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?
Listening to ESPN Radio in DFW today, a Cowboys’ spokesperson admitted that Dallas is more interested in a seasoned wide receiver than a rookie. They believe their team is in position to be a Super Bowl contender and can’t afford the typical two year wait for a receiver to mature.
Who ARE the Cowboys looking to draft? Assuming they stay in the 20s of the 1st Round, expect a running back and a corner back. Those are the spots most needed, although drafting the overall best player available is a definite possibility as well. With the Cowboys looking at Roy Williams in Detroit and Arizona’s Anquan Boldin, any and every bargaining chip would and should be considered.
