1. Almost famous
Still think “the Tsunami” rules Coney Island’s hot-dog-eating contest? Then you don’t know Nathan.
2. Pour fools
Coors Light just rolled out a national TV ad starring Kobayashi, and then this happens.
3. USA! USA!
Thank you, Joey Chestnut, for proving that Americans can eat anyone under the dinner table. To think, I was beginning to worry about our image.
4. Toot your own horn
A valiant try by
Chicago’s Pat
Bertoletti, who ate 49 hot dogs and came in third. I want to shake your hand … but I will not pull your finger.
5. Oh, the irony
Chestnut loves to eat hot dogs — I’m a dog that loves to eat chestnuts. And yes, ladies, I am hot.
6. But …
All this talk of eating dogs is really making me nervous. Moving on …
7. Nat problem
The Nationals hadn’t scored more than three runs in 10 games,
and they scored six on Wednesday? Oh, Cubs.
8. Red, white and boo
You thought you heard fireworks on the 4th? Let Carlos Zambrano lose the All-Star vote.
9. Cloudy future
Every day Mark
Buehrle is not
signed is like a day without sunshine. Cough, cough. Hint, hint.
FIVE THINGS …
… I did on the 4th of July
– Caught Frisbee
– Returned Frisbee
– Caught Frisbee
– Returned Frisbee
– Passed out
