NFL Mt. Rushmore Figures

[Hostile]

If there was a Mt. Rushmore for the NFL, these are the faces I think would be on the mountain.

Art Rooney, George Halas, Vince Lombardi, & Tex Schramm.

You are more than welcome to disagree, just tell me who yours would be when you do.

 

[windward]

I would replace Schramm with Landry and Rooney with Paul Brown. But there are many valid arguments for a great many individuals.

no paul brown love?

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

George Halas (of course founded the NFL), Paul Brown (one of the winningest coaches of all time), Pete Rozelle (most influential commissioner ever).

 

[tecolote]

I think Pete Rozelle should be there.

 

[Stash]

I'd do one with just coaches:

Lombardi, Landry, Noll, Walsh

I think Pete Rozelle should be there.

See my original post, I would have to agree.

 

[Brandon]

Mt. Rushmore is over-rated.

 

[Future]

You can make a case for way too many guys for me to decide this one.

 

[StoneyBurk]

Why have Rooney on there ? They were losers for forty years!

 

[Cajuncowboy]

I would do it a bit differently.

I would have one person representing the four major components of the NFL.

Coach: Lombardi ( I would say Landry, but he needs a mountain of his own. )

Player: Red Grange

Owner: George Halas

Administrator: Tex Schramm

Lombardi, Landry, Noll, Walsh

I think I would have Shula and Brown over Noll and Walsh.

 

[lurkercowboy]

Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and Tony Romo.

 

[The Panch]

Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and Tony Romo.

Oh my...

It would have to include Lamar Hunt- who came up with the Super Bowl.

And, you couldn't exclude Tony Romo.

 

[Biggems]

Paul Brown, George Halas, Pete Rozelle, Lamar Hunt

Guys like Brown and Walsh should be given serious consideration. A darkhorse candidate is Madden, both as a coach, broadcaster, and gaming maven.

Brown was the 5th name I considered over Schramm and Lombardi.

You would have to have Romo sculpted above the others, like he is looking down on them benevolently, but with a little arrogant edge to his expression.

The president could have a secret lair built inside the hollowed-out Romo head so he could survive and run the country in case of nuclear war. Romo's mole could have a sliding glass window built in so the president could look out. The eyes of the Romo head could have powerful lights so the president could make his wishes known to the country via morse code from the flashing Romo eyes.

after giving this about 1 minute thought... I think a Tom Landry, Roger Staubach, Tex Schramm, Bob Lilly Mt. Rushmore would be much more attractive than any of the above listed
