		<description><![CDATA[Hey all: RandBall has moved to a new server. You&#8217;ll notice a lot of new things over there, including a different picture, a different way to comment and a different way to read posts. Basically, we&#8217;ve kicked the WordPress habit. It was good for us for the better part of three years, but it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We wrote for today&#8217;s paper about Tiger Woods&#8217; tendency to play slow and steady rather than accelerate at this year&#8217;s PGA Championship after taking a four-shot lead through two rounds. It was an approach that ultimately cost him &#8212; and one that was punctuated by an apt metaphor when a turtle crossed his path on [...]]]></description>

A quick note before we get on with the links: RandBall will be moving over to a new server, probably on Monday. The look of the home page will be quite a [...]]]></description>

That subject, clearly, is fantasy football team names.
Everyone wants to be the most clever. But only some succeed. While talking to a friend of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Take a good look at that photo by the Strib&#8217;s Jim Gehrz. That&#8217;s not at all uncommon while walking around Hazeltine following Tiger Woods. That picture, from Woods&#8217; first round Thursday, is going to be used to illustrate a brief point and to ask a question.
Woods himself has said the galleries following him here are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, all, but we were &#8220;stuck&#8221; on the course for more than five hours with Tiger Woods today. He was, as the kids say, on fire. But it was beastly hot and we&#8217;re just now starting to crank things out for the newspaper. So, we leave you with our one and only post of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Strib&#8217;s Jim Gehrz, who is actually paid to take photos &#8212; as opposed to us, who gets paid to cobble together tidbits of information, write them down, and act creepy on the driving range &#8212; has a beautiful shot of John Daly&#8217;s pants.
(Sorry, nothing appears in the system re: Anthony Kim&#8217;s friend).

		<description><![CDATA[Tiger Woods finished up at the driving range around 11:30 a.m., meaning he was out working for just a little over an hour today, one day before the PGA starts. First it was putting, then some chipping, then hitting balls at the range. Wherever he went, people ran to get into position to watch him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been nary a Tiger Woods sighting yet today &#8212; nor was there expected to be, given that he has said he is not playing a practice round. At some point, one would imagine Woods will emerge and take some practice swings, chips and putts. For now, though, we are amusing ourselves by walking [...]]]></description>

Darrell Kurt Rambis (AKA Kyriakos Rambidis, Kiriakos Rambidis) (in Greek: Κυριάκος Ραμπίδης; born February 25, 1958) is a retired American professional basketball player and current head coach for the National Basketball Association&#8217;s Minnesota Timberwolves.
