Mt. Rushmore of Sports

ESPN's look at the Greatest Mt. Rushmore of Sports finished today. After narrowing down from the 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, the 5 finalists were New York, California, Alabama, Pennsylvania and Illinois. America (apparently) voted for Illinois. Their mountain consists of Michael Jordan, Walter Peyton, Ernie Banks, and Da Coach Mike Ditka. A really nice one, sure. But the best? Better than New York's quartet of The Babe, Jackie Robinson, Broadway Joe and The one and only Jim Brown? Better than California's Magic Johnson, John Wooden, Jackie Robinson and Tiger? I think this is another example of crooked Illinois voting.
