Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could keep lies from conquering the minds of the weak. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

The latest fixation of the Vikings rubes fans is Larry Fitzgerald Jr. -- not that it's without merit.
Poor Fitz is playing with a bunch of awful QBs who can't get him the ball. His dad, a member of the local media, went on Twitter to vent about the situation because it is just that bad.
The simple equation: the Vikings need a receiver. Fitz, though under a huge contract in Arizona, can't be happy. Therefore, the fans say, Minnesota should find a way to make the former Vikings ballboy a Vikings WR in 2013.
He's one of us. He's a Hall of Fame talent.
We're going to devote a decent amount of print (and online) space tomorrow to the question of whether this really works. For now, we ask: Do you, individual Vikings fan, like the idea of making a run at Fitzgerald in a trade?
