ESPN - Man vs. Bear - Hashmarks By Matt Mosley (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/hashmarks/0-7-292/Man-vs--Bear.html)
Since things are slow right now I figured I'd post this. One of the questions man has pondered since the beginning of football has been answered: Can a kick returner, starting at his own end zone, get past a bear standing at the 50 yard line, and run all the way to the other end zone without the bear catching him?
Antwaan Randle El has answered the call.

Yeah I saw that. I think it could be pretty close if the player somehow gets past the bear, but I would bet my money on the bear especially if it is a brown bear(Grizzly for example). Anyone who thinks a huge 900-1400 pound bear doesn't have agility just doesn't know anything about bears and what they are capable of. Brown bears are much faster than humans and they have the ability to hunt deer. A deer can outrun and maneuver a human by a very large margin therefore I say bet on the bear. It might not even be close at all now that I think about it.

Straight line speed I'd give it to a bear, but the zig zagging factor, I'd give it to Randle El.
Pretty cool little video clip.

Now thats funny. El better remember he just had that knee scoped and we need him this season.....I don't like his odds.
And attack the bear, good idea. I just think he forgot to mention he was going to attack with a .50 cal

The bear would throttle him.

ARE would have him until he pulls up lame with a hamstring at the 5 yard line, then it's all bear.

What if he muffs the kick?

I can't believe someone actually thinks they can outrun a bear. Maybe these guys think Chad Johnson actually beat a horse in a race. Straight line, zig-sag, back flips, whatever, the bear is going to maul you.
holy waste of effing time
