Hearing TV on the Radio

Ickey Ickey Woods Y'all!


When I was 11 and hoping, praying for the Redskins to repeat as world champions, Ickey Woods came along and unexpectedly ruled the universe. If you think I'm overstating things a bit, consider this: he scored 18 touchdowns, created a nationwide dance sensation and went to the Super Bowl as a rookie. As a rookie named Ickey. Then he promptly fell off the face of the earth for 17 years before resurfacing to appear on SBL...

 Hear Ickey Woods on Sports Bloggers Live

What follows is pretty damn great: 10 minutes of conversation about the Shuffle, Ickey's offensive line-playing wife, his brother Cokey(!), the endzone celebrations of today and, oh, so much more. My brother sums it up well...

The man is pretty much hilarious.  My favorite quote from the interview came when Ickey was explaining the creation of the Shuffle.  After demonstrating it in its most primitive form to teammate Rickey Dixon, Dixon replied, “Maaaaan, that thing is whack! You need to put some steps to it!”
At this point, it's pretty safe to say that if we get Don Majkowski, Timmy Smith and Christian Okoye on the program, my career checklist will be pretty much complete.

    Okoye picking up the sport in 1984 and winning a rushing title in 1989 is the best reason I ever saw to skip practice.
