Ferrall is easily recognizable by his crackling, raspy voice and his fast, sometimes nonsensical style.
Ferrall’s career began as a standard sports news reader on all-news KQV radio in his home town of Pittsburgh. When he left KQV, he drifted to Florida and found part-time radio work in the Tampa area. After a short stint with the Sports Entertainment Network (now Sporting News Radio), he became a sports host on Infinity Broadcasting sports talker WFAN-AM and numerous other stations, including KNBR-AM in San Francisco. Ferrall got a break on WNEW by befriending Opie and Anthony and ended up taking over The Sports Guys talk show on WNEW-FM mornings where it became Ferrall on the Bench. He was then fired from WNEW for backing up his friends (now enemies) Opie and Anthony when they were pulled from the airwaves for their “Sex for Sam 3″ bit. Following WNEW, Ferrall went to Miami and did mornings on Beasley Broadcasting sports station WQAM-AM (home of Neil Rogers), where his show got the station fined $55,000 by the FCC. After being let go again thanks to an angered general public and lawyers, Ferrall was hired by Clear Channel, and headed north to Atlanta talk station WMAX-FM. Ferrall’s WMAX show was not sports focused, and just more of a generic talk show with sports being brought up on occasion. On this show he was joined in-studio by a group of hosts, and later by sister station WKLS-FM’s own Manic Mike.
He was also the original radio play-by-play voice of the Atlanta Thrashers, but lasted only one season in that role.
Ferrall, along with Steve Albert, co-hosted the short-lived American Gladiators knock-off Battle Dome in 1999.
On March 27, 2006, Howard Stern announced that Ferrall had joined Howard 101 on Sirius.
