What Stations Are Doing: Winging It In Philly

It was a world record-breaking performance at the 20th annual WIP/Philadelphia "Wing Bowl" as Takeru Kobayashi -- who longtime Philly Sports reporter Joseph Santoliquito called "the competitive eating version of Babe Ruth, Michael Jordon, Wayne Gretzky and Joe Montana wrapped into one" -- wolfed down 337 hot chicken wings in 30 minutes in front of a sold out and "bizarre" crowd at Philly's Wells Fargo Center.

Kobayashi beat out three-time defending "Wing Bowl" champ Jonathan Squibb (who took second with a personal best of 271 wings), and five-time overall champ Bill "El Wingador" Simmons (who finished a distant third by downing 250).
