You Are Not a Bigger Couch Potato Than This Guy

Think you spent a lot of time on the couch this past week? Think again. 47-year-old Conde Nast research librarian Stan Friedman held on to his title of “Ultimate Couch Potato,” after beating out four contenders in a competition at the Times Square ESPN Zone to see who could watch sports longest without falling asleep. Friedman clocked in at 18 hours, 48 minutes and 17 seconds.

Still, he didn’t even come close to 2008 Chicago winner Jeff Miller who won the competition after clocking in 40 hours and 30 minutes.
