Mattress Mack trolled Dak Prescott with some ‘advice’ after losing his $2 million bet on the Cowboys

Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale is an incredible business man. He’s not a very good sports bettor.

The biggest reason his bets fall flat is because the majority are placed on Texas-based teams. Sometimes it works out, like when the Houston Astros won last year’s World Series, netting him the largest payout in U.S. sports betting history. Most of the time, though, the bets lose, like when TCU got blown out in the national championship, or Sunday, when the Dallas Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers.

Mack had $2 million riding on the game, and he didn’t take the loss lying down. He had a message for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott on how to get better results.

“Hey, Dak, Mattress Mack here. I just lost $2 million, but I’ve got some advice for you: get rid of that Sleep Number mattress and get a Tempur-Pedic. You’ll get much better results,” Mack said in an obvious shot at Prescott’s play and his Sleep Number partnership.

If there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about mattresses, it’s Mack (though I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a Tempur-Pedic partner). But I’m not sure pot should be lecturing kettle when his own track record is shaky.

One thing we can all agree on is Prescott needed to play better. At least Mack is still rocking the quarterback’s jersey proudly.
