Anybody who knows me knows that I am a huge sports fanatic so this weekend was a real treat for somebody like me (a guy who loves sports)! Let’s take a look back and see what this exciting weekend had to offer, sports wise!
Hundreds of spectators cheered as Takeru Kobayashi ate 337 chicken wings in a half hour (average 11.2 wings per minute), smashing the world record by 87 wings. When asked how he felt after the competition, Kobayashi, who was literally covered in wing sauce, said via translator “I can’t… Oh God… just, just give me a minute… Jesus Christ… I don’t… Oh God.”
Takeru Kobayashi promised to devour all that is made. The earth and the stars. All will be consumed by Kobayashi until there is nothing.
Alberto Contador was stripped of his 2010 Tour De France title after the sport’s highest court found him guilty of doping. Cycling fans are hailing him as the first cyclist to be in the news since Lance Armstrong.
Pakistan beat England 99 & 365 to 141 & 252, which I’m told somehow adds up to them winning by 72 runs. Literally taken directly from the original article, “Chasing 324 to win, on a wearing pitch with areas of rough, against a brace of classy spinners, would always prove the tallest of orders, and once again the England batsmen were to prove inadequate. Alastair Cook resisted for four hours, squeezing out 49 runs, and Matt Prior launched a jaunty counter-attack when the game was pretty much up making the same score, but unbeaten. There were even some runs, 31, for Eoin Morgan who, with a total of 82, emerged as the leading run scorer of an abject middle order. It was to no avail, however. Pakistan chipped away throughout the day, always in control and dismissed England for 252, defeat for them coming by 71.” England’s bowlers hurled some nasty gobs at the wickets but the Pakistani batsmen swept the tibblers off the toddy and gibbled the thislepuff. Once Pakistan’s seeker caught the snitch it was all over for England.
You think it'd be kind of like baseball but it's actually nothing like baseball.
I think I’ve really got a knack for sports reporting.
You made Cliff laugh out loud :).
Crap. That comment was supposed to be for your sports reporting blog. Oh well.
