Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff didn’t seem any different when he called last Friday to explain why he had to link the city’s offer of $500 million for the West Side Yards to the No. 7 extension.
But, Page 6 reports (grain of salt added) that Doctoroff interviewed for the job of NFL Commissioner last week but was passed over:
“LOOKS like Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff is staying at City Hall for now. Doctoroff, who spearheaded the failed effort to build a stadium for the Jets on the West Side, was one of 11 people interviewed last week for the NFL commissioner job being vacated by Paul Tagliabue. The group included former FCC chair Michael Powell and NFL chief counsel Jeff Pash. But Doctoroff didn't make the short list, which is down to five, our source says. The favorite is NFL Chief Operating Officer Roger Goodell. The mayor's office had no comment.”
