Is he related to Bill Walton? NBA star Gary Payton? Or Baltimore Orioele Jay Payton? Maybe he's Jarret Payton's son/cousin/brother/monicker?Who is this Walton Payton you speak of

Before somebody beats me to the tip in, Johnny Unitas best represents the Colts.
He's dead.
But unlike Johnny U, who was bitter then died, the Colts will die and then be bitter.
hypothetically speaking of course...

I believe that it was the Colts who loaded up the vans and left in the middle of the night. The Colts were the ########. Unitas stayed loyal to the city that had been so good to him. I wouldn't mind a link to your paraphrase, I'm sure that he hoped that the Colts never won. The Irsay family destroyed the franchise for personal profit. What did you expect from Unitas; kiss the organizations butt and predict a 2007 Super Bowl appearence?

Results of this poll is clearly an age generation thing in the Shark Pool. Payton is one of many great RBs, and Unitas pretty much invented the modern day QB. He invented the two minute drill, and holds a record that will probably never be broken, throwing at least one TD in 47 straight games. Many look at that record as equal to Joe D 56 game hitting streak. I'm pretty sure Unitas is looked at by football historians as more of a legend of the game than Walter Payton.

If you asked me the question which would I rather have as representative of a franchise I would answer sweetness for sure.
But I don't neccessaroily think he represents the Bears franchise best out of all the Bears players. Probably Butkus, but I would really have to think about it.

John Mackey was a better TE than Ditka and deserved to make it to the HOF first.
I'm sure winning the Super Bowl as a head coach helped Ditka's cause.
