Stuart Scott's death got me thinking, who would be on ESPN's Mount Rushmore? I'm not asking who are your 4 favorite guys, I'm asking who are the 4 biggest, most important ESPN personalities of all time. Here's what I got off the top of my head.

Berman
Dan Patrick
Keith olberman
Stuart Scott

Berman is only important in his own mind

Berman
Stuart
Scott Van Pelt

Are 3 that I'd put on there 100%. Patrick's leaving of "the mothership" makes his name a controversial pick to me

SVP > Olbermann

Probably Bob Ley too. If you want to be PC, you'd need to add Robin Roberts or Linda Cohn.

Rasmussen
Skipper
Berman
Vitale

Vitale was huge for ESPN's initial coverage of college basketball in the '80s. That's the first sport they really made their own.

As much as I like Dan Patrick I don't think he belongs because of his falling out with the network. I'm young compared to a lot of people on here so I don't remember the "good ole days", but I might replace him with SVP. Fan-favorite anchor, talk radio show that's probably the best and most popular. When you think ESPN he's definitely one of the first to come to mind, especially with his trademark bald head.

Stu and Berman belong, like them or not. And I think Olbermann - as much as I loathe him - belongs because he's a "founding father" of sorts. Maybe could argue Bob Ley over Olbermann however.

Ley, berman and Tom mees are the original guys. I figured some people would bring up ley and mees. I'd put berman over both of them due to longevity over mees and ley pretty much only does outside the lines. Like him or not, berman is a much bigger personality than ley.

Vitale is a good pick as well but it's tough to put him in top 4 because he only does college basketball.
