Tailgate Fan has an interview with Crazy Legs Conti (conducted in March or earlier) in which h makes the claim an injury has never occurred at a MLE contest. (Conti was present at a 2004 jambalaya eating contest in Washington, DC where Dale Boone required the Heimlich maneuver. According to Eat This Book, Crazy Legs blocked a media camera while "The Mouth of the South" received medical attention.)

    Thanks OJ! I was laughing to myself when ESPN said that about Pat! There was way too much red for it to be blood. Plus it was a bright red, not a darker blood red.
