OK, I didn't understand ESPN'S choosing to air Scripps National Spelling Bee.
I finally accepted it.
But honestly, do we really need Breaking News for hot dogs?
Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest was Wednesday in Coney Island, N.Y. Joey Chesnut ate 66 in 12 minutes to dethrone longtime reigning champion Takeru Kobayashi.
Call it entertaining (although I question those who get their kicks watching others scarf down wieners and buns), but it's NOT a sport.
An ESPN TV commentator covering the event had the gall to refer to it as the greatest moment in the history of American sports.
I would've said the Miracle on Ice, but what do I know? I'm not an athlete -- I can only eat about two hot dogs in one sitting.
