From: BACK to WORK by Greg Merritt
Coleman was a journeyman loser – now 39 times! – who became the ultimate winner, with a record-tying eight Olympias and a record-setting 26 pro wins. Like Rocky Balboa, we revere him more for overcoming the losses than for racking up the victories.
From: WEEKEND AT JAY’S Day 1 by Allan Donnelly
On one of the walls is a list of celebrities and athletes who have trained at Gold’s. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hulk Hogan. Sylvester Stallone. Marcus Allen. Andrew Dice Clay.

The March 16, 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly contains this nearly half page ad for the dvd release of “Rocky Balboa.” – Craig
The Rocky Guide to Life by Jennifer Leczkowski is probably a book that most Rocky / Sylvester Stallone fans will want to add to their collections, despite the somewhat misleading title. See, The Rocky Guide to Life is not really a guide to life, it’s a book of quotes. Author Jennifer Leczkowski has taken quotes from all six Rocky movies and matched them with pictures from the films. It’s an interesting idea and a nice package [but not really a guide to life]. Still, I’m glad I’ve added it to the collection, and my guess is that most fans will be as well! – Craig
SZoner, Kevin Libal is a HUGE Sly fan. Kevin has been collecting Sly merchandise since he was 7. These are a few pictures of his collection. Thanks to Kevin for sharing! – Craig
PS – I noticed Kevin has one of the great Schomberg Rocky statues! We will be running an interview with Mr. Schomberg in a few weeks. You still have time to get in questions if you post them HERE.
“Rocky Balboa” will be released on March 19, 2007. It is now available for pre-order by clicking HERE.
The dvd will feature: commentary by Sylvester Stallone; deleted scenes including an alternate ending; boxing bloopers, three featurettes [“Skill vs Will: The Making of Rocky Balbao”; “Reality in the Ring: Filming Rocky’s Final Fight”; and “Virtual Champion: Creating the Computer Fight”] and more! – Craig
