Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Jeffrey Cardenas (Jacket photograph) and Charles S (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. 24 cm. xiv, [2], 278, [2] pages. Illustrations. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads July, 1991 To Irma, "This is the extended" version of my story. I Love you! Eugene Mercury Morris. The former football player for the Miami Dolphins recounts his battle with post-football financial disaster, cocaine addiction, incapacitating medical problems, and a conviction for hyped-up drug charges that he fought all the way to State Supreme Court. Eugene Edward "Mercury" Morris (born January 5, 1947) is a former American football running back and kick returner. He played for seven years, primarily for the Miami Dolphins, in the American Football League (AFL) as a rookie in 1969, then in the American Football Conference (AFC) following the 1970 merger with the National Football League (NFL). Morris played in three Super Bowls, winning twice, and was selected to three Pro Bowls. In 1982, Morris was convicted of felony drug trafficking charges. After three and a half years in prison, he was released after a plea agreement in which he pleaded no contest to cocaine conspiracy charges. Morris finished in the top five of the NFL in rushing touchdowns twice and total touchdowns once during his eight-year career. His career 5.1 yard per carry average was third all time among NFL players (1st among half backs) behind just fullbacks Jim Brown and Marion Motley. Morris' career kickoff return average of 26.5 was in the top 10 at the time of his retirement. In 1974, Morris co-starred as Bookie Garrett in the blaxploitation film The Black Six alongside other football stars of the day. Derived from a Kirkus review: When Eugene "Mercury" Morris retired from the National Football League in 1976, he left with $250,000 in the bank, two homes, two cars, and the second best yards-per-carry average among running backs in N.F.L. history. Six years later, after financial failure and a heavy cocaine habit, Morris was arrested for drug trafficking, convicted, and sentenced to a minimum mandatory 15-year sentence. In 1986, his conviction was overturned by the Florida Supreme Court after his attorneys successfully argued that the state had entrapped Morris in the deal. Here, with the help of attorney-turned-sportswriter Fiffer, Morris sets out to clear both his name and his reputation. In many ways, Morris' story is a familiar one: economic underprivilege overcome by athletic prowess led to an outstanding football career at West Texas State, and later to fame and glory with the Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins. But Morris' penchant for fast cars and fast women caught up with him. Recklessness, he admits, made him vulnerable to the drug sting. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 18809
