"Everything good about me, I owe to other people. Everything that's bad about me, I earned that on my own." Spoken like a man, like a true gentleman.
It's something that all we must follow and believe great Walter Payton.
One of the classiest people in all of professional sports, the late GOAT, Walter Payton. I personally think that the number 34 should be retired throughout the NFL. R. I. P. Walter Payton and thanks for all the thrills you gave us as football fans.
He was autally a bad person some guy wanted to do documentary on him after he died and found a lot of bad things but after the goat died he thought it would be bad
To release
+Mr. Predictable he was actually just really depressed. Besides him cheating on Connie, he was actually a good guy.
Claude White r
Claude White he didn't have much class but he was a ok guy as a human
Mr. Predictable screw you he did not
The greatest running back of all time
Walter is my favorite personally but i think Barry Sanders was the purest runner-
Ah yeah no that title goes to Jim brown when u really sit and think all he did in his time in 12 and 14 game seasons
Definitely is number 2 though
I agree
Na Barry sanders
“After hearing my son talk, I don’t care if I lose that bet…” put me to tears man
There's never been a player more deserving of this honor. #34. Your memory will live forever.
i'm not a Bears fan but all I have is respect for Payton. As a man and a player he will never be forgotten.....Rest in Peace to the Legend
As a life long Bears fan born in 98 it hurts knowing that I never got the opportunity to see him play. He’s the greatest of all time no questions asked. Miss you Sweetness 💙🧡
98 was when I first started watching the Bears. I was 4 years old. I myself never got to see Walter play in person. However my dad was lucky enough to do so. He would tell me stories about watching Walter play at Soldier Field. It was really cool to hear his story. RIP Sweetness. GOAT Forever.
I'm an old man, seen him play 3x live and watched the Bears every Sunday as far back as I can remember.
He was better than words.
He has been my hero my entire life.
DA GOAT! Seriously the best player to ever play the game without him I don't think we would have the American tradition of playing football in the backyard or the kids and parents playing catch in the backyard. he made football great.
“PAYTON‼️”
R.I.P to the GOAT!
That is my c cousin
“Of course he didn’t listen to me. For sweetness. 12 seasons was enough. He had proved what he needed to prove. To himself and anyone who doubted him. And in 1987 he retired. When I saw him next in Chicago. Me as running back and him as broadcaster. He was barefoot, running hills, still living each day like his last. When I heard he died age 45 of liver failure I wasn’t surprised… I was just sad. People always think of us as rivals but he was one of the very few I liked and even fewer that I respected. He remains the only person I envy.” - Barry sanders
Such a humble kind man in everyday knife he is like this how lucky to have Walter in your life so beautiful person
To my hero Walter Payton, Happy Birthday.
Your endless dedication to hard work which was encapsulated in your workouts on the "Hill" has continued to inspire me since I was 8 years old.
Thank you
To Each there own 🐐 This is Mine and I’m thankful I got to meet him as a child before he passed. RIP Sweetness
My parents were very close to Walter’s family, that when I was about 2 years old, my father acknowledged me in front of Walter and his family loved how handsome I looked and such. They almost felt like they were my “cousins”, as a result.
And when Walter came over to me, and carried me up in his arms, he then said “I like your style, kid.” I didn’t know what to expect from that, at the time, but what I can expect now, was how honored and grateful I was, that a BEARS legend like “Sweetness”, would say all of that, about me, and about my parents.
Like all of Chicago, the McCaskeys, and BEARS fans, or fans of him, I continue to miss that guy.
Greatest Ever. RIP. Walter Payton we will never forget you
The Greatest of all time
Makes me so proud to be a Mississippian.
Greatest Running Back of All Time.
Payton was one of the best, As a Packer fan, he beat the crap out of us. I will always respect him and wish he would have played for the Packers. RIP Walter, all respect! :)
He will always be my all time favorite hero. His heart was even bigger than his career in football. It was his work ethics that made him the greatest player in football, it was his unselfishness towards his teammates that led by example, But how he described his love for his family is a testament to way he is best remembered off the field as well as on the field . RIP , you have inspired a lot of people. We will keep your legacy alive forever
THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!! that's it , there ain't no more words. Nuff said
The greatest human being of all time.
Thanks for the memories RIP sweetness
This is my first time watching this - very touching! I would see Walter Payton at the Chicago Stadium when I worked there - he would come to Chicago Bulls games. I would see Walter Payton also when I worked at O'Hare Airport - mostly picking up his baggage in the Baggage Claim area. His wife Connie is a very nice woman. She said hi to me once when I saw her at the airport with Brittany and Jarrett when they were very young. My best friend's husband was a camera man for one of the TV stations here in Chicago - he covered Walter's service at Solider Field, so I have Waler Payton's obituary. And one more thing - my sister and I went to his night club on Halloween one year - I think it was 1997, 98 - somewhere around there.
What a nice soft spoken Man he was I never got to see him play and I really didn't need to to know that he was one of a kind rip sweetness
God bless Walter Payton.
🐻🏉 34 I followed your whole pro career. Tremendous on the field, tremendous off the field. Thanks, WALTER J. PAYTON. Rest in peace.
My favorite player of all time. He will always be the GOAT in my book. Bear down!
GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER FOREVER!!!!!!
me and walter was born in Mississippi, yet im 14, i wanna play and be just like him when i go to hall of fame
I hope you made it somewhere with that dream kid, Cause if you got the drive man you can do it if there are too many people doubting you, don’t start doubting yourself Then you could prove you could be great and talk shit along the way
Go luck man. Anything is possible. If you truly believe and put your mind body and heart into it. Take care man.
Ok bud
Do it.
THE GREATEST FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME
I am a born and bred Buffalo Bills fan since age 3. That being said, I am also a massive Walter Payton fan. I have a Silver coin and card set that was made the day this video was shot. RIP Sweetness !
Rest In Heavenly Peace Walter Payton🙏🏽🙏🏽🤍🤍
Other than my father and grandfather…. This was and is still my hero.
A Man's Man..Gentlemen Locker Room General Huddle Inspiration Field General...SWEETNESS...CHICAGO BEARDOWN BABY R.I.P 34
Mvp running back. Forever missed
Amazing r.i.p legend
GOAT Forever. RIP Sweetness. We still miss you. We will always miss you.
G.O.A.T
you forgot Bo jackson
Bo was good but played 3 years and got injured Walter missed one game his 13 years of playing and only because the coach refused to let him play
Barry sanders is goat
People always say Tom Brady is the Greatest Football player of all time sorry he’s not the Greatest Football player of all time he’s the Greatest QB of time. Walter Payton is the Greatest Football player of all time. Tom Brady can only throw the Football, Walter Payton not only could Run the ball he throw the ball he could block for u he did it all.
Peyton manning was better. He had belichick.
@@yakabatuka This aged poorly.
@@LawrenceAugust_ manning still better
No running back even Walter Payton is as important to a football team as a QB. It is the nature of the game. Brady is the GOAT by far.
@@joeblow2069 or Jerry rice
This man died of cancer, at the age of 45? That is very sad and extremely bizarre at the same time. To say the least. I don't think Walter did drugs,smoked or drank alcohol. That's really none of my business. The fact that he could run like a greyhound and, had a great body and heart. Makes me wonder, about how can a man like Mr. Payton be taken away from the world at, such a early age. Maybe, it was genics? We will never know. One thing I do know that is a fact. He was a gentleman a team player and a very good football 🏈 player. Also a terrific Father and, husband. Walter wasn't a show off. Sweetness was the "show." God bless Walter Jerry Payton also his family member's. May his soul rest in peace.🙏
Simple Answer that Repeats itself over and over again. Only the good die young but I do wonder why?
I was always curious how a man to be so physically gifted succumb to death so early. One theory is that he took painkillers, like Darvon, far too frequently and that is what led to bile duct cancer and his liver shutting down.
All around running back-THE BEST ALL TIME, that includes Blocking, Throwing TD`s and Receiving- all around, you cant touch him
inspiration
I agree with Mr Payton even though Pete Rose fell on hard times he played his sport harder then anyone I've seen he was always going 100 mph.
200 pounds of power, grace, heart,agility, will. Pure style and total grace. A very special player!
Ude was not just a ridiculously amazing athlete. He was wicked bright, articilate, thoughtful.and eloquent! Balanced individual in every way!
Da best ever
THANK you Sir!💎💎💎💎💎
There will never be another.............
Mike Ditka will always regret not giving WP one TD in that SB against NE. huge mistake Ditka!
ctskepler you have to agree that Ditka wouldn't have thought about it and the Patriots were watching him like crazy, if he knew I think he would've given it to him
Didn't help that WP fumbled on the first play of the game a rarity to see him do.
Totally meaningless whether he scored a TD in that one game or not. It is a shame that he considered it so important and remained bitter about it until death. Did not in any way diminish any of his accomplishments.
REST IN PEACE BROTHER
The goat!!!
G.O.A.T.
Only the GOOD die young.............RIP.
goat
Class
🐐
1st ballot no doubt about it
For all of you referring to how classy this man was , here’s a fun fact ! His girlfriend is seated 1 row behind his wife and children . God Bless !
Bad mf. Legend rip ✊🏿
I guess this is among the reason his more like in chicago than jordan.
Still to this day at almost 30 years old. Ernie Davis is the best. Idgaf. If it wasn’t for leukaemia he would have stormed over Jim Brown which is already considered the best, inwhich would have ran more yards.
💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
6:50 - "Jarrett, Brittney, and your mom..."
He couldn't come to address his own wife Connie by name.
Bo jackson should be in hall of fame :(
some people is always forgetting! football is a team game!!! and then people try to stop them and sometimes they can't! but what does this word "game" mean that really I think is more the issue, and maybe the Los Angeles Rams have an unfair advantage in such a contest, but New England Patriots will do what they can, whatever they can!!! To stop them..
and Yu do have some chance, as there is one thing these champions of the Gä have done, such creatures quite many different variations, and yes Yu have been apprised some things are obscure more than you may presuppose, the elk are not Of the Gä for instance those who may have thought so when being apprised of all these type of things what's going on all these many millennia
in any case, the Gä have left one opening I suppose to say, such that this contest really shall & can be such!! Los Angeles Rams vrs New England Patriots! so it is!!! And? Victory is so and such! Whether? dishonorable! or, honorable at least sort of!
please xcuse me, I must parrot away about sensalicious varousitys! Now? most of Yu folks concentrate on this game or contest or event whichever so have yu! dabbling in the intergalactic+ warfare likely to a accompany such game or contest! such as this!! is the perogative of only those foolish enough to dare! the stars are gleaming their merry yummyness on Yu! and whether you yourself are a star or not!
(( "turnabout" we're getting, this turnabout! in? "Standard Proper International English!" ))
Who hit the dislike button? Smh
Emitt thinks he’s the best, puhh!
4:23 you’re welcome

Who was Payton's mistress at the time he delivered this speech?
Lita Gonzalez a flight attendant from New Jersey. There's a book "Sweetness" by Jeff Pearlman that goes into great detail of Payton's life.
One of the very few busts in the Hall of Fame that looks absolutely nothing like the player.
WOLFENCT what
Pete Rose made more than one mistake in his life.
Like your parents did having you. Mistake
@@jroc6354 🤣🤣🤣
Do bad he caught the Aids from cheating on his wife his whole career.
