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.

As of this moment, Tarvaris Jackson is a starting QB in the NFL again
Posted by: Michael Rand under Professional football, Vikings Updated: March 12, 2013 - 3:36 PM
As noted in a casual office conversation with Stensation -- who had no idea we were frantically searching for a mid-afternoon post -- the news that Ryan Fitzpatrick was cut by the Bills means that, for now, Tarvaris Jackson is the starting QB in Buffalo!
This was the quote from head coach Doug Marrone at the Jackson re-signed in mid-February with the Bills:
“I spoke with Ryan (Fitzpatrick) and Tarvaris (Jackson) and told them we will have an open competition at the quarterback position – similar to what we will do at all positions on our team heading into our offseason work."
If that was the open competition, it is down to one man. T-Jack is a starter again.
