Oh Omar

“I don't know how I'm going to cover the team now.” That is the one statement from yesterday that resonates within.

When Adam Rubin probed Jeff Wilpon about how to break into the baseball industry a line may have been crossed in the opinion of some. However I can’t sit here and see how that is so. In this economy networking should be an integral part of everyone’s existence – blurred boundaries of journalistic ethics not withstanding. It is in his right as a human being to make sure that should The Daily News make cut backs, he and his family are covered.

Kudos to Martin Dunn, deputy publisher and editor-in-chief of The Daily News, for sticking by his guy “1000%.” That presser / circus yesterday could have resulted in two men losing their livelihood – ironically enough one of them for doing their job (and to add to the irony, because Omar had a vendetta against him for forcing his hand at doing his own). It appears as though a position with The News is still in Rubin’s present and future. Unfortunately because of Omar, it may no longer be covering the Mets. That is despicable.
