Wow! I don't know what's worst, The fact that somebody blogged this sh*t, or the fact that it still goes on! It is funny as hell that a guy the size of the current champion could out eat a man that weighs double, in some cases triple his size! Wow [53]hotdogs what an accomplishment! What if the guy after ingesting all that food just keeled over and died. I wonder would you people still be cheering ? With all the starving people in this world we glorify a bunch of jackasses stuffing there faces! Amazing, !!!!

Did Chestnut do it....or was he disqualified for "urges contrary to swallowing"?

Wow, thanks for blogging that! There is no live coverage on the web. Did Joey Chestnut wash out with "urges contrary to swallowing" or finish with a legit 52? Josh
