dude! it's gross, but fascinating: competitive eating champ kobayashi lost the nathan's famous hot dog eating competition today to a new champ, joey chestnut.

i think abcnews's coverage is the silliest. their video hightlights includes an awesome quote about this being something like the greatest moment in american sports history.

mmmm, i don't think so.

i do like this quote, though: "With that heroic feat at the competition's Southwest Regional qualifier, America's hopes of reclaiming the Mustard Belt, once a seemingly impossible dream in the face of Kobayashi's inimitable prowess, rose like a phoenix from the desert sands of Arizona."

someone had fun at the news bureau covering that story today, that's for sure!
