Kings Stay Kings: Joey Chestnut Demolished Over 100 Mini Doughnuts During Halftime Of An NLL Game

First and foremost, I have to hand it to the Saskatchewan Rush. This team knows how to put on a show during halftime. This past weekend it was Joey Jaws dummying a tub of mini doughnuts. A few weeks ago it was the Chin Balancer tossing a Weber grill up on his chin. 

The organization has an eye for superstar talent, and they acquire the shit out of it. 

Second and secondmost, this is how you know that Joey Chestnut is a true champion. Good eaters will simply eat down to their competition. The Rush had to find 3 other suckers to at least attempt to act as competition for Joey Jaws during this contest. I can't imagine any of them got through 10 doughnuts by the time JC got through 100. These fuckers were just enjoying a little leisurely snack paid for by the team. 

But Joey Chestnut doesn't give a shit who is in the arena with him. He doesn't care that he probably only needed to suck back 20 of those things in order to win the contest. He is going to go all out every time he has the opportunity to compete. Because that's what champions do. It's not Joey Chestnut vs anybody else. It's always going to be Joey Chestnut vs Joey Chestnut. Can he better a better version today than the version of himself he was yesterday. Can he become an even better version of himself tomorrow. It's all about getting 1% better every day, and you don't get that mentality by worrying about anybody else besides yourself. 

I just wish the Saskatchewan Rush had the courtesy to hook our guy up with a goalie cut jersey. That sweater was a little tight to begin with, but I can't even imagine how tight it must have felt after eating an entire Tim Horton's worth of Timbits. Jaws deserves a little mobility out there. 

Only 149 days until July 4th. Time to start locking it in.
