Mike & Mike contest webpage and podcasts
A web page about the upcoming eating contest on the Mike & Mike show has been set up on espn.com. The page announces that the third IFOCE eater will be Pete Davekos. (from email)
A an audio and video podcast are also available. Richard Shea, who will provide commentary for the contest, appears on the audio podcast and announces that the contest will be three minutes long. The competitive eating segment of the podcast begins at the 9 minute mark with a parody of “Wing Beneath my Wings”. (Mike-Greenberg.com has the lyrics) Richard Shea says that Mike Greenberg will receive an MLE poncho to wear during the contest which will be available for sale this summer.
The video podcast consists of reading and answering emails about the contest.
On the webpage, Mike Golic describes his interest in competitive eating:
Back in the day, when Golic was playing for the Eagles, he was an avid fan of the Wing Bowl, an annual eating contest in Philadelphia. “I’m no stranger to mass quantities of food,” says Golic, “but I am a stranger to the speed I would have to eat [in the contest.]”
According to his Wikipedia page, Golic’s stint with the Philadelphia Eagles ended in 1992. The inaugural Wing Bowl took place in 1993.
