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: Vote for COW ... and enjoy the game
Posted by: Michael Rand Updated: August 21, 2009 - 4:37 PM
That blurry, distant, bad-angle photo from Stu's mobile device is offered as proof that someone in his neck of the woods was already, as of 2 p.m. this afternoon, wearing a Favre jersey.
Stu offers this as proof that there are rubes in Stearns County; to be fair, and he would back us up on this: there were probably many other options within a 360-degree radius. But thanks, Stu, for sending us all into the night.
Don't forget to vote for Commenter Of the Week. Marthaler, we presume, will have some (Favre-free?) Weekend Links tomorrow. In the mean time, enjoy watching Purple Moses play a series of fake football. We know we sure will.
Brett Favre is the No. 2 trending topic on Twitter right now
Posted by: Michael Rand Updated: August 18, 2009 - 4:44 PM
Not that Twitter is the end-all-be-all of how the world is thinking, but it is interesting to note that three of the top seven Trending Topics as of a few minutes ago were related to today's big news out of Winter Park.
Yes, that's Brett Favre at No. 2.
And yes, that's Vikings at No. 5.
And, we're going to have to guess that the misspelling "Farve" at No. 7 also pertains to the QB and not some rare disease or savory bean.
If you toss in NFL, that's half of the top eight.
If you are also willing to believe that #famousexcuses is also Favre-related, well, then we have a bona fide rout.
