The GOAT of competitive eating is coming to Michigan this weekend, and you have the chance to meet him and watch him compete.

The Pistons will be raising money for charity tonight with help from a competitive eater.

Meet Joey Chestnut. Joey recently ate 121 Twinkies in six minutes at the World Twinkie-Eating Championship in Mississippi. I can't imagine the sugar sickness you would feel after such a feat. Watch him in action after the jump.

The rules are simple – eat all the hotdogs you can, keep them down and do it within 10 minutes. Traditional sports enthusiasts may not place hot dog eating in the same ranks as football, baseball and boxing, but after watching this video, there is no possible way to deny that these fiends of the cylindrical meat circuit are true athletes.
