Robert Leff signed a scholarship to play football for Auburn yesterday. Then he tried to eat a half-pound of fried crawfish tails, a half-pound of fried oysters, 16 fried shrimp, 8 conch fritters, 4 stuffed crabs, a cup of seafood gumbo and a serving of bread pudding, all within one hour. That’s 7½ pounds of weight-packing, Yoxall-pleasing seafood (Leff is only 6’7, 280).
The folks at the Compleat Angler in Daphne call it The Jubilee Challenge. Leff is the first person to ever attempt it. If you polish it off in the allotted time, it’s free. If you die, your family still owes them $99.
“At 50 minutes, I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it,” Leff told the Mobile Press-Register.
Leff is a Toomer’s-rolling Auburn fan from way back and apparently a student of jujitsu (same thing if you ask me). He plans to start summer workouts at Auburn in May. Look out, Fishizzles Fish N Skrimps!

At least he still has the distinction of being the first to attempt.
I hope he looked at every fried fish right before he ate it and said “you’re about to be ALL IN”
LOVE his tie!!!!
