    Statement on the Death of Edward G. Robinson
    April 4, 2007

        Laura and I are saddened to learn of the
    death of Eddie Robinson. Eddie Robinson was a football legend who
    compiled an amazing record as the coach at Grambling State University.
    He will be remembered for his passion for the game and his dedication to
    helping his players better themselves on the field, in the classroom,
    and in their communities. Laura and I extend our deepest sympathies to
    the Robinson family, the players he inspired, and Grambling State
    University.
