PFT Commenter came into notice in 2015 several times after he commented on the 2016 United States presidential election. He was captured on the camera several times during the coverage of the Republican Party presidential debates. His question to the then-Presidential candidate, Ben Carson, also gained him the major attention of the media.

He had actually asked the question to Carson if he had an option to go in the past and abort an unborn Adolf Hitler, would he do that. Later, his question became the major headline for CNN.com, which was made with the title, Ben Carson would not abort Baby Hitler.

In March 2016, he started working for Barstool Sports, where he appeared as a co-host of comedic sports podcast “Pardon My Take”. He is still hosting the podcast along with Dan Katz. The podcast has become very popular among people. In fact, the podcast is listed on the top rank on iTunes on the Sports and Recreation list. Along with co-host, Dan Katz, he has made an appearance on the daily sports news, SportsCenter on 8th February 2017.

PFT Commenter also makes a regular call-in appearance on the EPSN radio show, The Right Time. He was about to play for the XFL’s DC Defenders as a placekicker for the XFL’s 2020 revival season. However, he was not selected at the end as Tyler Rausa won the kicking position after the tryout. For the tryout, he even received training from the football coach, Jeff Fisher, and former placekicker, Morten Anderson.

During his tryout, he had to remove signature sunglasses which were replaced with tinted goggles, and he wore a single bar face mask instead of a helmet. The use of tinted goggles and face mask has been disallowed in college and professional football for a long time.
