MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A Miami Dolphins icon is in the fight of his life.
Hall of Fame linebacker Nick Buoniconti is suffering from a brain disorder, which he disclosed in a new article from Sports Illustrated.
“I can’t remember how to lace my shoes,” Buoniconti said. “My left arm won’t do what my brain tells it to do. The answer would be “no” I would not have played football.”
In an emotional interview, Buoniconti details his recent health struggles including memory loss and confusion. Problems he attributes to a high frequency of hits in his 14 year career.
