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.

Stu's Hunt Down: Ex-Vikings RB Scottie Graham
Posted by: Michael Rand under Vikings Updated: September 8, 2011 - 11:40 AM
--------
The Huntdown
Name: Scottie Graham
Nickname: Was nicknamed the “Human Bowling Ball” due to his polished veneer and three holes his short, stout frame. We should note that “Scottie” is also a nickname, as his birth name is James.
Claim to Fame, Minnesota: was the back-up/emergency starting RB for the Vikings from 1993-1996. As you may remember, he was signed by the Purple while he was working at a pharmacy after being cut by the Jets. Ran over the Packers and Chiefs during Minnesota’s 1993 late-season playoff charge (63 carries, 309 yards). Would be called upon to start six more games in 1995 when fellow Buckeye Robert Smith was injured.
Claim to Fame, Everywhere Else: the Ohio State product was originally drafted by Pittsburgh, and ended his career with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Where He Is Now: is a regional director for the NFL Players Association.
Is He on Twitter: yes!
