The massive sale closed in November, as first reported by TMZ. It's good for the third-highest transaction in the coastal city this year, trumped only by entertainment executive Ron Meyer selling his Pacific Coast Highway contemporary compound for $100 million and Golden State Warriors majority owner Joe Lacob buying a modern Carbon Beach abode for $29.1 million over the summer.
BEREA, Ohio -- On the doorstep of breaking the NFL's single-season sack record, Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett said it would be "special" to get the record-breaking takedown in Sunday's home finale against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Garrett, who has 22 sacks this season, is a half-sack away from tying the single-season record shared by Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt, and a full sack away from breaking the single-season mark.
"Very different game situationally," Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said Friday. "He diced us up here, unfortunately. Now, Garrett Wilson and Davante (Adams) had a little something to do with that. Up there, it didn't help that they were blasting that Kansas City-Denver score on the scoreboard, and it was about 28-3 before the end of the first quarter. I'm sure that didn't help the morale of our guys."
Rodgers purchased the Oneida manse (located about 20 minutes from the Packers' Lambeau Field home turf) for $1.7 million in 2015. The four-bedroom, seven-bathroom stone home, built in 2003, boasts a library; a gourmet chef's kitchen outfitted with luxury appliances; a butler's pantry; and hand-hewn hickory flooring. On the 10,500-square-foot residence's lower level is the recreational zone of any game lover's dreams, complete with a billiards room, an arcade, a gym, and a bar.
"He's the best that ever played this game, man," Valdes-Scantling said. "So it's pretty easy when you got that guy under center and just being on the same page. We built a great rapport over the four years that we got to play together, and he's one of my closest friends in this NFL thing that I've ever made. He's taught me a lo"
Pittsburgh held a 16-7 lead at halftime, but then was outscored 28-9 in the second half as Green Bay poured it on. Sunday marked the 72nd time the Steelers had led by at least nine points at halftime under coach Mike Tomlin -- they had never lost such a game by double digits until Sunday. It is Green Bay's second-largest win after trailing entering the fourth quarter in franchise history.
It all started so well. And then it fell apart. For two quarters, it looked like Aaron Rodgers might conjure one of those nights, the sort that ends with a smirk, a wink, and a reminder that he can match any of the league's young pups. It was the first time in his career that he played against Green Bay, where he spent nearly two decades, won four MVPs and a lone Super Bowl. But the NFL rarely cares for nostalgia.
"We're playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, who happen to have Aaron Rodgers," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Monday. "It's as simple as that. That is for you guys to talk about. Granted, I mean, we've got a lot of love and respect for Aaron. What he's done here, I mean, he's a Hall of Famer. And I know like our past together, we had a lot of great moments, but this game is not about that."
Kenneth Gainwell ran for 99 yards and two touchdowns and the Pittsburgh Steelers held on to beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 on Sunday in Ireland's first regular-season NFL game. DK Metcalf had five catches for 126 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown for the Steelers, who improved to 3-1 going into their bye week. The Steelers' victory gave quarterback Aaron Rodgers his first international win in front of a decidedly pro-Steelers crowd of 74,512 at Croke Park.
