PHOTOS: Kobayashi, 3 other eaters consume 40-pound goat to reverse Cubs curse
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.
One of the guys just ate a goat testicle and appears to be on the verge of throwing up.

After about 12 minutes, the goat was nothing but bones.
Kobayashi with the aftermath. 40 pounds if goat gone in about twelve minutes. That was...disgusting. pic.twitter.com/ACnMgScwxT
