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.

TFD: Introducing Stu's new feature called "That Happened"
Posted by: Michael Rand under Professional football Updated: November 20, 2009 - 4:28 PM
Stu answers our call for a new feature with something he calls "That Happened." Hopefully you enjoy this and we can make it a regular thing. Thanks for participating in cute kid week here on RandBall. Stu?

THAT HAPPENED
The Chicago Bears went 13-3 in 2001. Dick Jauron was the coach. Jim Miller was the starting quarterback.
Surely, there’s some explanation! Widespread corruption and deviltry, hysterical blindness, a wormhole, perhaps? Actually, the Bears benefitted from the top-ranked defense in the NFL and a turnover differential of +13.
