December 26, 200421 yr Author Reggie White dies of heart attack December 26, 2004 BRISTOL, Connecticut (Ticker) - Defensive end Reggie White, a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame who retired as the NFL's all-time sacks leader in 2000, died early Sunday of a heart attack at his home near Huntersville, North Carolina, ESPN reported. White turned 43 last week. Nicknamed "The Minister of Defense," White had 198 career sacks with the Philadelphia Eagles (1985-92), Green Bay Packers (1993-98) and Carolina Panthers (2000). White went to two Super Bowls with Green Bay, winning a ring following the 1996 season. "Today our beloved husband, father and friend passed away," White's wife, Sara, said in a statement, the network reported. "His family appreciates your thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of Reggie White. We want to thank you in advance for honoring our privacy."
December 26, 200421 yr I don't wish death on anybody, and I am never happy when someone dies, but he was an bigoted idiot
December 26, 200421 yr Biggoted idiot? Why do you say that? Because he had the balls to tell it like it is in front of the Wisconsin State Legislature? Reggie White, not just the greatest D-Lineman ever, not just another Packer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but a great human being. I hate ESPN focusing on White as the Packer or the Eagle. Lets focus on White the person, who before his death was studying hebrew (to speak the language, i don't know for sure if he was converting or not) but still, Reggie was one of the true class acts we've seen and ever will see in all of sports and maybe in humanity. The man's heart was in the right place. I cried when I heard the news because he was one of my few childhood heroes and I'd met him briefly before. What a great guy. A true tragedy that we've lost such a great human being.
December 26, 200421 yr I don't wish death on anybody, and I am never happy when someone dies, but he was an bigoted idiot 642999[/snapback] Dude. f*** you. The guy was an ordained minister. I know he could have been better if he did "the clear" but he didnt need it like some of the stars whose penis you suck. I have lost any sort of respect for your ass. Go to hell Mays.

December 26, 200421 yr I'm not going to hurl insults. Reggie wouldn't want me too. Mays why do you say he was scum? You defend Barry Bonds who makes Bob Marley look clean. And then say Reggie White, a man of GOD, who devoted his life to GOD, is scum. That's real classy. Especially since you've never met him. I have. You haven't given any reason or instance to say he was scum either. Reggie White, an ordained minister, began to study hebrew so he could understand other faiths of the same GOD. This man gave more money to charity and children then Barry Bonds has on drugs (and thats a lot). So lay off a good man and stop defending druggies.
December 26, 200421 yr I was playing in a controlled scrimmage against the Detroit Lions on hot, muggy summer day in Detroit. I had outmaneuvered a frustrated Detroit rookie for most of the day from my left defensive end position. Then our helmets accidentally locked together on a play. This guy used foul language that I would not let my dogs hear. I can take losing a game, but I cannot tolerate being cussed out to my face. I looked him right in the eye and announced, "Jesus is coming back soon, and I hope you're ready." But he just tossed more choice words into my face and returned to his huddle. I was angry. Again I shouted to him across the field, "Jesus is coming back soon, and I hope you're ready." My teammates were urging me back to our defensive huddle. But instead I eyeballed this rookie and shouted to my teammates, "Jesus is coming back soon, and I hope he's ready." The next play, I lined up in front of this same rookie and said, "Jesus is coming back soon, and I don't think you're ready." The ball snapped, and I announced, "Here comes Jesus!" I thrust my entire 6'6", two hundred-and-eighty-five-pound body right into his chest and drove him back about five yards. He plopped to the turf just in time to see me sack his quarterback. My teammates and coach often asked me after that if Jesus was coming back on the next play! I'm still not sure why I said what I did that steamy day in Detroit. Maybe it was just that I desire to live my life glorifying Jesus Christ. - RW
December 26, 200421 yr Man when I woke up this morning, found this out.. Tears came outta my eyes in no time at all. I'll miss Reggie the player, but I'll miss Reggie the man as I got his autograph and met him. Thanks for all you did in Green Bay Regg!! RIP Reggie!!
December 26, 200421 yr Guys forget Reggie was ever a football player. And just think of the loss of the person please. He was a great man. And will be sorely missed by people everywhere. He touched so many millions of lives with such a simple concept. Love and Jesus.
December 26, 200421 yr RIP I didn't know he lived in North Carolina. Phlub why do you have to always make such bogus, cheesy statements? White touched millions of lives? Come on now. Well at least your sig is a little smaller now.
