About PFT Commenter
PFT at first did not make his identify known to the public, despite the fact that he was very popular. He revealed to Awful Announcing in 2017 that he wore sunglasses on camera to conceal his identity and that the crew at Barstool Sports referred to him as “PFT” as only half of them knew his real name. He said that he did this to avoid being identified. After some time had passed, he stated that his identity had turned into a “open secret” and that it will be revealed in due time.
As a commentator on ProFootballTalk.com, Sollenberger first started using the PFT Commenter alias. In 2012, he created the @PFTCommenter Twitter account, and he soon became a contributor for SBNation, Kissing Suzy Kolber, and Football Savages.
PFT Commenter made an appearance on the PFT Live radio program hosted by Mike Florio in the month of September 2015. Also in 2015, PFT Commenter began providing commentary on the 2016 presidential election in the United States and made several appearances on camera, albeit in the background, during the television coverage of the Republican Party presidential debates. PFT Commenter was not a candidate for the Republican nomination for president.
In March of 2016, PFT Commenter made the transition to Barstool Sports and simultaneously launched the podcast Pardon My Take alongside his co-host, Dan Katz. The podcast, which is frequently humorous in tone, has risen to a prominent position on the “Sports and Recreation” list that is maintained by iTunes.
During the month of May in 2016, PFT Commenter traveled with three other coworkers on a trip that was referred to as “Grit Week,” The trip began in Buffalo and concluded in Indianapolis for the Indianapolis 500. On February 8, 2017, both he and Katz appeared on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt and discussed the situation.
PFT Commenter managed to get into “Opening Night” for Super Bowl LI in Houston despite the fact that the National Football League had revoked Barstool Sports’ press credentials. He was able to pose questions to both the players and the coaches there.
PFT Commenter is a frequent guest on Bomani Jones’s ESPN radio show The Right Time, where he answers listeners’ questions. In response to former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson’s announcement that he would be trying out for the XFL as a kicker, PFT Commenter tried out for the XFL’s DC Defenders in January 2020 as a placekicker, after being trained by Jeff Fisher and Morten Andersen. This was in advance of the XFL’s revival season in 2020.
PFT Commenter’s distinctive sunglasses were switched out for a pair of tinted goggles during his tryout, and his helmet had a single bar face mask, which has been prohibited for usage in both professional and collegiate football for a very long time. In the end, the Defenders decided not to select him for the team; instead, Tyler Rausa, who was also attending the audition, was chosen for the kicking position.
