Tripod Sports -- November 9, 1999


The Trinity Men's Soccer team capped off a record breaking regular season last week, defeating Western Connecticut (2-1) and Stevens Tech (9-0).

Walter Payton: A Tribute To "Sweetness" He never played defense, yet he could take down any player in the National Football League during his career. He was not a quarterback, but he threw touchdown passes in some of the biggest games that he played in. On Monday November 1, 1999, the Chicago Bears halfback of 13 seasons, Walter Payton, who criss-crossed his way over Soldier Field and countless other NFL stadiums to record 16,726 rushing years, died of bile duct cancer at 45. While he holds more NFL records than this article can begin to recall, the player and the life of Walter Payton was not about numbers he accumulated or the games he won. His essence can only truly be found in the way that he played the game and the how he carried himself. Full story...
