Probably the last time he sets foot on Lambeau Field as a player. Talk about two entities that needed each other.
White House on 3. No question true fans honor a great Packer.
Thanks Charles.

geez, chilli, you are on fire today! are you on steriods!
again, a great post and reminder...I didn't think about that...I hope he gets a long standing ovation.
CWood!
An interesting juxtaposition to TOG, no?
A guy who spent a fraction of that time in GB and will be received warmly and lovingly, with no threat of being booed.
Guys like Woodson should make it clear to everyone that Packer fans understand when a player goes to a different team. That's part of the business. But it's HOW they leave that makes all the difference.
Exactly. Most logical fans don't dislike Favre for playing for the Vikings. It was all the stuff he said and did before he got there.
I guess I'm illogical then. 
I loathe bert AND the fact he played for the 'queens.
WINNER - exactly what heyward and Doc Bob said.
altho, wanting to play for the queens and following thru is one serious case of cow kick to the skull.
Logical fan, What's that?
I guess I'm illogical then. I loathe bert AND the fact he played for the 'queens.
But that's part of HOW he left the team. It's not that he played for the Vikings. It's that he WANTED to play for the Vikings. He was apparently focused on playing for them even before he left specifically so he could stick it to the Packers.
It's praise by contrast.
Awesome topic Chili!
Yes, thank you, thank you VERY much Chuck!! All class.
For those of you not on his facebook. Back on July 26th:
Congrats Jordy!!!
I love Charles Woodson. He was our "Reggie White" in 2010.
I was sad when he left but knew it was the right thing to do
Woodson would've looked great in the def backfield last year for the Packers.
It's game day! it's great to be back at Lambeau Field
That post has 1200 likes in the 1st 5 min's he posted.
I should have included James Jones in the thread. Great to see him back at Lambeau as well.
He should've challenged the defense before the playoff game to make a freakin' stop.
Cwood and James Jones......two former packers easy to cheer for. No queenesque departures like Jennings, Sharper, Longewell and Ilk.
No Bert Favre whiney bitch stuff
Lost in the #Raiders win: S Charles Woodson played 96% of the snaps per @PFF, despite dealing with a painful dislocated shoulder. Beast.

The biggest factor in that playoff game was the death of Philbin's son. These guys are human - there is no way that didn't affect them -especially the offensive guys who spend 8-10 hours a day with him.
Jim Brown was greatest football player of all time. But I'm beginning to wonder if it's Charles Woodson.

Best HS player in Ohio.
Heisman Trophy winner
NCAA National Champion
Defensive rookie of the year.
Defensive player of the year.
Super Bowl Champion.
First Ballot HOF.
Seriously, you can't be a better football player than that list.
You forgot to add "Rule Changer" for the AFC game vs Pats. 
Top 10 all time in INT's - 62
Top 5 all time in non-offensive TD's - 13
This blew me away. The closest active defensive player on the career INT list after Woodson's 62 is DeAngelo Hall with 43 career INT's.
Football player.
Former Packer Will Blackmon just tweeted this out when some folks challenged Mike Freeman's comment.

Plus this in 2009:
Charles Woodson, former University of Michigan football standout and 1997 Heisman trophy winner, has made a gift of $2 million to the new University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Women's Hospital. The new hospital is scheduled to open in the fall of 2012.
Woodson's gift to the new U-M C.S. Mott Children's Hospital will support groundbreaking pediatric research by funding The Charles Woodson Clinical Research Fund.The fund will advance the work of researchers doing early-stage work to help children with life-threatening illnesses that include cancer, heart disease, kidney disorders and autism.In addition, the gift will support the construction of the new U-M C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Women's Hospital, where the lobby will be named in his honor."My reason for working so hard has always been to be a part of something great," says Woodson, who recently spent time visiting sick children at Mott. "My gift to Mott is so that I can be part of the great things that are happening there, and so that I can help aspiring young doctors do their own outstanding work to help children."
When he picked off Cutler again, I couldn't contain my laughter.
We'll never have another player like Charles Woodson on the Packers.
Yes, he's the best football player I've ever seen.

One of the best parts about it is, much like Reggie, he came to GB to find his true glory. Raider fans can claim him as a Raider, like Eagle fans do with White, but both had to leave those teams to get the coveted ring, the cherry on top of the stellar career. Chuck was and is still such a pleasure to watch on the football field.
Agree 10000% on Chuck Wood.
I wonder what would have happened, if the Packers didn't have a strong coach in MM, when Wood came in. The balls it took for MM to knock C Wood down a bit, is incredible, but in the end, it made both men and the team that much better.
Well, he's definitely up there.
I bought the NFL's Top 100 video. Top guy on defense is Lawrence Taylor at #3. That dude was surreal. Maybe not a likable guy, but wow, could he ball.
Top 10 all time in INT's - 62
Top 5 all time in non-offensive TD's - 13

What really blew me way? He's still behind Darren Sharper.

True. Living in the DC suburbs, I saw LT totally run roughshod against the Hogs, no slouches they. Joe Gibbs basically invented the H-Back position using a TE in order to help contain Taylor.
Having said that Reggie's stretch with the Eagles was as good or better than anything LT put up. Truth be known Reggie was already starting the downside of his career when he came to GB. That he remained so dominant is a tribute to how good he was earlier in his career.
If you like smash mouth football it didn't get much better than the mid-to-late 1980s NFC East.
Plus if we counted Reggie's tenure in the USFL.
I think there's several very different guys behind Sharper now.
Hey cuqui,
I just checked and Reggie was selected #7 overall and was the second highest defensive player picked.
Yeah, I remember he was up there. When they were doing the reverse countdown on the network and Reggie was named, I knew LT would be the last defender. Can't pick Taylor ahead of Unitas (which the Top 100 did), though -- Johnny basically is the template for the modern NFL pocket, passing quarterback.
IIRC Dick Butkus was in the top 10 also, also deserved.

Needs one more pick 6 to tie...Rod Woodson for all time lead in the NFL for INT TDs
Sir Charles had 24 INTs in 11 years in Oakland.... and 38 INTs in 7 years in GB
forced 32 fumbles in his career, not including the one they stole from him on the Tuck Rule
