Bryce Petty’s big rookie mistake didn’t come on the field, but rather, on Twitter.
On the evening of the end of training camp, the fourth-round pick admitted to — and sensitive readers may want to shield their eyes here — ordering from Domino’s.
“The fact that you can order @dominos by texting a pizza emoji is awesome… #welldoneMrDominoWellDone,” Petty Tweeted.
That may be normal behavior in other parts of the country, but that’s universally unacceptable in the New York/New Jersey area, and fans let him know.
“@b_petty14 @dominos No, dude. Just no. Go to a New York spot and get a real slice.” responded @superstarmelle.
“@b_petty14 you need to get some real Jersey pizza!!!!” wrote @missdysko.
Fans can be unruly and ruthless at times, but in this case, they have a point: Petty is indeed surrounded by some of the best pizza in the country.
At first, the former Baylor quarterback was defensive, responding to one fan who criticized Domino’s by writing back, “Uhm what… Clearly you don’t know pizza.” But then Petty realized he may have erred and decided to apologize before inciting a riot — perhaps a good sign for someone who has a lot to learn in the coming months.

“I apologize for stirring up the pizza community for my recent comment,” Petty wrote. “CLEARLY I have some pizza to eat, suggestions are accepted.”
Maybe he should ask this guy for some help.
