Well, running back Ashley Owens was recently traded to one of the new expansion teams: the New York Silverbacks. This means two things. Firstly, Owens is no longer just a great player on a great team, he’s once again a star of the young up and coming football team. And secondly, as a result... as a new star in a new BIG market, new endorsement deals! Ashley was contacted by several companies shortly after being traded eager to get him on their billboards around Manhattan. Ultimately, there were too many offers to take all of them... but one that Owens jumped on immediately was... a local pizza chain! And importantly... a local chain, started by a fellow transplant from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin! The pizza chain will have Owens featured in ads simply sitting at the table outside the restaurant, chillin, eating pizza. The ads will appear across a timeline, each ad being another 30 second segment of the roughly hour long video of Owens eating pizza. Roughly every 5 minutes, Owens will say something along the lines of “dang, this is good pizza.” This wasn’t in the script, Owens is just doing it. He’ll also be occasionally showing up at the restaurant, at random times, thus drawing in more customers! This also wasn’t part of the deal, he just genuinely likes the pizza a lot.
