The audience has grown in the first three weeks of the Monday Night Football<\/em> ManningCast thanks to enjoyable guests and the personalities of the two former NFL greats in the hosting seats. The Manning brothers' unique take on the traditional television football broadcast has been a hit for ESPN. “Monday Night Manning” has seen Eli Manning<\/a> “dance,” Peyton Manning<\/a> don a way-too-small helmet, and Archie Manning critique his sons like the Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets<\/a>. Possibly the most intriguing interaction so far is the Twitter beef between Peyton and Barstool Sports personality PFT Commenter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PFT Commentator is the stage name of Barstool Sports personality Eric Sollenberger. The pseudonym refers to his persona, which mimics the troll-like tendencies of some sports fans who inhabit the comments sections of sites such as Mike Florio's<\/a> Pro Football Talk (PFT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Texas Monthly<\/a>, “He created the PFT Commenter personality to mimic the tone of the site's worst users, complete with spelling errors, bizarre punctuation, and political takes on football news that have nothing to do with the gridiron.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After writing for outlets such as SBNation and the Austin Chronicle, Sollenberger found success with Barstool Sports<\/a>, primarily as the host of the site's hit podcast, Pardon My Take<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with legions of dedicated fans, the controversial pundit has also made some enemies during his time at Barstool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PFT Commenter's “performance” on Barstool Sports has rubbed many people the wrong way. This includes Deadspin writer Laura Wagner, who outed Sollenberger as the real person behind PFT when the Washington Post refused to. ESPN President John Skipper is another example. He canceled PFT and his co-host Dan “Big Cat” Katz's<\/a> show on the network, Van Talk<\/em>, after just one episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest sports world figure to have a problem with PFT Commenter is none other than Peyton Manning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
