Footballers to Race Cheetah for Nat Geo's 'Big Cat Week': What a joke.........

.......considering they can reach 70MPH for short distances.  Guess they'll have the Cheetah drugged.

Have you ever wanted to see the fastest men in the NFL run foot races against a four-legged alpha predator?

If so, you have awesome priorities, and your wish has been granted.

According to Tony Maglio of TheWrap.com, two NFL speed demons will race against a cheetah to kick off Nat Geo Wild’s fourth annual “Big Cat Week.”

In a special titled “Man vs. Cheetah,” Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson and Chicago Bears kick returner Devin Hester will pit their speed and agility against the fastest of the big cats in a series of competitions.
