A warning to Chronicle print subscribers

[OzzO]

So apprently, Holly F. is a real person. Mattress Mac and him seem to be on the same.. umm page.... yeah.

....One man, season ticket-holder Holly Frost, spent thousands of dollars for a full-page ad in last Sunday's Chronicle to beseech the Texans to select Young with the top pick in Saturday's NFL draft. He admonished them for "not taking calculated risks to get much better" and for taking "the easy way out" with Southern California running back Reggie Bush, whom conventional wisdom considers the best offensive prospect in this year's draft.

"I've been looking at players coming out (of college) for 20 years trying to decide which ones are going to make it," said Frost, 61, who founded Texas Memory Systems, a company specializing in computer memory storage, 27 years ago. "As near as I can tell, Vince Young looks like the best player with the biggest potential I've ever seen. From my humble point of view, it's a no-brainer....

Not much to add to the 6 existing pages, except....






Saturday is gonna be a great people watching day.

C'mon Saturday!! (this will not be for the faint of heart)

im McIngvale, owner of Gallery Furniture and one of the Texans' most prominent corporate sponsors, hasn't written in, but he's not a bit bashful about sharing his thoughts. A former Longhorn who was at the Rose Bowl for the BCS championship game, McIngvale said he doesn't know Frost but noted they're kindred spirits. McIngvale is in the process of buying a two-page ad to run in Thursday's Chronicle.

hmm with the rumor of bush being signed, I wonder if he will change his mind or just throw his money away

It's in there today. Full page color photo of Vince on page C2 running to glory with the words "Please Pick Vince" across the top. On the facing page is another full pager titled "Perfect 10" with a bunch of fan letters reprinted from the Feb '06 edition of Texas Monthly.

Not sure if it's fan letters on the other side, glanced at them and it looked like letters back and forth among two guys.... but it was pretty small type and I'm sure whatever they noted in that is the same thing already said numerous times on the MB.

Interesting Mac spent the money for a full page color ad on page 2 even... that had to be some jack. Guess the Gallery sales folk will be extra busy working the next few days to pay off that.

Great. Now I know why I pay 30% interest on my sofa.

Now I am all about letting people throw away there money and express there opinion. Fine, Jimmy wants young. Good for him. Threaten to pull your sponcership cus you are trying to strongarm the orginization, or pull your sponcership cus you are acting like a whiny little who-haw, I will shop somewhere else and overpay for a foot stool.

Whether you are a fan of Young's or not we are still Texan fans and nobody, and I do mean nobody, Messes with Texans.

Well said. I'm not going to be shopping Gallery any time soon. I don't want to have any part in paying for this foolishness.

You won't be overpaying elsewhere. Gallery Furniture being cheaper than the competition in like merchandise is a myth. It's under the "say something enough times, and everyone will eventually believe it" catagory. Mack is akin to Barnum, who once said there is a sucker born every minute. Even funnier was his "solid wood" phase. Anyone who works in the furniture industry will tell you that in general solid wood furniture is not as good a quality as a good veneer, but it just sounds good and he capitalized on it. I mean SOLID wood HAS to be better right? WRONG. 1000% wrong. Look at a solid wood and high quality veneer dining room table 20 yrs after purchase, and tell me if solid wood is still better. I'm glad that people are finally seeing this guy for what he is, instead of the hero worship I constantly see.

And another thing about soild wood furniture. Ever try to carry a solid wood piece of furniture up a flight of stairs?
