American Joey Chestnut proved me wrong on the 4th of July, when he defeated his longtime nemesis, Takeru Kobayashi, in the 2007 Nathan’s Hotdog Eating Contest. You’ve gotta hand it to Kobayashi however. Anyone who can have a “reversal,” (as the announcers so delicately put it) and put it back in his mouth like nothing even happen gets my respect. For those of you who don’t know what a “reversal” is in hotdog eating competitions, I would ask you to CLICK HERE.

Next week I am getting DirectTV hooked up at my house. As of right now I do not get the NFL Network and I am going through withdrawal. While I don’t think it’s right that the NFL is holding the cable networks hostage by forcing them to pay tons of money for this channel, I still am going to get the dish specifically for channel 212.
There is no way I can miss all those Thursday night games on the NFL Network.
