Little Man Completely Crushes "Rocky Balboa" Speech Right In Sylvester Stallone's Face
We had the first ever "Rocky Day" in Philadelphia yesterday. Now before all you jabronis start poking fun at the fact that Philly has a statue dedicated to a fictional character and now a holiday dedicated to that same fictional character, let me just tell you all to eat shit. Rocky is the soul and spirit of this great nation, and you're all just jealous that you don't get to claim him as your own. There's a reason why America loves an underdog, and that's because that's exactly how this country started. And there's no better underdog story than Rocky Balboa. So again, you can all can it.
Anyways, it was "Rocky Day" in Philly. And with Sylvester Stallone hanging out over at the Art Museum, this little fella took the opportunity to crush the Rocky Balboa speech right in front of Rock himself. That's just a young man who has been raised right. While other kids his age are waking up in the morning to watch Paw Patrol, this kid is watching Rocky train in California to get ready to take on Clubber Lang. While other kids are playing games on their iPads, this kid is watching Rocky end the Cold War by taking down Ivan Drago. And when other kids are watching Bluey, well...this kid is probably watching Bluey, too, instead of Rocky V. Because we can all agree that Rocky V was a total and unmitigated disaster.

But Rocky Balboa was great, and probably saved the franchise by getting it back on track. The "Keep Moving Forward" speech should probably replace the Pledge of Allegiance at this point. Do kids still do the Pledge of Allegiance in school? Either way, you should have to start every day by listening to this speech.
And clearly that's how this little fella starts his morning every day. So good on him, and good on Sly for still knowing his lines.
What I will say, however, is that I'm a little worried about the fact that the Eagles got the shit kicked out of them by San Francisco on "Rocky Day". Seems like some bad juju going on there. Maybe it's because Rocky lost in the original movie? Maybe they would have won yesterday if the holiday gets changed to "Rocky II Day"? I don't know. All I know is that something about it just doesn't feel right.
