Well, the story that Gregg Henson and I have been working on for months now is basically official.  Greater Media is on the verge of flipping 105.1 to a local sports station.

Henson cracked the case wide open today when he blogged that a radio website (AllAccess.com) had posted an email address for people seeking employment positions for a new sports talk station in Detroit.

The new sports channel is looking for:

• Sports Updates/Producer/Board-Op/ Social Media Coordinator
• Board-Op/Screener
• On-Air Host
• Producer
• On-Air Co-Host
• Board Op/Screeners

Anyway, I figured I would email Greater Media with my qualifications as an on-air host.   The following is the actual email I sent them with only my cell phone number redacted.  If you are interested in applying, send your resume to jobsradio@outlook.com.

Hello friends,

My name is Jeff Moss.  I run a little website called the DetroitSportsRag.com. You might have heard of me.  I am the one who broke the story that you guys were going to flip to sports talk.

I also broke the news that Drew Lane would be on the station.  And that ESPN would be involved.  And that the holdup was ESPN’s insistence on you guy’s airing Colin Cowherd.

I am pretty great.  Anyway, I would like to appear in some capacity on your radio station.  You see, I have a blood lust for 97.1 The Ticket due to the fact they have killed “sports talk radio” in Detroit.  So, you would not only be getting a pariah, but a vindictive lunatic hellbent on destroying that garbage product that CBS Radio promotes.

I have to be honest with you.  I already have a really nice job where I make a pretty good living.  So, you would have to work around MY schedule.  Yeah, a real pain in the ass, but I am worth it.

Also, I don’t know a lot about light rail or bankruptcy or street lights or food carts, so if you are looking for that sort of expertise, I would advise you look elsewhere. If you want to hire a douche bag who wears $400 Gucci shoes and a pocket square into the Lions locker room while standing around twiddling his thumbs, I am not your guy.

If you want a host who spends more time on his fledgling restaurant business and incoherent blog, well keep looking.  If you are interested in hiring a morbidly obese host who is obsessed with the #69, but probably has never had sex with a female, ummm ….  can’t help ya.

Like I said previously, I am the best thing going in this town and you would be really fortunate to snag me.

Other than my gig as Editor and Chief of the DurtSpirtRugh.com, I have also appeared on WDFN as their horse racing expert, “The Horse’s Ass.”  Please don’t call Mike Stone for a reference though.  He has stopped talking to me because I kill all of his co-workers online.

I also have co-hosted a TV Podcast at UDetroit Cafe with both Damon Perry and Sean Baligian.  You might have heard of Mr. Baligian as you are on the verge of hiring him.

So, that about it.  You guys are a new sports talk radio station and I am the most honest and brilliant purveyor of sports opinions in Motown.  It’s like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.  So CALL ME.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Moss
