Admit it



Call me a sucker for underdog stories. I admit it - a part of me wants to see this 'last' Rocky flick.

Rocky was one of those characters you just love to root for. I've always said, if you didn't care about the character in a movie - it's not going to be good...and it was good. The movie also won the Academy Award for Best Picture - which sounds so ludicrous until you watch the movie.

If that movie doesn't inspire you to root for an underdog, maybe this clip will. It's a touching clip of a father's commitment to his son -who was paralyzed after an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck as a baby. The two entered race after race and every time the father gives moments to the son where the son says he doesn't feel like he's handicap. It's absolutely inspiring.
