Sweetness: The Enigmatic Life of Walter Payton

[BH]

How dare they call out sweetness...

"Back when Payton drove his own RV to Bears training camp, he used to load the rear of the vehicle with tanks of nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. At nights and during breaks in the action, players sneaked into Payton's trailer, loaded the nitrous oxide into balloons, then carried them around while taking hits. The goofy laughter could be heard throughout the training facility.

Now retired, Payton turned to nitrous oxide more than ever. Large tanks occupied a corner of his garage, and he held a gas-filled balloon throughout portions of the day, taking joyous hits when the impulse struck."

The amount of drug use was a little bit of a surprise, but his non-marriage marriage was so well-known around Chicago, that many people were shocked his "ex-wife" was around at the end of Payton's life.

I was surprised at how succinctly the interviewee went after the AIDS rumors.
