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: Meet ex-coach, current wine maker Mike Ditka on Saturday
Posted by: Michael Rand Updated: June 3, 2010 - 5:12 PM
Football legend and Coach Mike Ditka will be here for the official exclusive Minnesota launch of his private label wines from Mendocino County and cigar line.
Wait, what?
Per that site: Coach Ditka traveled to the Mendocino Wine Company facility in Northern California, and actively participated in evaluative and blending tastings. Together, the coach and Mendocino Wine Company's winemaking team created five unique, high-quality wines.
As you can see by the picture, those five wines include four rather standard varieties ... and the "Kick Ass Red."
We have to suspect a currently active football coach here in the Twin Cities might enjoy a glass of that while going over his offensive playbook.
In any event, we'll be gone all weekend in Chicago at Blogs With Balls. Anyone able to make it and do a guest post?
