Today Is The Day. Big Cat At Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship, #LetTheBigCatEat
Use hashtag #LetBigCatEat all day so we can track the funniest tweets for a round up tuesday.
Happy 4th of July everyone, we are finally here, my date with destiny. Time to eat as many hot dogs as I possibly can in 10 minutes. It’s going to be quite the event, and if you’re a gambling man you can even bet on me at various sportsbooks. Yes I looked into trying to Pete Rose myself or Shoeless Joe the event and possibly take a dive for a huge windfall but it turns out you can’t get a ton of money down on random bloggers eating hot dogs, so I’m giving it my all. My goal is 10, ten dogs and I’m respectable, but who knows, maybe I just lose consciousness and win the whole damn thing, crazier things have happened.
Alright now for some details. Because ESPN has the rights to this event I won’t be making a video (yes it sucks, but it’s something I agreed to so that I could participate in it to begin with, think we can all agree it was worth that trade). Good news is I will be live tweeting/snapping/instagramming all day long.
First, the actual event
12 et – You can watch it live on ESPN3, super easy to stream it on your computer, apple tv or iPhone.
3 et – It will be on your television on regular ESPN. Assuming I don’t die I will be live tweeting this replay. Should be a good time making a bunch of fat jokes at my expense etc. Use the hashtag #LetTheBigCatEat
5 and 7 et – Replay on ESPN2, can still make the same fat jokes, those will play all day.
