Twitterers commented on the video clip shown at half time and some are campaigning to make #sweetness, Payton's nickname, a trending topic on Twitter. Some were upset to see CBS only broadcast a short clip and not the entire video.

mrmorris0205 The 10th Anniversary of sweetness's death. He was a great player and a wonderful person I got a chance to meet. RIP Walter Payton.
PWSullivan CBS gives short shrift to Walter Payton ceremonies. We could've gone without the highlights and inane studio banter to hear Connie talk.
