TailgateFan.CBSLocal.com has an interview with George Shea. He says MLE would not sanction a ghost pepper or other ultra-spicy contest, but the organization held a "Battle Of The Bhut [Jolokia] XXX Wing Eating Championship" in 2010 and 2011.

    Battle of the bhut sounds like something a former stinky major league eater or better yet former minor league eater with 1lb bologna title should have entered

    George Shea needs to grow a pair of balls And come up with new and creative ways to grow the sport. Oh wait, he’s too busy being a huge douche.

    Its all about contributing to the pot regardless of the sport in one way or another. How can owners of MLB NFL NBA pay the players these outrageous salaries? YOU the fan paying admission to watch them play.Percentage of gate helps to pay their salaries. Poker tournament survival is based upon number of buy in in order to create a prize pool.Are there buy in fees when registering for contest? NO. Thats why prize money is what it is and that is why 4th 5th 6th place finishers and below get nothing in return. Gotta put in to get something in return

    I had a dream last night (no shit real) that i drove to NC or some other south east state to compete in a contest without a confirmation . I found Ryan Nerz hotel number called him and asked if there was an opening He said no then hung up George Shea showed up out of no where and when i told him about it he became furious with Nerz

    Wow, that dream is outdated. What next, Kate Westfall and Mike Castellano will get involved in the dispute?

    Honestly it was a weird dream Had no idea where it came from. Nerz answered the phone sounded like i either woke him up or disturbed him while he was in the middle of jerking off
