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]

Unreal...Kobayashi sets a new World Records by 1/4 a hotdog and 1/4 a bun. SI Sportsman of the Year? [/ QUOTE ] Super performance. This is like Tiger winning the Masters by 12 shots when people were saying that Ernie Els and David Duval might be giving him a run for best player in the world.

Re: \"Official\" Nathan\'s Hot Dog Eating Contest
They will be showing this tape for years to come to newcomers coming up in the circuit. How he adjusted to the new five second dunking rule, how he was able to stay focused even though Chestnut was right next to him and jumped out to the early lead, how he ate with the eye of a tiger and the focus of a lion chasing his prey.
