This week we are taking it back to the NFL. During the annual Thanksgiving day game, the Lions matched up with the Packers, who came out with the 34-12 victory. One huge contributor to the victory and WHOA winner for the week is corner back Charles Woodson. 6'1 and 202lbs. Need I say more? He's ripped!
With two other Pro-Bowl defense man out of the game due to injuries, Woodson did what he does best. He ended his game with 2 interceptions (one returned 38 yards for a touchdown), a sack, 4 tackles, and a forced and recovered fumble. He also held Calvin Johnson, the Lions go-to wide receiver, to 2 receptions totaling 10 yards. Not bad for the veteran corner back!
But Woodson has played at an elite level for many years. Before his college years, Woodson attended Freemont Ross High School in his home town of Freemont. During his years there he was named Ohio's "Mr. Football" and USA Today's All-American selection. He also left his mark by setting the school record for rushing yards and scoring.
In 1995 after graduating from high school, Woodson played at the University of Michigan. His freshman year he was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches, and Second Team All-Big Ten by the media. Since that year he started all but the first two games.
His Sophomore year at U of M led him to more records and rewards. He was an AP First Team All-American, All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches and the media, Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year and was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. He also set the record for breaking up 15 passes.
In his Junior year as a Wolverine, Woodson helped lead the team to the Rose Bowl and win the National Championship. He also won the Heisman Trophy (third to do so at Michigan) and to this day is the only player in the history of NCAA Division I-A football to win it as a primarily defensive player. He also received the Jim Thorpe Award, after being a finalist the previous year. At the end of the year he decided to declare his eligibility for the draft. In the 1998 NFL Draft, Woodson was taken by the Oakland Raiders as a fourth pick in the first round.
In his first year as a Raider, he started every game. By the end of the year he was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press.
From then on things have looked up for Woodson. The only road block that he has come across was the turf toe he suffered his second year a shoulder injury he faced two years later and a broken leg in 2006. Considering the team record and new coach that was brought in for the Raiders, Woodson weighed his options and decided to sign a 7 year contract with the Packers in 2006 when his deal was up.
Woodson has put up astounding numbers since then. He has more interceptions, sacks, and touchdowns being a Packer for 4 years than he had as a Raider for 8 years. He just keeps improving. Statistically, Woodson had his best season the first year he came to the Packers (2006). He had a career high 8 interceptions and 26 passes defended. This season, he is on his way to breaking more records. He is currently tied in second place with Asante Samuel for the most interceptions this season with 7. First place is a tie between Jairus Byrd and Darren Sharper with 8 interceptions. But we still have 5 weeks left of play (if not more!). That leaves a lot of time for Woodson to top his best.
And NO we are not done with this hottie yet! In his spare time, Woodson likes to be with his son, read, bowl, and play piano. He also has a growing interest in the wine industry and has leased acres of vineyards in Nappa Valley, California (Thanks Raiders!). He also has his own signature wine named "Twentyfour" that comes in two varieties but is produced in small quantities.
He is also a VERY charitable man. Woodson has donated $150,000 for academic scholarships to the University of Michigan for students with financial needs studying kiniesology. On top of that he has volunteered at a youth football camp that former teammate Zack Crockett put on, and has contributed to events to benefit Donald Driver's Foundation and his celebrity softball game. Also, this year Woodson donated $2 million to the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital for pediatric research. He spends time giving back to the community by visiting and donating to children in need.
Charles Woodson is HOTT! Can you get much better than this guy? Barely!
Well, I could go on forever about him but its time to wrap it up and save some hottness for the next WHOA winner. See you all next week!

Jimmie Johnson
Alright ladies, this weeks WHOA winner is a quick one. A quick racer that is! I would like to introduce to you, the young, handsome, NASCAR stud, Jimmie Johnson!
Johnson is on his way to making history this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. He has won the Sprint Cup Championship the past 3 years [the second driver to do so, behind Cale Yarborough ('76, '77, '78)] and plans to make it a 4th, this Sunday. This year during his race for the Cup, Johnson has placed 1st in 3 regular season races and 4 post season races. But those aren't his only wins.
Johnson was a winner ever since childhood. He started racing motorcycles at the age of 5 and by the time he was 8 he won his first race. Not long after, he tried racing on four wheels, competing in 3 different leagues and obtaining 25 wins, 6 championships, and 100 top 3 finishes. Pretty impressive for a youngin.
He made his way to the professional scene in 1998, entering the American Speed Association circuit and 3 events in the NASCAR Busch Series. By 2000 he was a full time driver in the NASCAR Busch Series. Not short after, Johnson came to a dilemma when Herzog Motorsports (owner of his car) lost their sponsorship. Johnson was in a predicament. But luckily he came across Jeff Gordon at a race and decided to ask him for some advice; probably one of the smartest decisions of his career. Gordon hooked him up with Hendrick Motorsports and they agreed to offer him a deal that would help develop him as a racer.
In his rookie year Johnson finished in the top 10 of 21 races and had 3 wins. He was runner up of the Rookie of the Year Award, and did not win because its based off of wins not total points. But this was only the beginning of his progressing career.
He won 4 races in 2003, 8 in 2004, 5 in 2005, 6 in 2006, 9 in 2007, and 7 in 2008. Bottom line... Johnson is a winner. But that is not all Johnson is.
He started his own foundation called the Jimmie Johnson Foundation. The foundation is aimed to help further the dreams of other charitable organizations such as Make-A-Wish the American Red Cross, and Habitat for Humanity. Who doesn't want a smokin' hott winner who wants to help their fellow people?
Now-a-days the California native lives in North Carolina enjoying his life with wife, Chandra (Janway). He just signed a deal with HBO for a show called "24/7" that will follow him to show his personality outside of the car (Lowes #48). It will run from January until the Daytona 500 in February, so make sure you catch this hunk on air!
Thanks for chiming in and make sure you stop by next week to read about the next WHOA winner!

Joseph Cada
Who doesn't want a hott, young, multi-millionaire? Well this weeks winner is not only our youngest winner for the WHOA award, but he is also the youngest winner of the World Series of Poker Main Event. Our winner, Joseph Cada walked away from the WSOP final table with nearly $8.5 million.
In the Main Event on Tuesday, Cada battled back and forth with Darvin Moon to win the title and huge pot of cash. Moon was up in chips with 108.5 million before the lead was taken by Cada. With a Jack of hearts and 9 of diamonds, Cada called Moons (8 and 7 of spades) all-in bet. On the board, the cards were a 10 of clubs, 5 of diamonds, 9 of hearts, 10 of diamonds, and 3 of hearts, which gave Cada the chip lead (122.3 million - 63%).
In the final hand, Cada was dealt a pair of 9s, while Moon held a same-suit Queen and Jack. Cada raised 3 million on the hand and Moon called while raising 8 million. Once Cada saw Moons raise he went all-in and Moon called his bet, all before any cards were even flipped. The dealer laid down the flop - an 8 and 2 of clubs and a 7 of spades. The first river card turned over was a King of hearts which gave Cada and his supporters high anxiety. The final river card was a 7 of clubs, relieving his stress and giving Cada the win with his pair of nines.
Cada earned a spot for the final table after surviving a field of 6,494 players this past July. But before the main event, he cashed twice in Event 13 and 34 for a combined $28,214. Once he was among the chip leaders of Event #34, Cada was eliminated by Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, PokerStars Team Pro. After his elimination, Cada was focused. He finally made his way to the final table and earned seat #7 for the ultimate prize. He would leave with at least $1.2 million no matter what place he ranked. One by one players dropped and it left Cada with Moon, the 46 year old poker veteran.
Cada started playing poker 6 years ago but has been a professional and playing online for 4. He enrolled in one semester at a local community college, in his native state - Michigan, before dropping out and deciding to pursue poker as a profession. He has been involved with many tournaments but this has been his biggest and best win yet, with the record high $8.5 million.
He has been described as very laid back, which definitely shows while playing the game he loves. He may not be a muscular, sweaty, athlete but he surely has the mind and competitive spirit to play the game. Not to mention he is cute and the newest multi-millionaire around!
Next week we will have an all new WHOA winner so make sure you check out the next hottie in line!

We are half way through the NFLs 2009-2010 season and I didn't want to wait any longer to present a W.H.O.A award to a well deserving football stud. After an outstanding game this weekend against his former team, the award goes to Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Brett Favre.
Returning to Lambeau Field this weekend was bittersweet for Favre. As he entered the stadium, he recieved an unwelcoming set of "Boo's" that lasted for the duration of the game. But it seemed as if Favre didn't let the fans get to him. He completed 17/28 passes, threw 244 yards, and had four touch downs.
Not only did Favre have an outstanding game but he made history that very day. Favre left Lambeau with the all-time NFL record for passing yardage at one stadium, 28,028 yards. But this is not the only record that Favre obtains. His accomplishments include: most career touchdown passes, most career passing yards, most career pass completions, most career pass attempts, most consecutive starts, and most career victories as a starting quarterback. He also is a three time AP Most Valuable Player, led the Packers to seven division championships and four NFC Championship Games (winning two of the four), and made two Super Bowl appearances, winning one of them.
Now ladies, who wouldn't crush on a man with such success?
He was the face of the Green Bay Packers ever since 1992 when he was traded from the Atlanta Falcons. He was only 22 years old when he took over the quarterback position with great satisfaction from coaches and fans. He made most of his history with the Packers before he announced his retirement in 2007. It was a hard time for Packer fans but people were grateful for the time and dedication he put into the team.
When training camp was beginning in 2008, Favre decided to reconsider his retirement. He was traded by the Packers to the New York Jets in exchange for a contingent fourth-round pick in the 2009 draft. He led the Jets to a 9-7 record for the season (improving from the previous years 4-12 record). But he then fell back into the thought of retirement and left the Jets after the 2008 season.
But once again, Favre reconsidered retirement when the 2009 season came close to starting. He joined the Minnesota Vikings after months of debating whether or not he was going to come back and signed a 2 year, $25 million contract.
He not only loves the game of football, but he also loves his family that consists of a wife and two daughters. But as the loving fathers career became successful, the family developed struggles along the way. In 2004 his wife Deanna was diagnosed with breast cancer. After intense treatment that year, she recovered and created the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation which supports breast cancer education and breast imaging and diagnosis services for women.
Brett Favre is indeed a hall-of-fame candidate and a man that has accomplished a lot in his NFL years. He is also a very good-looking man for his age, especially with those Wrangler jeans on! So ladies, keep your eyes open while we are able to watch Favre continue to dominate in the NFL (for one more year at least!).

It's October, and that means baseball is at its best. Heading into the World Series, there have been many players worthy of the W.H.O.A. award. But one handsome man stands out with his statistics and consistency. Our winner this week is New York Yankee's left-handed pitcher, Andy Pettitte!
This Sunday, Pettitte led the Yankees to a game six American League Championship Series victory that guaranteed the Yankees a spot for the 2009 World Series. He pitched 6.1 innings, struck out six batters, and allowed only one run off of seven hits. This marks Pettite's fifth series-clinching win in his professional career.
This tall, dark, and handsome athlete has a 14-8 record and a 4.16 ERA for the regular season. For the post season, he has a 2.37 ERA and 15 strike outs for the three games he has pitched thus far.
Pettitte has seemed to always be a standout baseball player. He joined the Yankee's in 1995 and stayed with the team until 2003, leaving with four World Series Championship titles.
In 2004 he signed a three year, $31.5 million deal with the Houston Astros but started his first season short with an elbow injury. In 2005, Pettitte came back with a 2.39 ERA and the Astros went to their first World Series. When 2006 came around he had a 14-13 record, 4.20 ERA, and the Astros missed the playoffs. He then took a deal with the Yankees in 2007 and has been pitching there since.
In Major League Baseball, Pettitte has never had a losing record. He has played in 38 postseason games and has had an impressive 16 playoff wins, which is the most in baseball history. His postseason career includes a 16-9 record, 3.89 ERA, and 154 strikeouts.
There are also a few awards and honors that Pettitte has won over the years. In 1996 he was an AL selection for the All-Star Game and the winner of the Good Guy Award, from the New York Sports Photographers. In 2001, he was selected for the All-Star Game a second time and eventually he was named MVP of the ALCS.
But sorry ladies, the sizzling hot lefty with the sexy chin dimple is taken. Off the field, Pettitte has built a family with a wife and four children. The Christian man has seemed to have a mountain of success.
Make sure you tune in to the 2009 World Series starting this Wednesday, October 28th, to see how much more Andy Pettitte and the New York Yankees will achieve.
