During the early days of sports broadcasting, men like Chuck Bednarik, Art Donovan, Dick Butkus, Deacon Jones and Nick Buoniconti were representative of old school football and it is very sad to see them gone one by one.

 

I don't care if he played for the Fish... he was one hell of a good commentator on Inside the NFL.

RIP, Nick.

It was a good documentary.

 

He was a complicated figure.   Incredibly accomplished man who got the most out of his ability and then experienced a lot of tragedy.    But also a prickly personality and the face of the tobacco industry in the 1980's.

JMO, but if I make it to 78 I will be happy.  I don’t think I want to get much older than that.

JMO, but you may change your mind when that number starts approaching.

 

Always liked and respected Buoniconti. A tough-minded guy. RIP.
