amazing grace...

This was definitely a shock to me. Sometimes atheletes die because they overworked their heart or because of drugs. For some reason, even thought it's not what people would expect from Reggie, I immediately said "watch it be drugs".

Anyway, RIP, big man.

My dad and I were actually talking about it too, I was thinking something along the lines of steroids. I wouldn't throw it out as a possibility.

Yeah, was wondering that too, quite alot of athletes start gaining weight when they retire. Not a big football fan here but hope he Rests in Peace all the same. All deaths are a new beginning though.

This is a sad day for all that knew him or of him. He was a good guy. Maybe misunderstood by some, but still a good guy. I was never a Philly or Paks fan, but I did like Riggie White. I won't ever forget him. You will be Missed.

i was at the saints/falcons game in new orleans sunday after he passed away. everyone observed a moment of silence for him, many gasped at first because they didnt know. following the moment of silence, most fans stood and cheered for several seconds. nice respect from the saints fans.

RIP Reggie
