of age.

One of the all time great punters in the NFL. Rest in peace Reggie, we loved you here in Florida.

He gave lots of time to charity projects for children.

3. Wow, that sucks.

He was a good player for a lot of years, had an incredible leg. He was also a pretty good chef from all that I read. R.I.P. Reggie.

7. Is it just me or does it seem

Like the dolphins have taken a lot of hits for players being convicted or tried in court, or death? It's too bad, the dolphins are one of the only football teams I really liked... and it's always too bad when someone who used money for good causes dies.

8. We loved him here in Iowa too

An absolute shock. So young. And I believe that he went to High school in Waterloo, so he's an Iowan. RIP Reggie Roby.
