White, the sure-fire Hall of Fame defensive end who played six distinguished seasons for the Packers from 1993-98, has his jersey retired at halftime of nationally televised game with Tampa Bay. An emotional White tells the crowd, "I have been honored and privileged to have been a Packer, and I will always be a Packer" (Oct. 10).

White, whose Packers jersey was retired in 1999 was elected to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time team (1994) and inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) Reggie White's jersey will hang in honor at Lambeau Field, and the man who wore it for six memorable seasons is finally, completely retired.

White, the controversial but sublimely talented defensive end who retired last season, was honored Sunday night by the Green Bay Packers with a jersey retirement ceremony at halftime of the Packers' game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

White addressed his former teammates before the game and jokingly threatened to do what Packers fans have openly begged him to consider.

"I told them before the game that what I would do is have my jersey retired, then take it out of the picture frame and come out and play," White said.

On Sept. 18, 2005, the Green Bay Packers for only the fifth time in nearly nine decades formally removed a uniform number from circulation, retiring Reggie White's No. 92.

I remember that game. We lost against the Browns. We needed a stop and the fans were chanting "Reggie, Reggie"


Then we gave up like a 70 yard TD to a back-up TE. Just going on memory here
