Jeff Wilpon says he pitched Adam Rubin's name for a job at Mets tv--NY Times

• The NY Times notes The NY Daily News has a regular show on the Mets TV channel, SNY- so everyone knows each other. Sometime after Tuesday's telecast, Jeff Wilpon manages to bring Adam Rubin back into the picture after bashing Omar Minaya for doing so:

(NY Times, Sandomir): "...it was jarring to see the “Daily News Live” panel on (SNY the NY Mets television channel) Tuesday ignore the Rubin-Minaya dust-up. Maybe there was no news to advance the story, by 5:30 p.m., but it was worth a second-day perspective.

• But by 6 p.m., video of Jeff Wilpon, the Mets’ chief operating officer, saying that Minaya had put the Mets in a “bad spot” and apologizing to Rubin had been posted on “Wheelhouse”;

• it was repeated on the Mets’ pregame show.

Given the SNY/Mets/(NY Daily) News ties, is it surprising that Wilpon also said that

• a while back he had circulated (Daily News reporter, Adam) Rubin’s name to the network’s

• executive producer about potential employment?"
