an all out assault on the unethical technique of Crazy Legs Conti
Quote:To win the qualifier, you MUST eat AND swallow the most hot dogs in 10 minutes. Crazy Legs did more spitting hot dogs out in his drinking cups than eating. He wears gloves so that he can scoop up and hide the debris in his gloves when he thinks that no one is looking.
i think it's fair to say that old school eater god El Wingador would never stoop to such tactics

Nothing really to say here, just doing my six bumping part.
Hey all guys here.I am new here and am a NFL fan.My name is Wallace.Nice to meet you.
Wallace as is Wallace Wade or just Wallace?
Just asking..........
Extreme eating is beyond gross.
Man vs Food however is a great show!
Gentlemen, and Wallace: did you know that there is a Major League of Extreme Eating? maybe it is only the Major League of Eating, i can't remember. Anyway, it exists. I think Crazy Legs has been cleared by the league for whatever that may be worth

Gents, Prof, Wallace and Gromit (if you're out there):
Lest any of you be tempted to take a last shot at the big leagues with this, check out the "Eating to Live or Living to Eat" story in the D section of today's Journal.
By the way, I won't disclose my own score on the quiz contained therein. And I will admit to often looking at the "records" posted at various eateries (Top Dog on Hatteras, various hogie places on South Street, more than a few places round DC), and thinking "I could beat that pretty easy."
There are a couple of competitive eaters on the distaff side round the DC area who are truly amazing. It might be more than humbling to run into one of them in such a contest.
re: the contributions of the distaff to Major League Eating lore, i can only speculate but i harbor the belief that the wave of Asian chicks that arrived to dominate the hot dog scarfing competitions about ten years back drove my man El Wingador into early retirement. heartbreaking, really. he was the Julius Erving of extreme eating. really brought the league into its own.
and now look. corruption and fisticuffs mar the sport. some attention seeking dude broke up the Coney Island fest the other day, got arrested and frog marched out of there. that would never have happened back in the Wachovia Center during El Wingador's hey day
can you give a link to your WSJ contest? could not find

Is this a situation where the young Asian women who aren't good enough at golf to dominate the LPGA tour switch athletic careers to competitive eating, or is it the other way around?

Proof positive that if you're gonna say "no", you might as well go whole hog.
