Pardon My Book

Ten Years of the Best (and Worst) in Sports from Pardon My Take

By: Big Cat, PFT Commenter

In celebration of its tenth anniversary, the long-awaited, definitive, authorized—and occasionally accurate—guide to the #1 sports podcast, Pardon My Take.

It’s finally here! Pardon My Book is packed with ten years of crazy content from the wildest, most irreverent sports podcast of all time. Written and curated by Big Cat and PFT with the help of the PMT crew, this entertaining yearbook takes fans behind the scenes of the show, covering topics as honorable—and as stupid—as:

• The gritty versus scrappy toughness debate, including what it means to be a “football guy.”
• The funniest guests who embraced the chaos (Blake Bortles, Coach O, Jerry O’Connell, Ryan Whitney, and the Long brothers).
• Testimonials from reporting legends and fans of the show, including Scott Van Pelt, Joe Buck, Dianna Russini, and Adam Schefter.
• Insights into the interviews that went completely off the rails—and commemoration for those that didn’t.
• Embrace Debate topics such as the best fullbacks of all time, how the media got it right about LeBron, and why Blake of the Year always seems to skew toward one Blake over the other.
• Breakdowns of PMT’s investigations, conspiracies, deep dives, and scandals.
• The art of the Take.
• What Hank actually does (and what he does not).
• Essays from the Pardon My Take staff, including new legends Max, Zac, and Memes.
• Bad bets, even worse bets, Larry the Gambling Goldfish (RIP), and Big Cat’s broken rules for gambling.
• The Official Mount Rushmore of PMT—legendary moments, running bits, and the dumb stuff that somehow became iconic.

And much, much more!
