Not that anyone would want to take the time to read all this but if you're bored and a baseball junkie this is a great read and spot on. This is much bigger than Manfred but he has a role and fvck him.

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.

His record hotdog consumption equals about 9.5 lbs.
