A Grizzly Bear is just a Brown Bear and the range of Tigers and Brown Bears certainly does overlap.

Watch this video, and tell me if you would want to be around a 500 pound tiger doing this:

Lol that scream
I don't think that cat weighs 500 pounds.
Don't you guys know anything?! Tigers are nothing but great big house cats. With my Winston, all I have to do is grab the scruff of his neck and massage it a bit and he's rolling on the floor in ectasy. In the OP's scenerio 9 of the NFL guy's distract the cat and the other guy leaps on it's back and grabs the back of the neck and starts the massage. Presto. Done...
You're welcome!
I think the football players could win with the right strategy. Man's brain power is his biggest advantage.
Most wild animals are solitary and run from humans. Is the tiger trained in any way or will it react like a typical wild animal? Most only attack when threatened.
Are they able to use any rocks or sticks that are in the enclosure? How about the branch of a bush? Something to wave across its eyes from a distance to distract it while someone behind it does some damage.
Team tactics, worked out ahead of time, would be needed. A quick kill is unlikely.
Persistence hunting by not letting the tiger eat, sleep, or drink would eventually wear it out. The first 5 or 10 hours might simply be not letting the tiger rest. Keep it on its feet with no food or water.
If you can't use rocks or sticks, the best way to attack the tiger is from behind with kicks. Powerful kicks to the muscles of the hind quarters would eventually cause the muscles to seize up and stop working. Once the tiger lost mobility the rib cage would be an easier target.
The group would have to have good team work to keep the tiger from singling out one human. Who ever is facing the teeth shouts and retreats to distract the tiger, while who ever has the tail sneaks in and delivers a quick blow to the hindquarter muscle groups.
I hate to say it, but distance runners might have a better chance than bulky football players. The ability to move quickly for hours without rest could be a key. And you don't need bulky muscles to deliver a powerful blow.
Here are some lion and tiger attacks. No one is killed:

A distance runner will be strong enough to deliver a powerful blow to the butt of a 600 lb animal? One rear kick would send a distance runner back several meters. Probably 10.
No.
It's funny- when we talk about XC races in our school most of the football players admit that it's tougher than playing football.
American culture has us brainwashed into thinking being tough is being able to take a hit.
In reality- if you want someone on your side in tough times it's someone who can put themselves into a difficult situation and persevere. It's like choosing to enter a burning home to save someone.
I like how people are being mauled and the video guys refuse to give up filming.
That guy getting mauled by the lion is lucky that headshot didn't take him out as well.
Notice how in no video is anyone able to mount any sort of defence at all.
My favorite is the women attempting to give the illusion that she was swimming in the air. I think the lion was annoyed at how stupid that looked.

Lol xc is not tougher than playing football. And football is not tougher than xc. A sport is tougher if you aren't prepared for it. Running 3 miles is something that grandmas can do. Taking a hit is much more intense than running 3 miles though. How many 5k runners get concussions?

Here it has to be no weapons, just men v. animal.
In that video, they had a gun to stop the lion. It took 5 shots just to get him to let go of the circus trainer.
Check out that tiger in the last clip of that video. The thing jumps on top of a full grown elephant to attack the man. Crazy hops!

No. Not in one blow. In a series of blows. Maybe spread out over hours.
Marco Ruas gives some good demonstrations of repeated attacks in the same spot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD-sYP_95z4Here is some more evidence of the freakish athletic ability that big cats have. This leopard runs about 50 feet up a tree twice and then drops to the ground from that height and kills the baboon in seconds.
This thing looks like it has a lot of power behind it

Dude come on. A tiger is way too fast to land a series of puny hits to its backside. You would never get close enough to it without it knowing. They have superb hearing and a superb sense of smell.
And your distracting man isn't going to work. A tiger can hit 30+ mph. More than enough time to get that guy and then turn around and get the attempted sneakers.
I wonder what a Tiger could do in the 40.
Are they barehands? That scenario happened thousands of Times back in the roman empire. Some people had a sword, some had a dagger...maybe some slaves/gladiator did it bare hand.
But the real question is : could that Tiger run a marathon under 2 hours? If it run at least 120 miles per week, it could. ;-)
Here's what you do. You get 9 JJ Watt's and whoever the best punter is in the NFL. Assuming this is a male tiger, the Watt's try to hold the tiger fairly still and the punter runs behind the Tiger and kicks the crap out of its balls. No matter how much of a killing machine you are, theres always an equalizer. Anyways, the punter keeps on doing this and never lets up (on second thought, maybe ndamukong suh could take this position). The tiger is basically on floor now, not nearly as threatening as it was. Now you just go for eyes over and over until you get to the brain. Gory, sick, but it'll get the job done.

What would be the tiger's time for a marathon on the track?
