Bulldog of Bergen, Pride of New Jersey...And Other Praise

Cinderella Man today.
What I learned:
1. James J. Braddock's story is just enough about his children to make me weepy.
2. I must not watch a biopic unless I already know the outcome. The stress is too much.
3. Boxing is only ok when the smaller, older guy nobody-expected-but-everyone-hoped-for wins. Otherwise, it's a deplorable sport used to line the pockets of men in swanky suits.
4. The Great Depression sucked ass. So bad.
5. Don't joke about the Great Depression at dinner with mom.
