Dallas Restaurant Offers Dwight Howard Free Chicken Fingers For Life if He Signs With Mavs
Not that this will sway Dwight Howard’s free agency decision too much…but it can’t hurt, you know? Per the Dallas Morning News (via EOB): “As the wooing of Dwight Howard officially begins, Dallas-Fort Worth-area Raising Cane’s restaurants are offering free-agent center Howard food for thought – for the rest of his life. On Monday, Raising Cane’s will kick off a campaign inviting Mavericks fans to help persuade Howard to sign with Dallas. The company has leased six electronic billboards to help publicize its cooked-up offer to Howard. Raising Cane’s marketing manager Adam Reed says that if Howard signs with the Mavericks, ‘he will be welcome to come by any of our (20) local restaurants to enjoy seriously delicious chicken fingers at any time, on us, for the rest of his life.’ Last week, the Lakers had seven billboards posted in the Los Angeles area with a capital-letters plea to Howard to STAY. But if the way to 6-foot-11, 265-pound Howard’s heart is through his stomach, the Mavericks might one-up the Lakers and Houston, which have yet to offer edible inducements, let alone a lifetime supply.”
