I'd sooner sleep on the floor than buy a mattress from that clown. That said, there is no doubting his business savvy. ANYTHING to get his name out there.
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/3167316 Mattress Mack offers to pay Jeff Van Gundy's fine HOUSTON — First, Houston Rockets center Yao Ming offered to pick up half of coach Jeff Van Gundy's $100,000 fine from the NBA. Now, Gallery Furniture store owner Jim McIngvale says he would like to pay the fine the NBA gave Van Gundy after the coach's accusation that officials are targeting Yao this postseason. "I would be willing to pay the $100,000 fine that the NBA levied against Mr. Van Gundy because I just admire him for standing up for his employees," McIngvale told Houston television station KRIV on Tuesday. McIngvale said he knows some will laugh at his offer and see it as nothing but a publicity stunt. "I've got the $100,000 and I'm ready to pay it. I like coach Van Gundy because he does the right thing whether it's popular or not. I'm ready to pay it because he stood up for employees. I think it's great." Van Gundy told the station he wouldn't comment until speaking to McIngvale. McIngvale, who also owns the Westside Tennis Club, said if the NBA had a problem with his offer, then he'd just ask Van Gundy to make an appearance at his store and pay him the $100,000. ADVERTISEM

WoW shirts and buttons... Allready have been made lol If Van Gundy wanted to run for Tom's Delay position he might actually get it lol.
If Gallery Furniture didn't sell such hideous furniture I'd buy some too. Man, I'm way too metrosexual. I'm going to go cry about that now.
Hey, he's standing up for the Rockets! Don't be a hater...ease up. Anyway, he is a business man. Mac has lived the American dream and I can't fault him for that. Plus this is a Win-Win deal for everybody. 1. The NBA has made their point. 2. JVG stands up for his players. 3. Mac gets some publicity (and it ain't free). What's the big deal? You're just hating on him.
