Charles Woodson the victim of Wikipedia vandalism

Wikipedia’s vetting process leaves something to be desired. 

The butthurt is strong in their fanbase.

People from the South change historical facts to make themselves feel better?

I haven't heard of such a thing since, *checks notes* their coverage of the Civil War.

Wikipedia is a source of information. However, Wikipedia can be edited by anyone with an internet connection. Therefore, Wikipedia is not a valid source of information.

Looks like its already been fixed. Wikipedia allows anyone to edit it, but these kind of rogue edits usually don't last long. 

I know Charles will congratulate Peyton on his achievement and send him some celebratory Woodson wine and whiskey.

Definitely a UT fan who also admires Professor Chaos.

"From now on I will dedicate my life to bringing chaos to the world that has rejected me! I will become the greatest supervillain the world has ever seen! Where I go, destruction will follow!  I shall start on Charles Woodson's Wikipedia page!"

To whoever fixes this, please also go to the NCAA basketball championship page and move Michigan into the spot vacated by Louisville.

Some hillbilly dude is very proud of himself and how smart he is as he sits in his mom’s basement and yells, “MA! THEM GRITS DUN YET?”

Does it matter? Is there anyone in the world that knows anything about sports not know the only defensive player to win the Heisman? 

@TruBluMich

Wikipedia is generally considered as accurate if not more accurate than the most recent encyclopedia editions. Plus for actual research purposes, it cites all their sources at the bottom of the page. 

"I know Charles will congratulate Peyton on his achievement and send him some celebratory Woodson wine and whiskey."

This would be awesome!  I can feel the anger rising in Peyton upon receipt of said wine and whiskey!

They were really sore back in 1997.  They thought Peyton was the anointed one.

There is an AM radio station in Nashville that had sports talk in the evening when you could get the signal up north.  The callers talked about "seceding from the Heisman" and forming the "Peyton Manning Award".  Real bitter and thought they were screwed by northern elites.

I had an epic contribution to Mork's Wiki page when he 'retired' from msu.... If i can find a screenshot of it, i'll post it here.

To be fair to Peyton Manning, he was pretty great on SNL recently and is surprisingly good in his insurance commercials. 

On February 4, 2020 Dantonio announced he would be stepping down, in shame, as head
coach of the Michigan State football team as a result of recent recruiting violations exposed
by former staffer Curtis Blackwell.[

I thought I had a screenshot, but all i could find was the copied text...

So is there no replying to comments now?  Sort of kills the conversation.

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but you can see the revisions and they are usually corrected within a day.  It looks like the Manning edit was made yesterday and corrected today. (If I'm reading it right.)

Hillbillies give grits a bad name.  Properly prepared, grits are freaking delicious and should be allowed to have their reputation unsullied by the unrefined hill-folk.

Nothing I wrote about Wikipedia is untrue. I do, however, have respect for those who devote their lives to fixing it when it is vandalized.

Michael Scott had some wisdom about Wikipedia that has caused me to trust it implicitly. Can't seem to pull up the reference right now...

I had not realized there hadn't been a single Heisman winner at Alabama prior to Saban...

Bryce Young was the 4th Alabama player to win the Heisman.
 

The problem with hillbilly grits is that they mix in sugar. What self-respecting grit-eater puts sugar in the bowl? That's disgusting. Proper grits should be seasoned with butter, salt, and pepper. Maybe some hot sauce if you're really adventurous. I would also accept bacon bits. 

But sugary grits? GTFO. 

butter and salt.... agreed.

Fucking Fulmer. He just can't let it go.

Fucking Fulmer. He just can't let it go.

/sorry double post.

The Heisman site actually had this wrong maybe a decade ago. I emailed them and they fixed it almost immediately. If only we could erase Phil Fulmer so easily.

You mean the War of Northern Aggression? 

Haters are going to hate.

it still shows the NFL draft position as 1st on the list. That would be true if it were Peyton, but Woodson went 4th.

My good deed for the day: I restored the picture of Woodson that was previously on the page. The name was already restored.

May be us Michigan fans can change Wikipedia, that Michigan outright won the National Championship in '97. We were the best and number 1 season through the bowl games. The coaches gave their pal a share of the NC because he was retiring.

Pity there's no reply capability in 3.1, which makes keeping comments in context difficult.  That said, Peyton has acquired a reputation as being a loveable and funny guy, but I still remember his boorish behavior while at Tennessee, shoving his hairy package in the face of female trainers while they were working on him.  He's always struck me as an entitled guy who lives to be the center of attention.  Fuck him and Tennessee in general.
