Larry King is not known for his short stint as a Miami Dolphins color commentator but that is exactly what he did early in his broadcast career. King passed away Friday night at the age of 87.
The prominent radio show host really got his breaks in the early 1970s in Miami with WIOD television. In 1970 and much of 1971, he served as the Dolphins color commentator but was replaced mid-season after legal issues cost him his job with the station.
