GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 This is more of a Jay Bilas, NBA Draft thing, but: "Upside potential" bothers me. To say a player has "upside" is enough, Jay. It necessarily implies the player is mostly potential at that point. No need for the redundancy. I hate when people crap on the language like that. That is, unless, he's trying to make the point the possibility exists that a player might turn into a guy who may develop into something special?!? Stupid Duke alum... To make it worse (better?), sometimes he adds "tremendous" to the front, creating the always baffling, sometimes entertaining "tremendous upside potential."
dollars 2 donuts Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Two Night references, can't remember who said them: "He can turn off the lights and be in bed before it gets dark." "He can catch a beebee at midnight during a new moon."
