Livvy Dunne's hilarious reaction to Joey Chestnut caught on camera during chicken finger-eating contest
Livvy Dunne was a picture of awe and dismay as she took on Joey Chestnut in an all-star chicken finger-eating contest on Friday.
The former LSU gymnast was one of a host of celebrities to descend on New York City for the opening day of Fanatics Fest.
Dunne, DJ Khaled, Fanatics founder Michael Rubin and Julian Edelman all took part in the eating challenge alongside the legendary Chestnut.
The 41-year-old holds dozens of eating records including the most hot dogs (76) in 10 minutes and the most chicken wings (182) in 30 minutes.
On Friday, he dominated a Raising Cane's contest, putting away 40 tenders in just five minutes. And Dunne's hilarious reaction to Chestnut was caught on camera.
In a clip that flooded social media, the gymnast was seen open-mouthed as Chestnut demolished the chicken.

The former LSU gymnast posed for a picture with the legendary Chestnut in New York City
At one point, Dunne appeared to retch as she struggled to keep the chicken down. She and Chestnut also posed for a picture to mark the occasion.
Earlier on Friday, the former LSU gymnast made a splash as she arrived at Fanatics Fest.
The 22-year-old was doused in Sprite as she turned up to the event's second instalment, which brings a host of celebrities and sports fans to New York City.
Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Stephen A. Smith, Jaxson Dart and Peyton Manning were also among the star-studded attendees on Friday.
But none had a more unfortunate start to their day than Dunne, who was filmed hugging a man after landing in New York.
He was holding a can of Sprite and, unfortunately for the former gymnast, the man let go of the drink while embracing Dunne.
After the can hit the floor, it sent the soft drink spraying in all directions - including over Dunne.

Chelsea facing 'Heat Health Emergency' with temperatures soaring to 39C in final Club World Cup group game as Philadelphia declares Code Red
Chelsea have been warned of the dangers of playing in scorching 39C heat on Tuesday night — with the city of Philadelphia declaring a 'Heat Health Emergency' ahead of the Londoners' next Club World Cup clash. Enzo Maresca 's side are using Philly as their training base and will face the Tunisian club ES Tunis in their final group game at the Philadelphia Eagles ' Lincoln Financial Field, when local temperatures in Pennsylvania 's largest city are forecast to soar. Juventus will face Wydad of Morocco at the same stadium at noon today, which is when Philadelphia's emergency will officially kick in. Among their instructions is a warning to 'avoid, as much as possible, working or playing in the hot sun or other hot areas'. FIFA told Mail Sport yesterday that their medical experts are contacting their counterparts at Club World Cup sides regarding the rising heat and humidity, and that their top priority is the safety of everyone involved. Maresca has had to adapt to the temperatures by limiting the minutes he hands to Chelsea players with histories of muscular issues, such as Reece James and Romeo Lavia. The squad were having a rest day yesterday, with the Blues trying to manage workloads. Whereas Chelsea's win over Los Angeles FC was held at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium — where the closed roof and big air-con units made it feel like football in a fridge — the Lincoln Financial Field is an open arena. Both venues will be used for the 2026 World Cup, and that will also take place at the height of summer in the United States. England manager Thomas Tuchel is currently in the US, and was in Miami on Friday to see Bayern Munich beat Boca Juniors 2-1, with Harry Kane scoring the opener. FA insiders say Tuchel is more concerned with visiting facilities and training bases than assessing how players cope with the scorching weather. Kane, speaking after Bayern's win, said England's players will benefit from getting an early taste of the climate. 'You have to be able to adapt,' he said. 'It's a great experience for me and some of the other England guys who are playing this year and who will be playing next summer. 'There's always something special about these World Cup games and next year will be the same. When you come off that pitch and you're dripping and you're cramping and you've given everything out there, there's a special feeling inside, especially when you win. 'We (the England players) are not in touch with each other right now but it's something we'll talk about at upcoming camps — how we adapted to it and what training methods we used. 'All of this is good experience because it's going to be tough next summer, without a doubt. And we must use our experiences as an advantage.' Kane and Tuchel will have noted that the South American sides dealt with the heat better than their European counterparts. Botafogo beat Paris Saint-Germain and Flamengo overcame Chelsea at this Club World Cup. The Lincoln Financial Field is an open arena and there is no air-con when temperatures hit 39C Flamengo manager and ex-Chelsea star Filipe Luis said his team are more used to the climate Kane said England's players will benefit from getting a taste of the heat before the World Cup Flamengo manager Filipe Luis, the former Chelsea left back, admitted that his players are more used to this climate. 'Sometimes, the weather, they're not used to this,' Luis said of European sides. 'But the South American clubs are very competitive and not always the best win the Copa Libertadores. There's different grass, altitudes, so we have a lot of adaptations and we are used to that.' The Philadelphia authorities have set up a 'Heatline' so those in need can phone for help, with cooling centres and home visits by special field teams. The Office of Homeless Services also declared a 'Code Red'. Locals are being encouraged to check in on loved ones. FIFA told Mail Sport: 'FIFA's top priority is the health of everyone involved in football, and FIFA's medical experts have been in regular contact with the clubs participating in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 to address heat management and acclimatisation. 'FIFA has also deployed medical officers who work closely with the local medical authorities to address key health matters, including heat management. 'As successfully applied at previous tournaments and as referenced in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Regulations, FIFA is implementing a sound preventative concept at all venues, including cooling breaks in the 30th and 75th minutes, in accordance with protocols.'

Red Sox pause RHP Kutter Crawford's rehab due to wrist concerns
June 21 - The Red Sox have pressed pause on the rehabilitation efforts of right-handed pitcher Kutter Crawford over concerns about a worsening wrist injury, Boston manager Alex Cora told reporters Saturday. Crawford hasn't pitched in a game this season as he's dealt with discomfort in the patellar tendon in his right knee, a situation that has plagued him since early last season, as well as an ongoing wrist injury. He threw two bullpen sessions this week in the hopes of moving on to a rehab assignment but will instead fly to Boston for further testing. "He started playing catch, he didn't feel great about it, so we're going to shut him down," Cora said. "We're going to fly him up to Boston to see where we're at. With the wrist, he wasn't able to generate velocity, so that's a concern and a concern for him, too. If he's trying to do something, then the shoulder comes into play." Crawford, 28, hit the ground running to begin the 2024 season with a 1-0 record and 0.66 ERA over his first five starts. He injured his knee while covering first base in a game against the Baltimore Orioles on April 10 of last season. Crawford finished the season with a 9-16 record and a 4.36 ERA while leading the league in starts (33), and the Red Sox in innings pitched (183 2/3) and strikeouts (175) but the knee issues bothered him ahead of the 2025 season and wrist issues soon followed. "He'll be in Boston in the upcoming days and we'll know more next week," Cora said Saturday. --Field Level Media

Commentator Chip Caray's shocking slip of the tongue during Pride night commercial goes viral
A baseball commentator suffered an unfortunate slip of the tongue at the worst possible time on Saturday. St. Louis Cardinals announcer Chip Caray was asked to read a Disability Pride promo during the fourth inning of their game against the Cincinnati Reds. But he accidentally mispronounced 'flag', turning the word into an unintentional homophobic slur. 'Disability Pride Night is July 10 and with a themed ticket fans take home a Cardinals cap featuring the Disability Pride f**', Caray said before correcting himself to say 'flag'. There was then a painful silence that lasted around 30 seconds after the mistake as the game continued in the background. Caray's colleague Brad Thompson finally broke the silence by commenting on a pitch that was called for a ball. Fans quickly flocked to social media to comment on the humiliating error and share their thoughts. One posted: 'Uh oh, thats a rough one lol'. Another commented: 'Loudest silence I've ever heard lol'. A third added: 'It was an obvious slip of the tongue just a simple apology and move on.' 'The silence after is the apology he's obviously mortified and probably has a thousand thoughts running in his head,' another viewer said. 'He should not be reprimanded. It was literally a slip of the tongue. I highly doubt Caray is running around using that word. People need to focus on real outrage.'
