    Good to see FedEx kept his upside up.

    The downside, for me, is that I have no idea what’s up with an athlete’s upside.

    Cartoons about sports might as well be upside down, for all the sense they make to me.

    Doesn’t look like his skills are well-rounded.

    Seems like there’s always a “Don” in sportscaster jokes.

    I think it’s the UPSide that’s being stressed by FEDX cartoon. I once had a UPS guy say to me – “you know what they’d call a merger between FedEx & UPS? FEDUP”

    From the size of his upside, it looks like he could knock his opponents on their backsides! Of course, I’m sure that he has trouble thinking outside the box. And from the size of him, I have to wonder if William “The Refrigerator” Perry is cooling his heels in there…………

    There also has to be a downside to all this

    “upside” is basically when a drafted player has a lot of potential. it is frightfully overused in place of actually commentary

    Good information, information…but I believe it was intended for me, not for Redkaycei.

    I think he got that part…. but I didn’t know what it meant. Thanks.
