Is this the pizza phase of Jerry Jones plan?
There are rumblings that the Cowboys owner is behind the CEO of Papa Johns calling out NFL leadership Wednesday, when John Schnatter blamed declining Papa Johns stock on the NFLs national anthem protests.
Pro Football Talk, in a juicy (saucy?) story, reported the whispers in league circles about whether Jones had put Schnatter up to the Roger Goodell hit job during the companys third-quarter earnings conference call.
Papa Johns has been the official pizza sponsor of the NFL since 2010 and has strong ties to the Cowboys, having been the official pizza sponsor of the team since 2004. Jones owns more than 100 Papa Johns franchises in Texas, according to D Magazine, and has appeared in a truly awful rap commercial for the chain.

(1,257 posts)Wow, what a mind.
In this age of "blame somebody else", it is all too believable.
The pizza sucks, and John Schnatter is a greedy asshole, so blame some concerned citizens!
tRumpism in action.
I am surprised that PJ's doesn't sell a White pizza called the "Nationalist", or maybe the "Fascistzza"!

(1,257 posts)Dominoes is really bad, personally, for major chains, I prefer Pizza Hut, but have not ordered one in many many years.
Used to love the "Priazzo", which was fairly short lived.
I am very picky about pizza, spouse is 2nd Gen Italian as well.
Generally we make our own, but for delivery, we have a fabulous local place called "Master Pizza", and we live about a mile from Little Italy here in Cleveland.
Master Pizza has won numerous awards.

(13,340 posts)My favorite pizza is a local sit-down joint.
But I don't hate PPJ's pizza.
I do, however, hate Schnatter, the selfish, ignorant prick.
