NFT: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest

robbieballs2003 : 7/4/2019 10:14 am
I don't know why I love this event so much but I crack up every time whether it be for the pure disgusting-ness or the wrestling-style introductions.

But Joey Chestnut is going for another world record by trying to beat his 2018 record of 74 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Below is a little dive into how lucrative this has been for him.

The women's event starts at 10:45 with the men's to follow at 12.

The greatest 10 minutes in all of sports!

Joey Chestnut is a true American hero.
I got 76.5 and under

With my co worker for lunch. Go Joey but don’t do 76.75
I feel like they lied last year. I don't think he did 74.

Theh seemed to just start throwing numbers around to get everybody excited. I think you are safe with 76.5.
900k?

That’s not nearly enough for what he’s put his body through.

I’m still waiting for the day his stomach just ruptures from idiotically putting so much food in it.
I’m rooting for The Stomach

Yeah they added a bunch after he was finished, said the counter "miscounted". You have 1 job, count the hotdogs! They really made a mockery of this sport.

Hotdogs for lunch and watch Joey Chestnuts. Nobody will come close.

The 30 for 30, chestnut comes off as an asshole. The abuse Kobayashi took was sad.
Absolutely dominates his sport  
Coach Red Beaulieu : 7/4/2019 4:53 pm : link
And can't think of anyone even close. Brady, Jordan, Ali, nope. Never won a championship 12 years in a row. Michael Phelps maybe.
Meanwhile, in The Philippines...

In terms of consecutive victories in any individual sport, Edwin Moses the hurdler and Dan Gable the freestyle wrestler come to mind for crazy long term strings of winning every single match or race they participated in.

In terms of supreme championships that don't require and/or even preclude the winning of individual "matches" or "stages" as part of the strategy to win the war while choosing your battles, Lance Armstrong's record in the Tour de France stands above all others, doping issues or not, IMO.

Just defeating the odds of something going wrong during a month long race for seven straight years that covers however many ridiculous miles (ca. 3,500 KM), climbs and descents, or getting a flu that knocks you on your ass for a few days, or whatever, winning the Tour de France that many times consecutively (seven) is beyond crazy.
