In a world rife with injustice and poverty, eating contests are inherently despicable. Especially eating contests held in the United States, the greasy, bloated pig of nations. I’ve always given Philly’s Wingnbowl a pass though. Already aggressively pitiful, I thought that there was no way an eating contest could bring more shame to the urine soaked, mumbling, punch-drunk place.
…anyway, this guy sold cocaine.
El Wingador charged with cocaine distribution
Cocaine is a known hunger suppressant, but that didn’t stop ex-Wing Bowl champion William “El Wingador” Simmons from dealing it, according to New Jersey State Police.
Simmons, 50, of Woodbury Heights, was busted Friday and charged with 1st-degree drug distribution when police found approximately $8,000 worth of powdered cocaine and $4,000 in cash in his 2010 Kia Soul, cops said.
Nothing else of note was found in the car, which had a “El Wingador” vehicle wrap, said Lt. Stephen Jones.
“Wouldn’t you love some wings or sauce? But no, not that I know of,” Jones said.
Simmons, who has won five Wing Bowl titles, finished third in this year’s event after eating 250 wings. He finished second in 2011 after downing 254 wings, losing by one wing to Super Squibb.
