The Chicago Bears signed walking disaster Nathan Peterman as a backup QB, so here's my semi-quarterly rant that a somewhat - Diva May 12, 07:47 9
- Back up to the back up but I agree somewhat. I doubt Kap would sign to be a 3rd string arm for training camp but - zunk xometimes May 12, 07:54 5
  - My opinion, it's pretty obvious at this point that he was only interested in starting jobs. -- nm - Strongbad May 12, 08:01 2
    - so what? And this isn't on him. He was blackballed. Any other assertion supports the racism. -- nm - Diva May 12, 09:39
    - But never finishing them! -- nm - nagging wife May 12, 08:02
  - parsing not necessary. -- nm - Diva May 12, 07:56 1

  - I'm curious too, especially since last month flights were greater than 90% of pre-pandemic levels. -- nm - MDH May 12, 07:28 2
