Last Saturday in Canton, Ohio, the most famous member of the Memphis Showboats was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The late Reggie White gained the bulk of his fame, of course, as the Minister of Defense for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. White’s son, Jeremy, presented the famous lineman’s widow, Sara, who delivered an eloquent, if tear-stained, tribute to the first-ballot Hall of Famer. Read a review of White’s enshrinement here.

  • Deep Thoughts by Rodney Carney

    "It’s almost time for the NBA Draft in New York City and I am going through a range of emotions. I am anxious. I am nervous. I am excited. But most importantly I am ready to join the NBA.

    "Monday I was in Philly to work out for the 76ers at the Wachovia Center. I’ve been nursing a sore ankle the past few days so the first thing I did when I got to the gym this morning was to ice it and then tape it up before I hit the court. I ran through some light workouts and took a tour of the arena with my mom and the coaches.

    "Then I met with a psychologist who confirmed – thankfully – that I wasn’t crazy. Just kidding. The questions were a little strange, but every player who works out for the Sixers goes through it, which eased my mind. When that was all over, I rushed to the airport to catch my flight to NYC and prepare for the big day."
