Todd Wright (born in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American sports radio personality. He was most recently the host of Todd Wright Tonight on Yahoo Sports Radio, which debuted on Monday, June 12, 2006, running through February 3, 2012.
He was previously the host of ESPN Radio's AllNight with Todd Wright, and was a part of ESPN Radio from 1996 to 2005. Wright was also the public address voice of the New York Yankees' spring training camp in Tampa, Florida and their minor league affiliate the Tampa Yankees between 1996 and 1998.
Wright can be seen on Sun Sports, a cable network in Florida and heard on the PGA Tour Network's radio golf broadcasts. He also frequently writes columns for Pro Football Weekly and blogs for the Tampa Bay Lightning on their official website. Wright has also hosted the Steve Duemig show when Duemig is on vacation on 620 WDAE in Tampa.
During Wright's time with ESPN Radio, he bucked a number of conventions held by other hosts, including giving the call-in number as "1-888-RAW-ESPN" where all other hosts gave out "1-888-SAY-ESPN". He was also adamant that his picture not be put on any ESPN websites, telling listeners that radio was meant to be a theater of the mind and that it really didn't matter what he looked like. He has since allowed his picture to be posted online.
Wright claims to be the first to refer to the NBA as "the Association", among other sports' catchphrases.

“My evil genius Procrastination has whispered me to tarry ‘til a more convenient season.”

“Science asks no questions about the ontological pedigree or a priori character of a theory, but is content to judge it by its performance; and it is thus that a knowledge of nature, having all the certainty which the senses are competent to inspire, has been attained—a knowledge which maintains a strict neutrality toward all philosophical systems and concerns itself not with the genesis or a priori grounds of ideas.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
