NEW YORK - A Manhattan librarian emerged as a champion couch potato after three rivals gave in to sleep deprivation or nature's call.

Stan Friedman won the ESPN Zone Ultimate Couch Potato Campetition. The event ended Wednesday afternoon after more than 29 grueling hours of continuous sports viewing.

The four participants could order unlimited food and drinks, but they weren't allowed to go to sleep or leave their recliners except for restroom breaks once every eight hours.

Friedman, a research librarian, won a $5,000 prize package including a huge TV, a recliner and a trophy with a potato on it.
