    • NeilSkoglund, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1fat fat fat, fat fat fat!
  • 3amboo, on 07/09/2008, -2/+16if I ate that many hotdogs, i would probably need a c-section.
  • Doorfingers, on 07/09/2008, -10/+29I was wondering when the hell this was gonna hit digg. 4 days late for the world's greatest eating contest is unacceptable.
  • Obzerva, on 07/09/2008, -16/+12Digg me down, but I wonder what starving African kids would think of competitive eating...
    • b3and1p, on 07/09/2008, -2/+2Forget that, think of all the food we could buy poor african kids if we stop football and instead spend it on rice! Join me at wontyouthinkoftheafricans.com
      • jankind, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Because people are going to pay out $75-100 a seat to watch those kids eat rice?
    • SpeedyG, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Buzzkill to the white courtesy phone. Buzzkill to the white courtesy phone; you have a phone call.
    • footodors, on 07/09/2008, -4/+1stfu!
    • yahoofrom, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1I wonder what starving kids would think of Obzerva's dinner today.
  • jamestwisleton, on 07/09/2008, -2/+4Holy ***** Kobayashi's a champ big respect to Chestnut!
  • xxxFRIARxxx, on 07/09/2008, -9/+1Wow, the last person I saw eat THAT many hotdogs was your mom.

    ...they weren't hotdogs.

    /those were the days
  • funkytommyman, on 07/09/2008, -2/+12"I think I lost because I wasn't quick enough" (1:28)
    Who woulda thought?
    • Jdub7, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Media probably doesn't ask stupid questions in Japan
    • SuperWinner, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2I like how they interview these 'athletes' after the event like its the bloody tour de france or something..

      Fake events like this have to stop, whats next competitive nose picking?
      • jankind, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Anything more than a mention on Sports Center just puts one more nail in ESPN's coffin. They gave this event a good five minutes. First it was poker. Then it was the Spelling Bee. Now this.
      • FucangLong, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Well how do you define an athelete then? These guys train, work and compete. Lets see you eat 50 hotdogs.
  • KaiSe7eN, on 07/09/2008, -3/+54Would've been a great finale if Chestnut would've done a fatality and just ate Kobayashi.
  • fakekevinrose, on 07/09/2008, -8/+3why would anyone enjoy watching competitive eating?
    • footodors, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1you know you watched it with a big cinnabon stuffed in your mouth!
  • fyrewal, on 07/09/2008, -2/+22I've got this strange feeling that later that day he also set the world record for "Biggest ***** Ever". I mean it probably was like at least 100 Couric's worth.
    • Nistelrooy, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3South Park reference. FYI: 1 Couric = 2.5 LBS

  • DeathByPOGs, on 07/09/2008, -2/+9your mom is so loose
    when we screw it's like throwing a hot dog down a Kobayashi
    • Nistelrooy, on 07/09/2008, -6/+1Its like throwing a hot dog down a hallway!
  • leathersleeves, on 07/09/2008, -12/+4AMERICA, **** YEAH!
  • dgreichert, on 07/09/2008, -6/+27America, ***** YEA!
  • samikay, on 07/09/2008, -5/+3Best part was the commentary:
    [regarding a female competitor with two bunless hot dogs sticking out of her mouth] "Now there is a mother I'd like to... befriend."
  • Barbarino, on 07/09/2008, -4/+2I thought Joey was done in the over time...
  • shifty2, on 07/09/2008, -4/+10Since Kobayashi lost, he must commit Sepuku!
    imagine dozens of half eaten hot dogs and soggy bread spilling out of his stomach...
  • panasianbiz, on 07/09/2008, -4/+2everybody loses sometime....
  • mattmollysdad, on 07/09/2008, -6/+1great interview.... barf
  • cklein121, on 07/09/2008, -6/+1That's two thus far Shooter...
  • Bjp494, on 07/09/2008, -5/+3I understand that eating that many hot dogs is pretty amazing, but last year when Chesnut won, the announcers were screaming that it was the bigggest moment in sports history. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a little bit of an over reaction.
  • Raian, on 07/09/2008, -6/+5And that my friends is how you die a horrible, painful death.
  • gcclarke, on 07/09/2008, -6/+3Seriously Digg, what the hell? Why is this hitting the front page 4 freaking days after it should have? Anyone who' might care about this story already knows.
  • crashbang, on 07/09/2008, -6/+1thats ***** gross
  • theaznone, on 07/09/2008, -2/+3Chestnut..pfft. What bout that 95lb asian lady from MI who can destroy them.
  • pahool, on 07/09/2008, -3/+2The commentators last year were much better:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V-2NKUlzns

    Watch for the Kobayashi reversal...that's my favorite!
  • ljw5021, on 07/09/2008, -5/+3So old.
  • harlowsmonkeys, on 07/09/2008, -3/+2Has anyone checked to make sure he didn't have help from Kirk? You aren't supposed to beat Kobayashi.
    • tribble222, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Why are you getting dugg down? No trekkies on digg?
  • redxninja, on 07/09/2008, -7/+2My gf Bambi stuffs as much hot dogs as these guys down her throat eveyday.
    • Khanvalescent, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1I guess you don't mind her cheating on you?
    • digidelia, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1with a name like that, of course she does
  • aantix, on 07/09/2008, -9/+1I don't know why Al Qeuda wants to bomb us...
  • akaRemy, on 07/09/2008, -2/+2What's the cannonball technique? And why has it been outlawed?!?
    • NocturnalTheory, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0I looked this up on google...

      'Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the "cannon ball" technique refers to squishing the buns of several hot dogs into a ball and stuffing them into your mouth. I know Chestnut and Kobayashi both use this tactic, they eat the actual hot dog in 2's side by side, then eat the buns after squishing the buns into a more manageable portion.'
  • slotimus, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2Oh no... Not the dreaded cannonball technique.
  • SoulSk8er74, on 07/09/2008, -1/+0God bless this beautiful country. It's the freedom we're grateful to have that allows us to have contests like this. USA!
  • ables, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Um, i've watched this about 10 times........ And watched it live.

    Is it me or do they say that Chesnut wins just bc he raises his hands above his head first? I mean he raises his hands but then puts them back down cause it looks like their's food in them still.

    I honestly think that the tsunami won.... It was even closer then the standard time in which it also seemed kobayashi had a lead in the end...
  • Andyschism, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1The tie breaker was pathetic. It should have been an extra 2min of eating.
  • dougrochford, on 07/09/2008, -8/+1Hot Dog eating contest? Thats fvcking disgusting....

    I am almost 21...I haven't had meat, eggs, or fish in over 180 days in a ROW now. I feel GREAT.

    I will probably never eat meat again, in my entire life.

    Good-Game....stop brainwashing our children to eat meat.....
    • cheeseron, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1 in that case
    • smrekar, on 07/09/2008, -0/+5what do you get when you mix a douche and a vegan?
    • Easyoffbam, on 07/09/2008, -1/+21-I'm interested to know where you get your protein from.
      2-Meat is not disgusting, and it is not wrong to kill animals, as in this world, it is survival of the fittest.
      3-For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat three.
    • Smills, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Well, hey, each to their own. I don't like broccoli, that doesn't mean I am going to try stopping you from eating it.
  • Daggerfall, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Related Videos: AMERICAN HERO - JOEY CHESTNUT

    Way to devaluate the term there...
  • jmm5149, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1I'd hate to be the janitor about two hours later.
  • SoulSk8er74, on 07/10/2008, -0/+0No honestly. How the ***** do I get dugg down for saying nice things about the country we live in? ***** this, I'm gonna go start a mass burial group!
