bulldogbarks55 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 A very appropriate gesture. From all accounts Reggie White was one of the "class" guys in the NFL. Too bad this great man isn't still here to further the work of his ministry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Meh. I can't stand Reggie White, but I suppose he was a good player and would deserve it on those merits. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

BBTV Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Honestly, I think Reggie White was a closed minded hate filled individual who hid behind his faith as an excuse to act that way. This is coming from someone who watched his pre-Green Bay NFL career closely and who met and spoke with him on multiple occasions.However, I am not going to discount the genuinely good things he did for people and charities, and the positive impact he had on many people's lives. Nor will I discount his incredible talents, and the contributions he made to one of the best single-season defenses in NFL history (#1 against pass, run, and overall.)They were planning this for over 10 years, as they didn't allow his number to be issued ever since he left. So I think this would have happened even if he didn't pass away this year.

Redlands, CA Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I agree that his # should be retired but where do we stop? The Yankees for example will have no single digit #'s left once Torre and Jeter retire. Can't we just honor players by putting them in the Wall of Fame and the Hall of Fame? I mean Rice already wore Lagent's # 80 after it was retired, what is going to stop someone from wearing Reggie's # if they wanted it bad enough?

Jigga Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Reggie White had his faults like all the rest of us. Yes, his mouth was big, but so was his heart (the non-homophobic part, at least). His on field dominance is undeniable. He could easily be the greatest defensive player in the history of the NFL. However, tell me why would Carolina would retire his number, what did he do there? GB sure, Philly yep, but Carolina? I barely remember his time there. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.
