Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is a name that most people weren't familiar with a few years ago, but if you pay attention to sports betting you've likely heard of some of the big time bets he's been placing on major sporting events like the Super Bowl in the past few years.
After losing ten million dollars on this year's game betting on the Cincinnati Bengals, Mattress Mack called in to the Klein/Ally Show Tuesday morning. "I must admit the adrenaline was pretty high in the 4th quarter and there was a lot of disappointment when the Bengals didn't win. But the Rams earned the right and it took me about a half a millisecond to get over it. I went and got up the next morning on Monday, put my big boy britches on, and I'm back at work. I'm looking forward, not back."
Mattress Mack also had a message for Rams fans. "I'd like to say congratulations on a great win. Congratulations on being world champions. Certainly well-deserved and the game was exciting. From my point of view it didn't go the right way but I'm sure it did for everybody in Southern Cal so congrats to all y'all."
When Klein put the offer of a PPV boxing event between Mattress Mack and local mattress legend Larry Miller from Sit & Sleep, Mack said, "Tell Larry to bring his lunch because it's gonna be a long day!" Will we ever see this matchup? Only time will tell...
