Super Squibb ready to defend his title at Wing Bowl 18

Jonathan Squibb, a skinny 23-year-old from Winslow Township, NJ, is the new Wing Bowl champion. Super Squibb tore through 203 wings, 23 more than second place finisher Not Rich, and 50 more than third place eaters Hank the Tank and Da Disposal, while chomping his way to glory and a brand new Mini Cooper, from Mini on the Main Line. Going into the competition, the Rutgers and Winslow Township High grad was ranked with 9 to 1 odds by 610 WIP’s Al Morganti, who created Wing Bowl. “Nobody believed in me but my family, but I knew I could do it,” said Squibb, who is “in career transition.” He plans to celebrate tonight with family and friends. What was his secret? “It’s more up here than down here,” he told us, pointing first to his brain, then his stomach. Squibb says he will absolutely return to defend his crown next year at Wing Bowl 18.

"He plans to celebrate tonight with family and friends." Yeah, if he can get off the commode...Hope them wings weren't too spicy.

I am sure that there will be a lot of self-righteous whining about the inpropriety of a display like this during an economic downturn etc and so on. Fact is that American History is full of these very type of exploits at far worse times than the current crisis . A few fat guys gorging on chicken wings is actually better for the public to see than a never ending bloated buffet of bad news , driving people into ever deepening pockets of dispair. So be thankful for the few hours of escape and thank God for the people that were employed making all of the products involved in the spectacle . The rest of you can go back to your endless handringing now.

950 AM is much better. They actually talk sports. Boy those wing girls look like they have led some very sad lives.

@abner Do you donate all uneaten food in your home to those starving Ethiopians? If not, get off your high horse.

Looks like the comment romoved fairy is back again. Freddie, I agree. They do mock themselves. I didn't see that many wings but I did see alot of breasts in the photos.

Hard to believe to this event is still a main stay in Philly entertainment. No wonder the rest of the country does not take us seriously. Oh wait! That's New Jersey...my bad! Wait isn't the winner from New Jersey??
