bosox Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Whoa. Just wow. I'm speechless. I haven't been speechless about a death in awhile. Maybe since Earnhardt. This was unexpected, I just saw him on ESPN (I think) a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Wow. Even though I cheered against him when he was a Panther, I always respected Reggie White. I think everybody did. RIP to the Minister of Defense, one of the best NFL linemen of all-time, and an all around great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosox Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I think it was Chris Berman, maybe it was someone else on NFL Countdown who said it best. "Reggie White was a huge loss to everyone, because he felt like your friend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 This has truly a bad day so far. Reggie White passed away and, if you haven't heard , tsunamis, caused by a powerful earthquake, have killed over 7000 throughout Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Reggie White. A great man. A man of God. A man who loved life and loved every person. I feel like i almost knew the man. It almost feels like a personal loss to me.A sad day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moser316 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I think I speak for everybody in Packer Nation when I say that our thoughts and prayers are with the White family. Although he died young, I'm sure he touched many lives and accomplished more in 43 years than some do in twice that time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 terrible terrible day. not only did reggie white die, but a Vanderbilt University football player was gunned down this morning. dying in your sleep is bad enough, but to be violently killed like that is just horrible. why do these terrible things to each other? it makes me wonder how good we are really doing as as a society and as individual people. Reggie White was not only a football player but also a minister who often preached about love and acceptance for each other. lets all take a lesson from Reggie, lets try to be the best people we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I'm shocked, saddened.Reggie was the kind of guy you couldn't root against. We'd have been a lot better off if he stayed around a bit longer to be a positive influence on a few more lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilaLogos Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 definitely a sad loss. I was too speechless. He was one of the best and most well liked players in this town. At least he'll reunite w/ his partner in crime: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
