A Guide To Wing Bowl 25

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Where else can you find a more eclectic bunch than at Wing Bowl? Some of this year's contestants have qualified by eating a four-pound jar of mayonaise, a 32-ounce Tomahawk Ribeye Long-Bone that was big enough to swat a baseball, and raw eggs with peanuts still shelled, just to name a few of the oddball stunts.
