Nationwide, Papa John's Cut Ties with Blundering Peyton Manning

Nationwide and Papa John's terminated their endorsement deals with Peyton Manning today, joining a growing list of companies who have severed ties with the bumbling quarterback over the last week.

"In light of the recent less-than-stellar performances turned in by Mr. Manning, Nationwide has decided that his image no longer represents our company and whatever it does," Nationwide spokeswoman Marsha Bottoms remarked. "Nationwide is a competent, capable company upon which our customers can rely for their particular needs long into the future."

Echoing Nationwide's sentiments, Papa John's was quick to bench the floundering former star and apologize to their fans.

"Rest assured that Papa John's pizza will always be made from the finest quality ingredients and show up for gametime fresh, not old and stale," noted company Founder and President John Schnatter. "Our pizza is a touchdown every time, and if somehow we throw for thirty-five yards and four interceptions in a single half, you can expect your money back, no questions asked."

Marketing analyst Eduard Varsi praised the companies' quick action in cutting Manning, especially in light of the fallout surrounding former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle.

"Companies need to avoid backsplatter from their celebrity representatives these days more than ever," Varsi said. "Whether they're caught with child pornography or start drinking before their games and throw a hundred interceptions, you can't hesitate to pull the plug."
