I became a Dolphins fan in 1971 after my brother was too eager to claim the Fins when I wanted the Browns in the electric football board we got for Christmas. Would later become a huge Falcons fan but I still root for and claim to be a fan of Miami. Nick Buoniconti was one of the great players on the first team that I rooted for. Along with Mercury Morris, Larry Csonka, Bob Griese, Garo Yapremian and [[of course) all-time great Paul Warfield. I remember turning on HBO every Thursday night to watch Inside The NFL with Buoniconti and Len Dawson. Loved that show. It would tear me up later to see the deteriorating effects football had on him as he grew older. A sharp mind was lost to the ravages of CTE. One day, they're going to create a test that will detect CTE in a living brain and the next year, the NFL will be an after thought. Rest in peace, Nick. Thanks for the memories.
