RIP Reggie White

[Mick]

I can't find a link for it, but I'm watching FOX News right now, and they said he was just found dead of a heart attack....

That sucks.

Former NFL star Reggie White has died after suffering a massive heart attack Sunday morning at his home near Huntersville, N.C., ESPN's Chris Mortensen has learned.

The former Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles star turned 43 on Dec. 19.

"Today our beloved husband, father and friend passed away," White's wife, Sara, said through a family pastor. "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."

RIP Reggie White

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As a Packer fan, this news is crushing to me.

[punky]

One of the all-time Eagle greats. RIP Reggie.

Never watched NFL when he was around but that sucks.

Especially on Boxing Day.

RIP.

What a bad way to start the day. Even though he became famous playing for the team I despise the most (Eagles), he was always one of my favorite defensive players to watch. I know this probably doesn't help much, but at least he was able to spend one last Christmas with his family before passing on. RIP Reggie.

RIP The Minister of Defense

One of the greatest defensive players or our time.

I was just watching Countdown and they broke the news, it's a terrible loss, he was an excellent player, one of the greatest defensive linemen of all time, and a joy to watch. I may hate the Packers, but I can appreciate talent, and he had it in abundance.

RIP

On Fox this morning, Bradshaw said that he believes the NFL should treat Reggie White like Roberto Clemente and wave the Hall of Fame clause so that they can put him on the ballot right away this year. Good Idea IMO.

Reggie.... no . As an Eagles fan, I loved watching him play. He was just a great great football player.

RIP Reggie

Oh great not a other one

RIP Reggie

[SlickNick187]

Reggie has always been one of my most favorite players. This really sucks. RIP Reggie.

[Guest JoeyMadDogg]

If I have ever seen him play, I don't remember it. Just know through my dad that he was one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever grace the field. Today is a sad day in the world sports. I send my wishes to his family.

I don't really know what to say, I've always hated the Packers and the Eagles, but Reggie White and Bret Farve are two of my favorite players of all-time. It's truely a sad day for football fans world wide.

I agree that he needs his place in Canton this year, but even if they don't his spot has been on reserve for years.

[JustinCredible2k]

I guess I can speak for all of us when I say, atleast he is in a better place.

[ROC]

What a sucky year it has been for deaths. Considering the fact that White was easily one of the best defensive ends of all time, this is a sad day for the NFL. White was not only great, but showed class in spreading his beliefs and not being an egomaniac as players are today. He was a great talent and seemed to be a great guy in general.
