Reggie White died. Didn't see that coming.

Man I can't wait to see those autopsy results.

And lest anyone forget what a huge ****ing bigot this guy was.

CBS SportsLine wire reports
March 25, 1998

MADISON, Wis. -- Most people invited to speak to the Wisconsin Legislature give five minutes of pleasantries, get a few moments of applause and go home.

Lawmakers weren't expecting the earful Reggie White had in store for them Wednesday.

They thought the Green Bay Packers star and ordained minister came to talk about his community work and a recent trip to Israel.

White did, but his nearly hour-long speech also included remarks on homosexuality, race and slavery that turned the Assembly's applause to stunned silence.

White said the United States has gotten away from God, in part by allowing homosexuality to "run rampant."

HOMOSEXUALITY IS a sin, and the plight of gays and lesbians should not be compared to that of blacks, White told lawmakers.

"Homosexuality is a decision, it's not a race," White said. "People from all different ethnic backgrounds live in this lifestyle. But people from all different ethnic backgrounds also are liars and cheaters and malicious and back-stabbing."

White said he has thought about why God created different races. Each race has certain gifts, he said.

Blacks are gifted at worship and celebration, White said.

"If you go to a black church, you see people jumping up and down because they really get into it," he said.

Whites are good at organization, White said.

"You guys do a good job of building businesses and things of that nature, and you know how to tap into money," he said.

"Hispanics were gifted in family structure, and you can see a Hispanic person, and they can put 20, 30 people in one home."

THE JAPANESE AND other Asians are inventive, and "can turn a television into a watch," White said. Indians are gifted in spirituality, he said.

"When you put all of that together, guess what it makes: It forms a complete image of God," White said.

White said later that his comments were about coming together as a society and were not meant to stereotype the races.

"This is the first time I've been at a loss for words," Assembly Minority Leader Walter Kunicki, D-Milwaukee, said after White's speech. "You can still tell from the tension in the room that much of this was offensive."

Can't you just let the man rest in peace?

[Joeiss]

I just got a Steelers hat today. I feel like I am sort of jumping on the bandwagon.. .But I did have a Steelers hat back in grade 3...

[Bond]

Bandwagon fans make me sick... and I can't believe the Vikings picked up the option on Tice. What gives?

[Joeiss]

Tice is amazing. One of the coolest coaches ever!

[Perfect Stu]

Tice is a moron, I love the fact that the Vikings picked up his contract...the NFC will remain a trash hole.

Denver plays Indianapolis next week - which will truly be a fun game to watch. We shall see how the Colt's defense holds up. I don't expect much out of Minnesota, so I'm not even going to worry about them. And if the Rams pull another field-goal shoot out like they did with the Panthers.......well, that'll be yummy to watch.

Pittsburgh is 15 and 1. I don't want to be the pessimist, but they have had several close games this year. We shall see how they fare against the rest of the teams. I still think Pittsburgh will choke.

Go Eagles!
