Three days after the New York Times reported that Representative Charlie Rangel rents four rent-stabilized apartments in Harlem, Rangel's neighbor, Governor David Paterson, unveiled this public service announcement on the topic of housing for non-rich people, featuring actor Edward Norton, and two others featuring former Giant Tiki Barber and former Met (briefly) Mo Vaughn.

Paterson’s office said the ads began airing on July 14. In an press release announcing the ads, Paterson’s office said the objective is “to promote the continued development of affordable housing in communities throughout New York State. The PSAs are part of a larger campaign – Affordable Housing Works – which touts attractive and high quality affordable housing developments across New York State.”

Giants O Needs a Barber

CHARLES CURTIS

How ironic that on a night that Tiki Barber used halftime to revisit his stinging comments regarding Eli Manning’s leadership last August, the Giants lost 22-10 in a game in which they needed him the most.  read more »

The most important thing for the Giants, one supposes, is that they won.

Their sloppy, rain-soaked 13-10 win in London allows them to go into a bye week having extended their win streak to six, thanks to a hard-working running game and a hard-hitting defense.

But the way in which they prevailed over a truly bad Dolphins team made one continuing problem glaringly obvious: Eli Manning. Manning completed only eight of his 22 passes for a mere 59 yards. (Yes, 59 yards.)  read more »

Who's winning the battle of the front pages?

Well, they're not exactly identical. The Post goes assertive: bigger wood, punchier text, starker layout. The Daily News goes informative: a long, narrative subhead and a blurry, newsier photo that shows the explosive vest. Each tab is being true to itself.

In other front-page elements, the News makes room for the Murder Inc. trial and the Post does its most tasteful and judicious Post Poker promo to date--good moves for both. Again, there's no clear loser here.

So to break the tie, let's flip 'em over:

Aren't headlines supposed to have some relationship to the photos? The Post's "crying shame" subhead appears to refer to the News' picture of Tiki Barber with his face buried in a towel; the News' "PURPLE DAZE" is riffing off the Vikings' uniforms, which are nowhere to be seen. Couldn't anybody find a shot of Eli Manning chasing Darren Sharper disconsolately downfield on that 92-yard interception runback?

Still, the News wins the overtime coin toss, because its subhead tells the game story better (though the Giants defense might quibble with "collapse on all fronts"). Then, with the Post giving up yards and yards of territory to its Jets-pin promotion, the News marches downfield and lines up for a field goal. It's up...and--"BUMBLING JETS CRUSHED"--it's good! Right down the pipe! The Daily News is the sudden-death winner! Winner: Daily News Overall standings: Daily News 10, New York Post 7
