SI and others reporting his passing. Former Dolphins Great Mercury Morris Passes Away What good times as a kid watching those teams.
One by one, the ranks of the only undefeated team in NFL history are being depleted. RIP Mercury. It was fun watching you play.
I wasn't a Fins fan, but am amazed that it's been over 50 years since they went undefeated. I don't think it will be repeated unless NFL viewership massively declines and they need it to happen to draw interest.
I kinda miss the TD celebrations in those days of just a spike and no ridiculous endzone choreographed dancing.
And what a great nick name. Boomer alert old time nicknames are so much better ! Bronco Nagurski, the Galloping Ghost, the Juice, Ice man, Bambi, Roger the Dodger. Give Spurrier credit too, the Swamp -perfect! Today it's mostly initials or shortened given names. Guess it ties in with old school sportswriters who could actually write, not just give the facts to AI and let IT write. Sad to hear though. He was a heck of a back and a great talker too.
A ’72 Dolphins 50th anniversary special: Where are the 45 players now Here is the status of the '72 team from an article two years ago. Looks like about a quarter of the roster was still alive and kicking at that point.
