Man beats world hot dog eating record A California man smashed the world record for hot dog eating at a contest Saturday, gobbling up more than 59 franks in 12 minutes.

I just wish "bicycle eating" was still a Guinness quest. I'd love to hear Chris Berman's "amusing" commentary and nicknames.

Hall of Famer denies holding racist views on players Hall of Famer Bob Feller said "I'm anything but a racist," in an interview with the Des Moines Register . Lets see what you think ..."A lot of these players coming from the Caribbean, they don't even know the rules." 'Well, they don't know the ground rules and they don't know some of the fundamentals, but they're learning them.' I've been hearing this guy all my life sounding off like he was THE best pitcher ever and everyone else is subservient to him. Great yes , best ever ? Debatable but unlikely .

Here's a copy of the email I sent to Claiborne, after hearing his interview and listening to a bit of KFNS stream. (I'm just getting over steaming about the firing of one of my local talkers, Larry Krueger).... Never heard of you before the Feller debacle. Wish it was still that way. Guess I'm spoiled on good sportstalk, because, in my humble 54 year old opinion, you are fairly devoid of talent, though, in your business, a big fat, fast mouth combined with a vacuous brainpan can add up to an hour show on FOXSports. Thank God I cut my teeth on WIP Philly and KNBR San Francisco. My heart goes out to the great fans of St Louis who are stuck with you and your bush league station. "He shoulda slud!" Dizzy Dean

I'm very liberal and I think PC is a direct affront to the first amendment. The easiest way to find out if a person is racist, ignorant, feebleminded, or whatever, is to let them speak and let them be heard. You shouldnt go to jail for what you say, but you may damn sure lose your job for it. Losing the job is distasteful, but constitutional. "He shoulda slud!" Dizzy Dean

I really dont know if it's racism; I tend to think its the ignorance of an old man from another era. Offensive...yes; racist...I dont think so. "He shoulda slud!" Dizzy Dean

Well, as of last night, I guess the discussion of should he or shouldn't he is moot. The ax sure came down. Krueger screwed up, but Agnew and Rhein were just putting on a morning show, which frequently is comedy-laden and offends by definition, eg. John London, Not Just Sports Show. This has gotten out of hand and I feel the clammy hand of political correctness grabbing up the situation. These guys are pros and everybody screws up once in a while. Shove them in the doghouse and let them out after a while. This was a gross overreaction. "He shoulda slud!" Dizzy Dean

RIP Shooter. I'm keeping a good thought for his family. The BayArea will remember a tough competitor.
