Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

We're #1! We're #1!

Hopefully everybody's off having a great 4th of July.  Nothing says Happy 4th of July like the annual Nathan's hot dog eating contest on Coney Island.  Actual quote: "It's July 4 and we're in the epicenter of patriotism here at Coney Island" (of course also heard: "The passion is raw, but the hot dogs are cooked!").

Anyways, congratulations are in order for the Bay Area's own Joey Chestnut, a resident of San Jose.  Chestnut defended his crown, defeating Takeru "The Tsunami" Kobayashi in a tiebreaker.  After 10 minutes they were tied at 59 hot dogs, so they had a run off where the fastest to eat 5 hot dogs was the winner.  Chestnut won this first ever tie-breaker to bring glory and honor to America.

Enjoy a safe 4th of July and we'll see you later this weekend.

That would be a ridiculous feat of science to even have a 10,000 mph regular jet that was regular faster than the speed of light (which is 670,616,629 mph).

I heard that somewhere but can’t remember where, but saw it somewhere on the internet. Yes it’s a ridiculous feat of science but USA is prepared to make it the newest pet project.

More details

I just remembered more details..one way they will make a jet go that fast (10,000 mph) is to fill it with fuel that explodes. I am still fuzzy with the details on whether it is 10,000 mph or faster than the speed of light. But one thing is certain: When it flies and reaches the estimated speed, the fuel explodes giving it a thrust to reach speeds we never thought could be possible.

Scientifically speaking, to reach the speed of light you have to expend an infinite amount of energy. Which isn’t even remotely possible.

I heard

Vernon Davis can milk Martz at the speed of light because his teats explode.

That was really not a visual I needed.
