In other news, an American man, Joey Chestnut, brought home the Nathan's
July 4th hot-dog eating and most celebrated IFOCE championship in New
York after years of being owned by a Japanese human python named Takeru
Kobayashi, and a new world record to boot, 66 hot-dogs and buns in 12
minutes:

There seems to have been some question about Kobayashi's jaw health going
in, but he topped his own personal and the previous world record as well
at 63.
105-pound American woman Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas regrettably could
only place fifth with 39.
Finally, I thought I saw some college basketball listed on one of the
sports channels last week or the week before, looking vaguely like an
ACC-PAC multi-game matchup.
What was the deal with that? reruns?
