1	ESPN always feels the need to compare everyone to everything. So far on Sportscenter, Kobayashi has been compared to Willis Reed, T.O, and Curt Schilling. The lone woman in the competition has been compared to a horse.

0	And Chestnut breaks the Coney Island record! Kobayashi pulls within 1! 2 minutes to go! The stomach of the girl behind Kobayashi is distracting, in a very good way.
