09.22.08 SUCK IT, EUROPE
The United States kicked Europe’s ass all over the golf course, winning the Ryder Cup back for the Stars and Stripes with a decisive 16½-11½ victory [Ed. note: no idea what that score means]. It’s the first such victory this millennium, and Boo Weekley embodied the Americans’ looseness by riding his driver a la Happy Gilmore.
The fans took their cue from Boo, the arm-waving, fist-clenching, tobacco-chewing, shot-making, cheerleading, Westwood-frosting, syntax-fracturing tour de force at this Ryder Cup.
He’s not to be confused with Boo Weekly, the leading publication for Philly fans. Coming next week: The Phillies are in the playoffs and the Eagles are 3-0 2-1: how to stay negative through potentially happy times.

“the arm-waving, fist-clenching, tobacco-chewing,”
They were in Louisville after all…
So what’s Boo short for? Boomerang. Well done, USA, USA.
Ummm the Eagles are 2-1….
…decisive 16½-11½ victory [Ed. note: no idea what that score means]
Matches can be tied, which results in 1/2 point for each side. Also, when they say things like “Burly McIdaho beats Frenchy LeDrunque by 5 and 4,” that means that the American player was leading by five holes with four left to play (thus clinching it).
2-1, 3-0. same thing really.
also i despise zack for his helpfullness.
Oh yeah. My bad on the Eagles. Fixed.
I guarantee that Boo is a season ticket holder at an SEC school.
“He’s not to be confused with Boo Weekly”
Or Boo Radley, who is not nearly as outgoing.
Quidditch anyone?
“Doing the bull dance. Feeling the flow. Working it…working it.”
Reason to boo #1?
4 teams, 0 championships, in 25 years = 100 sports seasons without a championship.
Sorry Phils and Birds, a first round defeat in the playoffs after an ‘exciting’ regular season don’t cut it anymore.
