OK. I Give Up. Who is Mr Moohead and Why Am I Reading This? (Moohead Radio is on M-F at 5PM EST)

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.

Moo,
Welcome to relative respectability. The Vindy readers have no idea what they are in for…

You stink… out loud.

Moohead,
Always enjoy your show. Youngstown severely lacks good quality sports talk. The local 1240 has “kids” on the air that can’t even pronounce CC Sabathia’s name. (CC Sah Bah Tia was actually said on the air several times one day!)
Clear Channel does live high school sporting events well but that’s all they do. Otherwise we have no other choice for local sports radio.
Glad you took the intiative and found out the power of the web. Local radio is moving online now and you were there first.

Thank Moo. Make that 3 listeners….
January 19th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Back up to 4 again!

MooHead its great to see you made it all the way to the Vindy online paper site! It seems like only yesterday I tossed you a bone on ESPN and now look at you. Anyone have the link to the WARREN PAPER?

Moo,
Welcome to relative respectability. Do the people of Youngstown really know what they’re in for?
You’ve added another realm to your empire.
Today Youngstown, tomorrow the world!

Yeah remember that time Jim landed you a pass for spring training? How about that Mark Shapiro interview? OOh I loved that time Jim got his good friend Sam Rutigliano on the phone for you.
January 21st, 2007 at 11:42 pm
How about that time Jim got Mooheadradio thousands of hits on the site.
How about the time Jim got more people then ever to follow this online radio show.
How about the time posts about Jim Terry ran in the hundreds on mooheadradio.com.
How about the time Jim Terry said bad things will happen downtown during Thunder games and Mooheadradio was all over TV in Youngstown Ohio.
NEVER SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE CARE ABOUT OR POST ABOUT ANY OF THE OTHER 3 YOU listed

Terry,
Nobody cares about your stupid team. Why won’t you understand that? I thought you’d be in jail by now so I give you credit for that at least.

How’s it feel riding on a Cow’s coat tails? I’m interviewing the owner of the Cleveland Indians today. Thanks for getting me this interview, Jim. Same with the Mark Shapiro, Sam Rutigliano, Campy Russell and Brian Windhorst interviews. Not to mention the STO interviews, Tom Hamilton interviews, Mike Hegan interviews and my spring training accreditation. You’ve done it all, Jim. Thanks.

Moohead remember the time Jim got you the interview with god?
January 25th, 2007 at 11:12 pm
Yeah. But God turned me down because Jim owed him a thousand bucks.

Now how about all the people who are turned away from your show because of Jim. God of course I love how he rips off all these people and has the audacity to say God Bless at the end of his interviews. Is he selling miracle water at Hitmen games? Jim new idea could be “God hates the thunder so don’t go there.” Maybe him and the 700 club guy can think of a profit that god said the end of the world will come when the Thunder wins the title.”
Terry pist off Reghi, the owners of the thunerplex, Bob Hannon and anyone who opposes him. Hes an idiot with no life.

Jim Terry is an idiot. The media will not cover him anymore. He has pissed off everyone. He stands no chance to make this “venture” work here. Take it somewhere else and find the new Maurice Clarett and sell it to them. It was horrible taste to use the name Hitmen and everything Terry has done since then has been in horrible taste.
Why doesn’t Moohead or Hannon want Terry on their show? Simply put because Terry is an idiot!
January 27th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
James but according to Jim Terry the only people who don’t like him are me and you and couple of other people. He would say that 99% of the mahoning Valley likes him
January 27th, 2007 at 10:13 pm
John you just gave the definition of insanity. Terry is a nut case.
January 28th, 2007 at 9:52 am
does anyone believe Jim when he says he’s sold over 500 season tickets? Anyone who has bought a ticket to a game deserves to be smacked.
January 29th, 2007 at 7:50 am
According to my media reports, there are only ten people reading this blog unless Jim Terry posts on here. The number goes up to 2,500 when he posts. Keep holding on to his coat tails Moo. LOL

Jim Terry is a tool
