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.

Hey thanks, Colts owner Jim Irsay, for helping the Vikings try to trade that No. 3 pick

Yes, that's the Twitter account of Colts owner Jim Irsay. And yes, he is referring to (though misspelling the first name of) Vikings owner Zygi Wilf. And yes, he is most certainly trying to help Minnesota -- whatever the reason -- drum up interest in the No. 3 overall pick with a potential QB-starved suitor. He's referring to Ryan Tannehill, a QB prospect from Texas A&M who some draft wonks think could be deserving of going with the third pick.

The most intriguing possible suitor? Miami has the No. 8 pick, and their new offensive coordinator (Mike Sherman) was Tannehill's college coach at Texas A&M.

Some have suggested the Vikings could get a second- and third-round pick just for swapping those five spots with the Dolphins. Who said that? Bill Polian. THE FORMER COLTS GM.

What's up with these guys? Thanks, but seriously: WHAT'S UP WITH THESE GUYS?

Also, obviously: If you are the Vikings, you do this in a heartbeat.
