A shit ton of hot dogs they have eaten

I watched the Nathan’s hotdog eating contest this year, and I found three things the announcers said that really amused me:

1) when Kobeyashi threw up a few hot dogs at the very end, the announcers wouldn’t say throw up or puked, but called it a “reversal”- as in “he had a reversal of fortune.”

2) the announcer, completely straight faced (sounding), called the competition a dogfight.

3) the somewhat overzealous announcer said that when Joey Chestnut beat six time defending champ Kobeyashi by consuming a ridiculous 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes was “the greatest moment in American sports history.”
