Secret appraisal this!
Looks like we won't be needing that Freedom of Information Act request after all: New York state assemblymember Richard Brodsky has issued a subpoena demanding that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority turn over its secret appraisal of the value of land the Jets want to use for their new stadium. The MTA must comply by next Thursday at 10:30 a.m., when Brodsky will be holding a hearing into the MTA land affair. (For those of you in NYC, it's at 250 Broadway in the 19th-floor hearing room.) I'll be there with my reporting shoes on.

This will be great theater, the kind that NYC craves....this whole stadium thing has turned into a Woody Johnson v. Dolan family spat - - - and while the city does not need a stadium, part of me wants the Dolan family to lose big on this one.

Reporting shoes? What are those, Nike Air Bernsteins? Do they help you keep your feet planted when you execute the difficult maneuver of turning on your microcassette recorder?

Dude, microcassette recorders are so last century. It's all about the minidiscs now, so you can hear the wheels of democracy grind painfully to a halt in stunning digital clarity.
