The Konami Code? I had no idea Contra was synonymous with Konami. :P

It became the Konami code when Konami started using it in more games than just Contra. Actually it was first used in Gradius anyways. Contra is what popularized the code. Most Konami games utilize the code in some way.

 

Interesting.. I never knew that before.

 

Anyone have an answer to my second question? :P

 

Are there dedicated groups of fanboys who go around to every site and type in random popular gaming cheat codes?

If ESPN was behind this themselves, they probably helped leak it. If the site was somehow hacked, then I'm sure the hackers leaked it. Whoever did this obviously would want it to spread. I like your theory more though, because I would applaud that type of desperation out of a Konami code fanatic. Reminds me of the hatch/lottery/input numbers on Lost.
