Coming Soon: Mount Hushmore


Kudos to Chicago sports personality Dave Kaplan for recycling ESPN's trash and biting its Mount Rushmore of sports bit.

But it got us to thinking, what would Chicago's anti-Mount Rushmore look like?  Who were Chicago's most embarrassing athletes?  The guys you hated so much, you considered booing them even though they were on your team.

We've got an idea of who we want and we'll write profiles on them.  But we also want your suggestions, too.  Send 'em over to bigdeadsidebar@gmail.com as soon as possible with reasoning and we'll get 'em up online.

Alright, so this is the early plan.  We'll post our early nominees as they come in and at the end of each blog, you will have a choice to nominate them onto Mount Hushmore via polling.  We have established 70 percent to be the induction cut-off point.

Your early nominees are as follows: Milton Bradley, Todd Hundley, Cedric Benson, Cade McNown, Theo Fleury, Bill Wirtz, Jay Mariotti, Rick Morrissey, Jamie Navarro, Kevin Gregg, LaTroy Hawkins, The Early 2000s Bulls, Rex Grossman, Kordell Stewart and Chip Caray.

Again, suggestions to the e-mail box, please.  Heck, even to the Facebook page

And if you have a more creative name than Mount Hushmore, please come forth with it and we'll give you full credit.  You know, unlike Kap for jackin' the World Wide Leader.
