Off topic, but is there really a topic here?
Champion professional eater Joey Chestnut retains the coveted Mustard Belt at the Nathan's Famous hot dog eating championship held at Coney Island.
In a format that was reduced from 12 minutes to 10 (to lessen the cholesterol impact of the eating contest) both Joey and his chief rival Takeru Kobayahsi finished with a dog and bun total of 59 each.
What followed will go down in history. Both competitors, already pushed to their emotional and physical limits, were given an additional five hot dogs and prepared for a sudden death, do or die match up.
While trading the lead back and forth through much of the battle, San Jose's own Joey Chestnut emerged the winner by a mere fraction of a second.
The Nathan's Famous hot dog eating championship is an annual event that marks the Fourth of July weekend and is televised sports hype at its finest.
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July.
