Payton was a college quarterback. He began his post college football career in the lesser known Arena Football League.
However, Payton’s NLF debut came courtesy of the 1987 NFL players’ strike, when he played briefly as a replacement player for the Chicago Bears.

The holiday season had many nativity displays portraying the birth of Jesus in a stable surrounded by animals.
But one nativity scene in Louisiana had an actual living camel. The Tiger Truck in Grosse Tete added Casper the Camel from Texas for visitors to see over the summer.
With the holiday season, Tiger Truck Stop owner Mike Sandal installed nativity figures adjacent to the camel’s enclosure along Interstate 10 between Lafayette and Baton Rouge.
Casper the Camel will continue to be an attraction for motorists into the foreseeable future although the nativity statues may be stored away until the next holiday season.
