And with their free roster spot, Dolphins likely to sign QB David Fales, who worked out for team Monday and knows Adam Gase’s offense.

Things are about to get lit on the internet. A white, free agent quarterback who has no career accomplishments, just got signed before Colin Kaepernick. People are going to flip, and it’s going to be so much fun to watch.
They’ll ignore the fact that Fales is familiar with the offense, that he cares such little about name recognition that nobody will care much and that he isn’t expected to even play. Most importantly, they’ll ignore the fact Miami has a strong Cuban population, and Kaepernick has praised deceased Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Bringing him in would be a horrible business decision.
Idiots will just point at Kaepernick and ask how he didn’t get signed over Fales. We’re in a post-facts era when it comes to the NFL, and I couldn’t be enjoying it more.
