March 27, 2015The struggle to keep that edge: Cavs vs. Nets Behind the Box Score
March 28, 2015Maybe he’s serious about staying in Cleveland after all.
Less than a week after rumors emerged that Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam could conceivably swap the Browns for his home state Tennessee Titans, the Pilot Flying J truck stop magnate has put his Knoxville, Tennessee mansion up for sale, according to Realtor.com.
Haslam reportedly purchased the home in 1996 for $1.4 million. His property seems to have weathered the economic crisis well enough, as it can be had for the low, low price of $4.9 million.
The nearly 10,000-square-foot Knox County home boasts five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, four more half baths, a swimming pool, and lake access, among other amenities.
Per Realtor.com, listing agent Karlyn Reedy did plenty of research before putting the home on the market:
Listing agent Karlyn Reedy of Saddlebrook Realty told us she spent a lot of time at the library researching the home’s history before putting it on the market. She related the story of how local architect Charles I. Barber designed a handful of beautiful homes along the Tennessee River in the 1920s, this home being the “favorite.”
Reedy said this 17-room home is prized for its elegance, views, and location right along the bend of the river in the “most prestigious area in Knoxville.” Homes that offer a view of the winding river command a premium, and in this home “every window has a view.”
Haslam refuted the rumors that he was interested in trading the Browns for the Titans, and putting his Tennessee home up for sale seems to jibe with that.
If you have the necessary scratch, here’s the listing. We’ll even waive the finder’s fee if you promise to invite us to a pool party.

Wrong spin, Will. Never go positive with it. With the new potential LA franchise(s) on the horizon, he’s clearly selling in order to buy a home in SoCal. In fact, super high level sources not my cat say it’s likely that he’s interested in moving the Browns to LA.

La Canfora was just auditioning meow for Super Troopers 2 meow. You see he really loved meow the first and really meow the second.
I don’t think I realized that there were homes that nice so close to UTs campus. The main road there, Kingston Pike is “the strip” where all restaurants are at and cuts through basically the middle of campus. It can be had for only 25 grand a month too.
Maybe the sale is part of his paying off I mean back all the customers his company ripped off.
Still banging the Haslam-Titans drum? Come on guys, you’re better than this.
To call La Canfora’s fabrication a “rumor” is to elevate it to a status it never achieved or deserved. It’s not quite a hoax, but there is not one scintilla of truth to it. Never was. It is literally not worth mentioning. Ever again. Even taking the time to discount this bogus nonsense gives it credence it doesn’t deserve, since you feel it is worthy enough to be refuted. So can we please finally drop it? Please?
Let’s leave the inane gossip to the Twitter mouth-breathers and conspiracy nuts.
