Ok, this is based off your other TD that had me howling and thinking...anyways I thought I could think up some better than the ones you used: (Michael Vick, Mike Tyson, John Rocker, Dennis Rodman - feel free to use these 4 again or to use any other replacements)

Pete Rose - For his donations to gamblers anonymous and his help in the gamblers anonymous program for sponsoring Donaghy.

Barry Bonds/Roger Clemens - (A combined oversized head) For their help donating their bodies to the research of side effects of HGH and steroids

O.J. Simpson - For his help in finding and bringing justice to the real killer of Nicole and Ronald and for his donations of the proceeds from his sports memorablia. Also for his work in creating "never shrink" gloves

Bill Belichick - For his help with the US government spying on foreign nations and terrorists. Recently, it was revealed that Belichick and his crew were responsible for taping Saddam Hussein's location before he was captured. Also, it was revealed that Belichick had secret tapes of Aliens, Big Foot, and the Loch Ness Monster (Roger Goodell destroyed these tapes mistaken them as SpyGate tapes)

Very Nice - These were 2 I left off....

I decided to leave Tonya Harding off due to her sport not being recognized as many American sport fans as a real sport. She is a class act and the honeymoon video would constantly be playing under her bust (no pun intended actually)

I left Canseco off even though he was the original human body tester because he didn't have the numbers that Bonds/Clemens have. With my two guys, there is direct proof of what science can do for sports.

Here are some others (again, minus your original 4) that need to be mentioned in this 'honorable' converasation:

Carlton Dotson - For his peaceful protests and speaking on being a positive teamate

Marty McSorely - For his anger management techniques he invented

Danny Almonte - For his play fair or don't play at all campaign

Maurice Clarett - For his help with AA and lobbying against the NRA

Shawn Kemp - For his donations to single mothers from coast to coast (because he wasn't sure which ones were his baby mothers)

(ok - this next one might be too mean spirited and too soon, so if you are going to be sensitive, please stop reading here:)
Chris Benoit - his work with autism and roids

Ok, so we have seen from this fun TD that there are lots of potential "Top 4" for the Mount - so much that I made a 20 person Hall of Shame of these people and still forgot people. So while all that is said and done:

HERE IS MY TOP 4

1. O.J. Simpson - one of the best Running Backs of all time to now probably rotting his life away in jail. He is the cautionary tale for all athletes.
2. Mike Vick - another cautionary tale (he might be removed from the top 4 if he makes a comeback). From being the face of the League and the best athlete the league ever seen to spending time in jail during the prime of his career.
3. Barry Bonds/Roger Clemens - The best modern era hitter and pitcher - neither are looking to be locks for the Hall based on the allegations of steroid and HGH use.
4. Pete Rose - A sure Hall of Famer until his betting scandal rocked the sport, Pete is looking like he might never get in. Even better idea - put a Chicago Black Sox hat on his bust with 1919 somewhere on the bill.

Those are my top 4. Mike Tyson was a close 5th, but he was never really held in good graces in the public eye. Most always considered him a glorified street thug that could hit hard
