Quotes & moments
PFT argued Trae Young ranks 3rd all-time in assists per game in NBA history, behind Magic Johnson and John Stockton.
During Jaylen Brown's entire career, the Celtics won 67% of their games when he played, but 70% of games without him.
Last season the Celtics won 80% of games without Jaylen Brown, compared to 66% when he played.
PFT stated the US Men's National Team holds an all-time record of approximately 1 win and 17 losses against European nations at the World Cup, with the lone win coming against Portugal in 2002.
Jaylen Brown has the second worst plus-minus of any 5-time All-Star over the past 10 years, including a negative career average.
The US men's national team won 3 World Cup games in 19 days, compared to only 3 wins in the previous 24 years of World Cup play.
Under the new clock-free format, the 2026 HR Derby produced 131 home runs versus the 5-year average of 275 under the old clock format, though viewers felt they actually saw more because they could watch the ball land.
The previous season the Celtics went 15-4 without Jaylen Brown, representing a higher win percentage than when he played.
PFT Commenter claimed that if air conditioning didn't exist, roughly 40 percent of Pardon My Take's listener base would likely die from heat.
BetterHelp, the world's largest online therapy platform with over 30,000 therapists, has served more than 6 million people globally and holds a 4.9/5 average rating from 1.7 million client reviews.
Uruguay's soccer federation cancelled the team's private charter flight home after players attacked referees post-elimination, leaving them to find their own way back.
Wayne the Bard (PFT's character) successfully solved the Arcana puzzle and claimed Lord Manshoon's spellbook, the primary objective of the D&D session.
Despite being Brazil's star player for years, Neymar never played in a game past the World Cup quarterfinals in his career.
Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm, has recovered over $30 billion for clients across its 100+ nationwide offices.
The PGA Tour specifically excluded Phil Mickelson from its policy allowing LIV golfers to return, requiring major champions from 2022 onward — a rule directly targeting Mickelson.
Wyndham Clark hit a towering wood shot to eagle the par-5 16th on Saturday at Shinnecock — and Max Homa says almost no one on tour has the clubhead speed to even attempt it. The obscene height combined with a soft landing on a tabletop green is what separated this shot from everything else that week.
George Kittle is 21 weeks out from Achilles surgery and running over 16 miles per hour in cleats on the field. He's doing single-leg box jumps, cutting again — and his trainers keep telling him to simmer down.
Over 92 tight ends signed up for Tight End University 2025 — the most ever — with Tony Gonzalez attending for the first time. The event also features an open stadium with free tickets, Brock Purdy throwing passes, and Dana Beers promising to shotgun 10 beers on stage.
The USMNT beat Australia 2-0 in Seattle without Christian Pulisic and the Pardon My Take crew is declaring them the best in the world. Big Cat and PFT make the case for why the World Cup bracket could set up a deep run — possibly to the semifinals.
George Kittle kept his mouth shut his entire first NFL season — learned everything he could — and only let his personality out once he'd proven himself. His coaching: no rookie should be known as the funny guy or the one with the cool car. Be known only for how you play.
George Kittle won't give away the trade situation, but he'll tell you this: he watched Brandon Aiyuk running over 22 miles per hour and stopping instantly in early morning practice about 8 months ago. The talent is still there.
Kevin Durant claims he joined the Golden State Warriors — the team that had just gone to back-to-back Finals and won 73 games — because he saw them as a losing franchise historically. The hosts call it the mental gymnastics of the century.
Fans at Shinnecock booed Wyndham Clark's every shot and cheered his misses — a level of hostility rarely seen at a US Open. The hosts break down the three strikes against him: smashing lockers at Oakmont, destroying a T-Mobile sign, and making a birth control joke at the Masters Par 3 tournament.
Memes attended the Knicks championship parade, estimated the crowd at 4 million (double the reported number), stood next to Mike Brown at the speeches, and ended up at Stone Street with a group of AWLs. Everyone greeted each other as 'champion.'
Green speed at a US Open can shift day to day based on wind and course conditions — and even the best professionals can be rattled by that unpredictability. Max Homa explains why pros, who are conditioned to perfectly manicured surfaces, become almost gun-shy when the speed changes mid-tournament.
George Kittle can't wait to retire and coach a hard-nosed high school football team in Nashville, Tennessee. He wants to run 2 and 3 tight end sets, outside zone, and gap schemes — and instill grit and effort into teenagers. Don't expect the Wing-T.
In 2006, Lionel Messi scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years, 11 months, wearing number 19. In 2026, Jamal Musiala scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years, 11 months, wearing number 19. And Messi once posed with Musiala as a baby in a charity calendar photo shoot.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is heading to Miami, and Big Cat argues the Bucks waited a year too long — costing them a better return. The Heat get Giannis and Bam together, a terrifying defensive front court, but an open question of who shoots the ball. Jimmy Haslam's reported reasoning for rejecting Jaylen Brown — not wanting another Giannis situation — adds a fascinating layer.
Dusty May won a national title at Michigan then immediately became head coach of the Dallas Mavericks — getting to coach Cooper Flagg. Big Cat called it one of the fastest rises in coaching history, going from FAU to Michigan to the NBA in three years. The transfer portal frustrations he aired publicly? Big Cat argues that was just a cover — May always wanted the NBA.
The inaugural Mount Rushmore season kicks off with deli meats. Three teams — Big Cat & the Booth Boys, Hank & Zach, and PFT solo — snake-draft their four picks. The selections spark a heated debate about whether turkey is actually edible on its own and whether roast beef deserves a spot.
