Wolverine (FB player) sighting - LaMarr Woodley

Submitted by tedheadfred on
Just jumped on a flight home and was walking down the aisle when I saw LaMarr Woodley. Said a quick hello and enjoyed watching him play. Was very gracious and well spoken (no surprise).
Update: didn't get to speak w LaMarr after. Do appreciate the comments and wanted to clarify one point - LaMarr was extremely personable to me (which is what I was intending to convey). He interacted with a big smile, and asked if I lived where we were flying. When meeting a success (in so many aspects) like LaMarr, words can fail you as they did me in this instance. A classy individual.

The football Facebook account posted a picture of Woodley next to the Bo statue taken yesterday, and it's amazing that he looks just as big as the statue.

That is one large, large man.

I had the pleasure of introducing him at an awards program. We sat at the same table so I was able to talk to him for a while. My mom taught him in junior high, so we had a person in common. Great guy, he had his super bowl ring with him. OMG IT IS MASSIVE! The funny thing is when I spoke with him it was at the conclusion on RR second year. I asked him what he thought about RR being a former foitball player. He told me it didn't matter what he thought, he was getting fired after next year. I then said, what if he wins 11 games? He said it didn't matter, he was gone. So the players were in the loop back then about what was going on.

You can take my comment many ways, but I think the most obvious is how humans interact differently with technology and each other through time.  I will refrain from predicting the ages of those who are so sensitive to such a statement.

I'm not even saying it was offensive.  I don't think it was.  I'm just saying that the free speech of your critic is just as valuable as your own free speech.

Saying "What you just said is stupid and offensive" is very different from saying "you shouldn't be allowed to say what you just said."

Only college player I know of that could consistently tackle Vince young, don't think he ever missed him in that rose bowl

At present, the answer to that would be ten, and all of them in response to a bit of snark in the thread, not so much the story himself. It used to throw me at first - when I first became active here - that you didn't get points for a thread getting upvoted, but then some of the greatest posbangs ever would end up being some of the most off-the-wall stuff ever posted here. Actually, that's true anyway, so never mind me.

He just bought a really nice house back in my home town of South Lyon. A guy who works with my mom lives a couple of houses down from him.

the term "well spoken". It's usually code for a black guy that speaks well. But I've never heard it used for white dudes. No one is saying Chad Henne, Tom Brady, Jake Long, or Jim Harbaugh is well spoken. Not saying you meant it as such, just a quick little rant. My apologies.

I have found the majority  of those having acquired their Bachelors and working on their Masters are effective communicators. Rudock, I believe carried a 3.9 and I think Russell was extremely high as well. Not uncommon at all. I think they both be good talkers.
