Chris Christie among candidates for sports radio job (GRAPHIC PHOTO warning by request)

After spending the better part of the last three years competing for a future life in politics – president, vice president or a senior role in the White House – Gov. Chris Christie could soon be in contention for a job that would keep him in the public eye with a megaphone in the country's largest media market.

WFAN 660-AM, the region's dominant sports-talk radio station, will "be looking to do stuff" at the end of the year, when longtime afternoon drive host Mike Francesa is expected to retire, said Mark Chernoff, the station's program director and vice president of its parent company, CBS Radio New York. Christie, whose name has been rumored as a possible replacement for Francesa, is among "plenty of candidates" the station is contemplating to fill the void left by Francesa, Chernoff said.

"I would certainly at least want to consider him," Chernoff said in an interview this week. "If he's interested and we're interested, it's worth pursuing."

The same attributes that catapulted Christie to national fame in his first term – unabashed volubility and acerbic reflexes – translate well to sports talk radio, radio industry experts say, and those qualities may soon serve him in a second act that is potentially far more lucrative and certainly less consequential.

2. Fat Boy will soon be a candidate

Don't tell me Bridget Kelly or her pal are going to do time for Fat Boy. The singing hasn't begun yet but I imagine it will soon.

You mean he is going to broadcast a show about which inmate on his cell block has the best 3 point shot?
