Mayor Bloomberg says he's disappointed the Jets didn't consider taking him over Tim Tebow as Jets quarterback.

FIRST, IT WAS Peyton Manning ? and now Mayor Bloomberg is gunning for Tim Tebow?s job.

Hizzoner, who has been jetting around the Pacific Rim on city business, joked on WOR-AM?s ?The John Gambling Show? Friday that he thought he would be a better choice for Gang Green?s No. 2 quarterback.

?I was hurt . . . because I would have thought that if they wanted to have a backup for Mark Sanchez all they would have to do is call me,? the mayor said.

He comes cheaper that the Heisman Trophy winner.

?I can do it while I?m still mayor. I wouldn?t charge them very much. I work for a dollar a year for the city. I?m sure we could negotiate something,? he said.

And although he?s nearly a foot shorter that the former Broncos quarterback, Bloomberg claims he?s quicker.

?Some of those linebackers, they?re big and they can?t be as quick as I can so they?ll be tripping over themselves,? he said. ?All kidding aside, Tebow is certainly going to make things interesting and breed new excitement.?

Bloomberg called into Gambling on a stop over in Vietnam after a trip to Singapore, where he collected an award, along with a $270,000 prize for the city, for his environmentally friendly policies. He was also promoting an anti-smoking effort abroad with a $220 million donation from his philanthropic foundation.
