"Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that linebacker pay. It carries into all facets of your life. It's okay to lose, to die, but don't die without trying, without giving it your best."

His legacy is towering. Walter Payton—the man they called Sweetness, for the way he ran—remains the most prolific running back in the history of the National Football L "Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that linebacker pay. It carries into all facets of your life. It's okay to lose, to die, but don't die without trying, without giving it your best."

His legacy is towering. Walter Payton—the man they called Sweetness, for the way he ran—remains the most prolific running back in the history of the National Football League, the star of the Chicago Bears' only Super Bowl Championship, eleven times voted the most popular sports figure in Chicago's history. Off the field, he was a devoted father whose charitable foundation benefited tens of thousands of children each year, and who—faced with terminal liver disease—refused to use his celebrity to gain a preferential position for organ donation. Walter Payton was not just a football hero; he was America's hero.
Never Die Easy is Walter Payton's autobiography, told from the heart. Growing up poor in Mississippi, he took up football to get girls' attention, and went on to become a Black College All-American at tiny Jackson State (during which time he was also a finalist in a Soul Train dance contest). Drafted by the Bears in 1975, he predicted that he would last only five years but went on to play thirteen extraordinary seasons, a career earning him regular acknowledgment as one of the greatest players in the history of professional football. And when his playing days were over, he approached business and charity endeavors with the same determination and success he had brought to the football field, always putting first his devotion to friends and family. His ultimate battle with illness truly proved him the champion he always had been and prompted a staggering outpouring of love and support from hundreds of thousands of friends and admirers.
Written with veteran journalist and author Don Yaeger in the last weeks of Walter Payton's life, Never Die Easy presents Walter's singular voice—warm, plainspoken, funny, self-aware—along with the voices of the friends, family, teammates, and business associates who knew him best at all stages of his life, including his wife, Connie, and their children, Brittney and Jarrett; his teammate and friend Matt Suhey; former Bears head coach Mike Ditka; and many, many others.
Walter made Don Yaeger promise that his book would be "inspirational and leave people with some kind of lesson . . . and make sure you spell all the words right." Never Die Easy keeps all those promises. ...more

Shelves: gcisd-25-book-challenge , summer-reading

I read the autobiography of Walter Payton knowing a lot about him already, but not much about his personal life and work ethic. He created a reputation as a nice, genuine person, which along with his immense running ability, earned him the nickname "Sweetness." I really enjoyed the personal aspects of the book, such as his description of the struggles of going to a newly-integrated High School in Mississippi, and the racism that surrounded him. A big part of Payton's life was the work ethic that ...more

This book is written by Walter’s friends, family, coaches, teammates, and people that were close to one of the greatest football players ever. One story tells about how walter was never looking for the sidelines and how he would rather run over a linebacker, than take the open sideline.

I noticed straight off the bat that this book was going to be emotional. He uses really deep feeling and detail. You can tell he has great memory. I thought it was funny when he said that he started playing football just to impress girls and get their attention. Now to see his legacy today its pretty incredible. One of the best running backs the NFL has ever seen, one of the best we may ever see.

Now to see his legacy today its pretty incredible. One of the best running backs the NFL has ever seen, one of the best we may ever see.
I wonder how his career would have shaped out on another team. Would he have still been that successful? I believe the match up of Mike Ditka and Walter Payton was a match made in heaven. Together they formed a great Chicago Bears Dynasty. When Walter was drafted analysts predicted he wouldn't last very long. Maybe 5 years max as a bench role. However obviously that was not the case. Would that have been the case if he was on a different team? I wonder.
I was reminded of the big super bowl in 1985. Throughout this book it shows how Payton prepared for this long journey to the Superbowl. He put in a lot of effort to making his team better both as a person and a player. I have jerseys and pictures of sweetness in my room. However i never really knew what type of guy he was outside of the game. I always think of the Superbowl when I see his jersey, but now I see this amazing person and athlete.
I think of how my life is and any time I ever feel down, and when I think people owe me something, I think of Walter Payton. Then I think of never giving up, always taking advantage of each day's opportunities, and being truly thankful for each breath I take. That was the Walter Payton way of living. His coach described him as a player who would never die easy. He would go out the best way possible. This book has made me idolize and look up to Payton a lot more than before.
I realize that one of the main messages in this book is to be humble about your success. Don't be hot headed and show boat. Play the game the way you play it. Play great and don't be rude about it. Keep a level head. Then success comes easy, and you're a better person and more respected athlete in result of staying humble. ...more

This book showed me alot about football and comparing it to my personal life itself. Walter payton was one of the best laid back football players of all time history. He went by the name of sweetness because he played so smoothly and scored alot of touchdowns easily. As a child he grew up in poverty and wanted to get out and provide for his family.

I chose this book, “Never Die Easy”, because it was an autobiography of my all time favorite NFL football player. I wanted to know more about his whole life before he died on November 1, 1999 after struggling with a rare liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, for several months. I chose this also because football is my favorite sport and the story of his life is nonfictional. To me, Walter Payton was the greatest football player in the history of the NFL based on this book and what peopl I chose this book, “Never Die Easy”, because it was an autobiography of my all time favorite NFL football player. I wanted to know more about his whole life before he died on November 1, 1999 after struggling with a rare liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, for several months. I chose this also because football is my favorite sport and the story of his life is nonfictional. To me, Walter Payton was the greatest football player in the history of the NFL based on this book and what people say about him.

As stated above, “Never Die Easy” is a non-fictional and autobiographical book about Walter Payton. This book is organized by the chapters of his life. Many family members, teammates, old friends, and even coaches spoke about how great he was in this book. Also this book was being put together before November 1, 1999, so Walter Payton speaks in it too. This book begins with talking about his professional career as a Chicago Bear then it transfers on to his life growing up and so on and so forth. Walter has won one Super Bowl near the end of his glorious and famous NFL career. He grew up in Columbia, Mississippi. When he first entered high school, he wasn’t even thinking about becoming a professional football player, he participated in band as a freshman and sophomore. When he first started football, he was an automatic star on the field and it never stopped after that. He had talent and the greatest work ethic, that is what made him great as a football player and as a person.

Walter Payton: “I thank God for them [His coaches, parents, and teammates] because without them I wouldn’t have made it. So for all you young people who are out there who have dreams, hopes, desires, it doesn’t matter where you are in the race now, it is where you will end up. Don’t give up because you are not where you want to be. Everything that you want, if you visualize it, you can have it. And I hope that you never lose your vision. I was lucky I didn’t and it worked out.” I picked this section or quote because it inspires me and makes me feel like I can do anything if I put my mind to it.

I also admire the quote by Walter Payton: “I took that [“Never Die Easy”] as a motto for my game and my life. Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that linebacker pay. Make him earn your death. It carries to all facets of life, and it is something both my dad and Coach Hill taught me.” I favor this quote because it represents me again. ...more

4. Never Die Easy is the Autobiography of Walter Payton's life. It talks about Walter growing up in the poor town of Columbia, Mississippi, where he started playing football to gain girls attention. When Walter graduated from high school he took his talents to a tiny all black college, called Jackson State. Walter quickly became one of the best football players in the country, and in 1975 the Bears drafted him with the 4th overall pick in the NFL draft. Walter went on to not only be one of the greatest football players of all time, but one of the greatest human beings of all time until he lost his battle with a rare liver disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis in 1999.
5. a. The first theme in this book is the title, Never Die Easy. It means to go 100% in everything you do, and don't quit something without trying. I think this is a very important theme because it is really important to give your best in everything you do.
b. The second theme is the fact that it is better to give then receive. This theme really stood out to me because Walter Payton was such a big time athlete, but he still made sure he could impact his fans life in someway. Walter wouldn't leave until he signed every fans thing they wanted autographed, or until he at least had a conversation with them. I thought this was really cool because Walter did not form a huge ego. He did everything he could to make a positive impact on someones life, and if more people in the world had as big of a heart as Walter Payton the world would be such a better place.
6. a. "Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that linebacker pay. It carries into all facets of your life. It's okay to lose, to die, but don't die without trying, without giving it your best." (pg. 54).
b. " I remember people wanting his autograph after practice, crowds of people. Most of the time he'd stay out there and sign every autograph request. He didn't care how long it would take. The coaches would have just finished running us to death, and he would stay out there and sign autographs, joke around, play around with the fans. He was that kind of guy." (pg. 88 said by Mike Singletary)
7.The first quote I used taught me to always give it my all. No matter what I am doing i should always give my best effort. I think this is really important because to go far in life you need to work really hard. The second quote taught me that no matter how big you get to not forget where you came from. Even though Walter Payton was a huge superstar he would still try to impact the life of his fans, and i think that is really cool.
8. The population that would enjoy this book the most is males who enjoy football because this book is the story of a football players life.

Never Die Easy is Walter Payton's own story, with the addition of family members, friends, teammates, and work associates, about his accomplishments in football, and his life outside of the spotlight. It is an inspiration to those pursuing their dreams. Walter is a hero, and a model for fans to follow. The story begins with Walter's struggle with a liver disease, and cancer. His family is worried sick, but Walter always keeps a positive attitude because he doesn't want any one to worry about him. Just like in football, he fought until the very end. His family explained that that was Walter's style. A fighter; until the very end. He passed away on November 1, 1999, and a lot of the nation stopped to remember the amazing man that had changed the game he loved. After his death, the story turns to when and where Walter grew up, and how he changed the lives of others before he was a sports star. He was from Columbia, Mississippi, and had a brother and a sister. They were very close and they always went outside to play to keep them out of trouble. Running through the woods, playing different sports or instruments, and just having a good time was how they spent their time. In school they did their best to achieve good grades and be involved in extracurricular activities. This is how Walter got into football, as he first played in his junior year of high school. His senior year, he was transferred to another school because the two high schools in the district were being integrated. He didn't see any problem, and just wanted to go to school, play football, and have fun. He was a star in high school, college, and the pros, and he inspired his teammates on every team he played on. From what I've read, I would give this book a five.

The main reason I chose to give this book a five is because it has shown me that I can achieve anything I can dream. On page 16, Walter's wife shares a piece of Walter's inspirtational words, "Begin with the end in mind." He would tell others to have an idea of where you would like to end up, so you can work toward that goal. I've used this to help narrow down my selection for schools, and I'm looking for what I'd like to do for the rest of my life.

Another reason I chose to give this book a five is because I love the game of football, and other sports as well. Walter Payton was the exact same way, because on page 31 he says, "We just were always out there competeing." He always looked to have a good time with those he played with, and that's exactly what I like to do with sports. He is an excellent man to look up to, and has got me to dream bigger. ...more

The book was told from different perspectives, which I found to be easy to read and it gives you more than just perspective of a story. The beginning of the book talks about Walter’s death. The next part of the book is about Walter growing up, his high school career, and his college career. The third part of the book is about his NFL career, winning the Super Bowl, and breaking Jim Brown’s all-time leading rusher record. This is probably my favorite part in the book; it has so many great stories in it. After his NFL career is a section all about Walter’s business career. Surprisingly, this was a very interesting chapter to me. For example, how he almost became the first minority to own a NFL team. What caused this dream of his to fall just short was his business partners argued and lawsuits were threatened. Another interesting fact about Peyton in this section was that he also was a professional driver; he participated in many races and even won a few of them. Unfortunately for Walter, he got in an extremely bad crash in which his car flipped over a fence, spilled gasoline, and caught on fire. Miraculously, Walter was not severally injured, but this caused him to quit racing. The next section in the book is about Walter getting sick and eventually dying, this is a very emotional part in the book and is very meaningful. You never would have thought someone like “Sweetness” could ever get so weak and eventually die, Walter even survived much passed what the doctors said he would. He never gave up, just like when he was running the ball in the NFL. This is an extremely well written book and is very inspirational. You don’t even have to like football to enjoy this book, so if you have not yet read this book, I highly recommend it.

Quotes from Never Die Easy: The Au...

“If you ask me how I want to be remembered, it is as a winner. You know what a winner is? A winner is somebody who has given his best effort, who has tried the hardest they possibly can, who has utilized every ounce of energy and strength within them to accomplish something. It doesn't mean that they accomplished it or failed, it means that they've given it their best. That's a winner.” — 26 likes
