Golfers...ranked by tour victories it would look like this:
Jack
Tiger
Jones
Hogan
But I'd put Palmer in the fourth spot.

Yes, there is a good reason he is called the "King."

I think that Slammin' Sam Snead had more tour victories than anyone but yet I can only list him as Honorable Mention. Along with Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. It is difficult to have to leave either of them out of the top four. After all, Nelson won something like eleven straight victories on the tour one year. That is one sport's record that will never be tied or broken and you can take that to the bank!
Jack Nicklaus, top at the game, Palmer top in fame.
Anyone think much of Patty Berg?

I watched Jack Nicklaus when I was growing up and then later watched Tiger. I think that Tiger was the better golfer between the two.
I really don't know much about women golfers but I saw a list which put Patty Berg as the 8th best player of all time.

Considered, but no. The list of honorable mentions on one of these would be impressive.
:chuckle:Can it just be 4 Trump heads?

Fair enough. But any Brooklyn Dodger Mt Rushmore had to include Roy Campanella. He's a Hall of Famer, a 3x MVP, and one of the top 3-4 catchers of all time.

I know what you're thinking...how did Taylor Swift not make this list? And honestly, I don't know. Maybe next week.

I assume you mean Joe Louis or is that Lennox Lewis? No Jack Johnson? Larry Holmes? Wladimir Klitchko?

Modern presidents, unqualified:
Trump
Geo. W. Bush
Wm. Jefferson Clinton
Ronald Reagan
lain: Though Lennox was one of the better heavyweights, if not particularly exciting to watch.Close, but no. I think he gets edged. Would he, with modern training, beat one or two on the Mt.? Possibly.
Sometimes underrated because he was Ali's sparring partner and a pretty crude fellow. The fastest jab of any heavyweight excluding Ali and maybe Lewis, from what I hear. But not on Rushmore. I'd take Frasier over Holmes and Fraiser didn't make it either.
My least favorite Rocky film.
lain: No, those are my guys. Joe for boxing. Ali for his Elvis move from Joe like to the slower but smarter fighter after Frasier altered something in his physique. Foreman because if it wasn't for Ali I think he'd have broken everyone on his wheel. Marciano gets overlooked, I think, largely due to an odd sort of prejudice. I'd be inclined to let him fight Dempsey and go with the winner. I should probably put Johnson over either of them. :think:
Man...
The bottom two I understand. I like the guy you pick second, but not as president. The top pick just doesn't begin to make sense to me. I'd put him with Carter so far and I don't see how he makes a second term or course corrects without the sort of changes I can't see him making because of who and how he is.

You forgot LBJ, who managed to have JFK assassinated so that he could realize his life-time desire to be POTUS!
And then to pay off those who helped him in his evil deed (the Industrial-Military Complex) he sent millions of America's best to Vietnam and thousands of then died for no reason.
What a slimeball!
