Sports Talk Radio: Art Rust Jr.
When I was a kid in the early 1980s, before WFAN, I listened to Art Rust Jr. talk sports on WABC radio.

Thomas Vanek Claims League Bias On Game-Winning Goal Reversal
The Islanders and Blues were tied 3-3 in overtime when Thomas Vanek scored what appeared to be the game-winner.
