Steeltown Dominates ESPN Rushmore

For those of you fellow couch potatoes who just can't enough meaningless sports reporting, I hope you've been following ESPN's Mount Rushmores of Sports, brought to you by writer/personality Rick Reilly. This week Reilly announced the Pennsylvania Rushmore as a top five finalist. The four chiseled faces: Joe Paterno, Wilt Chamberlain, Mario Lemieux, and Roberto Clemente.
The most humorous bit about the PA Rushmore was the amount of votes that fictional icon, Rocky, garnered. So if Philly was voting for Rocky, where were the votes for Smarty Jones and Vince Papale. Once again, we all know where the sports town in PA is located.

Another honor for a non-fictional icon.
