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.

Thursday (Joe Webb working out with ... Brett Favre) edition: Wha' Happened?
Posted by: Michael Rand under Vikings Updated: July 14, 2011 - 9:18 AM
"It's great to have a person like that as my contact," Webb said.
OK, that's good Joe. Very true. Just stop there, right?
"He can still sling it."
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
The last thing this soon-to-be-post-lockout NFL needs is the notion that Favre could still play in the league. Those flames were fanned earlier this month when NFL.com analyst Gil Brandt said during a live chat, "I do think Favre would be interested in talking to a team about returning. But I don't see a team out there right now that would bring him back as a starter."
While we're still convinced Favre is done, history has shown us approximately 1,000 times that it's never a sure thing. Maybe Favre is trying to embrace the mentor role that never really stuck with him during his career? Couldn't you picture Favre and Webb on a high school practice field together, with Favre shouting at him:
"Joe! Completions are way more awesome when you force them through triple coverage!"
*Never say never.
