From humble beginnings to Mississippi, through record setting performances at Jackson State, to stardom with Chicago Bears, Pure Payton takes a unique and inside look at the astounding journey and career of Walter Payton. Along with rare interviews and college footage, Pure Payton also includes the most comprehensive collection of Payton's pro football highlights.

Walter Payton, whose tragic death from liver disease stunned and saddened the sports world, ran to glory in 13 thrill-packed seasons with the Chicago Bears before retiring in 1987, and this video serves as a tribute to his exploits on the field as well as his contributions in charitable endeavors. At first thought to be too short, too slow, and too small to have a professional career as a running back, Payton worked hard to make himself one of the game's all-time great runners. Interviews with colleagues, including Payton's coach with the Bears, Mike Ditka, as well as interviews with Payton himself, are interspersed with game films in this very professional presentation that tells the Payton story in vivid detail. As a production of NFL Films, the video features the trademarked gorgeously shot footage (complete with stirring background music) that shows Payton's intensely physical style of play to great advantage. One former opponent explains that Payton never took the easy way out, and at times would purposely initiate hard contact with a defender. And perhaps Mike Ditka sums it all up when he comments that though Payton wasn't physically large, "he had heart." Walter Payton was a respected and beloved athlete, and Pure Payton is a wonderful tribute to one of football's all-time greats. --Robert J. McNamara

I have literally watched this video 35 times and I can never seem to get enough. Every time I watch it I come away with more insight about Walter himself. Growing up in Chicago I came to know and appreciate Walter on a local level, but since his death I have come to appreciate him more and more. This is a must see video if you need inspiration or an uplift.

Untill now i've only seen him in the music videoclip "Superbowl Shuffle" and his first and only Superbowl appearance. Man, i've been rewinding the video a lot times to view it once again. It gets me pumped up everytime viewing it. He's a bull with a grace of an antelope. Now i understand why he's such a legend. Powerhouse stuff!

Not quite as personal or probing as the ESPN Sports Century biographical piece was, but this video is still enjoyable to watch, with a lot of great plays, and some insight into Sweetness' life.

This is a video not just for Bears fans like me (who will have tears in their eyes from watching the incredible replays) but for any sports fan. In essence, this is Walter's autobiography, recorded on video. It captures, in an all-too-brief 50 minutes, his rise from an 11th-grader who had not played organized football before to a record-setting NFL player. His desire and his work ethic are models of behavior for everyone.
Walter Payton was a true gentleman and is sorely missed.

tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.

lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
