    I’m sure Rich and George would love to have him as a celebrity contestant at a contest of his choice. Maybe Nathans. Joey could spot him a 50 HDB handicap.

    Athletes that shoot off their mouth without walking the walk should look at the ingredients of one Nathans hot dog and realize that after a certain amt , those dogs will stop you dead in your tracks. Maybe he should do a few practices before he says something stupid

    Well and yes……he got attention, didn’t he. You are commenting. That is all he wanted, to get attention. He succeeded.

    If he was joking it wasn’t funny because people that post on here take their competitive eating very serious

    Two weeks between championship weekend and superbowl weekend gives the analysts a certain bit of boredom to fight as well. By Friday he might say he can cook better than Paula Dean and Bobby Flay.

    World Champ Dale Boone is already ahead of Joey Chestnut so he doesn’t need to talk.

    Dale Boone’s too busy stuffing his face to talk, he’s ahead of Joey Chestnut in body weight, body fat, BMI and most general morbidity factors… Chestnuts ahead in championship wins

    Who doesn’t talk smack these days? I appreciate Shannon giving Joey and Sonya the attention! Many, many more people follow foodball, and most know who Shannon Sharpe is, than CE.

    I would not be surprised to see a link/an agreement between MLE and Shannon Sharpe, or if he were to make an appearance at the Nathan’s Finals this year. Otherwise, why not mention Kobayashi, Jon Squibb, or even Suzanne French?
