Quote "After a tackle in the third quarter, Payton hurt his ankle. He had to be helped off the field. He sat on the bench next to Noah Jackson. Suddenly, Payton put his face in his hands and cried. He was not in great pain from his ankle. The pain he felt was not from his body. Walter Payton wants to be perfect. On this wintry afternoon in Chicago, he knew he had failed. While a huge TV audience watched, this great player sat on the bench and cried."  -From WALTER PAYTON: THE RUNNING MACHINE, by Dick Conrad
