http://www.tremendousupsidepotential.com/ - Tremendous Upside Potential focuses on the future stars of football, basketball, and baseball, and sometimes even Chicago sports teams.
Sunday, I face the ultimate football test: the Bears, forever my favorite team in sports, go up against Michael Turner, the brightest star on my star-crossed fantasy football team. As I explained yesterday , Turner is biggest reason I lead our league in points in a post-Tom Brady world. He has ...

So I generally suck at fantasy sports. In our baseball league this year, I finished last by a mile. I thought I'd be in for more of the same for football season once my top pick, Brady, went down eight minutes into the season. But powered by Michael Turner and Santana Moss, my football team ...

- It’s cool to see Sox fans basking in the positive vibes so quickly after elimination. I’m proud of the way my people have handled this. This team wasn’t supposed to capture its division, or rack up 89 wins. Remember, PECOTA projected the Sox to win only 77 games . I think it’s impossible to ...

The year's final White Sox Report at is up at The Beachwood Reporter . Thanks to Steve Rhodes for putting up with me all season. If you're interested in Chicago media at all, Beachwood is a must read every day. He does a great job over there. The only thing I'm pissed about is that he wouldn't ...

More roundups , because everyone loves roundups. The Sox are alive and kickin - The Sox did something they hardly ever do yesterday: they won a game of baseball without hitting a home run. I think we've all seen the stats. When the Sox don't homer, they usually don't win. In the most ...

- This was pointed out in the SouthSideSox game recap thread , but how about the cheap shot ESPN took at the Cubs? Seems like piling on to me -- and I thought we were bad over here yesterday. - Not too shabby of a game turned in by the White Sox today. They're giving us some more playoff ...

I will say this: between keeping Minnesota out of the playoffs, seeing a much, much better team go down like this, and coming in last place in 2007, this year gives fans of the Chicago White Sox little to complain about. That said, go Sox! Let's see if we can't take it to five... or at least ...

It's late and I'm tired so this is going to be quick... I said it right after the Game One disaster in Minnesota, and yesterday, The Cheat backed me up : Javy Vazquez won't be on this team next year. Say what you will about Ozzie and Kenny, but they won't tolerate pussies. Javier Vazquez is a ...

See, here’s the great thing about not having a boss: when you don’t feel like working, you don’t have to. I watched about seven total hours of baseball today and worked until 1:30 am. Right now, I don’t really feel like writing 800 words about why the Lions suck. So I’m not going to. The spread ...

I feel like we have a lot of hate here at TUP. Here’s a quick rundown: To hell with…. - the Cubs - Brett Favre - the Metrodome - the Miami Heat’s marketing department - white people - Mike Downey - Cedric Benson - Dan Shanoff - the Cubs - Brett Favre - the Metrodome In turn, ...

163 Here's the deal: I have class until 6:30. For whatever reason, this game starts at 6:35, not 7:11. I'll start the live blog as soon as I get home, though it may be a few minutes after first pitch, it depends when we get let out. Make sure you're here, and invite friends. A few extra notes ...

I’m not even sure what to say about
the happenings this weekend at The Cell. The Sox
came in knowing they controlled their own destiny, that a sweep of the Indians would at least give them a shot at a two-game playoff. Naturally the Sox lost the ...
I thought about rearranging the order of the site, putting the Bears post on top, but whatever. The Bears column is below this post so make sure you check that out as well. When I’m stuck at work during huge games, I sometimes write down my thoughts in my email so when I go to write the TUP ...

-- Sox post coming once I get out of work.-- Kyle Orton isn’t the reason the Bears have blown two consecutive fourth quarter leads. The second half he played against the Bucs last week may even have been the best of his career. But as I mentioned on Monday , while Orton may not be the reason ...

Potentially a new regular late-night Wednesday feature in these here parts... It's kind of list-y so I figured most of you would probably dig that...or not...whatever. I worked the night shift tonight, starting around 4 p.m. I spent the first three hours mistakenly eager for Sox-Twins. Yeah, ...

Not to pile on Javy or anything -- actually, yeah, to pile on Javy -- ESPN's Elias had this interesting stat following Vazquez's awesome outing in Minnesota... Javier Vazquez took the loss for the White Sox Tuesday night and is now 12-15. Over
the last 25 seasons only three American League ...

Really, Game One was over before it even began, right? The scenario: Ozzie challenges Javy... ''He hasn't been [a big-game pitcher], that's the bottom line.'' And Javy's response... ''You know what? It's not going to [change a lot of opinions] because
I'm really the type of guy that when I ...

Apparently somebody really wants to win that picture . For the first time all year, Arin has company in first place. After tying me for most points this week, legendary commenter Mike moved into a first place tie with Arin. If things were decided today, Mike would come out on top because he ...
