White, who died in December 2004 at the age of 43, held the all-time record with 198 sacks -- a mark since surpassed -- when he retired in 2000. After two years in the USFL, he played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers from 1985-98, winning a Super Bowl with Green Bay after the 1996 campaign. He came out of retirement in 2000 to play with the Carolina Panthers. Fans in attendance chanted "Reggie, Reggie" and the bust of White was unveiled by |

Owens missed the final nine games of last season after essentially being banished by the Philadelphia Eagles. So the five days of practice before he felt a twinge Wednesday could have something to do with how long it's been since he was a full-time football player. ``That may have a part in this,'' he said. ``I just have to keep doing the day-to-day trea |

| (MySportsbook) - The NFL preseason kicks off on Sunday night in Canton, Ohio, as the Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles do battle in the 44th installment of the league's annual Hall of Fame Game. Both the Raiders and Eagles are looking to begin anew while finally turning the page on 2005 seasons that ended in disappointing fashion. Oakland stumbled to a 4-12 mark and a third consecutive last-place finish in the AFC West during 2005. The Silver and Black's performance prompted the firing of head coach Norv |

He will be with the starters again Sunday when the Raiders open the preseason against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Hall of Fame game. Barring an injury, Brooks also is on course to be behind center on Sept. 11 when Oakland hosts San Diego to begin the regular season. Until then, though, the 30-year-old quarterback is content with Shell's view on the thi |

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) -Brodrick Bunkley's plans to have an impact season are decreasing each day the rookie misses practice. Bunkley, the 14th pick in the first round of the NFL draft, still hasn't reached a contract agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles nearly two weeks into training camp. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle already has missed 13 days and almost certainly won't play in Sunday's game against Oakland, even if he signed immediately. Eagles coach Andy Reid has expressed some frustration ov |

After an All-American senior season at Tennessee, White began his pro career with the Memphis Showboats of the USFL in 1984. He joined the Philadelphia Eagles, who held his NFL rights, after the USFL folded in 1985. For eight years he was as an integral piece in Philadelphia's Gang Green defense. White combined size, speed and strength like no defensive lineman before him, getting a league-high 21 sacks |
