    Pete beat Joe Shmoe, John Doe, Dick Hertz, Mike Hunt, & Mo Howard. These eaters are all ranked in the top 70. Congrats Pete, you came through once again. Truly amazing!

    I agree with Super Paul. A win is a win. Pete didn’t choose the competition, he just showed up and dominated

    Pete’s world class and showed up to boot. This was an open event for anyone who wanted it. Anonymous, you missed your chance to show the world how great you really are.

    Open, Steakbelly? Um, no. I signed up right away and did not get in. I’m guessing the Sheas did not let anyone ranked in so they could secure another win for their up-and-coming favorite.

    Yeah, they are so scared of you that they deleted your entry from the contest with no prize. Brilliant.

    “He Said” can we all assume you inadvertently signed up for the contest under your brilliantly thought through pseudonym and that no one from the IFOCE could contact you. For the record I personally know of 3 ranked eater including myself that got in but chose not to go for our own reasons. Maybe the next time you sign up for something or post, try using your real name and you might get into the contest.

    He said is not entirely wroing. Shea brothers have been known to do that on occasion to secure a victory or they can do just the opposite

    If you are an eater, why are you hiding behind a fake name? If the Sheas are so controlling, they can just look for the great eater that signed up and wasn’t selected and know who you are.

    I think it was funny to see the picture where he has the greens all over the place and everyone else seems to be watching him, with nothing on thier face. Someone should have explained to the other eaters that the goal is to eat the most, not watch the most.
