Meet the other Bill Simmons, aka El Wingador, who's a competitive eating champion, including five times at the Philadelphia Wing Bowl. El Wingador prepares for competition by eating 15 pounds of food and drinking three gallons of water a day. He puts 100 Tootsie Rolls in his mouth, chews them into a baseball-sized ball, and then swallows it in one shot. He's eaten rawhide bones for dogs and once downed an entire 24-inch pizza in 19 minutes. The great doc*mentary filmmaker Errol Morris made a short film about El Wingador for the New York Times that is an absolute must-watch. It's below. By the way, he doesn't "do hot dogs." And may be a cannibal.
