Just to be clear, the only reason I decided to mention the Nathan’s Hotdog Eating Contest in today’s blog is because I have a feeling at some point in the near future you will see some competitive eating memorabilia for sale. How about a signed package of wieners from Takeru Kobayashi or maybe some brats used in the Johnsonville event by the Black Widow… You know it’s only a matter of time.
Anyway, I see that Mr. Kobayashi, the undefeated king of eating, is actually an underdog to the American Joey Chestnut… Oooo, the excitement. I know what I will be watching on my 4th of July holiday.

Check this out. There is actually betting being taken on this event! Crazy. You can win even money if you take the slight-dog Kobayashi. Supposedly he has some sort of jaw injury, otherwise he would be the favorite. I am calling it right here on Gavel Chat – Kobayashi will once again prevail in a Jordan-like performance, just like when he dominated in the NBA Finals with the flu!

Wow… I guess I really couldn’t come up with anything better for today’s blog… Sorry guys. I will have some better stuff Friday… By the way. I will be gone Wednesday and a Thursday. Have a great holiday.
