According to Kobayashi's blog: "My jaw refused to fight any more.'' The injury occurred only a week after the slender 29-year-old started training to win his seventh straight title at the annual July 4 Nathan's Famous hot dog eating event.
When I first read the title for this article, I immediately thought he might have blown out an intenstine or something, but I suppose a screwed up jaw is almost as fitting.
Update: ESPN did a great spot with their best color commentators lamenting Kobayashi's injury. John Kruk: "He's just afraid of Joey Chestnut." BWAHAHAHA
