Pathetic. Guess it's a foregone conclusion that we'll be seeing John Rambo in Baghdad in the very near future. Makes what Mays was doing out there in center for the Mets seem graceful.
Full disclosure: That song still gives me the chills. Considering I almost dropped a tear during the World Cup video montage, and almost do every year during the NCAA's One Shining Moment, I guess you can feel free to call me a big giant pussy.

That looks a lot better than Rocky 5

Please, he's gotta be like 50 odd in the movie! Although I suppose if Foreman did it....
Rocky 1 and 2 still make the hairs on the back of the head stand up though.

I just said it looked better than 5, not that it looked like it would be good.

And this little piece of news I heard on the radio yesterday, Sylvester Stallone turns 60 this month.
Anybody else here see "Bubba Hotep"? I'm sorta envisioning this movie to be the same. Old folks battling great evil in a resthome. Or maybe they'll save that plotline for Rocky VIII...

I'm sorry but if there was ever a great white hype it's rocky. That movie is as retarded as Stallone. How come we don't get inspirational flicks about young black fighters tryin to make it with just heart and god given talent??? Oops my bad I guess we do it's called REALITY!!!! I always thought that movie was soo fuckin corny when I was young (I grew up in the 80's), and I was like "where's all the white fighters in the real world, oh yeah at the end of cats like Tyson, Hollyfield, Bowe, Haggler, Sugar Ray's gloves"

Didn't you see the first half of Rocky 3? Clubber Lang's meteoric rise to the heavyweight championship was very inspirational. Of course, it didn't take long for Rocky to magically become a real boxer and erase all of that.
Seriously, the most improbable of the improbable. While it's not unheard of for one boxer to have another's number -- it's ridiculous that an undersized, middle-aged white heavyweight had the numbers of two legimitate champions (I'm not counting the Russian since he was a juicer).

Did you never see "Hurricane"?

Not gonna lie...I'm gonna see it.

Eddie Murphy in "Raw" kinda explains the attraction of Rocky pretty well

Very inspirational.....for aspiring criminal defense attorneys.

Yes I did, that's a true story, Rocky is some fake ass bullcrap.
The greatest white fighter of all time is Boom Boom Mancini. Marciano was a bum.
