These teams all had championship aspirations, and invested as such. However, they all fell short and now have some expensive questions to ask. Teams covered are: BOS, CLE, GSW, DEN, and MIN. NY was here as well, but they seemed to answer that question by firing their coach...which I don't think many would have guessed. Enjoy.

In the fifty-seventh episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes James Gruenberg, Andy Atherton, and Mirandia Berthold to discuss which Muppet Characters deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Kermit the Frog a no-brainer? What about Fozzie Bear? Does Gonzo grab a spot? Does the Swedish Chef or Statler & Waldorf deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Muppet Films/TV Shows will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that the Muppets Take Manhattan shouldn’t get a spot? Will A Muppet Family Christmas be included? Is The Muppet Show in the conversation? What about Fraggle Rock or The Muppet Movie?
