I had a Kobe Beef in a blanket recently where the blanket was covered in all the everything bagel toppings. It came with a spicy cheese dipping sauce too. It was really good, but the whole time I thought it was a waste of high quality beef to just put it in a hot dog

I thought you made hot dogs with all the garbage parts of a cow or whatever animal it was made from and not from the stuff that is usually 'meat'.

More expensive hot dogs also are like half the calories of the ones loaded with junk.

Also turkey dogs have come a long, long way and taste delicious.

Hot dogs usually really aren't that great by themselves so I see nothing wrong with just loading them up with a bunch of stuff.

Reminds of the Simpsons episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian and imagines what hot dogs are made of.

Aren't they all made with intestines and shit though?

Also never liked Turkey hot dogs.

A lot of that is an urban legend. Many of your fancier sausages do use intestines as the casing though.

The "lips and assholes" are typically used in stuff like dog food or agricultural products more than anything. Hot dogs are probabaly more likely to be made from mechanically separated meat slurry. This is made via the "bone cannon" (this is what my coworkers called it) where small slivers of left over meat is stripped off of bone. Hot dog meat is also likely the left over trimmings from the more quality cuts but aren't necessarily good for ground pork, beef, or poultry.

Every part of the animal gets used but there are a few tiers below "hot dogs" that need to use all the leftover parts. Pigs feet, ears, bladders, large intestines, and other random parts have very specific commercial uses for instance.

Industrialized meat processing has come a long way in even the last 20-30 years. The latest rage continues to be shoving as much cheap poultry into everything that they can (with the added benefit of dropping caloric content across the board).

Participants in arm wrestling event in Vegas could face NFL fines

The NFL is looking into an arm wrestling contest at the MGM Grand casino in Las Vegas that reportedly featured more than 30 current and former players, including Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison and retired running back Marshawn Lynch.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told ESPN on Sunday that the league just became aware of The Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship and will be looking into it further.

Participating players could be in violation of the league's gambling policy and may face fines. League personnel are prohibited from making promotional appearances at casinos or other gambling-related establishments.

"Had we been asked in advance if this was acceptable, we would have indicated that it was in direct violation of the gambling policy," Joe Lockhart, NFL vice president of communications, told USA Today Sports, which first reported the league's concern over the event. "No one sought pre-approval."

The contest, which took place April 5-9, is scheduled to be broadcast on CBS on May 27-28, with the championship round shown on June 3.

A portion of the prize purses for both individual and team competitions will be donated to charities of the player's choice, according to the event's website. ESPN has reached out to event organizers for comment.

In addition to Harrison and Lynch, Miami Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills, San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman and Oakland Raiders punter Marquette King were reportedly among the players who participated in the contest.

The arm wrestling contest is the latest test of the NFL's gambling policy, which has been in the spotlight recently with the Raiders' approved relocation to Las Vegas. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the Raiders' relocation would not affect the league's gambling policies.

The league has been consistent in regard to events held at Las Vegas casinos. In 2015, a fantasy football convention featuring NFL players, including now-retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, was scheduled to be held at a Las Vegas convention center connected to the Venetian. In that case, the NFL warned participants that they could be in violation of the league's gambling policy and face potential fines. After the event was eventually canceled, organizers sued the NFL, but the case was later dismissed.

The NFL really is such a backwards ass bullshit league.

If you had to fight to the death and were given the choice, which would you choose: Fight James Harrison but you get a baseball bat, or fight Roberto Aguayo but he gets a baseball bat?

You have to look pretty hard to find a picture of James Harrison smiling. I wouldn't wanna fight that guy if I had a gun

Couple of community college kids were throwing the ball around my neighborhood and I asked if I could join. Man my footwork was so good, Walsh would be proud.

60/40 weight distribution, driving off my back foot, perfect rotation of the hips, over the top release and proper follow through so my index finger hits opposite front pocket. I was throwing dimes. If only there was an offense that was built around route concepts 5 yards from the LOS. I am calling my local CFL team for a tryout.

I'm liking the trend of Reuben Foster falling to 14 in recent mocks. Also warming up to the idea on taking Conley depending how the draft shakes out

Don't fuck this up Floy

Garrett on why he should go #1 said:
All right, imagine I'm Hue at that dinner. My franchise hasn't had a good quarterback since Bernie Kosar. Why should I take you first overall?

Because I'll be a difference maker from day one. And I'm not gonna be in any trouble. I'm just gonna make plays and bring a good atmosphere to your organization. And I'm gonna start winning and winning now. And because if you don't draft me No. 1, I will punish your team for the next 10 to 12 years. I'll knock your QB out of the game every time we play you, and I'll have to kick the hell out of No. 1, whoever it is.
