    610 AM was discussing something earlier that always struck me as a little funny. When Houston first introduced the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championship they focused the advertising on players such as Agassi, Sampras, Roddick, and Gambill. Gambill?? Who the **** is that?? Then they show some bare chested guy playing tennis with Mattress Mac yelling at the top of his lungs, HOUSTON JUST GOT HOTTER!! Well whatever does it for ya Mac. There is nothing like seeing billboards of a bare chested Gambill all over Houston to make you want to go and watch some tennis.

    The funny thing is I don't think Gambill has ever made it out of the first round of the Men's Clay Court Championships. He sure didn't this year. He loss today in straight sets to the well known Luis Horna. Yet he still gets pub for the advertisements promoting this Championship.

    Check out Gambill's profile for some additional douche bag info...

    Blame Matress Mac for the Gamble hype back then.

    Now they've wised up and he's barely mentioned.

    WTF?:confused: This is stupid. So it's ok for tennis promoters to use Anna K to hype a tournament, but the use of Gambill makes him a douche bag?


    A little homophobic there, Shady, or is it some other latent obsession showing?

    I've got nothing wrong with Mac's advertising except for one small problem: THIS GUY IS A UTAH JAZZ FAN!!!

    Why do I get the feeling that this wasn't a direct quote and had to be cleaned up quite a bit by a publicist before posting on his profile.

    Forgive me for not being properly informed about my feminine hygiene packaging, but I always thought that douche came in bottles...

    Isn't the ol' "hot water bottle" more of a rubber bag? They used those back in the day. I remember seeing it hung up in my moms bathroom.

    Thanks for the image. :(
