This past weekend while some of us were canoeing on the Russian river, lounging by the pool at PGA National, taking in football games at MetLife Stadium, or attending an animal husbandry conference in Pinehurst, NC; a group of highly trained athletes came together in the nation's capital to put their reputations and their stomachs on the line in the Ben's Chili Bowl World Chili Eating Championship. Not since TR's performance in the 2001 Festival of San Gennaro Cannoli Eating Contest have I seen such dedication to one's craft.
In the end, Nathan's Hot Dog Eating champion Joey Chestnut was victorious by ingesting seven and a half bowls of Ben's Chili Bowl chili in just six minutes. That is over 1.8 GALLONS of chili. This my friends is the price for glory.
The attached video is worth a watch just for the fantastic emceeing job by Sam Barclay from the IFOCE, even if the beheading imagery might be a bit distasteful in the current environment.
If you need a laugh, I highly suggest revisiting the pervious post with the "noxious farts" label. A true blast from the past.
ReplyDeletewe brought back way more wine than we'll drink over the next year, so feel free to stop by.
ReplyDeletejimbo fisher's making a big bet that he's right on jameis winston. he looks like a complete dickhead if winston winds up missing games for just about any reason.
ReplyDeletea more complete dickhead, i guess.
ReplyDeletelet me know if you guys want 2,000 words on russian river pinots.
ReplyDeleteI can give you 69 words on train beers.
ReplyDeleteFisher knows Jameis is a liar and a knucklehead (to put it kindly). He's just hoping to play dumb long enough to get another shot at a national title.
ReplyDeleteSo who drafts Winston next year? He feels like a very Jetsy pick. Or Oakland, especially since they just drafted Carr.
ReplyDeleteJets won't take him. They will give geno at least another year. Please, please, please let it be the Skins.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a bad move though, it reeks of Jets.
ReplyDeleteMight not Buffalo be in that convo as well?
ReplyDeleteMayhugh, from the top rope.
ReplyDelete"Hey, your team's front office is just as inept and void of rational though as mine is!"
Ahh, but the Bill's have new ownership. Have to give them the benefit of the doubt for at least one season.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. The Bills are completely inept and make stupid moves, but they don't draft criminals, at least not under Ralph Wilson. Note that OJ didn't become a criminal until after he retired.
ReplyDeleteIf the Bucs take Winston, he'll win a super bowl....with another team.
ReplyDeletezman - duly noted
