Competitive Eating?
Nearly 24 hours after the fact, ESPN still lists the hot dog eating contest among its top headlines.
Apparently, something's a sport if ESPN says it is. After airing the National Spelling Bee earlier this summer, the network apparently felt it had to provide equal time to morons. So it advanced, covered and followed a pseudo event in which the winner -- and we use that term loosely -- consumed 66 franks in a terribly short period of time.
How long before the contest pops up on ESPN Classic?
