You 4 or 6 who already know and love his edgy commentary can skip to the end of this post, while we introduce the rest of you to this emerging bovine sports extraordinaire.
In his own words:
Here’s a brief overview of what you are about to experience. This is what we call “suspension of belief” in the radio biz.
My name is Mr Moohead. I am a Cow. My choices in life were limited. Either hour after hour on the automatic milking machine, or discover a way to pay my way without sensitizing the ol’ udders. I talked Mr Farmer into allowing me to start an internet radio show from a barn here in rural Vermont. He wasn’t really thrilled with the idea. In fact, I stole his credit card and created a bovine state of the art internet studio in the back of the barn.
I have been a Cleveland sports fan my whole life. It struck me as somewhat odd that the sports talk radio stations in Cleveland talked more about Pittsburgh than Cleveland. In fact, the biggest one (1100 AM) Doesn’t even TALK sports most of the day. The other one (850 AM) keeps getting sold to out of town people. So out of sheer frustration (because of “The Fumble”, “The Drive”, Jordan’s buzzer beater, and every other Cleveland sports tragedy), Mr Moohead created “Moohead Radio”, and rapidly gained 2 regular listeners. That quickly doubled to 4 in 3 months. With my four regular listeners in tow, I chose to branch out into NE Ohio, including the Youngstown area. Little did I realize that Youngstown and a Cow were made for one another. I have a lousy show with 4 listeners, and you got the Mike Tyson World Tour, and Jim Terry’s EIFL indoor football league. It was then I realized we were meant for each other.
Since those salad days, the show has gained a hoof hold in the NE Ohio area. Mr Moohead started talking YSU football and Youngstown high school football with new listeners from the greater Y-town area. Unlike other radio shows, a Cow became an odd host, combining intermittent fan whining with rare bovine insight, to create a personality based radio program.
With all that said, please be aware that it IS internet radio. Uncensored. Sometimes the language gets salty. Sometimes Mr Moohead calls out the local teams. Sometimes he calls local businesses to complain about things. He’s a Cow. Most listeners are hooked once they hear how much of a “fan” a Cow really is. He tends to verbalize exactly what you were thinking €¦in a slightly twisted way.
Among the few fooled by a Cow €¦Vindy.com, who decided to give a Cow his own blog within the vindy site. Here, a Cow will pontificate on the sorry state of local and NE Ohio AND national sports. If you enjoy what you read here, try the show. If you think it’s a complete waste of time, take a number and get in line. I don’t have time for you.
Keep checking back for bovine blog updates. Right now, we’re talking Cavs, Indians, OSU basketball, Browns, as well as all the national stuff. Drop me a line if you’d like to share your thoughts. Moo.
Come Monday, the Cow will be talking with Indians owner Paul Dolan at 10 a.m. For all the info, click here for his blog. You can link to his show from there.
