In terms of luxury homes owned by professional Athletes,
current Denver Broncos Quarterback, Peyton Manning has an absolutely beautiful
mansion in Cherry Hills, Colorado. His
home is valued at $4.5 million dollars and features a wine cellar, billiards room,
and home theater room. What is most
confusing to us is that his home theater looks like an average den or family
room. The room itself is classy and full
of grace, yet may be found in any upper middle-class American home.
As a career football player one would think that retired
Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway would want a simply amazing space to
relive the golden memories of six AFC Championships and two Super Bowl
victories, but it seems that his high-tech entertainment room is simply
ordinary. As a native Colorado
professional Home Theater retailer, we would love to give his entertainment
room a makeover.
Terry Bradshaw, former quarterback for the Pittsburgh
Steelers listed his $9.9 million dollar Oklahoma 7500 square foot ranch home
which sits on 650 Acres of beautiful Oklahoma land. This rustic home features 6 bedrooms, 6
bathrooms, and 2 partial bathrooms with an array of relaxation options like a pool,
tennis courts, a barn, an exquisite outdoor grilling arena and a simple entertainment
room. We got a good look at the listing
for his home couple of years ago, and it doesn't look like this house has a
home theater either! The former
athlete's photographed entertainment room consisted of a billiards and gaming
table, coupled with a fully equipped old-fashioned juke box.
Joe Montana, a legend in the history of the Notre Dame
Fighting Irish, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs listed his
500 acre Tuscan-Style Napa Valley estate for a whopping $49 million dollars
which remained on the market at that price from 2010 until 2012. We scoured the web but could not find a
single photograph of an entertainment room or home theater on this
property.
We are a bit confused.
We assumed that someone who loves the game as much as they do would need
the prestige, comfort, and bragging rights of a luxurious home theater fully
adorned with relics and mementos of their successful careers. So why do so many star NFL Quarterbacks have
meager home theaters?
Our best guess is that life on the field has given them a
unique perspective. Rather than
sitting back and watching the game, they prefer to live it.
