Yeah just read this bummer

I remember him as a Patriot and being pissed off when he was traded. The Sullivans were a stupid lot when it came to making football decisions.

Thanks for all you did for spinal injury patients and professional athletes. You were truly one of a kind.

Nick was pound for pound the hardest-hitting LB in football.

 

[BostonBlackie]

One of my all time favorites.

he was devine out here in the Springfield area ... before Miami anyways ... or at least before the Trinity of Kraft, Belichick, and Brady (in reverse order of course)

... he was very small for a LB back then and really small for a tackle which he was until he became pro ... had to have been a real tough bastid ...

Kind of a Rocky Marciano type.
