The Face of a Champ!

“If I needed to eat another one right now, I could.”

This is what this year’s Coney Island 4^th of July hot dog eating contest champ said after he won the mustard-yellow belt. The 23-year-old Californian, Joey Chestnut, ate 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes to win the title.
Chestnut beat out six time champ Takeru Kobayashi, who has been receiving a lot of attention lately partly because of his jaw arthritis. Yes, this is a sport. ESPN broadcasts it. Just as NFL players get concussions, competitive eaters get arthritis in their jaws. Especially a six time champ. The other reason Kobayashi has been receiving a lot of media attention is because he originally planned to not enter the contest due to the arthritis, but at the last minute entered in memory of his mother. Despite having jaw problems, Kobayashi still managed to scarf down 63 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes.

You can eat another one, really Chestnut? It seems like you’re overcompensating for something.
