For those of you who missed it, we previewed the 2010 Hot Dog Eating Contest a few days ago and explained the fiasco over Kobayashi and the administration. He couldn't agree to a contract or something. Amazing that they didn't have the second best eater in the world facing off against the first -- it's just common sense. And I respected Kobayashi, putting the blame on the administration for failing to negotiate with him. I respected him until this happened.
You saw the video correctly. Kobayashi got arrested at the contest for crashing the celebration. Joey Chestnut's celebration, that is (he wolfed down 54 hot dogs in 10 minutes to win for the fourth year in a row). Seriously Kobayashi? If you wanted in on the competition so bad, why didn't you just sign whatever negotiation the eating contest wanted? I mean it couldn't have been that bad. It's not like they were going to imprison him as the collateral price. It was probably a very minor disagreement. But if you didn't want to do that -- fine. Don't come crashing through forbidden grounds though. Don't interrupt Joey's championship celebration. Chestnut owned you, and like I said in the preview, your time at the top is over. You could have gone out in respectful fashion. But instead, you decided to embarrass yourself and get owned by America on America's big day -- July 4th. Congratulations... nobody respects you anymore.
Once again, congratulations to Joey Chestnut for being the greatest hot dog eater ever.
