America has its Jack Nicklaus, Bill Russell, Michael Phelps, Rocky Marciano, Pete Sampras and Carl Lewis.
But no one dominates their sport like today’s champion–
Joey Chestnut!
Who??
The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Champion has defended his title today in Coney Island, eating 71 hot dogs, and buns, in ten minutes. No one was even close. (He was ahead by, I believe, 20.) He’s won 12 titles in 13 years.
The coverage was actually very entertaining and very sincerely patriotic.
And then you have this—>
I am sure this douche has been to writer’s events, conferences, dinners and galas which served food that I rarely eat because it’s too expensive and in venues I cannot get into because they are too exclusive.
Show me these kids that are going to bed hungry and I’ll show you a fat mother that is eating all the EBT food herself.
1/5th of all children go to bed hungry in America? I call bullshit.
Joey had this to say:
“I think Peter King … he’s kind of narrow-minded,” Chestnut told TMZ Sports before the 2019 event. “He’s picking low-hanging fruit. It’s easy to criticize something. He could easily criticize NASCAR for greenhouse gas emissions.”
Don’t worry, Joey. That’s coming, I assure you.
WTG Joey!!! I watched. I’m ill. LOL
Also, STFU petey. Why so cranky??? I bet your ass is moist all the time, for no apparent reason.
…we had a guy do THIS locally, and it’s TRULY amazing because he gets none on his shirt AND leaves the table cleaner than how he FOUND it…

The actual stastic is that about 1 in 6 childen in America experiences “food insecurity” at some point during the year-very different than 1/5 each night. Even after 8 years of Obama, which were pretty rough on the poor, America is still the rare exception in the world in that we have obese poor people.
I had to look it up – Peter King is some kinda sports guy.
The pic in this article suggests he hasn’t skipped that many lunches and given his food to starving kids instead.
He’s a virtue signaling schmuck who probably got that “at least one fifth” bogus number from other virtue signaling schmucks who misinterpreted some bogus study by a virtue signaling NGO which has conjured up a bogus concept and definition for “food insecurity”. Hint: “food insecurity” does NOT mean “hungry”.
edit: @pbunyan – glad you posted about “food insecurity” as I was typing away!
Ah yes, the annual All American Nathan’s hot dog eating contest which is a showcase of gluttony. If I even ate 10 hotdogs in 7 minutes (let alone 71) I’d be sicker than snot and probably have to barf. One of these years I hope Joey Chestnut will lose it go and full Lardass on ESPN and puke his guts up all over the place. I wonder how he does it without getting sick, my gag reflex couldn’t handle it. They probably have to issue a tsunami warning in the local sewage treatment plant after he takes a dump from eating that many hot dogs.
I’m sure Buttigeig could put down some hotdogs.
For several years a Japanese guy named Takeru Kobayashi was “The Man” re: speed eating, but as Patton said, Americans love winners and hate losers so we had to step up. Although I think calling this a sport is a stretch, there is no doubt that they all “train” for the competition.
I can’t watch the competition, a bit icky for me but I applaud anyone who is the best at what they do.
Peter King could feed half those kids he is complaining about if he just pushed himself away from the dinner table. It is usually the fat people that drone on the most about world hunger.
Anon,
Where would Buttgagg prefer the hotdog to enter I wonder.
Some chick just won the women’s hot dog eating contest. 31 hot dogs.
[No, it wasn’t Kamala Harris. lol]
Thank God we’re outta “Pride” month…
Why don’t the hungry kids just enter these contests?…..
“Peter King” was 0webama’s Secret Service code name…
Moochies You ask ? “Dick Tucker”
@MJA
Kamala’s not interested. In-And-Out doesn’t sell hot dogs…

“Kamala’s not interested. In-And-Out doesn’t sell hot dogs…”
…SELL? Are you suggesting she would actually BUY something? Like, with her OWN money? She’d have to give up her Democrat card if she did THAT…
Hey Peter, don’t say anything, do anything or write anything. Because that would be participating in life. With so many dying every day, shame on you for being a life-ist and commenting on things that concern those alive; to the exclusion of those poor dead people
As a father of a ginormous son who played tackle in high-school and college, I can tell you he could eat that amount in that time easily. Now that he’s 47, add a couple minutes.
Slacker…..
F4U,
What Unit were You with at Homestead AFB ?
I was with the 308th Emerald Knights….F-4 D’s !
W/buns that’s over 15 lbs. Damn
Proud of the lad but disgusted by the concept.

Gluttony is a sin.
How about this finishing ceremony for the contest: Nathans shoves an equal amount of hot dogs and buns up each obama’s ass.
Attn Liberals…no actual dogs were harmed in this contest.
@Bobcat-I was Navy, NAVSECGRU. Our admin building was the first building on the right from main gate. Our site was 4 miles down Cardsound rd. Base housing was at 2762B NY ave.
I fished the canal that ran along the flightline dang near every day.
And I’m sure everyone here is captivated by our reminiscents.
@Bobcat-The McD F4 is one of the greatest looking pieces of military hardware ever. Those dihedral wings and anhedral tail just scream “DON”T F-CK WITH ME”.
Was fishing said canal when a tech cranked up an F4 on afterburner after servicing with the tail aimed towards me. I was 100 or so yrds from it. I jumped in the car with the windows closed and still couldn’t hear myself.
Ah, good times..

Not far at all from your reminiscents
As a former plane captain in an F-4 Phantom, VF-114 squadron, the Aardvarks in the Navy, I would totally agree with you about the F-4 being one wicked looking plane. And they are loud and I have diminished hearing from working around those jets for 2 years to prove it. We flew F-4 J’s, the newer jets may be faster and more maneuverable but F-4’s were King of the sky in their day. I also happened by chance to find a company that sells F-4 memorabilia and was able to buy my own personal VF-114 Aardvarks coffee mug this last Winter, it’s pretty cool. We were stationed out of NAS Miramar just N. of San Diego and were part of the USS Kitty Hawk’s CV 63 carrier air group.
And to this day I’m still amazed that the Navy allowed me to become a plane captain at the age of 21 in March of 1974 when I’m normally one of the most inept mechanics in a family of automotive mechanics. But they taught me well and I was good at it. And working on the flight deck of the USS Kitty Hawk was an experience that I loved, it was probably the best job I ever had and the one job I was more responsible for when I was young.
