"Last night on SportsCenter, they opened the show with the Reggie White story and said, 'The NFL and the world suffered a great loss today...'
The world? This is on the same day where over 20,000 people died from a tsunami. Sure, the guy was a minister and I'm sure did a lot of nice things for people. But the world? I bet there are many countries where not one person knew of Reggie White.
'Did you see that wave yesterday? Something else, huh?'
'Yes, I lost my family and my entire village. But at least we still have Reggie White, the great defensive lineman.'
'Oh my, have you not heard? He passed away yesterday.'
'NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!!'"
What a riot. Although for those of us Wisconsinites with relatives named after him, it's a little more heart-wrenching. Still, though, one has to wonder about our priorities sometimes.
I bet my dad almost cried.
Shitty thing about that big ol' wave, too, eh?
