Announcer about Kobayashi: "Now THERE is a man!"

Kobayashi is my hero.

Anyone got video of this? I was out and ESPN's highlight thing isn't working for me.

That RULES. Do you know who said it?

It was probably either Jimmy Dykes (not sure if he has a regular ESPN gig) or Paul Page (ABC/ESPN auto racing).

I love that ESPN made Sean Salisbury cover this. His bitterness came through pretty clearly, but the best part was when he was comparing this year's class of eating "rookies" to the NFL QB Draft of 1983. I just know Ken O'Brien was sitting at home going "wtf?" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It was either George or Richard Shea, who run the IFOCE. One of them gets to be the "expert" commentator during these events.

Joey Chestnut... this name is pure awesomeness.

Is Kobayashi on performance enhancing drugs? The guy has a totally different physique compared to 3 years ago. The answer is obvious. The pictures don't lie man.

I guess if this is sarcasm alright. The guy works out a ton. The thing on MTV shows he is a heavy lifter. Honestly, how would steroids help you eat anyways.
