Hey, Pardon My Take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon Music.
On today's Pardon My Take, presented by DraftKings, we are back in studio, and we've got real football games to talk about. Week zero in college football took place on Saturday. It was good to see some real football games in action.
We have our good friend Pete Prisco to get you pumped up for the NFL season. We are two Sundays away, two Sundays away. Scott Hanson sends that tweet, and it makes me feel something. Cut day in the NFL. Who's back of the week? And Mt Rushmore is now down to two. PFT popped that bottle. He has been deemed safe.

**PFT Commenter** (0:48)
Popped that ass on him.

**Dan Katz** (0:49)
Yep, it is now Hank versus Zack, and it's set up that Hank, if he wins one of the next two, there will be no finale on Friday. Come on. If Zack can win these next two, we will have a Mt Rushmore duel off on Friday. So we're gonna do the Mt Rushmore Heavy Things after Prisco. They're shaking hands right now.
And it's all brought to you by our friends at YouTube. Look, we all know NFL Sundays are sacred, and so we found the perfect way to make sure we don't miss a single snap of NFL action. We're fully dialed into NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV.

Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Today is Monday, August 31st. And PFT Football is back, and preseason football is over. We had Cut Day in the NFL, and I am really sad to inform everyone here that Daejon Love did not make the 53 man roster of the San Francisco 49ers.

**PFT Commenter** (3:14)
That's right, love finds a way.

**Dan Katz** (3:15)
Yeah.

**PFT Commenter** (3:15)
Who bounds back.

**Dan Katz** (3:16)
For people who have missed this story, it has taken over the internet.
Actually, we haven't talked about it. We were all in different locations on this weekend, so we have not talked about it. But to sum it up for anyone who's missed it, Daejon Love is a internet scammer who essentially pretended that he was an NFL player for the last however many years, and the FBI arrested him, and he's alleged to have scammed $1.3 million from various women. And it is so funny because if you are someone who watches the NFL, like everyone who's listened to the show and all of us in this room, you just saw one clip of this guy and you're like, yeah, he is not an NFL player, but he somehow kept this scam going. I guess it just shows if you carry around a helmet with you everywhere you go, people might assume you're in the NFL.

**PFT Commenter** (4:11)
I mean, maybe you didn't buy it. I thought that was a crispy route, and he was wearing a 49ers helmet. Where else can you get a 49ers helmet? That's what the 49ers wear when they play football. Well, he not only had that helmet in the car working out playing football.

**Dan Katz** (4:25)
Yeah, I think it wasn't the route. It was when he had the helmet with him in the car that I was like, oh shit, this guy's legit.

**PFT Commenter** (4:30)
That's what ballplayers do.
They walk around and have the cook with the helmet on, some guys sleep with it on. It was just essentially him having a helmet, owning a couple of footballs, and then wearing the color red a lot.

He curated his Instagram to look like an NFL player.
