Reggie White was inducted into the pro Football Hall of Fame just minutes ago anybody got any thoughts? He was never a Bill but boy do I wish he could have.

The late Reggie White joined other NFL greats as members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. While the cheers were loud and the testimonials meaningful for Warren Moon, John Madden, Rayfield Wright and Harry Carson, the crowd's passion was reserved for Reggie.
When master of ceremonies Chris Berman introduced White's widow, Sara, and when White's son, Jeremy, presented his father, the fans chanted his name. It didn't matter if they were wearing Packers or Eagles green -- a collection of current Eagles, including Donovan McNabb, sat in the crowd wearing White's No. 92 -- or even Cowboys, Giants or Oilers blue or Raiders black.
They all stood and cheered for the Minister of Defense.
Jeremy and Sara White shared tears and a long hug after unveiling the bust before a rapt audience.
''It's not how we die, it's how we live,'' Sara White said. ''I encourage you to live like Reggie lived.''
