Scott Ferrall is a sports talk radio host who currently broadcasts for Sirius Satellite Radio on Howard 101. Ferrall is easily recognizable by his distinctive crackling, raspy voice and his seemingly endless energy on the air. He's considered very controversial and pulls no punches on his show.

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 KLSX-FM in Los Angeles, KNBR-AM in San Francisco and WCNN-AM 680 The Fan in Atlanta; where his show centered on Atlanta and southeast sports.

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 supporting 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.

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.

Ferrall was a cohort on Mancow's Morning Madhouse for a period.

Ferrall, for a time before moving to Sirius, also did shows on weekends for Fox Sports Radio.

On March 27, 2006, Howard Stern announced that Ferrall had joined Howard 101 on Sirius. Ferrall is heard M-F evenings from 8pm-12am Eastern.

He admitted on May 17, 2007 that his sister worked for 15 years as a writer/producer for Pat Robertson and The 700 Club. During a call from Ralph Cirella from the Howard Stern Show on May 17, 2007, Ferrall stated he believed in God but was never a strong believer in any religion and was not "brainwashed" like his sister. He further admitted that, though he gets along with his sister, time spent too long with her in family situations is uncomfortable.

Ferrall appeared in the movie "Redbelt" as an announcer.

He is currently featured as a sports analyst on The Wheelhouse on SNY. He also has a website where people can pay for his sports picks called Scott Beats The Man.

He was the ring announcer for the inaugural event of YAMMA Pit Fighting.Ferrall also has a huge trache which is the cause of his very raspy and annoying voice and there's no disputing that he was born with this voice.
