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

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 origin story of Pardon My Take and the most pivotal 30 hours in human history
How Grit Week started, what grit actually means, and what happens when you spend way too many hours trapped in an RV with your best friends
The Rules and 4 Keys to Making a successful podcast that are in no way complete and total luck
The funniest guests who embraced our chaos (Blake Bortles, Coach O, Jerry O’Connell, Ryan Whitney, the Long brothers, and many others)
Testimonials from reporting legends and loyal fans of the show, including Joe Buck, Scott Van Pelt, Chris Berman, Mike Florio, and Adam Schefter
Original contributions from the entire PMT universe, including PFT’s definitive ranking of the greatest fullbacks of all time, Big Cat’s 10 Rules to Gambling, Hank on golf, Zac on icecream (yes, one word), and, naturally, a deeply serious Mount Rushmore of Best Italian American Athletes
“Extracurriculars,” a collection of stories, disasters, arguments, rankings, and side quests that didn’t fit anywhere else in the book
And much, much more!

Big Cat is Dan Katz, and PFT Commenter is Eric Sollenberger. They’ve been the co-hosts of Pardon My Take since 2016.
