High price tag for one football

Dan Marino is still trying to find a buyer for his home in Westin, Florida, so he’s trying a new game plan. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Hall of Famer has decided to throw in $1.5 million worth of designer furniture…and one signed football. Marino first listed the house about three years ago, and has since cut the asking price twice. Marino says that since most of his kids have left home, with the last one about to go to college he and his wife Claire want to downsize a bit from the 15 000 square foot Tuscan style villa. The house sits on four acres, and has ten bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, plus two half baths. In addition, you’ll also find two guest homes, a pool, a putting green and a five thousand bottle wine cellar. And of course, don’t forget about the signed football.

“No horse’s head required”

You may remember we told you recently that reality TV star, and mob boss daughter Victoria Gotti was facing foreclosure on her Long Island mansion. Well, apparently someone has made her a deal she can’t refuse. The New York Post reports that Gotti has made a deal allowing her to keep her home. Gotti claimed that her ex-husband, Carmine Agnello, took out a mortgage on the property without her knowledge or permission. She had been petitioning to get money he allegedly owed her from their divorce. Now a court has granted her permission to take control of and sell some of Agnello’s property to raise money to keep the mansion. Sounds more like someone made HIM a deal he couldn’t refuse, no horse’s head required.
