Charles Woodson to be on Rome in the first hour of his radio show
September 14th, 2012 at 12:30 PM ^
this is probably because of Woodson's hilarious comments about jay cutler throwing the defense the ball, and of course because he is a great player. But I'm sure Romey is going to try to get him to say something else about the bears
September 14th, 2012 at 12:55 PM ^
Yep. Rome also predicted Woodson would pick Jay last night as well.
September 14th, 2012 at 3:27 PM ^
Romney? A little freudian slip there...
September 14th, 2012 at 12:30 PM ^
September 14th, 2012 at 12:38 PM ^
excellent overreaction
September 14th, 2012 at 12:46 PM ^
there's ways to correct a guy without being a douche yourself. for example, "hey dude, it's actually spelled 'Poochie', not 'Poochy.'"
September 14th, 2012 at 12:32 PM ^
Wtf? Woody? You know that's a former OSU coach right?
September 14th, 2012 at 12:43 PM ^
Also, according to the BTN Legends episode, it is spelled Poochie. Not Poochy.
September 14th, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
Not to pile on (but to totally pile on), Woody is a terrible way to refer to Charles Woodson.
September 14th, 2012 at 12:51 PM ^
I didn't attend the University of Michigan but my friends that did used to refer to him as Woody back in the day. I do not have a problem dumping the moniker if it is that offensive.
September 14th, 2012 at 2:07 PM ^
That was not a common nickname for him when he was here. Mention "Woody" to Michigan fans and they'll picture . . . well, you know.
September 14th, 2012 at 2:12 PM ^
They'll picture what?...
September 14th, 2012 at 12:54 PM ^
September 14th, 2012 at 2:17 PM ^
Ugh. Where to begin? Nevermind - its Friday!
AHAHAHAHAAHHAA!September 14th, 2012 at 2:14 PM ^
Long time lurker. Love the site. This thread brought into lurking retirement.
Quick Woodson story. I was a sophomore in 1997. Traveled to Wisconsin, Penn State and the Rose Bowl. Saw 10 games in person -- was amazing.
Anyway, fast forward to the Spring of 2000. I was a senior. I was at Rick's (every night), and one particular night Charles was in town and also at Rick's. As my time at UM was winding down, I was (drunkenly and probably sappily) looking at my tenure there.
Approached him and said, "Charles, just wanted to thank you for all you did. I was a sophomore in 1997 and you really helped make my college career great." Ridiculous, I know.
He looked right at me and said, "that's what I do."

You sir, have made an excellent first post. It made my entire visit to the site worth something. I mean, arguing over whether a guy's nickname is Poochie, Poochy, or Woody, or on the other hand arguing whether a back-up walk-on kicker at PSU leaving the team is news was not doing it for me.
On a similar note, the first I ever approached a player was at Rick's also. I saw Gabe Watson after a game and I had never seen a guy so wide in my life. For no good reason I walked up to him and put my hand out to shake his, saying "Good game!" Being that he was a NT and I had no idea if he really had a good game because that is not an easy position to judge at a game, I wasn't really sure if my statement was true. He shook my hand, but replied "It was? I thought I played like crap." I didn't know what to say, so I just walked away quickly as it is disconcerting to have a 350 lbs wall disagree with you.
September 14th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
and I was way too afraid to approach him.
September 14th, 2012 at 2:15 PM ^
No last name needed. Just like with Desmond and Denard. No one else with that first name will ever have as big an impact at U of M.
September 14th, 2012 at 2:17 PM ^
I will soon send a scathing email to Matt Groening for stealing Mr. Woodson's high school nickname to create characters. That is all.
September 14th, 2012 at 2:24 PM ^
Whenever I think about Woodson all I think about is
September 14th, 2012 at 2:31 PM ^
about this until Rome mentioned it, but Charles may have the best trophy case of any football player ever.
Mr. Football Ohio
B1G Freshman of the year
2 time all american
Thorpe, Nagurski, Heisman trophies
Rose Bowl
National Championship
NFL rookie of the year
8-time pro bowl
All decade team 2000's
Defensive player of the year
Super Bowl championship
Is it possible to beat this? Maybe if he scored 4 TDs in one game. Though like Bundy, he probably did that in high school. Throw in future HOFer as well.
September 14th, 2012 at 2:31 PM ^
Obviously I am biased, but when he was drafted and playing against NFL players he was waaaay better than anyone around him. He was just that much better than anyone else. He is as old as Peyton Manning and still playing. Think of how many more hits Woodson has taken in his career as a defender than a he would have had he played QB . It's impressive to say the least. I will say that Charles is fortunate that he is in a great position in GB (they basically let him roam if I am not mistaken) and he gets a lot of opps for INTs and doesn't have to take as many hits, but he is without a doubt one of the greatest football players to have ever played the game.
September 14th, 2012 at 2:50 PM ^
He doesn't have to take hits, he chooses to take make hits. He has to be one of the best tackling defensive backs I've ever seen play.
September 14th, 2012 at 6:47 PM ^
To add to what you're saying, how many defensive players could combine his covering, tackling and rushing the passer skills? Not to mention his abilities as a returner or potential use on the offensive side of the ball.
September 14th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
And plus he's soooo dreamy
September 14th, 2012 at 3:43 PM ^
That would be a pretty cool question to explore in more detail.
September 14th, 2012 at 3:18 PM ^
The greatest to ever play the game.
September 14th, 2012 at 3:41 PM ^
Maybe the greatest ever to do anything.
September 14th, 2012 at 3:45 PM ^

1 with SF, 1 with Dallas. Sanders was still in Atlanta for the other Dallas Super Bowl wins in the nineties.
So if the Packers win it all again this year...
