Sometimes we underestimate the New York Daily News, bemoaning their cheap-shot headlines, tongue-in-cheek features and arbitrary firings, and occasionally failing to appreciate their humor-injected ledes.

This is not one of those times.

Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez is eying apartments in a swanky upper East Side building featuring a $16 million penthouse big enough for his wife, child - and friends, real estate sources told the Daily News.

And just like that, the Daily News has somehow managed to combine a matter-of-fact description of A-Rod's purported new digs with an off-color allusion to his extramarital activities in a single, solitary line.

Well played, Martin Dunn. Well played.
