Jim Mandich former TE of the Dolphins passed away yesterday, he was a big part if the Miami community.

I met him once at a WQAM broadcast, he couldn't have been nicer to me, he signed a few things and took a photo with me. I am happy to say that I met him.

I hadn't heard about this. I went to college in South Florida and put myself through school delivering pizzas. I had WQAM on while I drove, and for years I listened to Jim Mandich talk about the Dolphins, "Meeeeshigun" football, and riding around with the windows down. Always entertaining, and never a jerk (like Hank Goldberg who was on the air earlier). What a shame to lose him so young.

I'm glad to hear someone else listened to him. I started listing to sports radio because of the 'Mad Dog'.

I know what you mean about Hank, he'd go off on callers.

It's crazy, first Neil Rogers at 68, now Jim Mandich at 62.

I'll toast a 'green lizard' to him.

That is very sad. I just got his 1975 Topps Rookie Signed by him last year. He is really just the second significant 1972 Dolphins Star to die after Wayne Moore. He was also a Legendary College Player at Michigan and is in the College Football Hall of Fame.

A good player, a great sportscaster "AALLLLRIGHT MIAMI !!!" and an even better person. Another loss to the un-defeated team and the So. Fla. sports community. Here's to ya Mad Dawg !!!
