Reading this today was downright heartbreaking. I grew up idolizing Walter Payton. I taught myself to walk on my hands because I read an article in SI that said he could walk 100 yards on his hands. I had Walter Payton pictures on my wall in my room. He was a great role model. So humble. Now we find out he was so miserable away from the game. Man, this is sad.
