BIO:
Petros Papadakis has taken the local and national sports media scenes by storm since graduating from the University of Southern California in 2001.
The USC football star got his start in broadcasting fresh off the field by doing television analysis for Fox Sports Net and radio work on the Trojan flagship station.
Papadakis broadened his TV duties over the next couple years adding sideline reporting and magazine show hosting roles. In 2003 Petros began hosting a Monday through Friday mid-morning radio show on radio
The “Petros Papadakis Show” started in January 2004. Every afternoon Petros touched on all aspects of sports, entertainment and life in general. His passion, rapid fire delivery and ability to zoom past politically correct boundaries have made him a controversial figure and a lightning rod for attention. Petros was named L.A.'s number one sports radio host in 2006 by the Daily News.
Papadakis debuted as FSN’s lead college football analyst in September 2004 working in the booth with Barry Tompkins. Petros has become one of America’s leading authorities on college football and he works on other FSN programming like the Best Damn Sports Show, the BCS Ratings Show and Totally Football.
Petros has guest starred on several television programs; the CBS hit series CSI-New York, Outside the Lines and Cold Pizza plus “I Love the 90’s” on VH-1.
Papadakis is in his second season as the host of Spike-TV’s “Pro’s vs Joe’s” and he has also been on E, the Game Show Network and the KTLA Morning News.
Petros, his father John and his brother Taso all played football at USC. Petros played tailback for the Trojans and in 2000 was the captain of the only last place team in USC history. He scored 16 touchdowns for the Trojans and was voted Most Inspirational Player for the 2000 season.
The Papadakis family owns and operates the Papadakis Taverna in San Pedro, one of America’s top Greek restaurants. Petros still waits tables at the Taverna, except during football season
