Anthony Farris

Anthony is a native of northeastern Ohio who has spent the majority of the last decade working within sports media. Anthony’s involvement began as a sports anchor/report for an NBC affiliate. This led to a Media Relations role with a member of the arenafootball 2, which opened the door for play-by-play and co-hosting duties on an ESPN radio affiliate. Anthony misses a time when a player’s compression shorts would regularly be longer than their uniform shorts (see: Chapman, Rex).
