Peyton Manning is a funny, charismatic guy, so you can only imagine the huge grin he must have had on his face while telling this story.
Manning is extremely intelligent, so it was no coincidence that he decided to open 21 Papa John’s franchises in the Denver area around the same time Colorado passed a law legalizing marijuana.
Manning told Peter King of TheMMQB that “the legalization weed has been great for his pizza business.”
I’ve gotten to know some of the folks here in Colorado. There’s some different laws out here in Colorado. Pizza business is pretty good out here, believe it or not, due to some recent law changes.
Of course, Manning was referring to recreational marijuana. You have to appreciate how he tip-toed around saying it though.
