No other way to reverse the "Billy Goat Curse" than to eat an entire goat, right?
The Chicago Cubs were hit with a curse 70 years ago that has apparently kept them from a World Series title.
Takeru Kobayashi - six-time Nathan's Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest - took it upon himself to attempt to lift the curse. Joined by competitive eater L.A. Beast, and two other men, the foursome ate a 40-pound cooked goat in a solidarity sitting.
Everything was consumed.
After about 12 minutes, the goat was nothing but bones.
Good luck Cubs, you've got a chance!
