The annual Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest takes place at noon on the 4th of July. That is the way that God intended it when he descended from Mount Olympus and said, “Hey, Joey Chestnut, you are America. Eat up.” For some reason, ESPN will not be broadcasting the Hot Dog Eating Contest live as they have traditionally – and rightfully – done in the past.

Instead, ESPN and ESPN2 will show an international tennis tournament while you will have to go online in order to watch the Hot Dog Eating Contest live on ESPN3.com. The contest will be shown on on television on tape-delay at 3pm? Why? Because of something called “Wimbledon.” You know where that takes place? England. Anyone here remember what we’re celebrating on Independence Day? Anyone? I believe we’re celebrating our independence from ENGLAND. Does anyone else here have an issue with the greatest American sporting tradition being preempted on the holiday that celebrates our independence from England in favor of a tennis tournament in England?

LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:16 PM) It worked Conhy, lol.
BenJarvus Gr...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:17 PM) did you enjoy that sweep by the A's, John? :smug:
Bay  : (20 May 2013 - 08:17 PM) i didnt know down 2 runs was getting killed :shifty:
Conshy  : (20 May 2013 - 08:17 PM) LionsFan317, are you ok? :(
Conshy  : (20 May 2013 - 08:17 PM) Do you hear voices in your head?
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:17 PM) No, Phil. I hated it. :shifty:
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:17 PM) It is when your offense is anemic.
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:17 PM) http://img.gawkerass...pg/k-bigpic.jpg
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:18 PM) The guy's shirt made me laugh, not the headline...I swear
Bay  : (20 May 2013 - 08:18 PM) you scored 4 tuns lmfao. you people piss me off :rofl:
BenJarvus Gr...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:18 PM) lawl
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:18 PM) Spelling your name wrong on purpose because it aggravates u enough to keep pointing it out so I tought I'd just keep doing it anyway.
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:18 PM) Migeul Tajada has to provide us with runs. It's sad, really.
RANGA+  : (20 May 2013 - 08:18 PM) hahha trident
Bay  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) lolGuthrie :smug:
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) *thought*
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) Dude, we gave up a total of 8 runs in 3 games and didn't win one of them. That's pretty sad.
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) Get home to see the Braves up 5-0 :rock:
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) We good
Sarge+  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) lmao that shirt
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) You know I love them Royals, but they're pissing me off as of late.
dutchff7  : (20 May 2013 - 08:19 PM) It may very well be Matt Barkleys team. TBH, i dont have a clue who's team it is. Won't know til they hit the field. No preconceived notions over here.
Bay  : (20 May 2013 - 08:20 PM) Heh
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:20 PM) Exactly unproven rebuilding stage for the Eagles this year.
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:20 PM) Then, yes, our offense finally shows up and Guthrie has his worst game of the season. It makes me grumpy.
Bay  : (20 May 2013 - 08:20 PM) Nah 5-0, Braves blow
Bay  : (20 May 2013 - 08:21 PM) not good enough :smug:
dutchff7  : (20 May 2013 - 08:21 PM) At least when you're rebuilding you don't have any expectations. What are the Lions right now? oh yeah, just bad
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:23 PM) Made the playoffs in 2011 with a 5000 yd Pasing QB and only ws out of the race due to injuries and many close games lost of under 7point deficit's and the loss of J. Best but far from bad!
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:24 PM) LET'S GO BILLY
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:24 PM) Bay, what Royals do you have on your fantasy team this year? Gordon?
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:24 PM) Butler?
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:24 PM) <---- Guthrie :shifty:
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:25 PM) Ouch Trident. He's been money though most of the season so far. Just not today
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:26 PM) in 2012 Te Lions had like 5 losses of 3 points or less meanaing they were in almost every game they played till the end and faied to finish enough of em is all but they are on the rise like all the pro analysts agree.
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:26 PM) Braves broadcast says Dr. James Andrews does 50 Tommy John surgeries in a week
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:26 PM) Holy shitballs
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:27 PM) Dude must be millionaire!
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:27 PM) Who are the guys having all these?
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:27 PM) It's not 50 big leaguers a week
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:27 PM) That surgery can't be chea1
LionsFan317  : (20 May 2013 - 08:27 PM) cheap though
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:27 PM) Let's go SALVY
Sarge+  : (20 May 2013 - 08:28 PM) Dude's probably worth 20 mil if not more. He's making more and more each year that's for sure.
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:28 PM) :wub: Julio Teheran
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:29 PM) This is the pitcher we've been waiting for since he signed
B-isforBowe  : (20 May 2013 - 08:29 PM) He's the Joe Flacco of Tommy John surgery.
Sarge+  : (20 May 2013 - 08:30 PM) Don't insult Dr. Andrews that way!
Sarge+  : (20 May 2013 - 08:31 PM) :p
Tridentdawgp...  : (20 May 2013 - 08:32 PM) Dude could wake up tomorrow and decide "You know what? Fuck it, I'm not doing these anymore" and be more than set
