Lance vs kobayashi (think Hot Dog)

Not much on TV last night so I watched a little ESPN. So, a few things here:

#1: Is an Eating Contest a Sport and are the contestants athletes?

#2: The announcers made the comparison that Kobayashi was the Lance Armstrong of his sport (I saw this coming a mile away).

#3: Could Lance out eat Kobyashi? http://espn.starwave.com/media/espnews/2004/0704/photo/a_kobayashi_il.jpg

As usual discuss.

That was a really sad display. I can’t believe that was on ESPN, I lost a lot of respect for that network last night. The “color commentary” was ridiculous. Statements like “They both have great body position.” and “Uh-oh, he’s going to the water early, that’s not a good sign.” were just crazy. It’s a f’in eating contest, give me a break!

Will this be the new Texas Hold 'em?

Lance would win – he can do anything!!!

Triathlon is just running, swimming and biking. I have lost a lot of respect for this forum.
