Packers cornerback Charles Woodson was one of 11 people who escaped a house fire in Bay Harbor, Michigan, on Saturday, WTMJ is reporting.
No one was injured, but the multimillion-dollar home burned to the ground.
According to the report, Woodson and his business partner, Rick Ruiz, were in the home and smelled smoke around 4 a.m.
The Petoskey News-Review reports that there was a gathering at the home for “a celebration for the family for a large gift and naming of the University of Michigan Women’s Hospital.”
Woodson donated $2 million to the hospital last year. The owner of the home that burned down is a member of a family whose foundation donated $15 million to the hospital.
Whoa. Glad no one was injured.
Wow, glad to here he’s ok
Glad he (and the others) made it out in time.
Damn, class move on the donation though.
Sounds like someone might have been play some “Baseball” ala Richard Pryor. I’ve never seen a house burn down, let alone be in one.
He Played in Oakland; He’s used to seeing once promising treasures go down in flames
It is never good to leave the pipe burning Charles. Glad no one was injured.
Wow, crazy. Glad Woodson is Ok.
who invited andre rison and his b*tch?
woodson was hanging with pal andre rison at the time, listening to some TLC….
Cue the haters from Minnesota. Never about class, always being haters. GB fans would have class enough to be thankful everyone is okay. They have those values, along with loyalty, that you would never know.
Thank god!!! Why do bad things always happen to good people?
I am glad that there was no deaths or crispy fried injuries. Don’t sweat the house,sounds like those rich folk will be fine.Woodson is lucky that his pot smoking didn’t hurt anyone.As well as making it out ok…being he has lost all his speed…
Holy crap….A family member that has 15mil to donate owns the house! Jeezuz
Just got a nugget from a friend in Michigan….Woodson was stoned frying chicken..passed out and a fire engulfed the kitchen. What a douche,could have killed someone!!!
Where there’s a fire there is smoke.
haha there are some good comments here glad that everyones ok
^ You mean Left Eye Lopes? Can’t exactly invite someone that died 8 years ago. Jackass
who invited andre rison and his b*tch?
=====
His b*tch is dead. Grow up.
They are naming the new wing of the hospital Ladybug House.
*** Cue insensitive comments by Vikings fans. ***
Seriously though, glad to hear nobody was injured. Woodson is a class act. I am so glad that he is a member of the Packers organization and get to see him play every Sunday.
Incoming classless comments from Vikings fans…wait for it…wait for it.
Woodson=Class
I’ll tell ya, that’s a sign from the football gods… He said last week that Aaron Rogers is hands down the best QB in the league…
Rogers is good, but there are at least three guys above him, all with rings, two with MVP awards, and one the greatest of all time. (Manning)
Maybe Woodson will be a little less blasphemous in the future.
There will be no comments from vikings fans. This post has nothing to do with brett favre,
Vick did it.
Let’s see how this one “spins”……..money talks and these were all rich people….my money says that after a little payola, the gardener will take the fall.
GobiasINC_1& Calistin-
Worry about your boy Woodcock and quit sucking our Viking c@cks!
Grats Pervy. You failed to be funny, not once but twice.
I was reading this and just waiting for the “and maybe Charles Woodson will learn to run out on a field like he does a burning house”
Or some other lame, overwhelmingly witless comment at the end.
Then I saw that it was MD Smith who wrote this and not Florio. At least we can keep it classy on here sometimes.
pervy harvin writes his name in poop .. and then picks his nose without washing his hands …
Hey Pervy your the Douche. Stick to queens tid bits you low life!
So what he got released or traded out of Green Bay?
Viking fan. Glad everyone escaped ok. Houses can be replaced. Brett Favre plays for the Vikings. HA!

=====================================
No…. Packer fans find it cool to make fun of William Perry when he almost died, Jay Cutler having diabetes and having their 5 year-old yell obscenities at Aaron Rogers just because he was not Brett Favre.
Always classy cheesedicks.

We are all relieved to learn Charles Woodson and his family escaped the burning house.
Woodson escapes injury again!!
Good thing he is faster than fire.
While other teams have players facing suspension this offseason the Green Bay Packers players are out donating money to hospitals and doing good for society.
Thank goodness for the moral leadership of the Green Bay Packers and their players. Too bad the rest of the NFL cannot come close to their example.
lol reading the comments in here makes me proud that I never gave a thought of being a Viking fan … they give losers a bad rap.
See? He still has top-end speed.
He escaped oakland,
then he escaped a burning house.
How do you allow your house to burn to the ground? A real man can contain a burning house..
I’ve never known anyone, or seen a respectable person’s house burn to the ground..
Seems a bit juvenile, no?
Shame
Pervy, make that three.
Don’t fall asleep with the blunt burning but good to hear everyone woke up to get out. That’s a bad time of day for a house to go up.
Pervy not only trolls this blog, he trolls Loring Park looking for butt pie.

Really, this should come as no surprise because Charles Woodson never gets burned.
LMAO You sensitive Pack fairies who haunt Viking threads just can’t swallow your own medicine! I like Woodcock,he can’t cover my receivers.
Poo Flinging Monkey- Did you say something punk??
HE SHOULDVE STAYED IN OAKLAND AND THIS UPCOMING 2010 SEASON NO-ONE WOULD BE THROWING ON THE WOODSON/ASOMUGHA CONNECTION..ON THEIR WAY TO THE SUPERBOWL.
INSTEAD HE IS IN GB WHERE HE WONT GET TO PLAY IN ANOTHER SUPERBOWL LIKE HE DID FOR OAKLAND IN 2003.
THE RAIDERS ARE BOUND TO GO THERE AGAIN THIS DECADE…THEY DO EACH OTHER DECADE..
TOO BAD WOODSON WONT BE THERE
Might need some of that 15 million back.

Good one, it takes alot of speed to get out of Oakland. Not too many players can escape Oakland, and still play in the NFL for years after words.
Favre sucks.

Yes, thank goodness for those fine young leaders like Johnny Jolly and Spencer Havner. It’s not like those 2 guys are facing possible suspensions…
That’s a shame. I’m glad he’s ok though. As much as I hate the Packers, you never want to hear about someone’s home burning down. Best of luck Woodson, good thing ya signed that new “multi-million” dollar deal afterall…

I think Bob forgot about Underwood and Jolly, the TE Havner, AJ Hawk…..great leadership with high moral character no doubt.
Pervy -
We like Winfield and the rest of your crappy secondary. QB’s and WR’s are licking their chops at the incredibly weak and sinking Vikes secondary. Should be easy for Jermichael and the boys to pick them apart…just gotta run around them…they are slow and not able to tackle.
Cue the haters from Minnesota. Never about class, always being haters.
Meanwhile Packer fans are having mock funerals for Brett Favre, talk about class!! Also anyone find it curious that Woodson and his “business associate” were in the house at 4:00 in the morning. Maybe Woodson really likes covering tight ends.

……It’s RODGERS, not Rogers.
You must be thinking of Mr Rogers, and no he was not a good quarterback.
@ LBPACKFAN-You are right on! We are doomed. 13-3 at the worst,Vikings will be leading the NFC this coming season.I am not the type to say this but I will…..This is our year! shhh
Pervy youre an ass candle
Your team will be third in the AFC Central behing the Packers and Bears oh yes Lions too that makes you 4th place maybe in 3010

==============================================
Only funny joke on here. Everyone else either tried too hard, or came off like school on Saturday…..no class.
I tried to stay out of the back & forth Vikes vs. Pack beef but, some of it deserves response.
Bob nelson: some Packers donate money to worthy womens causes and thats great, other Packers donate money to not so worthy womens causes ie; thongs, strippers, sexual favors, rent money, car notes etc.
Leroys butler: what do you know about Loring Park? You been doing some investigating? A little undercover work mabey? Hmmm, you just might be a real PACKER.
One more thing, a multimillion dollar home and no sprinkler system!? Or top of the line fire alarm(s)!?
Go VIKES!!!!!!!!!!
Where Big Ben when you need him, he could of pissed on it
That’s pretty much the only way to unload a $15 million dollar home in Michigan these days.
Enough with the “classy” comments.
There isn’t a shred of class anywhere on this site, and that’s precisely how we like it. All the Viking fans, Pack fans, Saints fans, Steelers fans (who are the worst of all), and everyone else that posts here, right on up to Florio, have no class whatsoever. If that’s a problem, you’re in the wrong place.
That being said. Let’s let all the Pack haters get their jabs at Woodson now. We know they won’t have much to say about the man once the season begins. Thankfully, at least no one got hurt in the fire.
I’m a Raiders fan and Charles Woodson was my favorite Raider for a long time. He’s still one of my favorite players, Aso taking his place as #1. I’m glad to see he and everyone seems to have made it out safely. He was never this mature while he was in Oakland and still a young man helping out with charities and such. I wish he would’ve had the maturity to study film and not party as much while in Oakland but I can’t blame him when I’m guilty of the same thing (being young and partying). I’m glad he finally grew wiser. I just wish it were with Oakland, although he would be extremely miserable right now. Ha.
P.F.T. Has “Jumped The Shark”
No…. It had nothing to do with the P.F.T. articles, or the information provided by Florio and his staff.
P.F.T. has “Jumped The Shark” by allowing readers to post more than one comment in each article.
Why on earth, PFT would allow the BRILLIANT comments by readers to be watered down by an idiot who continues to bait people to respond to his comment’s is beyond me.
The greatest thing about this site WAS ABOUT the articles, and then the one line great comments by the readers.
Now… The comment section is becoming a trash talk idiot fest against other people who have posted comments.
Led of course by… You All Know Who.
See Posts Set Forth Herein Above.
Time to switch to a battery powered dildo Woodson. Them electric ones have been known to cause fires when mixed with meth and Wisconsin cheese.
Jared Allen holds drunk redneck golf tournaments, Charles Woodson is donating money to a women’s hospital.
Say no more.
Pervy,
Isn’t your migrane ROY receiver the pothead? You make some of the dumbest accusations.
Do everyone a favor. Lock yourself in your house and light it on fire. It would be just another house that goes up in flames in the ghetto that nobody cares about and one less low life felon in the world. Please do us that favor.
Does it really surprise anyone that the Viking fans are out in full force with no class?
Bitter and envy is their trademark and it goes well beyond the fan base, it extends to their management and ownership who seem to think the best way to build a team is to take your rivals castoffs. That ignores the fact that there might have been a reason the Packers were letting these players go in the first place ( see BrINT’s INT in the NFC championship game for example).
If you ever wondered what no Lombardi trophies might do to the psyche of a fan base, just read the comments from the Viking fans above. Proof that choking in the big games can have devastating consequences
I think it is hilarious that there are about 6 to 10 posts about “cue those classless Vikings fans” but then there are only one or two posts, both by Pervy, that actually are trashing on the Packers or Woodson. Packers posters constantly fail on these boards. Youth and ignorance.

Who was the Defensive Player of the Year last year again? It seems to escape me, much like the chances of the Vikings super bowl run escaping into the arms of Tracy Porter……
Glad he is OK, sorry to hear about the home, however it can be replaced!!!
It’s almost some of you guys, not naming names, (Pervy) come on here just to bicker, not talk football.
If you have the time and motivation to come on here and do that, that’s fine I suppose. However, at least do it creatively or say things that are true. Saying the defending defensive player of the year can’t cover receivers isn’t funny or an insult to the team/player, it only makes you come off as an idiot.
Also, when 90% of your jokes/insults revolve around someone’s supposed liking of the same gender it shows your lack of cerebral ability to come up with something creative.
BrentFavre -
Good points, for sure. We should all feel somewhat bad for Pervy though…he just isnt very creative in general…never has been. Perhaps too many fruity Martini’s? I don’t know. I think for him knowing the end is near for his bottom feeding purple franchise makes him a little bit more jealous of a far more superiour organization like the Packers. Let the poor child have some fun. Perhaps we should laugh at his “creative” posts on here…? “LOL Pervy that’s a good one”
Does it really surprise anyone that the Viking fans are out in full force with no class?

Woodson’s a class guy, a great player, and the hospital donation is honorable. It is wierd that the whole frigging house burned down though. At minimum, you’d think Underwood could have stopped by to spray some jizz, or Jolly some codine, on the fire to help put it out.

Get over yourself dude, it’s not like you know Woodson personally. Insurance will cover his losses anyway.
I’m a little nervous about the Packers financial report which is supposed to come out today, I’m afraid it might be really bad news and upset all my PFT packer fan friends. There’s no way the league could shut the Packers down this season is there?? Maybe the news won’t be that bad and things will work out.
Wipackman,
When did we start playing in the afc? And last I checked, its the north now, not the central.

i, as a vikings fan, would like to express my relief that everyone in this situation is okay. things can be replaced, human life cannot…there are enough tragedies that happen in just the small sample of humanity that is the nfl and i am glad to see it turned out a lot better than it could have been.
that said…the first place you had to go to was the fans. you didn’t say how glad you were woodson is okay…you immediately had to try and take the comments to a sub-human level with the petty rivalry crap.
GB fans can be just as classless as the rest of the nfl’s fans. i dunno how many times i’ve read a jackass comment about the I35 bridge falling in MN-a situation in which PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIED-from a cheesehead on this site. i’ve also personally witnessed a middle aged cheesehead physically threaten a child of no more than 10 because he had a vikes jersey on.
don’t pretend your precious packers have an immunity to jackass fans. EVERY team has those fans. to pretend otherwise is denial, delusion, and idiocy.

only half serious…pervy’s whole purpose on these boards is to say anything (no matter how outlandish) to will rile up the packer faithful. this is his goal. if you get sucked in he has achieved his goal…this is what i meant by he wins.
“he wins” doesn’t mean he’s right…it means he got the effect he wanted.
