 days.

A championship parade will be held for Matt Stonie in San Jose on Friday.

    That’s some serious bullshit right there. I wonder if Joey decided to call it quits and this is payback.

    excuse me ^^^^ being hung over doesn’t help. #46 will have even less meaningful purpose in life when dropped. He would not be missed. So long crusty old man.

    #46 should be #48 after Esper and the guy who took 3rd at Slugberger get ranked. Then the crusty old man will truly have nothing to live for.

    I wonder how #46 feels about Wild Bill’s #22 spot. Does it sting much?

    Ranked higher aka fatherless shorty ask him if he gives a rats ass whether hes in MLE ranking or not. It seems to be more of a priority to you than it is to him. Btw time for cosmetic surgery. You could afford it on wife salary

    Truly sad when a no life wig wearer has no opinion on anyone in the sport of competitive eating except for his male crush on 46

  16. I love a parade! said

    How come no parade for Miki in Vegas? It looks like the good people of Vegas get it now and made the connection that she was that criminal that shut down the nation’s airspace system on 9/11 at McCarran airport. Miki got the attention she craved when she and her friends ran under the wire pulling others down to bring Miki up. But now Miki’s won Nathan’s consecutively, and real journalists, morning and late night shows, etc. finally looked into MIki’s background and what surfaced wasn’t pretty. Out of this newly gained scrutiny came a disgusting tale of the real Miki selfishly scaring victims of 9/11 because she was “mad at her boyfirend,” spreading lies about other eaters cheating, and her overall self centeredness. The only parade or proclamations Vegas seems to want to have now for Miki is running her out of town on a rail. So, why are no real respected eaters jumping to Miki’s defense to help out her image. It’s simple, Miki’s shown no respect to others so why defend and help her out? Besides what’s there to defend? Everything written above about Miki is true. If your not getting the attention you feel you derserve MIki then maybe a few public appologies about your behavior towards others would be a good place to start in redeeming your image.

    There’s nothing wrong with a #46 ranking unless you are pushing 60 years old, been in the league 18 years, can only eat 11 hotdogs, and haven’t won a damn thing except a quarter for the parking meter and a road map. HAHA

    “#46 should be #48 after Esper and the guy who took 3rd at Slugberger get ranked. Then the crusty old man will truly have nothing to live for.”

    Mike Whities probably didn’t sign the MLE contract. But Nela Zisser did.

    When someone from MLE says we care about you, go tell them to pound sand. Yes, who ever wins Nathan’s gets number-one MLE. Both Joey and Sonya have out eaten Matt and Miki at most contests, yet they lose by three dogs and for MLE it’s don’t let the screen door hit you on the ass. Joey ahould use this slight as a motivator and blessing. If it makes Joey mad, I wouldn’t want to be Matt against Joey in future contests. For years, Jaws’ been coasting. Now he has something to eat for and you don’t want to make a hungry shark mad. After a year of these exhausting events, when Matt starts tripping over his dick in parades thinking he really is number one, kick his ass at Nathan’s. Let Matt go around and do all the bullshit no top eater really likes. When MLE begs Joey to do a dog and pony show in front of City Hall, tell them no and relax at the hotel. Getting up early and talking to the local radio stations, TV, and newspapers — that’s not Joey’s obligation anymore. And, when MLE tells you a sponsor wants you for a crappy event, tell them that’s number one’s problem. Besides, MLE’s ranking really doesn’t mean anything and number one can often be more of curse. As #2 you have no obligation to do anything for MLE ot other eaters for that matter that you don’t want to do.

    If Seiken and Daniella Goya complain about the inflated deli meat added to that already poisonous sandwich then its obvious Goldsteins sandwich was thoroughly hollowed out

    What a stupid statement by the above idiot. Sonya usually beats Matt? Are you trying to be funny or are you just simple minded?
