    Who'd he tie with? Kobayashi?

    I think I saw a graphic during the contest that said one of those guys ate something like 6 pounds of meatballs in 5 minutes. And Chestnutt ate 103 Krystals in 8 minutes. That's damn impressive. I'm done after about five or six Krystals. And ready to either nap or vomit. Or both.

    Looked to me like Kobayashi had Chestnutt beat in the last 30 seconds. I remember saying, "Well, this is over" when he took a two-dog lead, considering the pace they were both on. Smells fishy.

    If Pepper Brooks wasn't the analyst, he should have been.

    Philly has its big wings-eating contest I think I might enter. I can definitely eat 250, or whatever the winning number was this year, wings.

    Kobayashi got jobbed! He won that in regulation. I was outraged.

    (And I have to say, I tired of Paul Page's need to shout through every IndyCar race. "AND THEY'RE SIDE-BY-SIDE INTO TURN ONE!!!!!")
