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 Packers' Increasingly Lost Season, Volume 10: Inconvenient truth
Posted by: Michael Rand under Vikings Updated: December 20, 2012 - 12:53 PM
Born out of a series of Tweets by commenter @RandBallsStu, an idea by your humble proprietor and a sick thirst to rile up Packers fans for no good reason, we present the second installment of our series called, "The Increasingly Lost Season." In this series, Stu will give a brief recap of the Packers' misfortunes as they tumble from 15-1 Super Bowl repeat team of destiny to Randy Wright-esque putridity (even if, in all likelihood, they really don't).
-------------
Following a season-long pattern, the injury-riddled Green Bay Packers failed upwards yet again last Sunday, scraping past an imploding Chicago Bears team to “improve” to 10-4, clinching another NFC North title and putting themselves in position to steal a first-round bye from two markedly better teams in Atlanta and San Francisco. There’s no shame in overachieving, which the Packers have done, but given their multiple flaws and glaring inadequacies, is it worth the price?
