Remembering CC Sabathia’s Project

As I was going over content for the blog, the new website has options for YouTube posts. This here is the MTV video feature of the CC Sabathia home, after completing an extensive install, including full-blown home theater, lighting, pool/spa, shades, security, and overall bling. The episode is paired with another celebrity, so forward the video to 14:00 (14 minutes to those who are technically challenged).   Feel free to post your comments
