I love competitive eating because it's a different way for me to challenge myself. I grew up playing sports, football, baseball, I swam, I played soccer, I did all these things, and I think just trying this after getting out of High School was when I stumbled upon it, thought this was cool and found out I was pretty decent at it. So I think it's awesome to eat as much as you can, eat more than the next guy, and win money at it. I mean its America.
