Hall of Fame Induction for Reggie

Didn't see a thread about Reggi White's induction tomorrow, so I thought I'd start one.

Anyone see his wife on the news today, I guess during the pre-induction press conference. It looks like her speech is going to be really emotional.

You don't say!

Yes... really really emotional!!

Oddly enough I just found his autobiography randomly in the house and was skimming through it. It kind of sucks he talks about the Packers so much in it, but I guess that's where he won his super bowl..

I'l say this and be done with it..some of us aren't in love wit Reggie. Have a nice day.

Reggie is the farging man. One of the favorite players ever. Sure he talked about his faith a lot, and I don't have one religious bone in my body, but I never had a problem with it. I know it bothered some people but I never cared.

I'm going to be watching tomorrow, and am very much looking forward to seeing Reggie be inducted, but at the same time it's going to be painful to watch if Sara White starts breaking down.

Ditto, I have a signed copy of an old Eagles Digest that had a picture of the birds 1991 season Pro Bowl defensive selections: Simmons, Brown. Joyner, Allen and of course Reggie. I got Reggie to sign it in the lobby of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. He was actually for cool. This was February 1992 and it was fairly easy to approach the players. I have it buried away somewhere.

I was in college when Reggie's first book came out. I went to a book signing at a local bookstore. He was a class act.
