For those who somehow missed it, Joey Chestnut brought his A game and took hot dog eating to new levels, as he and Kobayashi went into overtime to decide the King of Hot Dog Eating at the annual contest in Coney Island. Both ate 59 hotdogs in 10 minutes, before seeing who can eat five the quickest to determine it all. It was shocking…well, cause I didn’t realize that there was a such thing as overtime in hot dog eating. Really? Soccer can end in a 0-0 tie yet we have overtime to decide who eats hot dogs the best? Thanks sports world.

And of course, come here tomorrow for the third annual Hot Foot Hot Dog Eating Contest. As always, Rob Harding remains the heavy favorite, but an upstart Robby O’Daniel could challenge him. Andrew Beaton remains banned for life after being caught wagering on the event last year
