NO MORE ROCKIES

How can they even consider another Rocky movie? How old is Sly anyway? Remember Burgess Merideth in the original movie? I think he was younger then than Stallone is now.

It would be like a cast member from The Sopranos killing somebody or something. Just too far fetched. Like having a couple of former Survivors come back for another run at it or something. Or how about another Apprentice? Featuring an ex-con to do the hiring and firing.

When Rocky's having trouble and he needs to yell, "Adrien," will he even remember her name? What's the movie gonna be called "Rock of Ages?"

It would be like an old coach resigning a week after he pilots his team to the Super Bowl Championship to un-retire and coach a cross state rival. For 4 more years. Nobody would believe it.

It would be like a hall of fame Illinois high school basketball coach leaving and coaching at an area university, then leaving the university and going back to coach at another area high school. And his replacement taking the teams to the ncaa tournament two years in a row, once to the sweet sixteen. How about this--he then leaves for a cross state team who also goes to two ncaas, once losing in the championship game. Nope--that's just too crazy.

It wouldn't work in obscure sports either like bicycling. A guy could win a big race maybe once or twice in his life, okay three times. But only if he was really healthy. Never more than 4 or 5 or 6 or 7. It's just implausible.

So Rock, do us a favor. Don't answer that bell, stay down for the count. Because we know it couldn't happen again. Could it?
