Kobayashi has an injury

[vols kick balls]

He "hurt" his jaw. He probably wont do the nathans hot dog contest.

I dont think hes hurt. I think he dont want none of Joey Chestnut

He should consult some local ladies of the night for some help with this. I am sure they have some quick remedies for this type of injury.

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Rub some dirt on it !!!

He's scared of Chestnut. He better be out there.

another "sport" where all I can think to say is, "Jimmy crack corn..."

 

[ut 4 me]

He's scared of Chestnut. He better be out there.

my thoughts exactly. didn't chestnut already break his record by like 4 or 5 recently?

this is not a very dignified manner for a professional eater to pass the torch. Can't he just ride off into that sunset with his head high, admitting the days are past when he could shove down 50 dogs in a minute, but fully cognizant of the fact that, for a fleeting moment, he was the best in the world.

surely you're gathering in some of the tongue in cheek on display.

 

[Volman09]

Of course

 

[BigPapaVol]

And the sports world is so dead right now that we are talking about competitive eating...

in a word - YES

A rivalry is born:

Opinion: Kobayashi-Chestnut an epic showdown - Other Sports - MSNBC.com

97 Krystals? 97. That is like $8 worth.

And that, my friends, is a sign of the slow sports season.

Chestnut is about to choke this away! He had a 5 dog lead a couple minutes ago!

 

[tidwell]

Back up to 3!

 

[tidwell]

Chestnut wins, 63-62!

Kobyashi DQ'd after regurgitating at the very end!

Man oh man, the greatest moment in American sports.

 

[duckman398686]

kobayashi looks like he's about to die

 

[vader]

Somebody cue Lee Greenwood

 

[tidwell]

66-63 is the official count!

 

[duckman398686]

A great day for americans everywhere

 

[TennesseeFan07]

What an event. I thought that Chesnut was going to lose it, but in the final minute he was able to put his eating performance into another gear and win.
