His thoughts on politics were more consistently accurate than any commentator I see regardless of party. He just understood people. The football insight was almost like a bonus.

Steve White was one of my All time favorite guest on 92.9. Dude knew his football and was passionate about it. And he was never scared to talk politics on the radio. I hate to hear this news. RIP 🙏🏾

I was introduced to Steve White by my good friend @WhatTheBuc. Steve was kind enough to appear on the BucsBrief podcast and his most memorable appearance was immediately following Lovie Smith's firing. To say Steve was a straight shooter is an understatement. He will be missed.
