31. Tennesse paid a hefty price for his sexual harrasment
Thu Nov 2, 2017, 08:44 AM
Nov 2017

He dropped his pants and pushed his genitals in her face while she was tending to an injury. She reported it and it was excused as boys will be boys and covered up. She took the case to court and won. There was a gag order in place and if Manning himself honored that, no one would know about this. He wrote a very sanitized version about this in his book and blamed her. His defense was he was just mooning a teammate. The one teammate who told the truth lost any hope of a NFL career. A year later he was the #1 draft pick. Tennesse was later sued for covering up atheletes sexual assaults and rape. This case became part of the evidence.

First, give the driver $20 tip because Papa pays him buttkiss.

Heat the oven to 400 deg-F. Put the pizza, still in the cardboard box, into the oven and reduce the temp to 375 deg-F. After 15 minutes, remove the box with the pizza and place on the top of the stove. (Note: remove earlier if box begins to burn.) Wait 10 minutes, and then remove the pizza from the box.

Throw the pizza in the garbage can and eat the box. Especially good with cheap, commodity beer.

I don't eat meat or any dairy, but know folks who do, and no one I know eats Papa John's pizza.

"Hideous crust and using FAKE cheese" was a deal-breaker they tell me

If he spent a little time making a better pizza… perhaps people would buy it. It's really bad.

Though he's closed that door for me with his views.

Ever since Schnatter had Dick Cheney here at his mansion. We could smell the stench all over the city for days. Children and small animals got sick by the hundreds.

He should merge with Hobby Lobby. More cardboard and pizza!

We've got plenty of great pie houses here, too. Screw him and his pizza.

they disappoint me, once. I don't complain when they continually disappoint because I do not want them to improve, but to drive away customers. Papa John should get out of the pizza business and get a job with local government. Perhaps, removing road kill.

chewy sausage that looked like tiny cat turds from the pan, and I do not know if those were actually pineapple pieces. I was at an end of season party for the tax company I did waving for. Oh yeah, the smell of the olives was to strong. I do not like olives but I mean the smell of them were to strong....kind of like they poured the water from the cans of olives on the pizza.

The worst about Papa John's is that the idiots put the toppings UNDER the cheese. Just what someone who can't eat meat with nitrates wants when their boss orders a meat lover's pizza. The inability to pick off the toppings.

The only way you knew what it was is either if someone knew and told you or you find out what it is when you bite into what you thought was a cheese pizza.

Mr. Schnatter has made waves about the health-care reform before. Over the summer, he said that the Affordable Healthcare Act would result in a 10- to 14-cent increase per pizza. "I got in a bunch of trouble for this," he told the students last week, according to Naples News. "That's what you do, is you pass on costs. Unfortunately, I don't think people know that they're going to pay for this."

40. Mom and Pop Pizza both in NY and Florida
Thu Nov 2, 2017, 11:29 AM

We started going to one in Queens as Newlyweds 43 years ago. Owners retired and their children took it over. Today their children are retired and the grandkids are running it now. Still tastes the same as 43 years ago. The Grandparents were originally from Italy.

Naples, Florida. Again a small Mom and Pop business. They lived in the community and their special needs son went to the neighborhood public school. I worked with their son in school. I always asked Mom, the Waitress, how Joey was doing. A few times he came in to help out cleaning and setting up tables. A lot of the local people went there and the owners got to know their names. Not close to NY Pizza, BUT it definitely was better than any chain pizza, plus by patronizing your local Mom and Pops, you are supporting your local community too.

Chain Pizza is gross. All of them. I am of Italian heritage and have made pizza from scratch for my husband's former employer's luncheons. I will make pizza myself before I ever darken the doorway of a Poppa John's.
