I watched that as a 21 year old........it was well deserved from a guy that ran behind some horrible lines for about his first 6 or 7 seadons of his career.....
He definetley gave it all......

I was at probably 6 or 7 WP games and seen 3 memorable/not so memorable games,the McMahon getting mugged game and Paytons retirement and the Washington beating us in the 86 playoffs,but,sadly I didnt see that one.
Would of loved to have been there......
You still got your game tix??

Good air in that pic.
Man was he fun to watch.

Pretty sure Walter held the Bears record for return yardage (until Hester).

An absolute enjoyment to watch......there was no other like him thats for sure.

I think Sayers probably owns the return yards.....not sure tho.

The record I think he may own to is passing tds for s rb.....he could do it all.....playedqb vs the Packers one time when Avellini or Evans went down.....noot sure which one it was......
I actually have a newspaper clipping of that day I cut out years ago......
I may have to revisit that clipping......

I may start a thread on Bears memrabilia we all have.....I got a shrine built for Walter Payton paraphenalia Ive collected over the years.....if anyone is interested in sharing what they got......
