Reverse the Curse: Kobayashi ate a goat to help the Cubs

When Joe Maddon is trying to plan his next pregame entertainment for the Cubs, maybe he should dial Kobayashi's number.

Takeru Kobayashi, the famous competitive eater, ate a goat to help the Cubs reverse the Curse of the Billy Goat Tuesday night.

Kobayashi teamed up with Taco In A Bag in Lincoln Square to eat a 40-pound cooked goat in one sitting.

First of all, hats off to Kobayashi. I feel like I've been hungry enough to eat a 40-pound goat, but would probably get like 1, maybe 1-and-a-half pounds into it before passing out into a food coma.

Forget about blowing up Bartman baseballs or allowing goats back into Wrigley Field. Clearly the best way to reverse a century-long curse is to just eat a damn goat.

Maybe this really is the Cubs' year, you guys.
