    Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest

    It's on ESPN, so it's a sport in my opinion.


    The contest has been shortened from 12 minutes to 10 minutes this year, so that might change it up.


    Joey Chestnut is looking for the repeat, but Kobayashi wants to take the title back.

    I think the shorter contest will help Kobayashi take his 6th ( I think) title.


    I think Chestnut will take a close second, and third place is open to anyone, although Sonya Thomas should be able to take that spot.

    I hear they are gonna go with brats instead of hot dogs this year. Maybe look for an Eastern European to compete for the win with this new change.
