Let’s handle our business.
Rushmore of “Thanks” — Thanksgiving, “Thank you, sir, may I have another,” Noonan’s girlfriend saying “Thanks for nuttin'” in “Caddyshack,” and “Thanks for the memories.”
Rushmore of dunkers — Dominique, Dr. J, Vince Carter and John the Baptist.
Rushmore of sports announcing tandems (and since tandems are twos, that rules out the great three-person booths of the early Monday Night Football days and the classic college hoops trio of Enberg, McGuire and Packer) — Pat and John, Keith Jackson and Bob Griese, Buck and Aikman and of course Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks from “Dodgeball.”
Rushmore of “wire” — “The Wire” (and if you have not seen it and you start Monday, you will binge watch 60-plus episodes before Christmas; trust me), “high wire act,” “wire to wire,” “down to the wire.”
