Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale is officially entering the sports journalism space with the launch of gallerysports.com, a news site covering “everything in Texas and Louisiana sports.” Contributors to the site include former Houston Chronicle staffers John McClain, Richard Justice and John P. Lopez, according the Houston Chronicle‘s Matt Young.

McInvgale told Young that the site will eventually be joined by a Gallery Gaming site focusing on sports betting news and information-all of which have the goal of funneling readers toward Gallery Furniture stores.

“I’ve always had an interest in sports and son [James] and I like content that will drive customers to Gallery Furniture,” McIngvale told Young.
