Daily Baller: 5-Year Old Joshua Sacco

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Josh Sacco does a pretty spot-on impersonation of actor Kurt Russell as U.S. Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks from the movie "Miracle."

The Tennessee boy's recitation of the speech before the Americans' game with the Soviet Union at the 1980 Olympic Games is an Internet sensation. He repeated it in a new video from the NHL's Nashville Predators' dressing room with the team's mascot.

Sacco received a rousing cheer after the team showed it Thursday night during the first period of the Predators' home opener.

The now 5-year-old hockey fan memorized the movie by watching it repeatedly. He recited the speech a dozen times before his father recorded him at their Spring Hill, Tenn., home.

It wound up on YouTube only because they couldn't e-mail it to relatives.

So tonight this young stud, Joshua Sacco, took the mic and caught the world's attention while he rehearsed the "Miracle speech" for the Sox/Yanks at Fenway Park. This kid is an absolute baller. Have you ever seen a 5-year old with as much swagger at this champ? Sign this kid up for NESN! Can you imagine the Heidi Watney/Joshua Sacco tandem?  Unstoppable.  

Can someone get this kid on my payroll? But seriously. I'll supply him with Cheerios for life if I can sign him.

"This is you're time! Their time is done! It's over! Iiiiiiii'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great team the Yankees have! SCREW 'EM! This is you're time!"

Now if that doesn't have you ready for baseball season...well, you're probably a homo ass Yank's fan. 

Daily Dumbass: Derek Lee Hurts Himself While Eating

Freak injury time! Derrek Lee hurts back in chair collapse

"I know Alex Remington was just writing on how Derrek Lee(notes) has been prone to injury the past few years, but this is ridiculous.

According to manager Lou Piniella, Lee had just sat down for some pregame chow on Wednesday when the clubhouse chair beneath him decided to call it quits.

The Cubs first baseman dusted himself off for an appearance in an exhibition game against the Rangers, but he left early to receive treatment for his 34-year-old back. "

It's embarrassing enough to injure yourself while eating, but to do so while sitting in a chair looking like that is absolutely detrimental to your image.  Derrek Lee, you have millions of dollars and you are still sportin' the grandma poolside rocker?  C'mon now.  Lesson one of being a professional athlete, keep all your grandma's hand-me-downs secluded in one room.  Not to mention the chair looks like it got in a full out first fight with the ball player.  How you do so much damage while eating is beyond me.  I'm still stuck on who got the last laugh though?  Sure the chair took some hole-some shots that might require a patch job, but you don't see the chair being embarrassed in Yahoo! headlines do you?
