Ok no Super Bowl for us again, but we still have the Wing Bowl. This year it's Wing Bowl XII and the reigning champ El Wingador (Bill Simmons) has some very interesting competition. Sonya Thomas aka Black Widow is entering the competition for the first time. She is 5ft 5in, 99 Lbs, her competitor El Wingador is 318lbs. They will not be the only ones in the Wing Bowl but Sonya will most likely be the smallest. The Philadelphia Inquirer did a story about her which also gives information about other speed eating competitions. There are competitions throughout the year for eating such yummy treats as Jalapeno peppers and pickled Quail eggs. There is even a group for this "sport"; The International Federation of Competitive Eating. Everyone has their gift as they say.
