I don’t know which rock I was under when this came out, but back in late February, Matt Mosley announced he was leaving his post as the official ESPN blogger for the NFC East.

f you ask ESPN Radio, the official word is that Michael Irvin’s contract expired this week. According to Dallas Morning News columnist Barry Horn, Irvin’s radio show contract expired January 10th, 2010. The show was two years old.
Irvin’s show continued an extra month (a little bizarre) and just happened to be officially canceled following the press release that Irvin has been accused of rape. It’s apparently a two year old charge, but one which, nonetheless, will garner a lot of attention during Super Bowl Weekend.
If you eliminate spanish stations, these are probably the ONLY three sports radio stations in the metroplex. But who’s counting?
Michael Irvin shared the story of his near carjacking on his ESPN radio show Tuesday. He was then interviewed by Channel 5, the local NBC station for the nightly news. Michael tells how he was driving to the gym for a workout when a black pickup with tinted windows sped up beside him, rolled down the window, and pointed a gun at him.
The Hispanic individuals instantly recognized Michael as the former Cowboys wide receiver and put the gun away. Michael says he nervously talked with them buddy/buddy about the Cowboys until they drove off.
My question to Michael, ESPN, NBC, and you the reader is: why is this newsworthy?
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.
