The worst part of getting old is seeing your childhood heroes pass away.

Dad ran car dealerships in Miami back in the day, Bill Austin Ford, and Mr. Morris came out once for a new car showing, what a great guy. RIP

Not only a great player, but a really great dude, too. To anyone who has never seen film of Mercury during his Dolphins days, I highly recommend you do. He was electrifying and a menace to opposing D’s.

My deepest condolences to his entire family. May he rest at eternal peace in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus.

RIP
As a kid I was mesmerized watching him run. What a talent. Such a great compliment to Csonka and Kiick.
I enjoyed the character he was and his sense of humor we all saw later in life. Appreciated the pride & love he had for his teammates and what they accomplished in the undefeated 72 season.
Thanks for the great memories and Godspeed Mercury.

Yes, RIP, sir. In 50 years of fandom, never seen a back with such a unique running style. That team was loaded, and Mercury added another dimension to that offense.

RIP #22. Mercury and Kick would play pickup basketball at Suniland park in the off-season. I was good friends with Nick Buoniconti jr growing up and Dolphin players and their wives were often at his house hanging out by the pool. Great teams and players in the ‘70’s!

Merc was also the de facto sports information director for the 72 perfectos. RIP 22

****. RIP #22. Absolute South Florida legend.

Ran like the devil possed.

As if Kiick and Csonka weren’t enough trouble, Merc would enter the chat bring in a whole new set of problems for the defense.
