Let’s handle our business.

› Rushmore for Donald Sutherland — Wow, what a career, especially when we leave off some tremendous cameos like “JFK,” “A Time to Kill” and “Backdraft,” you know? “M*A*S*H,” “Animal House,” “Hunger Games,” and “Kelly’s Heroes.”

› Rushmore of Will movies — “Talladega Nights,’ “Elf,” “Anchorman,” “Old School.” And yes, I hated leaving off “Step Brothers” and “The Lego Movie.” “Spirited” is also sneaky strong.

› Rushmore of movies with the lead character as a police officer — “Die Hard,” “Tombstone,” “Training Day” and “L.A. Confidential.” And yes, I sadly had to leave “Lethal Weapon” — and so many others — out.

› Rushmore of MMA — OK, I know nothing about the UFC/MMA realm, so I reached out to my buddy Brian Edwards — he and I do a weekly podcast on Southeastern16.com called “Bets and Ballgame” — who is a HUGE UFC guy. Here’s his Rushmore: 1-Jon Jones; 2-Khabib Nurmagomedov; 3-Anderson Silva; 4-Georges St. Pierre. So there’s that.
