AZReporter has a preview of Saturday’s Nathan’s qualifier at Arizona Mills Mall in Tempe. The field is listed as: Tim Brown, Erik Denmark, Kevin Ross, El Toro, Russ “The Mad Stork” Witzke, Jesus Cabrales, David “Conan” Cohn and Wallace “Bye Bye” Beisel. The article contains the following prediction:
Richard Shea, president of Major League Eating, the group that governs the Nathan’s Famous contest circuit, said: “I believe an unknown eating champion is walking the streets of Hartford, a champion who possesses the pride of Connecticut and the stomach capacity required to set a new world hot dog eating record.”

Anyone going to Kansas City or New Orleans? Not much said about those two contests. I’ve only heard of Erik for KC

What qualifier will the Hangman be showing up at? For $5, you can touch his Hangman championship belt. It’s like meeting Hulk Hogan except more thrilling,
Dr. Bigtime said

My ego will be in New Orleans. I may show up as well. Gonna be expensive getting 2 plane tickets to accommodate both on da plane.

Haters?…..they praised you, just telling the truth of a few others. Don’t be so political. Stick to eating well, Gravy and win big in Tempe.

Why would Shea mention an “unknown eater for Hartford”? I don’t get it. Shouldn’t he have said that before the Hartford Qualifer?

you can tell the actually eaters from the non eaters,cause we all have a mutual respect for eachother and enjoy hanging out with other eaters,regardless of how you do at the event. Good luck to all the eaters this weekend – Have A Nice Day 🙂

Ego or not, like it or not, Dr. Big Time will eat 22-24.

I will put in a prediction, Juris will do 16.5 in his first qualifier for the year.
Fanatic, I wonder why the reporter didn’t pick up on that too!

16.5? What kind of stupid prediction is that?
This is a perfect example of why it’s okay for people to tell people to shut up.
Carey said
May 30, 2008 @ 1:26 pm
It’s a prediction. If I am wrong, then I am wrong, but no one knows until after the qualifier. If you are going to tell me to shut up, grow some balls and use your name, and then tell me to shut up, not beat around the bush. You are a perfect example of why abortion is legal.

Your insults are as bad as your predictions. 16.5 is crazy. That’s how many you would eat.
Carey said
May 30, 2008 @ 3:33 pm
no, but close. last time I tried Nathans hotdogs over a year ago I got to 16. I also took 12 minutes to do it. These qualifiers are only 10 minutes long now. They also seem to be using a harder hot dog to eat, based on reports from Pittsburgh. I don’t think Juris’ first attempt is going to beat Subich’s, that is the basis of my prediction.

It’s a still bad prediction. Mine is better. We’ll agree to disagree until it’s over.
