This is a great gesture by the Pack. Im wondering if the Eagles will do the same thing.

It was expected. White was great with the Packers, and at one point was one of the big household names going around.

Im a die hard Packer fan. Im gald their doing this for Reggie. He and Favre, saved this franchise, when they got here. The guy is loved by the team and by the fans.
