Feel good woodson story
This past weekend I was up at Boyne snowboarding and met this girl my friend knows. She was telling me that last summer her work was hosting a party at a Michigan booster's million dollar house on lake michigan.
Anyway she said some former michigan player was there, and she kept saying charles something, and that he plays in the NFL. Naturally I knew it was Woodson.
Anyway she said that night after the party the house caught on fire and that the only person that woke up was Woodson. He then woke everyone up in the house and got them out, and warned all the neighbors and got everyone else out safely as well.
Sounds like he saved some lives as well as his own that night. Thought I had to share, since I didn't hear anything about this last year.

There was a story about this somewhere, but I don't remember where.
I believe they were up late watching his '97 highlight reel, and that's why he was up so late.

watching the 97 highlights.
While I admire Charles as much as the next guy I find it funny that this is just coming out on this board now. This story was all over the news last July. Anyone interested in Charles and supporting his wonderful charity work should check out this link.

Anyway, Woodson and his business partner were just doing what any average Michigan fan might have done on a lazy Friday night: watch highlight videos of Charles Woodson and doze off. As per usual, doing this saved lives

I don't know which is more incredible: his highlights from the '97 season or him getting people out of a burning house.

Lol , I love Woodson , but come on Charlie. The best you can come up with is "we were up watching my highlights from 97". I wanna here the dirty truth. What we all know what was really going on!
They all were playing scrabble , then they broke pictionary and thats when shit got out of hand. House caught fire and Chuck started saving fools.
I know what goes on at an Michigan alum's Million dollar lake house Charlie , i know.

Well they do say...70% of the earth is covered in water, the rest by Charles Woodson. New motto..."Saving lives one day at a time" Charles Woodson.

Woodson has been a confident yet classy player all the way back to his college days. He has never let his ego become an issue and yet there is no doubt about the self confidence he has inherent within himself. He plays with a swagger but he is not a jerk while doing it.

Why didn't he just cover the flames until they suffocated?
Like he does to pro-bowl recievers.
