yh Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 You can make fun of whitey, but no one else.... Well, it's only fair, John.He shoulda' beat the Royals in '85 and the Twins in '87. Okay, joking aside, I always admired Reggie White as a football player and believed him to be a decent, loving man who was secure in his faith and sincerely wanted to do good. He'll be greatly missed on a number of levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Quantumfreak, I hope the Packers find it okay to retire the number on the road.I think it's only appropriate for the Eagles and Packers to retire the number at the same game, which would be next year's Eagles-Packers game at Lincoln Financial Field. Works for me. Maybe they will do a league-wide tribute that week. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

Waffles Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 The Andrea Kramer report on SportsCenter today really changed the way I thought of him. She said he hadn't been to church in four years, and that he had realized most of his beliefs as far as religion go were based on what other people told him, and not from his own personal experiences. He was learning Hebrew in an attempt to read the scripture without the spin and translation so he could decide what they meant for himself. I hope that he was able to find closure before his passing.

Reggie's death is probably reinforcing his timetable for leaving the game. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity".

MC Buffalo Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Quantumfreak, I hope the Packers find it okay to retire the number on the road.I think it's only appropriate for the Eagles and Packers to retire the number at the same game, which would be next year's Eagles-Packers game at Lincoln Financial Field. Works for me. Maybe they will do a league-wide tribute that week. I fully agree that the Eagles and Packers should hold some type of ceremony for White, and the Panthers can for the cup of coffee he had with that organization. But I don't see why the WHOLE NFL would need to have some type of ceremony at every stadium on the same weekend. He was a great player, but a lot of great ex-players die every year. One of the most ridiculous statements you hear whenever someone dies is... " No on I spoke to had anything bad to say about fill in the blank" Of course no one has anything bad to say about him, it's just plain bad taste and rude to the grieving family to say anything bad of someone who just passed away. Reggie White was a great Eagle and Packer this I can attest to first hand because I watch football, and from what I hear he was a great humanitarian this I can not attest to first hand but I hear enough stories to believe it to be true. However he does NOT hold a special place in the hearts of most football fans in Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Atlanta etc....Let's not create some ideolic icon that is an untouchable myth of a man.
