Talk radio needs more like Chris Moore

AMONG the employment mysteries within WFAN is why Chris

Moore remains tethered to spothosting weekend afternoons.

In a sports-radio wasteland that has become easier to avoid than indulge, Moore’s shows make it past several exits rather than halfway to Wawa.

Disinclined to suffer fools among his callers, he politely dismisses them. If someone has something worth hearing, he’s a good listener. Imagine that.

He’s thoughtful, knowledgeable and modest — even self-deprecating. He doesn’t make claims or noises to provoke interest among the easy, and has a good grasp of issues within most sports.

This past Sunday he reminded listeners that the Yankees won 100 games last year, despite widespread preseason claims that players such as Gary Sanchez had to produce.

Moore’s a reliably good, intelligent listen, which may explain why he’s relegated to weekend afternoons. ➤ Education tax dollars at work: In November, Rutgers linebacker Izaia Bullock, 22, was arrested, charged with planning a double homicide that was short-stopped by police. He was formally indicted Thursday.

Last week, Lester Gene Liston, recruited from Grand Blanc, Mich., to play LB for Rutgers — he did so in 2013 and 2014 — was sentenced via plea bargain in Michigan to six to 30 years for a 2017 murder.

In between, there have been arrests and convictions of many RU football recruits, ranging from credit-card fraud, rape of a minor, breaking and entering, armed robbery and felonious assault.

Although many were 21 or older, then-Gov. Chris Christie, RU football yahoo and WFAN semi-regular, explained, “Disciplinary problems with teenagers is the normal course on a college campus.”

Readers write: Denny O’Hearn —“I still feel sorta bad for the drubbing of Matt Kuchar as I do for the poor guys with the foresight to have made a prenuptial agreement but, alas and surprise, a new plan!”

(Cheap as Kuchar might be, there was an element of his caddie betting the winner after the race. Only Mike Francesa is so privileged.)

Bill Lennan — “Rare is the moment that makes me see a silver lining in the fact that my dad is no longer alive, but Anthony Weiner released wearing a Mets’ cap made such a moment.”
