Remember when the Green Bay Packers kicked Charles Woodson the hell out of town because he was washed up and couldn’t play anymore?
Well, that move never looked very good, especially when they tried to plug in a couple of clowns named M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillian at safety. The Packers finally found their man at safety with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, but they probably wouldn’t have needed to if they’d have kept Woodson around a little longer.
And yes, we realize Woodson was scheduled to make $10 million the season he was released. We also know he wasn’t offered a restructured deal because the brain trust thought his skills had eroded.
So Woodson signed with Oakland. And guess what?
Last night, we were once again reminded that Charles Woodson is still awesome.
Woodson becomes first player in NFL history with 50 interceptions and 20 sacks

First player in history.
And it’s not just that.
Chuckles has 82 tackles and two picks this season. He had 97 tackles, 2 sacks and a pick last year.
Washed up!
Really, it’s not even important that Big Ted totally boned it on that call. The Packers have their guy now.
But we will always love Chuck. Even if he’s lost a step, it’s important to remember he had 10 more steps than anyone else to begin with.
Because Chuck is a fucking boss.
