Competitive Hot Dog eating is now a sport…?

I got your Hot dog right here Kobayashi...

according to Fox Sports, it is.  Huh, then most of  Americans are athletes I guess…using their jowl muscles extensively while chewing those ding dongs and twinkies and hot dogs.  Who Knew?

Joey Chestnut defends his beloved weiner eating championship by beating the Japanese guy who usually wins.  Joey = 68  Japanese guy = 64

Has anyone else out there taken notice that the food eating winners are always fairly slender folks?  They are never over-weight.  Maybe they oughta write a diet book when they aren’t able to hang onto their title. (hint hint Japanese guy)   Take this food compeition thing to the next level.

Do they save up and then go nuts on the 4th of july…starving themselves for months?   I would go with bulimia but there are too many on lookers to get away with that during the competition.

Do you also think Fox Sports sent out some announcers to cover the event in a play by play fashion?  Did they draw squiggly lines on their instant replay projector things, in case we missed anything?
