The GREAT Joey Chestnut wins again.

[NiftyNiblick]

I was just getting up from my desk when the Gestapo informed me that Joey Chestnut,

while not coming close to his own record of 76,

once again successfully defended The Mustard Belt

by winning the Nathan's hot dog eating contest for the fifteenth time

since defeating the once thought unbeatable Takeru Kobayashi.

He ate a modest 62 franks and buns, but the runner up could only manage 49.


Is Joey Chestnut the world's greatest athlete?
I don't know, but I also don't know whom I'd I'd rate above him right now.

In my own prime, I may have been able to eat a dozen or so.

New Yorkers should be very grateful that they still have Coney Island.

We lost our honky tonk Revere Beach recreational area to luxury condos
decades ago,
and our city is seriously diminished because of it.

Salisbury Beach, further up the coast, is pretty much gone as well.
It's a shell of what it was.

Norumbega Park on the Charles has been gone even longer.


Kids have nowhere to have fun anymore.

I would absolutely hate being a kid today,
but I suppose today's kids know nothing of the once better times.

It's all brutally depressing, especially around this time of year.

Be grateful for Coney Island.

It’s like clockwork, 4th of July comes around and Joey Chestnut makes national headlines. Love it.

The gentleman is clearly an American treasure.

He helps restore the pride that we lost when we stopped dominating the America's Cup yacht races.

When I was a kid during the summer if I wasn’t playing baseball I carried a ball, bat and/or baseball glove around almost all daylight hours.
You never see that anymore.

Geez....

Same thing with Atlantic City, NJ.

Locally, they destroyed Daytona Beach in a similar fashion.

Developers tried to do it with Miami's South Beach district, but thank God a concerned group stopped them before too much damage was done to the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world.

I was like that too before I took up boxing and golf.
Baseball was everything.

Immigrants from the Caribbean and Asia are what's keeping the game alive in the US today.
I think it requires more patience and thinking ability than young Americans have anymore.

As far as professional baseball as sports entertainment,
the combined Bud Selig-Rob Manfred commissioner administrations
have done everything that they could
to chase purists away from the game
while failing to attract new fans.

Fvxk Manfred and his disrespect for Oakland and Oakland fans. Disgraceful what they’re doing with the A’s.

My wife is German and always thought the object of the game was spitting, scratching their nuts and watching the grass grow - until my LSU Tigers made it to (and won) the college World Series.
I forced her to watch the entire semifinals against Wake Forest so I could explain not only the game but the strategies of how to use the pitching staff, when to bunt, etc., etc.
After it was all over she’s now a baseball fan and wants to go to some Alaska League games to cheer on the Anchorage Glacier Pilots, eat hot dogs and drink watered down American beer!

His support of John Fisher moving the A’s to Las Vegas and his comments about Oakland fans. It’s no bueno

Oh yeah. That.
The Raiders and A’s will always be Oakland to me.

Have a friend who pitched for the San Francisco Giants. He’s worth tens of millions. He grew up in a very rural area and speaks with a thick southern accent. He and his wife told me they get sh*t service in NYC at restaurants.

I guess it’s personal preference. I personally would serve anyone but if I’m going to discriminate it would be someone with a Boston accent or a working class NYC one.
