LeBron James vs Papa Johns

Posted 5/3/2008 on SportFiends

I don’t know if this is some kind of new marketing idea for Papa Johns or what but apparently they don’t really like LeBron James too much, at least the Papa Johns in DC don’t. During the Wizards and Cavs game last night in DC, various fans could be seen wearing jerseys sporting #23 with the words “cry baby” written on them. Now in all fairness they ...

23 Cent Pizza Craz

Posted 5/9/2008 on SportFiends

Ok so by now everyone has heard about the whole Papa Johns vs LeBron James crybaby thing. When I originally posted the story I didn’t expect it to get as big as it did but it’s been a huge story. In an effort to not go out of business, Papa Johns is offering 23 cent pizza’s to Ohio residents to make up for insulting LeBron. The residents responded by coming out in ...

FirstCuts: Shirt Starts Papa Johns Boycott

Posted 5/5/2008 on The Sporting Blog

If I ever learned anything from 30 Rock , it is that people of the fair city want you to eat . One thing they will not be eating soon: Papa John's pizza. That shirt to the right directed at LeBron James, which popped up during Game 6 of the first-round series between the Cavs and Wizards, was the cause of what has become an unofficial boycott of Papa John's among people in Northeast Ohio ...

Papa Johns apologizes for cry baby shirts: Too little too late?

Posted 5/5/2008 on SportFiends

Over the weekend I reported that Papa Johns hates Lebron James . Well either they had a change of heart or they realized how much money they were going to lose but either way they’ve issued an apology for the shirts : To apologize, Papa John’s will sell Cleveland residents a large, one-topping pizza for 23 cents on Thursday. The 23 is an homage to James’ jersey number. ...

Bribed by Pizza, Ohio Forgives Papa John's

Posted 5/9/2008 on FanHouse

Every Papa John's franchise in Northeast Ohio sold one-topping pizzas for 23 cents yesterday to atone for the "crybaby" t-shirts given away in Washington last week. And as you'd expect, it was a complete cluster. From the Columbus Dispatch : The offer, intended to remedy a franchisee's insult to Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James (No. 23), resulted in closed stores, long lines and angry ...

CLEVELANDERS NOW CAN AFFORD PIZZA

Posted 5/5/2008 on With Leather

In case you missed the tedious controversy during the Wizards-Cavs series that didn't involve Jay-Z and Soulja Boy, Papa Johns stuck their logo on the white tees Wizards fans wore during Game 6 which bore the number 23 and the word "Crybaby" where Bron-Bron's name would be on the back. Many Ohioans stopped eating cheese off discarded pizza boxes long enough to get angry. To atone , ...

- BWI? - To me this is a clear indication that racism is still a major factor in the policing of our country. I've known a lot (and I mean AAAA LOOOTTTTT) of white people who take their boats out and get I-can't-feel-my-face wasted with little or no reprocussions. Suddenly Cedric Benson does it and he's the antichrist....(Somewhere Roger Clemens is doing HGH, molesting a 15 yr old country ...

So, what do I tip the driver?

Posted 5/5/2008 on Sons of Nev

We wrote about it. WFNY wrote about it. Others did too. All were skeptical that Papa Johns would have the stugots to do anything about it (you’ll have to forgive me, The Sopranos is on in the background). Well, turns out that not only did they apologize, they are essentially giving away pizzas. So, now I can only assume that all of us that said “who eats the Papa unless their ...
