I CALL BS, just last week some American beat his record adn suddenly he get this injury just 10 days before the Superbowl of competitive eating? just a lil too convenient, he running scared and denying the American his shot at a legit title shot. even if the American wins it will be less of a victory without him there

[El Cochino]

DAMN... I was REALLY looking forward to watching Kobiashi-san work his magic. Such a shame to see a true superstar have his career cut short.

Hot dog eating? A sport? You guys really need the NFL back.

He has shamed his ancestors. The only option at this point is seppuku.

To bad one of his biggest fans will not be there to witness his amazing comeback.

Japan's all-star speed eater suffers professional injury

...
But Japanese television began to shy away from such contests after a 14-year-old junior high school student choked to death in 2002 trying to imitate competitive eating during school lunch.

Now im not really saying this is a sport, but it has more of a place on espn than, say, poker. I remembering watching some insider type show on the preparation that Kobayashi went through to get into 'shape' to do this type of this and it was really amazing.

I'll give you that. Televised poker is ridiculous. I liked Dave Chappelle's "World Series Of Dice" better.
