Recasting Big Brother With Sports Stars Like Brett Favre and Tiger Woods
Once again it is August. It is hot and yes it is the dog days of summer.
That can only mean one thing. Another season of Big Brother is in full swing.
The best show on CBS is coming down to the wire as only eight contestants remain.
Big Brother is now in its 12th season and the show continues to grow in popularity. Each and every year new twists are added and the game becomes more and more challenging to play, .
One thing CBS hasn't done so far is incorporate superstar athletes. What would be better than 13 of the greatest athletes on the planet in one house?
While we all know this could never happen, if CBS did recast the Big Brother house with athletes, it would go a little something like this.
Peyton Manning
1 of 13
As one of the best players in the history of the NFL, Peyton Manning would fit perfectly into the Big Brother house.
Manning is hilarious in his own way, but is not as outspoken as many athletes. That would certainly play in his favor.
Undoubtedly one of the smartest people in the NFL, Manning would certainly be able to get a good read on people, much like he does opposing defenses.
With Manning in the house, all bets off. Heck, maybe the pressure would even get to him a little bit.
What would be better for prime-time television than a Peyton Manning tirade?
Danica Patrick
2 of 13
Certainly one of the most famous women athletes on the planet, Danica Patrick is also not afraid to speak what is on her mind, making her a perfect fit for the Big Brother house.
She has no problem competing against the best men in the world and being in the Big Brother house it would be no different.
Patrick, is a fierce competitor who doesn't take too kindly to losing.
Maybe her frustration of not being able to win the big race is the perfect ammunition for her.
Why not throw her in the Big Brother house and set off a few bombs.
Manny Ramirez
3 of 13
If there is one place Manny can be Manny, it is in the Big Brother house.
Imagine the havoc this guy could wreak on everyone in the house. The guy is certifiably insane and he may even have the ability to drive Peyton Manning a little nuts.
I am sure living with this guy would be quite a chore, judging by what I have seen on the field.
Do you think he cleans up after himself? Wouldn't it be great to find out? I wonder if he would leave his dip spit all over the floor in the house?
All these questions would be answered if Manny Ramirez was cast for Big Brother.

Michelle Wie
4 of 13
Michelle Wie is a quiet and fierce competitor which is perfect for the Big Brother house.
Wie has been in the spotlight since she was a little girl and now is one of the best female golfers in the world.
She seems like a quiet and humble person, but when he gets down to it, she is as competitive as they come.
Wie has the perfect combination of aggressiveness and calmness to run the Big Brother house without anybody even knowing.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
5 of 13
Perhaps the greatest pound-for-pound boxer to ever grace this planet, Floyd 'Money' Mayweather is the face of the boxing world.
He is also outspoken and not afraid of anything, so why not throw him in the Big Brother house.
How many times during the season would Mayweather say how he is only in it for the money.
My guess is a lot. How hard would it be for him not to clock one of the other contestants if they got in his face?
One thing is for certain. It would make for great television.
Candace Parker
6 of 13
In every Big Brother house there are the quiet ones who slide through and sometimes win the entire thing. WNBA Superstar Candace Parker fits this description perfectly.
As one of the greatest female basketball players ever, Parker is a fierce competitor, she just doesn't vocalize it like some other people.
That makes her the perfect pick for the Big Brother house. Perhaps she can balance out some of the loud mouths in the house?
Either way, this girl is a top notch competitor.
Brett Favre
7 of 13
Two NFL quarterbacks in one house? Why not, it would make for good TV.
In every season of Big Brother there is one contestant that is a little older than the rest of the house and Brett Favre is the perfect athlete for the job.
How many pairs of Wrangler Jeans would this man bring into the house. Dozens perhaps.
Nobody competes like this guy and it would be interesting to watch if he could form alliances with some of the younger players in the game.
But, there is one catch. Why not make Brett Favre the saboteur and let him wreak havoc on the rest of the house.
That would be priceless.
Lindsey Vonn
8 of 13
Inside every Big Brother house there is a beautiful blonde bombshell and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn fits that bill perfectly.
Vonn brought home multiple Olympic medals in Vancouver a few months ago and was one of the faces of the Olympics.
She has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated and let's face it, who wouldn't want her in the house.
Vonn is smart and witty and would be the perfect player to stir things up in the house.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
9 of 13
In every Big Brother house there is a contestant or two who adds a little southern feel to the show.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. fits that description to a tee.
One of the most popular figures in NASCAR, Earnhardt has struggled to win races like his father used to. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be perfect for Big Brother.
Earnhardt is outgoing, funny and never afraid to say what is on his mind.
After all, the Big Brother house could use a few more sponsors.
Serena Williams
10 of 13
With the intensity and determination Serena Williams plays tennis with, it is certain she would be perfect for the Big Brother house.
Did anyone see the time she went off on that official at the U.S. Open last year?
That tirade would scare just about anyone.
Having Williams in the Big Brother house would be a disaster in the making, and who doesn't want to see that.
I can see her now going nuts on anybody and everybody she comes across.
Think Floyd would want to give her a quick right hook?
Tiger Woods
11 of 13
Now that he is single, the Big Brother house is the perfect place for Tiger Woods.
I mean how many girls would this guy try to sleep with in the house? Look at how many he slept with when he was a married man.
Danica Patrick? Check. Candace Parker? Check. Serena Williams? Check. Lindsey Vonn? Oh wait, she is married. Who cares, Check? Michelle Wie? Is she old enough? I think so. Check.
It would be historic. And how good would Big Brother after dark be with this guy around. That may not be suitable even for Showtime.
Annie Duke
12 of 13
Quite possibly the best candidate for the Big Brother house is Annie Duke, one of the best female poker players in the world.
Good luck getting any lies past this chick.
Duke is as fierce as they come in poker tournaments and the Big Brother house would be no different.
Could you imagine looking into her eyes and trying to get something by her. That is just not going to happen.
Chad Ochocinco
13 of 13
The final part of the Big Brother house is Mr. Reality himself Chad Ochocinco.
C'mon son. You didn't really think I was going to forget him?
Ochocinco is the perfect fit for any reality show and Big Brother is no different. There is nobody in sports more outspoken and ready for the big screen than this guy.
He may be a little upset that his buddy TO is not with him in the house, but I am sure he would get over it.
I can just see Peyton Manning and Brett Favre arguing over who is gonna throw Chad a few fade routes in the backyard.
