Kat (katatonicstate) - reviewed on 7/30/2013

Walter Payton is why I became a Chicago Bears fan in California - 31 years and counting. Although this book came out in 2000 I hadn't been able (emotionally) to read it until now. This an excellent account of an excellent football player and man. It is written in a type of interview style that gives you many different voices (Jim Brown, Mike Singletary, Mike Ditka...) saying many of the same thing: Walter Payton was one of a kind. Sweetness wrote much of this himself so you get a first hand account from early childhood to soon before his passing. If I owned or coached a football team, this book would be required reading.
