Shoney's, the popular southern dining spot, wants to sweeten the team's offer and will give the free agent quarterback and former-University of Tennessee legend a free stack of the griddle cakes every day throughout his career in Nashville if he signs with the Titans, according to a press release and ad placed in the The Tennessean last week.
The sign reads: "Peyton, Sign here and Tennessee Would Really Be Stacked" in white letters with a picture of a stack of pancakes dripping with syrup and butter.
Below the pancakes, the ad says "Shoney's CEO wants to sweeten the deal. Sign with our hometown team and you'll receive FREE PANCAKES EVERY DAY throughout your career here in Nashville. Let's win. And Let's Eat."
If Manning does sign with the Titans, the offer would stand for any of the Nashville area Shoney's only. But with the Titans owner Bud Adams offering the sought after quarterback a $60 million contract, I don't think limiting the number of Shoney's where Manning could scarf down the wheat cakes covered in maple syrup would be a deal breaker.
A follow-up ad is being considered but the company had better hop to it. I hear a San Francisco restaurant chain is offering Manning a lifetime supply of sourdough bread if he signs with the 49ers.
