Former New York Giants' Amani Toomer's Newly Renovated 50K Home Theater

Who spends 50K on a time-crunched two week renovation of a home theater they're not even going to use? If you'd asked us this question ten minutes ago, we would have laughed in disbelief and said 'No one!' But as it turns out, former New York Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer did just that.

Wanting to watch this year's Super Bowl in style, he hired designer Todd Anthony Puma and doled out big bucks on completely new furniture and electronics, including a dynamic system that links the sound to the audio, so that when the music gets louder the lights get brighter, and when the sounds get softer the dimmers are triggered.

Good for him! I'm glad he can have this nice theater. I suppose the occupiers would say he should have given them the money.
