Kobayashi has announced he is OK and will participate in Nathans!

Fuggedaboutit!

I was listening to the local sports talk show this morning and they had the Pres of the IFOCE on talking about Kobayashi. He said Kobayashi had some wisdom teeth removed b/c they were giving him problems and they haven't healed as quickly as they should. The guy said Kobayashi was a game time decision but he thought Kobayashi would give it a go.

5dimes took down the prop and changed it to Chestnut -160, Field +130

I think his competitive spirit gets the better of him. He will at least give it a try. I just know it.

Awesomeness in effect:

Agree, Chestnut should be as good as a lock. I have had my wisdom teeth removed and the pain sucks, can't imagine he will be able to give it much of a run if he is still hurting from it.

Kobe 57 Joey 56 book it!

Dont miss it

'The 91st annual contest will be held July 4, 2007, and will be televised live on ESPN at 12 p.m. EDT. Six-time defending champion Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi will attempt to win his seventh straight despite suffering from reported jaw pain.' - Wiki

One shot of novocaine and he's good to go; and lose.

Thats what I'm thinking too. Shoot the man up with some pain killer and he will get it done.
