    I was very concerned when i heard about Joeys broken foot. I am glad he was able to defend the title and his turf

    Hot dogs still in the mouth at the end of regulation count if they are subsequently swallowed.
    Yellow penalty cards can be issued for "messy eating,"
    and red penalty cards can be issued for "reversal of fortune", which results in disqualification.

    The dreaded reversal of fortune red card.

    I wonder if he could have eaten more than 63 had he not been attacked by that whacko, OR, did the attack happen b4 the contest??

    I can't imagine eating 4 or more hot dogs, 63 is just unthinkable. I don't even want to think about his experience(s) the next day or two? :(

    I'm probably in the minority here but I think it's totally disgusting.

    Apparently, there were many gambling bets on the outcome. This act changed the result, and many people are pissed to say the least.

    It's pretty difficult to top a Kardashian, you have to remember, Kim's butt has it's own zip code.

    Even that protesters jobless protester buddies have to be making fun of him.
    He's wearing a darth vader mask that is so small it barely covers his face, he's covering up
    the S in Smithfield so it looks like it says mithfield, he gets taken down quickly and efficiently
    by the most famous contestant.
    Even among professional protesters this fellow has to be considered a complete dufus.

    During the men's competition, a protestor came on stage and bumped into the champion. Chestnut then proved hot dogs and buns aren't the only things he can quickly put down as he put the protestor in a mini chokehold. A security guard went on to remove the protestor as Chestnut continued downing dogs.

    Chestnut won his seventh title in a row (as a -3000 favorite at FOX Bet) by consuming 63 hot dogs and buns but, because of the incident, fell well short of the pre-competition over/under line of 74.5.

    As a result, FanDuel refunded all wagers on the over/under, FanDuel spokesman Kevin Hennessy said.

    "We did feel that Mr. Chestnut might have been thrown off his game by the protestor, so we decided to refund all straight bets on over 74.5 hot dogs," Hennessy said Tuesday.

    "It was the most popular by far for our online customers in New Jersey, where it was No. 5 in terms of overall sports behind baseball, tennis (Wimbledon), basketball and soccer."
