Say It Ain't So..The Champ Can't Go...


Did THIS Pic Send The Champ's Jaw's Agape?


TOKYO — "A Japanese man who set a world record by wolfing down dozens of hot dogs within minutes has suffered a severe jaw injury due to his rigorous training, making his next title uncertain.

Takeru "Tsunami'' Kobayashi said he can only open his mouth to make a gap the size of a fingertip after being diagnosed with jaw arthritis.

In an entry on his blog entitled "Occupational hazard,'' Kobayashi said: "My jaw refused to fight any more.''

The injury occurred only a week after the slender 29-year-old started training to win his seventh straight title at the annual July 4 Nathan's Famous hot dog eating event at
New York's Coney Island.

When asked if his jaw displacement occurred after looking at a picture of a sans-makeup Rosie O'Donnell, the champ shrugged it off by saying that we all make mistakes but looking at Rosie in the natural was the most foolish one ever.
