Building more Mount Rushmores

By STEVE KING

Our series on the Mount Rushmore of Browns players – all 24 parts of it – is over.

It’s done. It’s in the books, or on the worldwide web, as it were.

We certainly hope you enjoyed it. If you liked reading it half as much as we liked putting it together and writing it, then you liked it a lot, and that’s good.

But the Mount Rushmore series on the Browns – the concept of it as the best of the best, the greatest of the greatest, the iconic of the iconic, and perhaps even the memorable of the memorable – doesn’t have to end with the players. Although they – the players – are obviously the focus and the centerpiece of any team in any sport at any level – there are other parts of a team that also deserve to be recognized.

And so we will.

It will come in a new Mount Rushmore series – or Mount Rushmore, Take 2, if you want to call it that. I guess we just did.

The Mount Rushmore of what, exactly, in Browns history?

All kinds of things and, of course, people.

Head coaches.

Assistant coaches – on three sides of the ball, yes, three (including special teams; you absolutely have to include special teams).

Games.

Seasons.

Moments.

Favorite players (mine, and perhaps some of yours, too, but definitely mine).

Favorite coaches (mine, again).

Quotes.

Stories.

And all the rest.

I think – no, I am sure – it will be a lot of fun, for me in putting it together, and, so much more importantly, for you, our readers, as well.

It will begin in my next post and continue for … well, however long it continues, however long it needs to be continued and however long it deserves, and is useful enough and interesting enough, to be continued.

This is where I get to go off the grid a little bit – or a lot – and share my opinion on personal matters that, in the grand scheme things, are much more important, and meaningful, to me – and really, all of us — than some of the other stuff.

Stay tuned.
