By Trey Kerby<http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie;_ylt=As9WyhyXrT.GLvudKbdgb1DYrYZ4?author=Trey+Kerby> One of the ways you know you've really "made it" in life is when you have a sandwich named after you. There's the Stephen Strasburger<http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AhclhJ1SSu0P2wGi4LYlBOTYrYZ4/SIG=12ppg5ir3/**http%3A//misterirrelevant.com/index.php/2010/06/13/mom-and-dad-review-the-strasburger/>, the Scott Baio<http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=An_F34ZCvuJ.iVNFWkvnpIDYrYZ4/SIG=13rsam7nq/**http%3A//newyork.grubstreet.com/2010/05/the_101_best_sandwiches_in_new.html%3Fimw=Y%26amp;f=most-viewed-24h10%23photo=75>and all the wonderful celebrity-themed encased meats<http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=An4B7LYJDKwgAkNAD55qSRPYrYZ4/SIG=115hlh15e/**http%3A//www.hotdougs.com/menu.htm>available at Hot Doug's, just to name a few. There is truly no greater honor than having your own sandwich, and that is something we should all be so lucky to experience. So, it should come as no surprise that LeBron James<http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3704/;_ylt=Ao1vmVfpNTUcOAKnpSN1EcfYrYZ4> (notes)<http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3704/news;_ylt=ArbCmu0OdahNEH8FBtZTTTfYrYZ4> has a sandwich named after him<http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Ar9Nx96x8O43AWuz57zh0T7YrYZ4/SIG=11f8pj590/**http%3A//nymag.com/news/sports/lebron/65922/>. He's hugely famous, he's marketable and the world could always use another delicious sandwich. Well, the Carnegie Deli — one of New York's legendary sandwich shops — made the "LeBron MVP," a five pound hunk of turkey, pastrami, corned beef, brisket, cheese, lettuce and tomato on rye that goes for $19.95. Finally, some guy ate the whole thing, which is really more of a pyramid of meat than an actual sandwich. From the New York Daily News' Jake Pearson<http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AnyqJXrsj7_3A.RYEOGtvkDYrYZ4/SIG=1a105nc38/**http%3A//www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/06/30/2010-06-30_fan_gobbles_up_huge_carnegie_lebron_sandwich.html%3Fr=sports%252Fbasketball%26amp;utm_source=feedburner%26amp;utm_medium=feed%26amp;utm_campaign=Feed%253A%2Bnydnrss%252Fsports%252Fbasketball%2B%2528Sports%252FBasketball%2529%26amp;utm_content=Google%2BReader> : Life-long Knicks fan Brian Seiken became the first person to chow down an entire 5-pound Carnegie Deli sandwich named in honor of No. 23. "LeBron I did this for you, now do the right thing and sign with the Knicks," the 50-year-old Midwood postal carrier said of the NBA MVP, who is set to be a free agent tomorrow. [...] It took Seiken 36 minutes and 33 seconds to finish the $19.95 gut-buster on Sunday. Congratulations? I'm not really sure what to say here. Seiken was the first of almost 200 people to finish this monstrosity, so it's a pretty impressive accomplishment. But it's also more than a little gross-a-rossa, don't you think? People shouldn't eat five-pound sandwiches. Heck, people probably shouldn't even sell five-pound sandwiches just in case someone eats one and accidentally explodes their stomach. I kind of want to vomit just looking at the picture of the sandwich. But to the victor goes the spoils. Since Seiken was able to complete this monumental task, he was offered a very special treat — a second sandwich, for free. Thankfully, he declined or else we'd be talking about the world's first death via free agency sandwich. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gimik" group.
