Worth a second reading!

If they pulled their ads as soon as the protests escalated, and then instead bought spots on Rush and Hannity and got pressers out to announce their reasons for changing their ad buys, then their sales and stock prices would have soared, despite their lousy pizza.

Last year might have been the highwater mark for the cost of Super Bowl ads - $1M for a 15-second spot IIRC.

Wonder who will buy this time? And for how much?

I'm guessing the DNC or the Clinton Foundation, to attack Trump.

I for one don’t disagree. Cheap on the toppings, and the sauce blows.

Old news. Papa Johns pizza never was that good in the first place, they don’t need the NFL to take them down.

If you didn’t see it the opening to World Series Game 7 was awesome.

All players stood respectfully for the Anthem.
The Anthem was sung by an interracial quartet of COPS!!
The first pitch was caught by Rick Monday, who as a player gained fame for rescuing Old Glory from protesters who were trying to burn her.

If Goodell was watching he had to be throwing things at the screen.

Lol...yeh, “Pappa John’s, better pizza, better ingredients.”

Right. Like what, he uses better wheat, bell peppers, better cows, better olive trees, better tomatoes, better onions? Really?!

What the hell does “better ingredients” that even mean anyway? And what does it matter if you can’t even put those ingredients together to make a decent damned pizza.

Realistically it should be, “ Papa Johns, lousy pizza, lesser ingredients.”

This guy lives in like a 9000 square foot mansion over by Congressional Country Club here in DC.
