The definitive biography of Chicago Bears superstar Walter
Payton.
In the twelve years since his death from cancer, Walter Payton's
legend has only grown in magnitude. The Hall of Fame running back,
who broke Jim Brown's all-time NFL rushing mark, appeared in nine
Pro Bowls, won a Super Bowl ring with the 1985 Chicago Bears, and
is still revered throughout the sporting landscape. Payton has
become the lasting image of what's great about football. Yet in
mindlessly canonizing the man simply known as "Sweetness," we have
missed the opportunity to understand--and appreciate--one of the
most uniquely complex and enigmatic superstars in the history of
American sports.
No longer. Based on meticulous research and interviews with
nearly seven hundred family members, friends, teammates, and
various associates, "Sweetness" delivers an unforgettable portrait
of a man who lived his life just like he played the game: at full
speed. From his childhood in segregated Mississippi, to Chicago,
where Payton emerged from athlete to icon as he broke the NFL's
all-time rushing record and led the Bears to Super Bowl glory; to
his darker moments battling depression and adjusting to life after
football, "Sweetness" is an eloquently written, revelatory saga of
a complex, guarded superstar who died far too young.
