Joey Chestnut Wins Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, Looks Like He’s About To Barf

Joey Chestnut has won his sixth straight Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, eating 68 hot dogs in ten minutes. (In case you were wondering why he looks the way he looks in the photo above, it’s because of all the hot dogs.)

The telecast won’t be shown until later (remember, Communist sports network of note ESPN is choosing to show Wimbledon instead), but the results are in. And they’re stupefying.

Some quick notes on what Chestnut did to his body to win his sixth straight crown, via Numbers Never Lie and ESPN’s new sports business/food shame stats guru, Darren Rovell.
