By Alex Fry

My name is Fry, I am quickly going bald, and I love sports. Sport has always been a major part of my life which led me to create my own website SportsbyFry, adding my own unique twist to trending topics, mainly covering the AFL, NBA and NFL. As my site continued to grow I launched my own podcast, which now provides you with audio recordings of my blog post, weekly fantasy updates from the AFL, NBA and NFL world and a ton more!
