Title: Aww, crap....another great one is gone......
Post by: eddiek on December 26, 2004, 11:35:09 AM
Reggie White, all time NFL sack leader, died this morning at age 43 of a heart attack.
We are losing these guys almost as fast as we are losing our WW2 vets........

Mr. White
Even though you spent most of your career terrorizing my fav team, I admired and loved watching you play.

That's too bad... and from "sleep apnia" at that.

BTW... Bruce Smith is the all time sacks leader.  Reggie held the lead when he retired in 2000, but bruce passed him in 2003.

Reggie

Not only was he a great NFL player.
But was a good man.

Something that is becomming more and more rare in sports these days.

Damn shame

Funny.  MSN says 'sleep apnia' and Headline News is saying 'heart attack'.

Not only was he a great football player but also a preacher and a racist.

WW2 vets & football players?  Interesting comparison.

I wasn't intending to compare them.  I was just typing what was in my mind at the time.
Also, I had forgotten that Bruce Smith, another one of my favorite players, had surpassed Reggie White's record.
In any case, another of the NFL's great ones is gone.

Living in central NJ I've gotten to see, and hear ALOT of RW
in the last 15-20 years.
And thats the first time I've ever heard the term racist applied or associated with his name.

Care to justify that claim?

Didn't Reggie White lead a prayer for the Senate or Congress and get lambasted for it?  I seem to recall him either leading a prayer before a session of one of the governmental bodies, or maybe addressing them, and getting hammered for being so blunt and "un"politically correct.

Here is the link to his speech:

Do I care?  No, I don't.

Let the ignorant masses diefy someone simply based on his limited physical ability to excel in football.

More proof that the universe must be comprised of stupidity since it seems to be most common.

Oh, I'm sorry Dred.  You have surely shown me the light.

Reggie 'Right' White.  You were truly an inspirational light for all (bigots) to follow.  You're selfless service to show that blacks can stereotype just as good as any white man (since that's what we are good at) doesn't go unnoticed.

Rest in Peace (since you surely have tired yourself showing your ignorance, especially for an 'educated' man.)

There you go Dred.  I know that I can't compete with your witty quips so I bow before your infinite wisdom and 'I'm rubber, you're glue' taunts.

Warning:  Ghey Mr. Black 'thumbs up' follows.

:aok

Diefy?

Drunky, what life do you consider worthy of comment when having passed?

I guess Reggie was just a pile of crap to you, so nobody else should post regarding his death?

Drunky, you are yourself a mass of ignorance floating in your own stupid universe. Get a job.

Either way a man is dead and that is a lose.
May he rest in peace.

And besides If God can forgive him for being a bigott then why cant we?
