Some additional notes...

Kobayashi is the veteran, and Chestnut is the future of the "sport"... Chestnut currently holds the hotdog eating record and Kobayashi has a sore jaw... Chestnut is favored at -145 and the over/under for the winner is 58 hot dogs... i'm going with the American in this one...

That "dance" is up there with the Ray Lewis pre-game specialty as the worst dance in sports history. Anyway, I hope he has a solid career in Chicago, but he has to be one of the worst players ever selected in the top 10 skill wise... He could barely hit a jump shot from anywhere outside of the paint... For those of you who still, somehow have not managed to see Noah's draft day hair style, look no further...
