Dominating player that has endured hardship with his son and then himself. Stood tall through it all and did some great things for the community.

i know it is part of life, but man does it suck losing these guys on what feels like a yearly basis now. RIP Nick, you left behind an amazing legacy.

This one kinda hurts. I idolized #85 growing up. REST IN PEACE NICKY "B"!!! Pneumonia isn't easy to deal with at a younger age, I can imagine what it's like as an older human being, when your not strong enough to fight back. My Father died from double pneumonia, brought on by his weakened state, from his Dementia. He just wasn't able to fight back. Nick Buoniconti was the epitome of the South Florida lifestyle. He was so well liked and loved by people all over the state. His personality transcended his football life.

A little before my time, but I remember him from inside the NFL......RIP brother.

 

[The Ghost]

RIP Nick. He was before my time as a player, but as a person I thought I knew him pretty well. He seemed as genuine as he appeared.

Sad news, hopefully he didn't suffer too much. Always will be a Dolphins and humanitarian legend in my book. He was the main reason I watched HBO's Inside the NFL every week.
