    American Hero. Yea right. He ate 66 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes. Wow. I'm sorry but that is ridiculous to me. And I hated how they were comparing it to other sports. Saying this is the greatest American sports story. What about Miracle on Ice? All they do is stuff themselves without a disgusting amount of food. That is not a hero to me. How can we even say that he is a hero, when there are true heros in the country. Saving our lives, fighting for us everyday. It's an insult to call this man a hero.

  • Both. Hes definetly a slob; I mean eating 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes is definetly disgusting. But seriously, he is a hero in a way because think about it- could you eat 66 hotdogs in 12 minutes? I don't think so. ;)

    Neither. And definitely not a hero. He's just some kid who practiced enough at shoving hot dogs down his mouth that he was able to do with over 60 in 12 minutes.

    I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but he's done nothing heroic.
