    Naader ,Your a good eater with a big capasity.If your trying to audition for MLE all they are doing is laugh at you..Do you think anyone in the IFOCE is not capable of doing the same, even # 50 can do it. So what are you proving?? I know you dont have an ego problem like LaFevre and Gilbert so dont you be listening to them.

    1011 is right. Something is very wrong here. This guy has been competing in eating challenges 2 or 3 times a week for the last 2yrs. Does he want to kill himself at a young age? I doubt very much if he is auditioning for anyone. This is more of a sick uncontrol obsession

    I have no interest in the MLE. I’m not a speed eater. Your comment is interesting because I don’t approach this as if I have “something to prove.” There’s no way I can beat the best, and I’ve conceded that a long time ago. It’s just a hobby for me, like writing. Hopefully someone enjoys what I write about.

    Naader , You’r wrong..You can beat some of the best, you just dont have the confidence to do so..You are hurting yourself by doing two or three challanges in a day and the purging yourself after each..Do you think thats fun? Your smarter than that.

    If Naader weighed 400 plus pounds you can say he is slowly headed towards the path of destruction but he was blessed with good genes and good metabolism. He never appears to put on any weight after the challenges

    The man loves to eat. Everyone loves to eat but they are afraid to take it to the extreme. You only live once let him enjoy.

    Naader,don’t listen to what anyone says on this blog-people who like to watch other people eat are all sickos & freaks.What you should know is that it is a scientific fact that the more you eat the shorter your life span is;your body has to do a lot of work to digest all that unneeded food.As you get older it is harder to burn off the calories-I feel so bloated & fat right now from the Thanksgiving weekend,& I didn’t eat that much,mostly drank.You seem like a cool dude so I hope you’ll do some research about the long term effects of over-indulging.Be well brother.

    Gavonne, I made it a point to take a couple of sips of WT81, and I must say that your assessment was on target. It is okay if you need a drink and there’s nothing else. It almost reminded me of nicely flavored and aged rubbing alcohol; but that’s just me. I hope sales go well, since they’re a new MLE sponsor.

    I take all my medical advice from Dr. Gavonne. It’s also a medical fact that the less you eat the shorter your life span. It’s all about balance and the eaters don’t eat like that every day. Get a grip.

    Was talking to Naader last night, and for some reason got the feeling I was gonna get thrown under the wheel for this just cuz I have my reserves with how CE is handled, and my own ways of going about it. I appreiciate “Good Spellar” for being an ass, but with all honestly i highly regard naader as being a good friend and i dont think he’s doing the wrong thing for himself.
    For those who think Naaders doing the wrong thing, i think you’ve forgotten that fact that many of us do things in life not so that we will become the best or near that, but simply for hobby/fun. I know i wont become the best tennis player alive even if i had 2 lifetimes to attempt it, so should i stop playing?
    If you guys wanna blame me for being a rat go ahead… but Mr. Good Spellar, i might be wrong in my assumption, but you sound very familiar as well in the way to speculate people.

    Rhonda,if you want to get drunk I’ll buy you drinks(the good stuff)all night long,then we can go to my place,or yours,whatever makes you feel comfortable.I don’t care if you are a dude,I’ll just close my eyes & think of Tim Janus.Hey, Next Please:people who eat very little live the longest,I don’t know where you get your information or what you’re talking about.Back to Rhonda-why would you care if sales of that rot gut go well?Are you employed by MLE?I just calculated that 99% of IFOCE eaters spend more money on transportation & expenses than they make in contest winnings.George Shea pulled in 6 figures from Wild Turkey.How much did you make?That’s why the smartest eaters are Menchetti,Podelsky,Millender,& all the other independent champions who eat when & where they want.Look for my new CD,”Horny & Flaccid”,coming soon.

    Gavonne, regardless of how much the folks in MLE make or don’t make, I really enjoy and appreciate what they do. They’re the entrepreneurs, the risk-takers, and deserve to make a profit, whether or not eaters’ cut could be “more fair” is not my concern.

    I coulld really get long-winded on this, but I’ll end it here. 🙂

    Don’t forget my most famous guitar improvisation,”Beautiful Brian”.It’s called parody,I guess it’s over your head Next Please(think ‘Hungry & Focused’).Rhonda,the point was the IFOCE eaters think that selling their souls to MLE will reap them fame & fortune,but unless you’re Joey,Sonya,Pat or Juliet you’re being taken for a ride.Your response makes me believe more than ever that you are a MLE toadie,not a fan.Sounds like you are a plant who’s designation is to promote this sick form of entertainment known as competitive eating.I know being on stage & having people clap & applaud for you can be intoxicating, but anyone & everyone eats.I played concerts as a guitarist & drummer for 30 years & doing something that requires real talent is quite different than stuffing your face.I remember being in agony with heartburn from the disgusting pizza during Dani’s House of Pizza’s 2009 final & thinking to myself “Why am I doing this,I’m a kick-ass guitar player?”.If you don’t want my love simply say so & spare me the jail time.Wow,just got an idea for a song…

    Hey you want to know what else is bad for you? Football. Twenty five mile-an-hour head on collisions tend to make the brain go all mushy in later years. Kids, don’t play football. Baseball. Stopping and starting while base running, twisting the body while batting. Man, baseball ain’t good for you. Let’s ban it. Getting up in the morning. Wow, do you know what can happen to you that day? You might get hit by a car. Better stay in bed. Also, of course, taking a shower. Most injuries occur slipping on a wet bathroom floor. Therefore, not bathing is also a dangerous act that Dr. Gavonne clearly practices on a daily basis. Birth. Man, don’t get me started there’s a lot of blood involved in that whole birthing thing. Oh, and regarding labeling people as sickos and freaks who enjoy observing these eating spectacles and other things that make life interesting. Now let me get this straight. Since Gavonne shows up to most of these eating contests in New York, did Gavone actually just call himself a sicko and a freak? Man that guy sure is self aware. Maybe being a sicko and freak is the one thing Gavonne does know something about. Kids, don’t be a sicko and freak like Dr. Gavonne, stay away from eating contests.

    Just to put a cap on my thoughts,the reason I went to these things then was because of my love for a girl who’s name I can’t mention here or OJ won’t post this-hoping she might show up(doesn’t seem likely now).The reason I go now is hoping my nemesis will show up.Again,can’t say any more or OJ won’t post it.I don’t like CE at all,I’m not a fan & I have always had ulterior motives.Even when I record contests I am concentrating on my recorder & doing a good job,I don’t watch the actual eating,I think that’s perverted.I will get satisfaction no matter how long it takes.

    Got it Gavonne. You never liked competitive eating, yet post on a competitive eating website on a daily basis. You first showed up to eating contests to stalk a girl which clearly didn’t go well. Now, since you don’t like competitive eating you still show up to contests under an ulterior motive to battle your nemesis. Wow, you’re like Batman. Except unlike Bruce Wayne, when you’re not battling your nemesis you like to make perverted video tapes and “Horny and Flaccid” CDs. Now here’s a guy to take lifestyle advice from. Yep. Nuff said.

    Dont give him any play whatsoever. This kind of stuff fuels his fire cause he has nothing else going on his sorry ass life. If someone pays attention to him, i mean anyone , its like he hit big in lotto. Ignore the fool or you will pay a price in the long run escalating conversations with him

    Like the Sheas allow him to show up at MLE events, so does OJ Rifkin allow him to post anytime he wants

    Yes Gavonne, I’m going to post my real name to a convicted stalker. Now, not only have you proved to everyone you’re an admitted sicko, freak and stalker, but a dumbass as well. This has been a prettty productive day for you. Also, well done on that bathing thing. You should be very proud. YES YOU DO ROCK! I know that you rock because you write it in big capital letters with an exclamation point. Nope, no need to say anymore. You pretty much covered it. My work here is done. I’ll tell you what though, if you really want to meet me I’ll be at Nathan’s tonight. Just go there at 11:24 p.m. I may be a little late so just wait for me. And that’s Mr. Chickenshit Douchebag to you sir.

    Y’all are just crazy. Naader is awesome and if he wants to do 2 or 3 challenges in a weekend thats his decision. It doesnt affect anyone else so none of you should judge him for it. No one in the world is perfect and you people who have negative shit to say are just bitter because you have nothing better to do with your lives than pick on good people on an eating website. Why don’t YOU get a hobbie

    Next Please:I was never convicted of stalking.I did 8 months for criminal contempt(you can look it up),which is quite different.The funny thing is I killed 2 guys & got away with it then went to jail for sending an e-mail.Sort of like Al Capone getting nailed for tax evasion.I don’t come here every day,only when I’m drunk,to fuck with turds like you.Since competitive eating is the lowest form of entertainment,it stands to reason that CE fans are the dumbest people on Earth.If you are who I think you are anonymous 4:27,I’ll see you(you might not see me)way before July.LOL.GR8!

    Maybe Gavonne served in the armed services. Not defending him. Gavonne, you do not use good judgment, drunk or not. If you want to continue to post here and not be an ass, you should filter what you write.
