Joey Chestnut, great American, eats 64 dogs in Brooklyn

coney_island.jpgAmerica thanks you again, Joey Chestnut, for defending our honor and making us proud.

Earth never quite seemed in balance when a skinny Japanese guy was the reigning world hot dog champ.

(But as for the director who inexplicably called for a wide shot at the exact moment Chestnut was trying to clinch the dog-off . . . Dude, don't ever do that again. It would be like showing Burress' Super Bowl-winning TD catch from the blimp shot. Sigh.)

I didn't see this but isn't Paul Page, voice of the Indianapolis 500 from 1988 to 2004, the voice of this contest? Used to love the nasal voice of Page in calling Al Unser Jr "Little Al". How the mighty have fallen Keep that in mind when Dolan takes over "Newsday".
Is Joey Chestnut related to famed Civil War diarist Mary Chestnut?
