Now, for a real sport

Classic lines from the broadcast of today's Nathan's Famous International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest:

"If you Google 'American hero' tomorrow, you'll see Abraham Lincoln, Neil Armstrong ... and Joey Chestnut if he can pull this one out."

"Kobayashi's had his wisdom teeth out. I don't know if you've ever had your wisdom teeth out, but it's more of a pain than a Peyton Manning cell phone commercial."

"It's an emotional win -- a great day for America."

On one of the lesser-known competitors: "He's like Kenny Lofton and Sam Cassell. He's Robert Horry without the rings."
