Woodson Injures Collarbone @Super Bowl, Wins Ring
February 6th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
I would assume that it is a broken collarbone and hopefully it is not severe to require any surgery.
February 6th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
Just a dislocation? Shame.
February 7th, 2011 at 7:25 AM ^
...it is either a clavicle fx or AC joint disolocation. Unless the AC joint is completely torn and quite separated (there are different grades of injuries here just as in other orthopedic injuries based on the whether the joint is torn but normally aligned, subluxed or dislocated) or the clavicle fx is very displaced, management is usually nonoperative.

Man I feel bad for him...screw the cowboys field, too many people are hurting themselves by falling. He deserves the ring 100% though
February 6th, 2011 at 9:08 PM ^
Okay. It's not the field.
February 6th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
Sorry hit post too soon. That's the nfl's field that they brought in. It is a totally different one than what they use for cowboys, cotton bowl, etc.
February 6th, 2011 at 8:42 PM ^
Damn shame.
February 6th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
makes me want to cry. for serious
February 6th, 2011 at 9:05 PM ^
Pit was throwing away from him basically the whole game up until the play he got injured. Tough break. I hope GB holds on and gets him a ring
February 6th, 2011 at 9:14 PM ^
February 6th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
to see Chuck get his ring too.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:07 PM ^
Woodson
February 6th, 2011 at 10:13 PM ^
Still got his ring though.
Go Blue!
February 6th, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
I'm pretty sure Chuck is only one of two (or three, depending on how you count it) players to have a FBS championship, a Heisman, and a Super Bowl.
- Tony Dorsett's 1976 Pitt Panthers were #1 in the AP and UPI polls, and he was on the Super Bowl XII winning Dallas Cowboys.
- Reggie Bush's 2004 USC Trojans won the BCS championship, though of course that title and Bush's Heisman were stripped.
So, I'm comfortable with it being just Dorsett and Chuck.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:51 AM ^
Marcus Allen is included. Though it could be argued Bush isn't anymore. ;-). Still an elite club.
February 7th, 2011 at 8:55 AM ^
Ah yes, I see they won in 1979 when he would have been a sophomore. Oh well. Chuck, Dorsett, Marcus Allen and Reggie Busherisk are pretty good company.
February 7th, 2011 at 10:39 AM ^
did his high school win a state championship? would be a fun one to add. also add in a conference championship to the stats
February 7th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
Played H.S. football in northwest ohio during same time frame.
Cleveland St. Ignacius was the best D1 team during that time period, they won every year I was in school except my senior season when they lost to Lima. Freemont was good but not great. However, Woodson was a great HS RB as you would expect.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Woodson Rules.
that is all.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
he is a beast. great to see him get that ring it really rounds out his career
February 6th, 2011 at 10:40 PM ^
February 6th, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
February 6th, 2011 at 10:44 PM ^
I love Charles Woodson with a white hot man love.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
What a great day. Michigan beats PSU, MSU gets a beatdown, and Woodson gets a Superbowl ring!!! Too bad Woodley couldn't get one too, he played well. Go Blue.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
Tonight I was watching the game at school in Milwaukee, and I was just rooting for Woodley and Woodson to have good games (I strongly dislike each team). Everyone here (all badger, buckeye, hoosier, and irish fans) unanimously claimed that Charles Woodson was the worst Heisman winner ever and that Peyton should've won it. On a completely unbiased standpoint, what is your opinion on this? I strongly disagreed, but I would like some reassureance besides watching his videos from Michigan that he was a most deserving winner.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
Anyone that claims Woodson didn't have a heisman worthy season is frankly a dumbass and you're a good man for not punching them in the face. Not only was he a deserving winner, he was one of the most deserving winners ever.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:51 PM ^
Well, for one, Woodson was a winner and Manning could never get over the hump. Clearly he wasn't that good if they won a national championship immediately after he left...
February 6th, 2011 at 10:52 PM ^
He was IMO the best college football player in the last 15 years.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
Woodson!
February 6th, 2011 at 11:01 PM ^
The main arguement i have for those against Woodson winning the Heisman is that Woodson could not only affect the game on offense, but also on defense and special teams. Thus meaning that potentially Woodson could impact the game on every play and that is why Woodson is one of the best players to every come out of college football.
February 6th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
Ya Woodson was the worst Heisman winner ever. He only dominated all 3 phases of the game. He could be in discussion for the best Heisman winner of all time. Maybe a bit of a stretch but look at what he did. For ppl to say he was not deserving should never be allowed to watch sports. You might dislike Michigan/Charles but to say he wasnt worthy is ridiculous. I hate Troy Smith, but he deserved his Heisman. Anyways, glad he got a ring. Heisman winner, National Champion. and Super Bowl Champion. Canton is calling his name, but not for a while.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:19 AM ^
This is essentially what i said. But i was ridiculed as an ignorrant and annoying michigan fan. Yes, because i am the fan that continually says "O-H-I-O or eff em bucky or RUDY!!!!"
February 7th, 2011 at 12:31 AM ^
I love watching the Heisman Trophy presentation and hearing the Manning family gasp when Chuck was announced the winner. Archie prolly shit his depends....
You bet your ass he deserved to win. He was the best player that year by far.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:50 AM ^
And for anyone who says he's the worst Heisman winner ever must have forgotten who Gino Torretta was.
February 7th, 2011 at 1:01 AM ^
But what made Woodson probably the greatest college player I've ever seen (maybe with Vince Young) is there was no one more clutch. Sure, he'd make plays against Indiana. But in the games that mattered, OSU, MSU, PSU, Rose Bowl he dominate, and make the biggest plays WHEN you needed the biggest plays. Prototypical comes up big in the spotlight player.
<br>
<br>Manning was/is the opposite. Puts up great numbers, but in the really big games is more likely to throw it away - Florida, bowl game, playoffs, Super Bowl. The only reason he's not Dan Marino lite is that the Pats had the most inexplicable collapse since Frank Reich was QBing, and they got the worst Super Bowl participant in a decade (at least) in the Bears.
<br>
<br>And the big argument for Manning over Woodson (as skewed as it was, since it's a college award) is that he's a better pro. But they now have the same Super Bowl record. And if Chuck comes back, it looks like the Pack are a lot closer to another title than the Colts are.
<br>
<br>It's funny to say he's the worst, when his competition for it may have been the best ever: Manning, Moss, Leaf...they were ALL ass kickers in college. And he was better than them all.
February 7th, 2011 at 10:53 AM ^
Aside what anti-Michigan fans will think, if you are a true long-time Michigan football fan, and Charles Woodson isn't your favorite all-time Michigan player, you either:
A. Hadn't been born before 1997
Annnd, that's the list. The dude won games and racked in the recognition because of it. Michigan's GOAT? Absolutely.
We all love Desmond, but his career is barely comparable. As icing, Woodson may well win one or two more Super Bowls. Didn't he sign a five year extension last year?
February 6th, 2011 at 10:48 PM ^
AJ Hawk just mentioned that Woodson gave an impassioned, goose-bump worthy speech at half-time.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
Heard this too. Hope it's on tape somewhere.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:57 PM ^
I agree that it would be amazing to hear his speech, but i think some things in sports are better left between the players only. It would change the experience for some of those players that Woodson spoke to if it was to find its way onto youtube or whatever.
February 7th, 2011 at 1:09 AM ^
Do you really think that the public knowing about the content of Woodson's talk would negatively affect their Super Bowl experience? I could see it bothering Chuck, since they were his words, but I think the other guys would be too busy celebrating to care right now.
February 6th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
He's the only player to ever win a: Heisman, National Championship, Rookie of the year, Defensive player of the year, Superbowl, and go to the pro bowl. Basically, he's fucking awesome
February 6th, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
I APPROVE BABY
February 6th, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
Woodson on ESPN talking to Schefter.
*EDIT* Sounds like he was a good bit choked up when he saw his collarbone was broken. Not surprising.
Just realized the black on his face is eye-black that's fallen likely from tears.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:18 AM ^
Fuck em all.......Woodson has cemented his place.....he's been a beast for almost 15 years now!!
February 7th, 2011 at 12:35 AM ^
That and he went balls out on the play he broke his collarbone on. Dude was defending one of the fastest WR's in the game, and broke up a potential TD pass. BEAST is right.
February 7th, 2011 at 12:50 AM ^
Michigan's last two Heisman Trophy winners have now both won Super Bowls... both with the Green Bay Packers.
February 7th, 2011 at 1:04 AM ^
Denard signs with Green Bay?
February 7th, 2011 at 1:15 AM ^
Devin to Denard in the 2018 Super Bowl. Book it!
February 7th, 2011 at 1:26 AM ^
BKFinest it.
