This one is quite easy for me because it really just goes into depth and details about who was around for Chicago, and who would be their Mount Rushmore.
Honestly, the first and foremost one is none other than @To12413 himself. He created the team, and I jumped on as his Co-GM for the first season or so, to help get it off the ground. Oles was the guy who was there from the get go, getting everything together, getting the first ever expansion draft in order, and we were able to, I believe, make a very strong defense and push forward to attempt to compete in our first ever season. While it did go down hill after the first couple seasons, and me stepping down due to some other issues I was dealing with at the time, which I regret to this day, I just needed a break, but alas, he was a staple for those early years of Chicago.
The next person that would be on the lovely Mount Rushmore of the Chicago Butchers is none other then @Bluline also known as Sean O’Leary. O’Leary and I kicked it off well when I first came back to the Butchers with Bayley in line with me. O’Leary was one of those guys that was a part of the struggle, to say the least, in Chicago during the dark days of the late teens and early 20s seasons. It was a rough patch, without a doubt, and yet O’Leary was there, grinding away in the War Room with us, as well as the Locker Room. Some people took him as a strong personality, but he was one of those old guard guys, so to speak, that you just loved to have around on your team because he was going to put in the work to make sure the team was in the best position to win. A lot of people slept on his player, but I honestly believe he got fucked out of being in the Hall of Fame this past season, with all the greatness he did bring. Either which way, he was such a great help for those returning years and was always a good ear and a good heart in the War Room that helped us turn the team around, when otherwise the team should have burned to the ground.
The next person, we already briefly spoke about, would be none other then @Bayley. Good ol’ Bayley, who is still actually a General Manager of the Chicago Butchers, and hopefully soon leading them to the promised land. Bayley and I took over in the Season 22 draft, and my god was it a shit show. Season 21 and Season 22 were horrendous. We had so much going against us, we didn’t have any high picks either, and yet we both put in a ton of work and were able to bring the team together and get a great young core of guys that wanted to see Chicago succeed. I remember asking a lot of people back then if they would be okay with coming to Chicago, and since Chicago has such a bad stigma, I knew it was going to be hard to break, but my god we were able to break it. Those years with Bayley were quite difficult to muster through and push us to greatness, and while we were never able to win a championship with that team, it was a great team to put together all around and it was great to have so many friendly guys around to make sure we were going the right way.
The last person, in my mind, that should be in the Mount Rushmore of Chicago is @TheCC. I know, I know, he’s the laughing stock of the league, but hear me out. He was a steal in the late rounds of Season 22, turned into a max earner, became a War Room member quickly and has been non stop working behind the scenes since damn near day one it feels like. Not everyone knows really what he did back then, since he was such a new guy to the league, but we had faith and trust in him, and it couldn’t have turned out better. When I stepped down, because I got pretty fed up and just done with that aspect of the league, he took it with stride and helped push Chicago further then we’ve been in awhile. I mean just look at what he did with a team that wasn’t even supposed to compete this year, we were the literal Road Warriors. Either which way, @TheCC belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Chicago, and I do feel dirty saying that because we all know that lmap CC Sux. And he is rated an F-------------------. But without a doubt on My Mount Rushmore, he belongs there with the best of them.
