There were other good athletes with huge appetites in their own right.
Men who would finally get the chance to compete for the Yellow Belt itself.
To achieve fame and glory.
And not just runner-up status in the obscurity of Chestnut’s mighty shadow.
Men like Nick Wehry, for example:
Instead what we’re getting is a major scandal.
100% he cheated, one source told The Post Tuesday.
I can only assume he demanded a recount after stealing the plate, the source claimed.
Before we proceed, let us all bow before the awesome power of the NY Post’s pun game.
Moving on …
Look, it’s important to be fair to Wehry.
It’s important for him, obvious.
But we do things differently in the good old U.S. of A.
Here everybody gets to face their accuser.
And we’ll need to see your proof before anyone starts passing judgment.
More than anything, it’s imperative that we get to the bottom of this.
The integrity of Competitive Eating is at stake here.
And of our way of life.
I don’t know how to express this any better, but something about America just feelsofflately.
Like all our systems are broken.
Nothing seems to be running the way it should.
The way we’re accustomed to.
We’re lied to all day, every day, by every institution we should reasonable expect honesty from.
Or deserves to be.
