What are you talking about? Black men entertainers and athletes will continue to get taken advantage of by black women as long as they're only thinking about sex when they meet black women. So they need to stop complaining about black women taking a lot of their money when they can't figure out after several weeks of dating that the black women they're meeting are golddiggers.

-Kearse house in foreclosure

Former Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse is facing foreclosure on his Pompano Beach, Fla., home according to the South Florida Business Journal.

Kearse bought the house for just over $6 million in 2004, the year he left the Titans to sign a $65 million package with the Eagles. He later took out a mortgage on the home for just over $5 million.

Kearse was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in leading the Titans to the Super Bowl in 1999, and he later appeared in a Super Bowl in his first year with the Eagles.

The Eagles released him after the 2007 season, and he returned to Tennessee to play two more seasons with the Titans.

Why do you find it funny when people go broke?

check two · 02-08-2013, 09:30 PM

I don't feel that sorry for people who brag or flaunt about having riches and then somehow lose it all.

hectis · 02-08-2013, 09:56 PM

But not all of them do that

AI needs to take any job he can get at this point

Former NBA star Allen Iverson isn't having a good week. First, a judge skewered him Tuesday for bad parenting skills, and now he's lost his giant Atlanta mansion to foreclosure. Iverson's nearly 10,000-square-foot home on Atlanta's exclusive West Paces Ferry Road had been on the market for $2.5 million, but it was sold at auction Tuesday back to Georgia Primary Bank, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Iverson built the home for $4.5 million in 2009 and lived there with his wife and five kids, but he and his wife recently divorced. A current listing on the house shows the asking price at $2.8 million.

Don't think this is the first time Iverson has lost a home to foreclosure. Back in 2011, when he was shooting for the Denver Nuggets, Iverson also lost his posh $3.875 million Cherry Hills, Colo., mansion to foreclosure after defaulting on the mortgage, according to the Denver Post. Luckily, a buyer had entered into contract to buy the home before Iverson defaulted, the Post said.

Iverson's Atlanta home is quite the luxury estate, one you wouldn't expect to see on the auction block. The listing calls it "one of, if not the finest, private gated estates ever to become available in Atlanta." Iverson had sunk $4.5 million into building it with a custom bar, gourmet kitchen, master suite with "spa-like" bath and luxury accents such as copper gutters.

You would think after defaulting on his last two mortgages that this idiot would stop buying mansions.

-Robert Swift is refusing to abandon his bullet-ridden, beer can-strewn foreclosed house

CharlesJones · 02-23-2013, 03:37 PM

I agree with Check Two. I think it's funny also when athletes and entertainers lose their homes because these fools don't know how to manage money. You rarely hear about white entertainers and athletes losing their homes. I read about that clown Robert Swift at Yahoo.com today refusing to leave his home. His dumb ass is gonna get forced outta his house by the police and i know he probably doesn't care about the police coming to his house. LOL@Allen Iverson hahahahahahahahahaha. He's a ghetto nigga just like the majority of black NBA players and black NFL players who spend their money foolishly. I don't have no sympathy for them because there's no way you should hear about entertainers going broke.

Tectrus Moa · 02-24-2013, 08:34 AM

In a way, I sort of feel a little sorry for A.I.

What's going on in his head?

CharlesJones · 02-24-2013, 09:37 AM

Why do you feel sorry for Iverson? He's a dumb ass nigga who doesn't know how to save his money and pay his bills. I don't feel sorry for him.

If Iverson's a nigga, what're you?

CharlesJones · 02-26-2013, 04:22 AM

So just because i'm black and Iverson is black, i'm supposed to feel sorry for him? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

-Ex-NBA All-Star Chris Gatling accused of squatting in, trying to rent out Ariz. home

One-time NBA All-Star Chris Gatling faces criminal charges after Arizona police say he illegally occupied a Paradise Valley, Ariz., home for more than a year, and then tried to rent the place on Craigslist, according to the Arizona Republic:

Chris Gatling is accused of breaking into a key box and living in the home from July 2010 to August 2011. A police report says the homeowners lived in California but had left the power on.

The TV station reports that he later listed the four-bedroom house for rent for $800 and called it an “Ex-NBA” home online.

Court records say that Gatling got a down payment from one potential renter but that another got suspicious and contacted police.

Gatling’s attorney, Michael Alarid, said the case is a “misunderstanding.”

It very well could be. Everyone's innocent until proven guilty in this country, and besides, misunderstood stuff goes up on Craigslist all the time.

Gatling has also been accused of forging personal checks from his ex-girlfriend and "funneling the money through College Bound All-Stars, a traveling youth basketball league that Gatling managed and operated," according to Phoenix CBS affiliate KPHO-TV.

The Golden State Warriors selected Gatling, a 6-foot-10 forward/center, out of Old Dominion University with the 16th pick in the 1991 NBA draft, and he provided some low-post scoring and rebounding for a go-go 55-27 Don Nelson squad led by the brilliant guard play of Chris Mullin, Tim Hardaway and Sarunas Marciulionis. He performed ably as a reserve big man in Oakland for four years before being shipped off to the Miami Heat, a trade kickstarting a league-wide ramble that would see Gatling traded nine times and play for eight different NBA teams (he had two separate stints with Miami) over the course of an 11-year career that ended following the 2001-02 season.

He peaked as a member of the 1996-97 Dallas Mavericks, leading the team in scoring with 19.1 points per game off the bench and earning an All-Star berth despite only making one start (after his selection, in the team's final game before the All-Star break). Shortly after that honor, the Mavs promptly sent him east to the New Jersey Nets as part of a nine-player deal that sent Gatling, Sam Cassell, Jim Jackson, George McCloud and Eric Montross to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for Shawn Bradley, Ed O'Bannon, Robert Pack and Khalid Reeves. (Ah, '90s blockbusters!)

How did the Elizabeth, N.J., native respond to being traded to his home-state squad?

“I hope [the Nets] have the right kind of headbands,” he said, according to John Brennan of the Bergen Record. (Gatling liked headbands. Headbands were sort of his thing.)

Gatling isn't the only former NBA big man to find himself in some legal trouble related to home-occupancy issues. Last month, former Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder center Robert Swift was forced to leave his Seattle home, which he'd occupied (somewhat grossly and troublingly) despite it having gone into foreclosure.

LOL@Chris Gatling hahahahahahahahahaha. I saw footage on Youtube of former NBA player Antoine Walker doing a interview with Stephen A Smith and a white guy talking about how he lost all his money. He said people think he lost his money to gambling and he said that's not it. He said he lost money to bad real estate investments. But he also said he would spend money on his friends like paying for their meals at a restaurant, buying them clothes and buying their airplane tickets. What a idiot. He probably bought them drinks when he took them to the club too and he probably bought them cars LOL.
