Speed-eater says his "jaw has abandoned the frontline."

You can't eat 60 hot dogs in 12 minutes with an arthritic jaw.

A new category of sports injury.

# 56 म्हणाले...: The injury is a red herring. Joey Chesnut would have cleaned his clock, brought the Championship back to the Red, White, and Blue. Kobayashi chose the cowards exit.; २८/६/०७, ७:२६ PM
# 56 म्हणाले...: Joey Chestnut questions the timing: "Chestnut said his rival's sore jaw is "a strange coincidence, now that he's the underdog."

Chesnut recently broke Kobayashi's world record by downing 59.5 hot dogs in 12 minutes earlier this month in Phoenix.

If he wins Nathan's hot dog eating contest in Coney Island on July 4, he'll be the first American champion eater since 1996."
