Never Die Easy: The Autobiography of Walter Payton - Walter Payton, Don Yaeger

Never Die Easy part 2

Walter Payton is now going to Chicago to play for the Bears. Remember he is from the deep South in a small town named Columbia, Mississippi and now he is in Chicago Illinois in the North. He is one of the few people from Columbia to make millions of dollars and play in the NFL. He was from Jackson State, a small black college. In those days the U.S had different college associations. The popular one (which still stands today) was the NCAA. Walter wasn't in that one. He was in the SWAC. But now he was the 4th overall pick in the NFL draft. It was either the Dallas Cowboys @ pick 3 or Chicago @ pick 4 in the first round. Now in his 3rd or 4th year he has a new coach named Dick Buckas.

This entry will tell more about Walter Payton as a person not an athlete. Walter Payton brook Jim Brown's record. Jim Brown is a retired Cleveland Brown and like Walter fights for every inch on the field and never goes out of bounds. When Walter broke the record he moved on with the game. He never bragged about making the record he moved on with everyone else. after every game he stayed on the field and made sure he signed every autograph and hang out with all the fans. At the end of what I have read is Walter Payton wants to win a Super Bowl for the fans. 

Never Die Easy part 4

Payton is retired from the NFL and is going to be the first black NFL owner of the St. Louis Rams. However his business partners fought for control of the Rams. As that idea failed, Payton became a race car driver for the Sports 2000. Payton got into a horrible car accident, but didn't get hurt to bad. Payton eventually became and owner in Sports 2000. Payton owned a lot of small businesses in Chicago. One thing his business partners remember about him is that Payton always had fun with customers and the employees. Another thing about Payton is he loved fan mail. When a fan wrote to him he would reply or call them if they wrote their number. Finally Walter Payton got a contract with the NFL to drive their car.
