Halloween sports

Was browsing through the internet when I came across this compilation of the Ten Most Feared People in the world of sport by FoxSports http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/5013876?GT1=7127

The number one on the list came as no surprise.It just had to be..Tyson!Like how the author of the article says..who would take even a million bucks to be in a ring with him after knowing what his favorite snack on the ring was?Inzy came third although I was under the impression Shoab Akhtar deserved it better but what the hell do I know about cricket!It was also quite interesting to see a woman (Jeanette Lee aka the Black widow), a pool player strike terror , or rather devour her opponents in her game

But the one player I adore and equally hate at the same time is a competitive eater,Takeru Kobayashi who has a record of eating 59 hot dogs in merely 12 minutes!!And guess what he weighs.. a paltry 131 pounds.Holy cow! I had always been jealous of Jughead Jones of Archies comics for being skinny inspite of a voracious apetite but was under the consolation that he was just a comic character and here he is, the too good to believe personality all alive and in flesh and blood.Drat...this is sooooooo not fair.So where does all the food he devours head towards??? Beats me!
