I sort of wish they had fought this. Now I don't have any reason to buy anymore PJ Pizzas, because "they caved".

U of L just took PJ's name off the football stadium. I've been a fan since Wesly Unseld was a freshman but I'm done with UofL now. Go IU!

He used the word within context, during a conference call with a marketing agency. Conference calls in my experience always require you to mind your P's & Q's, you never know who's listening on the other end. Marketing firms are inherently sensitive to public perceptions, I don't like their business but, it's necessary; they're the kid in high school, who was friends with everyone, had to have everybody's signature in their yearbook and participated in everything. There's a lot of self-esteem problems in that industry.

Schnatter was already in the cross-hairs of SJW's with his comments about the national anthem/NFL, I don't like this entire episode. This firm Laundry Service is owned by Casey Wasserman, who's one of the biggest sports agents and a major player in entertainment media. He sits on the board of a number of high profile entertainment brands, very well connected in the LA media scene and was also a major Hillary Clinton supporter in '16, even hosting a fund-raiser. This firm likely recorded the call, and played it to all their friends in the news and media circuit, then threw him (Schnatter) under the bus and let the mob 'help-out'. If you're an executive with a public profile, any complaining you do needs to be to your legal council, not to some outside contractors. Meanwhile, don't do business with Laundry Service.

Schnatter talked with local afternoon drive-time radio DJ about this controversy and fairly well states that he was set-up by this agency and what is said above. Further comments are made about other aspects of the various UofL Athletics problems (Pitino and Jurich). Twenty-eight and one-half minute radio interview at this link.

Maybe it's his way of saying that the guy deserves to be treated that way by the Twatter lynch mob. But, as stated above, we still have no idea why he's a giant asshole.

UK is too hard to keep up with the one and dones.

Indiana is on the cusp of regaining former glory and Romeo Langford is going to be fun to watch.

Go IU!

No pizza until they publicly DEMAND him back.

Friday night used to be pizza night here.

Maybe they can get Herman Cain in to fix them like he fixed Godfathers.

Sometimes in business you have to be an "asshole" to get things done.
Keep in mind this is usually the perspective of those not getting "their way" in the transaction.

When I first read about this, that was my thought as well. This seemed like a setup. That media company should be ostracized for this. They basically knifed a paying client.
