Former Packer Reggie White

There are lots of stories about the MoD, some good - some not so good.

 

He was actually the first player I was ever a fan of, and got me noticing football as a kid. I still remember the Boys' Life cover I had of him when I was 8, he was standing leaning on a bulldozer. Part of the reason why it became easy for me to become a Packer fan after the Bears fired Ditka for Wannstedt.

From what I have read/heard yesterday, the heart attack was an effect of some other disorders he had (sleep apnea (sp?)) being one of them.

 

 

Prayers for Reggie and his family. :pray

my dad has sleep apnea. it is where you stop breathing for short spurts while sleeping. he has to sleep with a machine that feeds him pure oxygen through a face mask. of course don't know how severe reggie white's was or if it was being treated in similar fashion...

wow, I've heard of the condition, just wasn't sure how they treated it. I bet the mask takes forever to get used to, if you ever do at all.

Andrew Sullivan, famous Libertarian blogger, just got a machine. He said it takes some getting used to, but the sleep that you get with it on is so. much. better.

 

I briefly dated someone on one of those machines too at night. If he slept without it, he was tired in the morning, if he slept with it on, he woke up rested and refreshed.
