Youch.. Haven't seen a news clip on this yet - what did he die from? Heck he was still playing just a few years ago I thought, at 40?

Yea it is very sad. He actually retired so he could go back to being a minister at his church.

Section_8 - I think he suffered from sleep apnea so that had something to do with it.

i've seen a couple of Packers clips, and Packers.com made a very nice background image of him....so sad as a Packers fan myself too....there was also a commercial during Monday Night football

Pro sports need more people like Reggie White.

The packers stadium has lowered the american flag to half mass in respect of his death. Veterans groups have complained and the packers will no longer be doing this when one of their players dies anymore (they have been doing this for a number of years). Instead, they will be getting a packers flag, which will be flown at half mass for any future losses.

This really hurt especially being a Univ. of TN alumnus. It's been really sad around the Knoxville area as of late. RIP Reggie!
