Oilers Lionbacker Morris Prefers Rattlesnakes to Golf
Houston Oilers middle linebacker Dennis Morris, 24, famed for snake collection, loves catching rattlesnakes more than golf or fishing. He travels to camp in a 1954 station wagon with tools to trap snakes, eat rattlesnake meat, and plans to “clothesline” receivers this AFL season. His wife often joins snake safaris and cooks Southern fried rattlesnake for visiting teammates.
