Where did Matt Mosley come from, all of a sudden? I’ve been listening to ESPN radio religiously for more than a year, and I can tell you that someone is suddenly pushing Mosley onto the public in a major way. You’d think he was a superhero, the way his name pops up everywhere, all of a sudden. Perhaps it was just the coinciding of his transition from the Dallas Morning News to ESPN, but whatever it was, the entire ESPN network apparently drank the Mosley Kool-Aid.
He’s funny enough, I’ll give him credit. Mosley has more personality than 90% of the people I hear on ESPN Radio every day. I have nothing against the guy. He makes me laugh every time he talks about his latest conversation with Tony Romo or some other celeb that we all know he has almost no contact with. The guy actually exudes a kind of charm you wouldn’t expect on a sports radio network. Mosley fits more with my people… the internet marketing, blogging, SEO, social media peeps.
I love how Randy Galloway refers to Matt Mosley as “the ESPN blogggg man.” Randy exaggerates the word “blog” so much that you have to wonder if he even knows what he’s talking about. Perhaps he’s trying to figure out what the term means. Either that, or we have to put Randy in the same pitiful category as those other Dallas Morning News writers who have a chip on their shoulders against bloggers because the blogs are stealing their readers.
That’s what Mosley is… a blogger. He’s a new generation of sports personality. He is the fresh, young blood. Nice. Now if only he’d replace Dale Hansen from 6-7pm so I can drive home in peace. Don’t be surprised if our young Mosley finds himself in a prominent place on daily ESPN Radio. Whether it’s the morning slot vacated by Jennifer Engle or the all too valuable slot currently taken hostage by the pathetic Dale Hansen, he’s welcome to take his pick as far as I’m concerned.
So Matt, if you’re reading this (and let’s face it, we all know you are), best of luck to you in your budding career. May you replace Hansen swiftly and completely. In the meantime, the rest of you go check out Mosley’s Hashmarks blog on ESPN.
