MSG puts six one-of-a-kind portraits of athletes on sale for charity
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck admits he doesn't know a lot about art, but to be immortalized on canvas seems pretty cool even to a two-time Super Bowl Champion.
"It's such a different piece of art and a unique depiction of a football player," Tuck said Tuesday at the Garden of Dreams Foundation's unveiling of six one-of-a-kind portraits. The portraits featuring Tuck, Knicks center Tyson Chandler, Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, Knicks Hall-of-Famer Walt "Clyde" Frazier, and the cast of HBO's "The Sopranos" are all based off real photographs taken by MSG photographer George Kalinsky mixed with acrylic paint.
The signed portraits are on auction through March 8 with a starting bid of $2,500. Poster-sized signed prints of the portraits are on sale for $200 while unsigned prints can be purchased for $75. Proceeds go to the Garden of Dreams, a nonprofit that helps needy kids. The portraits were originally hanging on the event level of Madison Square Garden. When fans caught a peek at them, they wanted to know how to purchase the portraits.
Each depicted celebrity and athlete was escorted by a child from the program. A young girl named Taylor, who had cancer, who accompanied Tuck, previously received tickets to a Justin Bieber concert from the nonprofit. When asked who her favorite Justin was "Bieber" or "Tuck," she blushed and responded "Tuck! Of course!"
To bid or buy the portraits visit steinersports.com/gardenofdreams.The Dolan family owns controlling interests in the Knicks, MSG and Cablevision. Cablevision owns amNewYork.

Good evening I'm Chris Wallace in for -- -- Former CI AJ David Petraeus testified before congressional committees today and closed door sessions.
And some top Republicans charge Petraeus has now changed his story about what happened in the September 11 attack on the US mission in Libya.
His testimony now raises even more questions about the Obama administration's account in the days after the assault.
Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports from capitol -- that evening Catherine.
Well thank you Chris the former CIA director is used to coming in the front door today -- reporters apparently using a loading dock to enter the Capitol Hill contracts where he briefed the house and Senate Intelligence Committees.
The former CIA director was pushed to explain why today he said he believed it was terrorism from the start -- on September 14 according to a senior Republican in the house the directors emphasis was on the anti Islam film.
Whose testimony today was that from the start.
He had told us that this was really the terrorist attack of the terrorists involved.
Who sought.
I just -- my question -- different recollection of that.
One Democrat said the disagreements come down to a basic issue.
The more significant question was the element of planning.
And who was responsible.
And that wasn't clear.
To what degree this was planned.
A congressional source familiar with his -- classified testimony tells Fox News that the language in the CIA talking points right after the attack.
Was changed from al-Qaeda affiliated individuals to extremist organizations.
-- some Republican lawmakers say had the effect of minimizing the -- of terrorists in the consulate attack.
The initial public talking points which were put together in an unclassified -- -- at the request of the House Intelligence Committee.
Initially did state that that al-Qaeda affiliated groups.
Were involved.
However by the time that it's and we understand that went through his editing process after it left Langley.
That reference was taken out.
Lawmakers say the CIA talking points went through an inter agency review process including the intelligence agencies as well as -- Justice Department's.
The talking points -- edited but -- -- in the intelligence community including Petraeus could explain who was responsible for the final version.
Senior Democrats -- ambassador rice who appeared on five Sunday talk shows -- five days after the attack was working from the approved unclassified memo.
Thank -- not be greater discrepancy is because the intelligence was.
-- she used the unclassified.
Talking points that were signed off -- by the entire intelligence community.
So criticisms.
About her.
Are completely.
The leadership of the Senate Intelligence Committee disagreed over whether ambassador rice in the administration had politicized the CIA talking points.
She went beyond me and she even mentioned it under the leadership of Barack Obama.
We -- decimated al-Qaeda.
Where she needed that morning that I that was very like very responsible.
And hard floor and holes for the -- investors didn't.
I really -- ambassador rice yeah.
A congressional source tells Fox News -- ambassador rice had access to both classified and unclassified information.
And if she could have easily if found that the by September 14.
The FBI based on interviews to determine that there was no protest at the consulate before the attack -- Catherine -- on Capitol Hill.

I spent it on Skype...
I spent it on Skype...
I was in a crowded square as people shoved each other either trying to get a crappy view of the firework show or trying to get out after seeing how crappy it was.
Not that exciting or exhilarating.
Though the night did go up from there.
On the 12th ring of the bell i was activating a party popper whilst holding a half full flute of Veuve Cliquot. The next 20 minutes were all in slow motion.
I have such a good memory. Happy new year everyone! <3
Bluuue moooon.
I found myself jumping out of my skin at the sound of fireworks as soon as the clock struck twelve.
And that's how I'll spend the rest of my year. Terrified.
My first few minutes of 2013 were spent watching Predators. And if the upcoming year is anything like how it came about, I'm going to shoot myself.
Yo how the hell do you type all those characters with one hand foxes? For realz.

Comments about Wilsons Leather Marc New York Lamb Jacket w/ Double-Collar & Open-Bottom:
Picture does not do it justice. Fit and finish are very nice quality. Very soft lamb leather. This is the only coat that has adjustable wrist cuffs, that are not cut up the sleeve to let air in. It is also adjustable around the waist fellas. Fur on hood is very comfy and warm without being too much and restricting neck movement. Extra pockets on the inside and bounus up top on the outside are plus's. Quilted lining is not removable and for me is a plus, due to my last one having a serious zipper issue after one use. Stylish layers are also not given justice in the picture of the back of the jacket. Don't hesitat, is very nice.

We've been doing this website for 11 years and have had trivia from the start. Today, for the first time ever, I just plain forgot to do trivia!! I woke up at 3am thinking it was Monday for some reason (there's no trivia Monday's). Finished doing the taxes, then finished watching the review copy of Sherman's March and started a review. Put together a slide show for it. Spent some time trying to come up with a new design for the homepage, and remembered I hadn't checked my e-mail for hours. Lo and behold, a mass of e-mail asking why no trivia! Ran back to Laurie and asked what day it was. She looked at me like I was nuts and said Tuesday. So you want to know why there's no trivia today? Because I'm an idiot |

Speaking of taxes, this could affect some of you... IRS Gives April 16 Storm Victims Additional 48 Hours to File Income Tax Returns IR-2007-89, April 16, 2007 WASHINGTON — Victims of the major storm affecting several Northeastern states on Monday, April 16 will have two additional days to file their tax returns beyond the April 17 tax deadline, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. Taxpayers directly impacted by the storm have until midnight April 19 to meet their tax filing obligations without incurring late filing and payment penalties. Across the Northeast, there have been power outages and public transportation problems making it difficult in some cases, if not impossible, for some taxpayers and tax professionals to meet the April 17 filing deadline. "Because this unusually forceful storm hit within 24 hours of the filing deadline, we are giving affected taxpayers 48 additional hours," IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson said. Affected taxpayers can mark their paper tax returns with the words "April 16 Storm." Taxpayers who e-file their returns can use their software's "disaster" feature, if available. Taxpayers can keep up to date by visiting the IRS.gov Web site and clicking on "Newsroom." |

Sam, Now you have me in a panic. I know who I awarded the prize to, but after you posted this I went back to look at the contestants, and I think I may have been in error. Give me a day to try to find some mail receipts. I can assure you if I was in error, the "real" winner will get a prize as well. I'm pretty sure David W. got the college prize (right DW?) Anyway, give me a day to check things and I'll get to the bottom of it... |

UPDATE 2/19/13 @ 11:55 p.m.
DUNBAR, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Dunbar City Council approved an ordinance Tuesday that forces property owners to either fix up vacant and rundown buildings or sell them.
The owners will have to pay a yearly fee until the buildings are cleaned up.
Officials have said the empty buildings are a breeding ground for crime and a black hole for public funds, requiring lots of attention from the police and fire departments.
The ordinance is an amendment to the city's Home Rule law.
It goes into effect in 45 days.
"We have a lot of vacant buildings in this city and we've spent a lot of money trying to take care of these vacant buildings," Mayor Jack Yeager said.
Officials say the empty buildings are a breeding ground for crime and a black hole for public funds, requiring lots of attention from the police and fire departments.
That's why they're planning to impose an annual fee on abandoned building owners that neglect to improve or sell their property.
"We're passing the ordinance so that we can require those building owners to share in the cost of providing fire protection and police protection for those buildings," Yeager said.
The ordinance is modeled after one passed in Wheeling, W.Va. three years ago. Officials there say they've seen the number of nuisances drop since then.
Dunbar City Council will vote on the ordinance in two weeks. A public hearing will be held before the meeting.
Officials say it's unclear right now how much the owners would have to pay.

Chimp's NFL Week 10 Pick Em
Well last week was pretty freakin average. We went 7-6, although truthfully, I would've changed my Indy -9 pick as I found out about their injuries on their D later in the week, but ya can't cry over spilled milk. We were perfect on the Locks of the Week and Upset Specials making our records in those 5-4 and 3-6 respectively and 67-59 overall. Not bad, but we're going to try to widen that gap a little bit more this week. Lets get on to it, shall we? As always, all lines are from TheGreek. Hot cheerleader is Stacy from the Philadelphia Eagles. Scroll to the bottom if you want to skip to the Upset Special and the Lock of the Week.*
Jacksonville at NEW YORK JETS -7
I was soooo close to taking the Jags and the points in this game because i figured this one could be a close one, then I find out that MJD might have a gimpy knee. Oh dear. Well, while I am a fan of Liberty's own Rashad Jennings, MJD is the heart and soul of the Jags. They go as he goes…well and how David Garrard goes too i guess…and maybe how their defense goes as well but that is neither here nor there. Since MJD might be hurting, I am gonna go ahead and pick the J-E-T-S to come out of their slumpage and kick the Jags down a notch. Its not like the Jaguars defense can really stop any of the Jets running backs anyway and the Sanchize should be able to not screw this game up. A touchdown, at home, should be plenty for the Jets to win by.
CINCINNATI +7 at Pittsburgh
So these two teams played each other back in September and the score was 23-20 with the Bengals winning. Cinci was a 3.5 point underdog in that game at home, double that and that is what they are on the road in Steelertown. I think this one is a close one. The Bengals and the Steelers are both playing some terrific defense and both are moving the ball down the field on offense. Unless the Steelers D goes nuts on Carson Palmer's knee, this one isn't going to be decided by more than 4 points. Take the Bengals.
Guess who is back? T.E. in the hizzy yo! You know what that means? Why it means the Bills have no chance at all at winning this game. Well, ok, they do have a slight chance at winning if their ball hawking defense comes to play and picks off Vincent Young a few times. But it really doesn't matter who wins this game really because I am going for the totals here. I dont anticipate this game having a lot of points. Do you really expect the Titans to score over 30 points for the 3rd week in a row? I certainly don't. Vinsanity has to come back to earth, Trent Edwards is lookin more like Trent Green with his concussion issues, and both teams will be grinding it out on the ground as much as they can. Take the Under here, its the safe pick for sure.
DETROIT +16.5 at Minnesota
Jesus, that is a lot of points for the Vikings to cover. Sure it is at home and Stafford just had a 5 INT game, but there is no way I can pick a team to cover that many points. Its difficult to imagine that the books are getting equal action on this one, but their loss is your gain. The Vikings defense is not playing well enough now to beat the Lions by 17 points, garbage time will screw them on that for sure. Take the Lions and watch the game pretending that the Lions already have a 16 point lead. Trust me, it'l make it a TON more enjoyable to watch.
ATLANTA -1 at Carolina
This might be the toughest game to pick this week. Both of these teams are impossible to figure out to me. At some times Matt Ryan is a world beater while others it he is just beating himself. The Panthers, meanwhile, are now somehow winning games without any passing game whatsoever. They should just try to be like Navy and never pass the ball, ever. Its worked pretty well for them, I don't see why the Panthers can't give it a shot. Can't be any worse really because how can you trust Jake Delhomme at this point in his career? How bad must the backup quarterbacks be on this team if they are still playing Delhomme? I have no idea who is gonna win this, on paper (my papers at least), the Falcons should win, so I am just gonna go with that and pray it comes true.
TAMPA BAY +10 at Miami
Miami should win this game, hammering the ball at the Bucs with their corps of running backs and if Tampa was smart, they would be doing the same thing in return. However, there is no way I think Miami wins this one by more than 10. If Tampa could put the smack down on Green Bay, certainly they can keep up with Miami. Least I think so…and that is what is important, right? RIGHT?
KANSAS CITY +2 at Oakland
This is a matchup of two of the must brutal offenses in the league. This is NOT a marquee mathchup any stretch of the imagination. I dont even want to pick it really. I really care so little about this game. You shouldn't watch, you shouldn't bet on it, but if you do, just take the Chiefs. I dont ever, EVER like Oakland as a favorite.
Seattle at ARIZONA -9
I've done pretty well this year picking against the mighty Seahawks and I am hoping this won't end now. The Cards are coming on strong, picking up momentum as the season progresses and I think they will romp over the Seahawks this week. The 'hawks just don't have enough on defense to slow down the prolific attack of the Cards.
The one good thing about the Seahawks is Matt Hasselbeck and watching him on the NFL Network's Sound FX. This guy is a fucking riot. Listening to him on the field, you can completely tell that 1) He knows Seattle is going nowhere this season and 2) He can just have fun this season because if he took it seriously he might actually kill himself. You can tell that he honestly doesn't give a damn anymore. Its brilliant television. If you get the NFL Network, dvr/watch Sound FX for last week's games, its totally worth it for this guy. Anyway, the Seahawks have beaten the Rams, Jags and Lions…no way they are winning this week, take the Cards and the points.
Philadelphia at SAN DIEGO -1
Last time Phily went out to the west coast they got beaten by the lowly Oakland Raiders. I don't think this week will be much different…except that San Diego is actually starting to play really good football right now. Attribute this spread to the mighty EAST COAST BIAS and the lie that is the strength of the NFC East. Take the Chargers and let Marmalad/Kinglaserface take you to victory.
DALLAS -3 at Green Bay
Oh, see what i just wrote about the NFC East right there…well it doesn't apply to this game. The Packers are a team in some serious trouble right now. Their offensive line is horrrrrrrrrrrible and Aaron Rogers isn't helping things right now by not getting out of the way of all the defensive players that are sacking him. Even though the skill players are still putting up crazy good fantasy points, the team as a whole is not playing so well right now. The Cowboys, on the other hand, look to be gelling at the right time. Miles Austin is a revelation. That crazy toothed mofo can get open, run real fast and actually hold onto the ball. All the things that receivers should do, but so, so many of them dont. Look at Roy Williams, Ted Ginn and the entire Washington Redskins receiving corps and so many others for proof of that. Stick with what works, the power running and Miles Austin and Dallas should cover 3 points on the road here easy.
New England at INDIANAPOLIS -3 (+105)
CLASH OF THE TITANS! GAME OF THE YEAR! GAME OF THE MONTH! GAME OF OUR LIVES! This game is SO BIG they should put Pat Summerall and John Madden back together and reanimate Howard Cosell's lifeless, dead and buried corpse to be the world's creepiest sideline reporter EVER. Way creepier than Pam Oliver's fivehead. Two of the douchiest quarterbacks ever in one EPIC BATTLE for AFC DOMINATION.
There are only 2 real good games this week, Cinci/Pittsburgh is one and this is the other and both are only AFC teams. The AFC playoffs are going to be so much more entertaining than the NFC games or the Super Bowl. Because of this, I think we should celebrate the AFC playoffs the way we normally celebrate the Super Bowl and celebrate the Super Bowl the way we normally celebrate the Pro Bowl, because in reality, it is going to be about as meaningful as that game. Whomever wins the AFC Championship is pretty much the best team in the league. At least reanimated Howard Cosell would say so…or something like "mmmMMRRRUURRGGGH!"
Anyway, I think it is possible that the Patriots are just dickish enough to end the Colts winning streak right here and leave Peyton Manning to look like, well, Peyton Manning, but I cannot resist a juicy line like the one I have above. Taking the favorite, giving points, but getting odds…I love it. People are on the Pats 2 to 1 in this one, but the line has been pretty steady at -3. I think the Colts D is getting stronger every week and Peyton is playing football as if he were Neo in the Matrix, everything is just slow for him. They stay unbeaten, take the Colts.
Baltimore at CLEVELAND +10
Baltimore has been looking pretty average as of late and this week the Derek Anderson show is over with Brady Quinn starting for the Browns. 10 points is an awful lot for the Ravens to score on the road, even though the Browns really have no defense whatsoever. This is a horrible Monday night game and ESPN should be pissed that it is on their schedule, especially with the Sunday Night game looking to be like the NBC's Battle of the NFL Network Superstars. Just take the home dog and immediately hop in the shower to wash away the shame you will have for betting this game…and you will bet it. Its Monday Night Football, you are going to either try to cap your winning week off with a big win, or try to recoup your losses from all the other games you listened to me on. We all know this and you know this. Just admit you have a problem and that is the first step on the road to recovery.
New Orleans at ST. LOUIS +13.5
My spidey sense was tingling last week with the Saints and I was right, they didn't cover in a game they clearly should have…but I didn't listen to it, much to my dismay. I'm not making the same mistake this week. Plus, while looking over the numbers on this one, pretty much 99% of the action is on the Saints to cover…yet the line either hasn't moved or has gone DOWN from 14 points. What does that tell you people? It tells you that the Rams are the play here with out a doubt. I don't exactly know how this is going to go down…but it will…and you will reap the benefits from it.
DENVER -3.5 at Washington
Since I told myself that I could never bet on Washington again the rest of the season, this is the most obvious pick on the board. Amazingly, betting against Washington for the season has worked out quite well. As a matter of fact if you only bet against Washington all season, you would actually be up a considerable amount of money. The Redskins have beat the spread once, against Carolina, when they lost by 3 points instead of 5. They actually pushed their first game of the season, losing to the Giants by just 6 points. The other 6 games the Redskins have played this year, they failed to cover their end of the bargain. Fading the Redskins is the only way to gamble people! You would be 6-1-1 if you did this! So why go against the grain? Fade them again this week, take the Broncos who should easily cover 3.5 points against this woeful Redskins squad.
*Deuce of Davenport is only doing this column for entertainment purposes only, you'd be a fool to actually follow any of this advice and/or these picks. We accept no responsibility for anyone actually gambling with these picks.
