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.

Donovan McNabb is back in football! (As a member of the NFL Network broadcast team)
Posted by: Michael Rand under Vikings Updated: September 5, 2012 - 1:29 PM
Further evidence that Donovan McNabb was perhaps past his prime when the Vikings brought him in last year: he's now in the broadcast booth. Per NFL.com:
The six-time Pro Bowl passer has joined the NFL Network broadcast team, along with former players LaDainian Tomlinson, Darren Sharper and Shaun O'Hara, the network announced Wednesday. McNabb joins Sterling Sharpe and Brian Baldinger as an analyst on "Playbook," which airs Friday at 8 p.m. ET (NFC edition) and 9 p.m. ET (AFC edition).
It puts to bed (for now) the possibly of McNabb returning to the field. After the Minnesota Vikings released him last December, McNabb said in February he had three teams on his radar, but later acknowledged he was pondering the idea of retirement.
