Matt Mosley from ESPN joins the show to talk about the always-interesting soap opera that is the NFC East.

First, as Mosley is a Dallas-area native and Big 12 alum, we sneak in a little BIg 12 talk, specifically how that conference has totally screwed up the BCS this year with their crazy tie-breaking rules.

We talk about his role at ESPN as the NFC East’s blogger in their new blogosphere introduced this year. We talk about the differences between covering the league for a national entity like the WWL as opposed to covering a local beat or being a local columnist. We also discuss the changes to his role from covering the entire league at Hashmarks, to just being responsible for covering the NFC East....clearly the most fascinating of all the divisions.

Speaking of fascinating, we cover the Plaxico Burress situation, and ask Mosley to put this into some historical perspective with regard to NFL off-field legal issues. Is this as big as Ray Lewis? TO in his driveway? Where does it rank?

Also, the Giants put Plax on the PUP list, but what if a doctor says he is able to perform. What legal grounds to the Giants have to keep him out, or would they just have to cut him? What will the NFL do to help the Giants in this situation?

With all the Giants mess this week, we almost forgot about how crazy the Dallas season  has been. From Pac Man to Romo’s finger to TO just being there (and ready to explode at any time)...has Dallas gotten through the tough stretch and settled down into a legit contender, or is there something brewing down there we should look for in the next few weeks? If anyone would know, it’s Mosley.

We end with some Philly talk (sorry Skins fans). Will Reid or McNabb be back next season? What will happen to them? Why would either of them even want to come back at this point?

Last, as Christmas approaches, we ask Matt if he can promise never to reference throwing snowballs at Santa, and as someone who grew up a Cowboys fan, if he can help spread the word to his out-of-town media brethren.
