Proud day in America!

Can I say that today the being the Fourth Of July that I'm over the top of the Proud to be an American board? The reason?

The past year of American sports has been exceptional on the world stage. Last summer the Basketball team brought home the Gold in the Olympics in an extraordinary way. Michael Phelps brought home 8 gold medals from Beijing. The soccer team went the Conferderation Cup Final where no one thought we would go. Oh and by the way we were up two-nil going into halftime and almost won the whole thing.

But the thing that put me over the top today was seeing Joey Chestnut beat Kobayashi for the third straight year with a record 68 hot dogs. This contest is a great tradition that I watch ever year and wondered when Kobayashi would ever fall when he won six straight Nathan titles, but Mr. Chestnut has brought a new pride of competitive eating back to America and showed that America is still the Hot Dog capitol of the world.

Thank you Joey Chestnut. May you have a long and lustrious career and I pray that you never lose to Kobayashi again.
