Walrus Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 If it's pure bulk I gotta go with big shirly,If it's Speed I'd agree with Odom.Nah, you guys have it all wrong -- it's always the little guys who clean up in eating contests. I'll take Quan Cosby. Second place goes to long-and-lean Michael Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairOnFire Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 So all a player has to do is show up and eat a hamburger and he gets his name in the paper? Sheesh, how did Chad miss out on this one? Edit: I'm now starting a rumor claiming Chad can't compete in the hamburger eating contest due to a schedule conflict involving him and Terrell Owens attending a very private hot dog eating contest.

Maybe if they had a less expensive combo deal........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they had a less expensive combo deal........ I've only been to a Fatburger once, and that was in Los Angeles. It was a memeorable experience to say the least. Because while I was waiting in line to order a gang member approached my wife and demanded $20 from her for parking....a scam I later learned from newspaper articles was commonplace for awhile. Clueless about who she was dealing with or that she was being shaken down my wife promptly lit into the guy as if he was some assistant manager making minimum wage. For the record, the place was packed and my wife was standing some distance away....so I see none of this. However, I can imagine it and it isn't a pretty thing. Later, after we've eaten, we're approaching our car when the gang member and two of his buddies blatantly block my path to the car. Plenty of hard glances were exchanged and more than a little posturing before they finally parted and allowed us to get in our car. As we drove away I wondered aloud what the f**k had just happened, prompting my wife to confess about how she had just lit up a guy she assumed was a Fatburger employee....an assumption she continues to defend to this very day despite the fact the guy wasn't dressed in Fatburger garb, but was instead dressed like a stoop kid from "The Wire". I swear, that woman is going to get me killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 2 more tickets sold! Down to 157! www.bengalsworldnews.comAnd to address several topics:1. We did not invite Jeremi Johnson or Andre Smith. These two have weight clauses in their contract and I do not want to screw that up.2. We invited Chad. He never responded to us, plus, he's endorsed by McDonalds.3. We're still trying to add players. Keith Rivers, Pat Sims, Domata Peko and Kyle Cook remain possibilities. We'll hit up the rooks after the draft as well.4. A large FatBurger meal does run around $10. For $20 you get that plus a meet and greet with the players. Get those tickets ordered!
