Anthony Mormile


It is with deep sadness that I write this post today. Yesterday, we lost a truly special man. Anthony Mormile impacted so many lives wherever he went. He helped so many young sports broadcasters get opportunities and reach their potential. He was a driving force in getting MMA Live on ESPN.com and was so proud when we finally made the move to TV. He moved to South Florida last year and our families have spent a lot of time together since. He and his amazing wife, Jess, and son, Mikey, welcomed my girls into their home like family. All Anthony ever wanted to do was help. When I got in a little hot water with a tattoo bet earlier this year and I needed some advice, my first phone call was to the Big Man. And, of course, he told me to 'R-E-L-A-X'. I so badly wish I could hear that voice again today.

Ant, we miss you, we love you, we thank you.
