Poor housing market affecting ex-Eagles

You can workout in this very driveway!

I'm sure we're all shedding massive amounts of tears for these two... but it appears Jevon Kearse and Terrell Owens have still not sold their Philly area residences.

In 2005, receiver Terrell Owens put 40 Landing Court on the market for even more than the Peetes' place: $4.4 million.

T.O. has since done a stint with the Dallas Cowboys and shuffled off to the Buffalo Bills.

His Jersey house remains for sale, however, the asking price down to $2.65 million.

Over a year ago, defensive end Jevon Kearse put his crib up for sale as well, asking $3.1 million.

The Tennessee Titan now wants $1,999,999.

At least "The Freak" is still asking more than the $1.8 million he paid. Not T.O. He originally forked over $3.4 million, according to reports.

So if you've got an extra 3 or 4 million and want to live in Moorestown... give TO or the Phreak a call!

my heart weeps for these two...

i’ll sell my townhouse in pottstown and move right into the old owens place so that he’ll be able to feed his family. sorry phreak, but i can’t afford both.

If I could afford it...

…I’d buy both, burn them down, piss on the ashes and videotape the entire affair to send to these losers. Well Jevon might be innocent, but definitely T.O.

but in fact, housing is one of the main ways that sports stars lose their money. I don’t shed any tears from TO, but these guys generally come from poor backgrounds and have about as much clue on finance as I do on how to play in the NFL. They all generally overpay for their housing and downturn or not they all generally sell their houses after their playing days are over for a loss.

The whole thing kind of makes me sad, in reality.

Not me … you know how I learned about finance … college … and I read … they have the same opportunity. I don’t feel bad at all if they got took for not educating themselves.

you mean they should have been going to those “class” things?

True, these guys generally all have college degrees. They had every opportunity to learn about finance.

If you think college teaches you much about personal finance...

you went to a different college than I did. Or anyone and everyone I know. I am an accountant and yet even I learned very little in the way of personal finance at school.

The problem is really in the fact that they come from families with little money and no learning of how to handle a huge amount of money. Throw in the fact that they are young and therefore nieve, and it’s a recipe for disaster, no matter how well they catch a ball.

that’s why I said “and I read” … coming from a family with little money is nothing more then an excuse. I’ve seen plenty of people come up from nothing and do great things. There are plenty of players out there who have managed there money wisely and would have no problem helping a young rook.

Any money issues someone making millions gets into stems from nothing more then ignorance.

I’ve noticed Eagles players buy mansions in south jersey, while Flyers players buy condos in center city…

Of course the Eagles practice in Philly and the Flyers practice in So. Jersey…

Hmm

Interesting. I think it has to do with the city wage tax, but I guess the Flyers don’t care.

That wouldn’t be an issue. You pay the wage tax if you work in the city, it doesn’t matter where you live.

if anyone wants to piss...

on TO’s house I’ll gladly give you directions. I live in Moorestown and his house is one of my favorite stops. I love to look it right before I go watch the Eagles play some playoff games.
