It's been quite some time since I last posted anything. A lot has happened in the past month...the Cavs lost the NBA Finals in four games, Angel Cabrera won the U.S. Open, Tiger Woods became a father, Maria Sharapova was bumped early from Wimbledon (sob, sob), Harry Potter mania has swung into full effect, and my company has undergone a huge reorganization that has left many of us dizzy and lightheaded.
However, all of this has been overshadowed by the greatest spectacle on the planet, the championship to end all championships, the most amazing sporting event ever to take place...
Now, let me tell you, any sporting event where one of the contenders to win blows chunk into his hands and then proceeds to swallow said chunk, is the ultimate in grace, composure, and skill. Unfortunately for 6-time defending champ, Kobayashi, he met his match when American Joey Chestnut (that can't be his real name, can it?) downed a record 66 hot dogs (and buns) in 12 minutes. For those of you who may be mathematically challenged, that's 5 and 1/2 hot dogs (and buns) per minute.
Now that is what I call winning a world championship and breaking a record in style. Barry Bonds? Meh. Roger Clemens? Na. Joey Chestnut is the story of the year.
And he didn't even need to barf to prove that to me.
See you soon.

Nothing like the old boot-n-rally.
Well said.
