Mercury Morris, Elusive Rusher on a Perfect Dolphins Team, Dies at 77

[marble falls]

6. I've got nothing good to say about that carpet bagging jackass. Cleveland made him rich and he left in the miidle ...

... in the middle of the night from the stadium he forced Cleveland to build him at Burke Lakefront not five or so years before. And frankly, I liked going to see the Tribe and the Brownies at Muni, one of the largest stadiums at that time. His big complaint? The wind off the lake in Winter. Where did they build the new one? Right on the lake, and where there were no other bulidings to break those deadly winds off the lake.

Zonk had his nose broken by his own count, at least six time since high school.

Did you ever get to read the huge Sports Illustrated Mercury Morris article/interview from around his cocaine conviction? He was honest and blamed no one for his use. I always admired him, but that article caused me to respect him a lot more. He blamed no one other than himself for being dragged into further jeopardy over his own drug use.
