WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — We had a six-and-a-half hour car ride today, but by far, the most remarkable thing said came a few minutes ago inside the media dining room.

Deputy sports editor Adi Joseph made the trip instead of our regulars Mark Selig and Geremy Bass. His presence has already been felt.

After downing two monster-sized chili-cheese dogs, Adi proclaims, “I wish I hadn’t eaten lunch,” he said referring to the Wendy’s Baconator he ate around 1:30 p.m. “I would have had room for three, maybe four, of these.”

Yes, folks, we’re talking about one of these:

Thankfully for myself and photographer Adam Fried, it’s fast food the rest of the trip, and we don’t have to see Adi attempt to down four chili dogs.

And this came just 24 hours after our sports editor Jeff Amoros was spitting crackers everywhere trying to eat six Saltines in one minute. What is up with these sports editors? Boy, the position has certainly changed…
