Wing Bowl 15 halftime results flashback

The following results were announced after the first fourteen minutes of this year’s Wing Bowl:

1. Gentleman Jerry, 112 wings
2. Beast from the Northeast, 91
3. Dave “US Male” Goldstein, 89
4. Sonya Thomas, 84
5. Pat Bertoletti, 83
6. Damaging Doug, 81
7. Bulldog, 78
8. Curly von Burly, 77
9. Joey Chestnut, 75
10. Dr. WingLove, 73
? Micah “Wing Kong” Collins
? Rich LeFevre
? Eric “Steakbellie” Livingston
? Bob Shoudt
? Chip Simpson

Seven local eaters were reported as having defeated 3 top 8 IFOCE members (Bob Shoudt, Rich LeFevre, Chip Simpson), but Dave “US Male” Goldstein is the only local finishing in the top 10 who entered an IFOCE or AICE contest following the Wing Bowl.

If “Gentleman” Jerry can repeat the 49% advantage he had over Joey Chestnut in other contests lasting less than 14 minutes, that would correspond to him eating 98.5 hot dogs or 154 Krystals.

    Instead of being marveled by how the top guys are lacking in the first half, I look at it as an example of how a steady pace wins the race. You know that you are going to eat for almost half an hour, so don’t burn out on the first 14 minutes.

    I can’t believe you guys take those results at face value.

    Logically, I honestly don’t see how El Wingador has a chance to finish close to Joey Chestnut at WB XVI. But somehow he will receive credit for eating enough wings to either win Wing Bowl or go into overtime with Joey. If invited, Pat and Sonya might as well not show up, unless it is to take in the pageantry and fanfare.

    Maybe the first order of business at wing bowl should be to teach the judges to count!

    I’m glad to see that I have rhonda’s support going into the wing bowl this year. I think us mail, steakbellie, and wing kong, are all way better eaters and all have something to prove. They should put up some big numbers and don’t count out wingador.

    -pat

    I just talked to El WIngador today and he is pumped & ready for the next Wing Bowl in 10 weeks. Of course, now that I have more experience, yours truly has plans to spoil the spectacle of Joey vs Pat vs Wingador.

    Yeah these numbers are definitely proof that Wing Bowl is a test of capacity, not a race.
