Welcome to St. Jetersburg...

Just in time for spring training, Derek Jeter has completed the construction of his 31,000 square foot house in St. Petersburg Fla.
.
TMZ reports the place features two 3-car garages, a swimming pool, a billiards room, a memorabilia room, nine bathrooms and seven bedrooms.

And for a a mere $7.7 million, they even threw in her~~>

Not a bad deal. Here's what it looks like from the backyard.

Could Carmelo Anthony even find New Jersey on a map?

This isn't meant as a slight to Carmelo Anthony and his one year of a Syracuse education. In fact, I'd bet that most Americans who don't live there can't pinpoint New Jersey on a map (hint: it looks like your mailman).
.
If Carmelo Anthony doesn't want to play in New Jersey and prefers to play at Madison Square Garden, as a Knicks fan I say God Bless him.
.
But where the fuck does he think he's going to live if he ends up with either the Knicks of the Nets? New Jersey. Carmelo Anthony isn't going to live in a housing project in Bed Stuy. He isn't going to live in a rent controlled walkup building on 72nd and Lex.
.
Dude is going to live in a 10 bedroom mansion in Upper Saddle River or Alpine New Jersey, regardless of what team he ends up on. Maybe he gets a house in Greenwich Conn, or Westchester, N.Y. But if he wants a back yard with a pool, 10 bedrooms, a movie theatre and a 6 car garage, he's going to live in the suburbs.
.
He'll probably live across the street from CC Sabathia.

Deion Sanders feeling the heat of the Dallas housing market

Former Falcons, 49ers, Cowboys, Redskins and Ravens conerback (and who can forget his stint with the Yankees) Deion Sanders just can't seem to find a buyer for his $5.5 million, 29,122-square-foot estate. I'd say it is probably because his asking price is $21 million, and he hasn't lowered his price in two years. He'll never pay back that home equity loan...
.
See, Deion bought this house after signing that disasterous $56 million contract with the Redskins in 2000 (well disasterous for the Redskins anyway), and if nobody has informed Deion, the housing market - particularly in the Dallas Fort Worth area - has hit some rough times in the past few years. And after you buy a place, the value doesn't always increase, especially not for the high-end properties.
.
Here's the apprasial:

Don't get me wrong, its a dope crib. "The house sits on 109 acres, features a football field, an indoor basketball court, a bowling alley, 13 bathrooms, a 12-acre lake, nine covered parking spaces, five fireplaces, three dining rooms, two indoor pools and a partridge in a pear tree," according to Yahoo! Sports.

I'm no fan of any former Cowboys, 49ers or Reedskins, but Deion seems okay on the NFL Network. And I'm no real estate agent, but Deion, either cut bait and get what you can for it...Or take it off the market. But, of course, if you ever need a house sitter, KBilly is available!
