Mt. Rushmore of sports


I am pretty sure Skip Bayless was responsible for deciding this.

So in my copious amounts of unemployment time I have been watching a lot of T.V. ESPN decided to pick up Bill Simmons' idea of creating a Mt. Rushmore of sports for each city.

But fuck that, it's too complicated. On First and Ten (formerly Cold Pizza, a.k.a. Skip Bayless tries to pop a vein in his forehead screaming about A-Rod), they were talking about just a general Mt. Rushmore of sports.

To me, the first three are easy. It's Jordan, Ruth and Gretzky. You've got three major sports and super-recognizable guys who are arguably the best ever in their respective sports.

I have been struggling with number four. Is it Jack Nicklaus? Tiger? Some tennis player? I don't think it can be an NFL guy, as it's far too team-reliant to pick one guy who represents football.

So, who disagrees with my three? Who's the fourth?
