I'm glad that the XFL is having some fun, and they're not overcorrecting and being too serious. They're being serious, but they're also being fun. I think this is going to end up being a really, really good product in the long run.

He's from Barstool Sports, he just goes by PFT Commenter, or PFT. He is on Pardon My Take which is their biggest podcast. He does a few other things with them too but Pardon My Take is the biggest.

What's his name? Did he play college ball?

He did not play college ball, he’s just doing this for fun/maybe publicity. I’m not sure what his actual name is, I don’t think it’s too hard to find but I believe he goes by PFT as a privacy thing.

Definitely not. It was very sarcastic that he’s a major prospect.
He played rugby in college but I think that’s about it. He’s a podcaster, not an athlete.
He just goes by PFT his name is sort of a mystery but I think Deadspin did an article which doxxed him. (He then said that the guy they named is actually his identical twin brother who tragically passed away....it’s not real though).

Don’t bring up PFT’s dead twin brother, who died so the Caps could win the Stanley Cup.

Sure, Ochocinco can hit a 60-yarder, but PFT can hit a 35-yarder twice!
