first, how gorging ones self on any food is considered a sport is beyond me...but ESPN carrying the Nathan's hot dog eating contest, and then replaying over most of the day...granted, it is far more exciting that baseball and golf, but seriously? anyone who is considering a diet just needs to watch that 10-minutes of people shoving food in their mouths...will make you want to skip food for a week...

<--- cannot imagine eating 7 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, much less 70.

That has to be the greatest "athletic" achievement ever.

I like hot dogs, but how these folks cram so many into there system in such a short time is mind boggling. How they must stretch their stomachs to accomplish this is just .

Next time you are in the store, go by the meat counter and stack up 70 dogs? that is 7 packages of hot dogs plus buns.

That really makes my stomach roll over. I would never eat one again if I was to even THINK to try that.

My money was on Bacon Boy...

I'm thinking it would be a coin-toss against Peeps!

I think this news article cured me of hotdogs for at least a few weeks.

I'm hungry!

If you have 10 minutes you can always have 70 hotdogs

ah, an appetizer

While I freely admit I'm a pig, even that is too much for my belly.
