No that is not a picture of me after a big meal.
Sumo hit New York’s famed Madison Square Garden Saturday night. Somehow in all the sportying hype around the World Series and college football it must have barely missed live coverage on ESPN. Too bad. I mean when else can you watch 400 pound guys wearing oversized diapers try to pancake each other? Evidently the World Sumo Federation is hoping to broaden the appeal of the traditional Japenese sport to an American audience that increasingly identifies with fat people wearing too little clothing.
About 9000 people showed up for the event, and promoters are considering a national tour. I wonder what kind of spread they have to put up in the lockeroom for these guys anyway…
