The NFL’s Brutal Past Could Cost the League its Future

Kudos to Scott Price of Sports Illustratedfor his superb pair of pieces here at The MMQBon two broken former Dolphins: linebacker Nick Buoniconti, 76, on Tuesday and running back Jim Kiick, 70, which will be published Wednesday morning. Price’s stories are thought-provoking and lead the reader to think there will be scores of retired football players from past eras in a gruesome line following Buoniconti and Kiick.

• THE COMPLICATED DECLINE OF NICK BUONICONTI: As the ex-Dolphin’s mind and body succumb to the ravages of football, he and his loved ones are left angry, confused and grasping to understand

The stories led me to think how different football was in the seventies and today.
