Kobayashi had a rib injury last year too which affected his performance... I expect him to win... although that girl could be a sleeper

The Black Widow? Sonya something I think?

I don't think she'll win, but she could compete.

Wasn't it a jaw injury that Kobayashi had? He's still at the top of his game and last month he beat Chestnut in a pizza-eating contest.

Best rivalry in sports.

If by refund, you mean vomit, no. They are DQ'd if they vomit....at least if they vomit right away, after they're crowned and leave the area, idk...

Maybe this is the year Chestnut strains an adominal muscle and is out 2-4 weeks

yea, I meant after they leave or whatever. I know if they toss their cookies right then and there, they're out.

ljshorty89 · #12 06-26-2009, 04:36 PM

I'm not sure. I mean, if they make it that far, they might as well not....

But who knows, maybe they do to keep weight off?

Providence A's · #13 06-26-2009, 04:39 PM

or take a laxative.

ljshorty89 · #14 06-26-2009, 04:43 PM

Or both....

....sorry for that disturbing thought.
