Top Ten Chicago sports figures we'd like to see on Man vs. Wild

If you didn't get a chance to see it, Will Ferrel appeared on Man vs. Wild last night on the Discovery Channel. He was put to the test in the elements along side Mother Nature's usual whipping boy, show host Bear Grylls.

An epic adventure for sure.

So it got us to thinking, what Chicago athletes would we like to see on the show? Here are the Top Ten we came up with...

10. Virginia McCaskey

Cruel?

Yes. But oh, so worth it.

9. Kevin Garnett

As much as I’d like to see this happen, I just don’t think Kevin Garnett would ever come back.

You’d probably find him a year later living amongst a pack of wolves, making some young pup cry using his patented death stare for not boxing out.

8. Patrick Kane

With that scraggly playoff beard he was sporting by the time reached the Hawks reached the Eastern Conference finals, Kane sure looked the part of someone stranded on a deserted island.

But then again, he also looked like he just walked off the stage at his high school graduation.

7. Mark Prior

Chicago's former golden boy wouldn't last a second in the wild. Unfortunately for him, Mother Nature doesn't have an injured reserve.

6. Mark Buehrle

I'm not sure if anyone from Chicago is more suited to be featured on this show than Mark Buehrle. He's just backwoods enough that I think he'd actually enjoy it and you know he'd wouldn't slow up Bear at all.

His quick smells like burnt toast.

5. Joakim Noah

I can see the previews now:

This is Joakim Noah, and we doing it big, all day, all night out in Siberia this Tuesday on Man vs. Wild.

4. Devin Hester

Our boy D-Hest, aka The Windy City Flyer, would be even more lost than little old Virginia out in the elements.

Thank goodness he's fast, or, at least he used to be. Paul Konerko, on the other hand, would be straight meat for anything faster than a snapping turtle.

3. Milton Bradley

It would be interesting to see who Bradley would blame when the only person around him would be himself.

No reporters to bash, no umpires to criticize and nobody else to point a finger at.

What would he do then?

2. Lou Piniella

'What can I say? We'll eat some bugs in the morning, and then we'll see.'

Classic Lou. It'd be a peek into what Lou looks like on holiday in the offseason. I'm picturing a limitless supply of Tommy Bahama shirts and some dark sunglasses so he can check out the 'scenery'.

1. Mike Ditka

Envisioning Da Coach roaming around the middle of nowhere out in Africa has to put a smile on your face.

While I’m not sure if he’d don the vintage 80’s Bears sweater vest, I know his stache alone could keep a horde of tribesmen warm for months at a time.
