Reggie Passes On
His first departure was hard enough to deal with, as he left Philly behind and pursued a Superbowl with an oganization that was actually committed to winning. If you were like me, you had mixed emotions that time around. You wanted to be mad at him for leaving. But, you couldn't blame him for ditching Norm and the Eagles, who just didn't want to win. So, you joined in with the rest of Philly and instead despised Norm all the more. The shocking loss of Reggie this weekend, though, was a bit more final, as he suddenly died of a massive heart attack (rumored to have been caused by sleep apnea). Just 43 years old, a man who retired on top of his game (the first time), a champion, a quality human being... gone. Just when we think the world is falling with the temporary loss of TO for a few games... reality sets in and reminds us that things can always get worse.
Thanks for the memories and the impact Reggie!
