Taiwan Explains Europe’s Ryder Cup Comeback: Fire, Armor, Ghosts

Written by Brandon Stroud / 10.02.12

Taiwan Animation covered Europe’s unlikely Ryder Cup comeback in their usual way — with afros, morphsuits and people from the United States dressing like Uncle Sam at all times. The actual story:

Europe won a remarkable 8.5 points of 12 available against the US in the final day’s singles to snatch a remarkable comeback win in the 39th Ryder Cup held at Medinah Country Club in Chicago, Illinois.

Taiwan’s version includes ghosts and suits of armor. Sometimes I wish real life was just Taiwan Animation. Then I remember how many people get slaughtered in them.

Bill Murray Tried To Steal The Ryder Cup

Written by Brandon Stroud / 09.26.12

The UPROXX Network is made up of a variety of sites covering different topics with a range of points of view, but the one thing we all agree on is that Bill Murray is f**king awesome and should be humanity’s representative for everything. We’ve decided he should be elected to every Hall Of Fame, celebrated for his contributions to Major League Baseball’s neediest teams, asked to properly represent America’s Presidents and be made an ambassador to Asian nations.

Because no Bill Murray-related sports moment should go uncovered by this website, here’s a recap of The Murricane’s appearance in the 2012 Ryder Cup Captains & Celebrity Scramble at Medinah Country Golf Club on Tuesday. It began with him teaming up with golfer Tom Lehman and The Guy With The Hair from N*Sync, and ended with him leading the crowd in AMERICA chants and trying to pocket the cup.

Murray teamed up with Justin Timberlake, Dick Stockton and Tom Lehman to finish tied for second at 6-under par. The winning team consisted of Michael Phelps, George Lopez, Hal Sutton and Lanny Wadkins, who finished at 9-under.

I’m not happy knowing George Lopez can be better at something than Bill Murray, but it is what it is.

Video of Bill’s shenanigans is after the jump, followed by a clip of some of the other sports celebrities in attendance, including Phelps, Scottie Pippen and William ‘The Refrigerator’ Perry. And George Lopez.

Europe Beats USA In Golf, America Shrugs

Written by JOSH Z / 10.04.10

graeme_mc_dowellThe Year Of Weekday Morning Sporting Events continued today with the conclusion of what the cool kids call the 38th Ryder Cup Matches. This is the event every other year when the best American golfers play the best European golfers and pretend that white people still rule the world. Europe won again by a score of 14½ to 13½, which is pretty awesome, since you can’t really score a half-point in any other sport that doesn’t involve camel-toe.

Graeme McDowell, whose legacy of American ass-kicking is approaching that of the Japanese auto industry, sealed the deal with a clutch putt on the 16th hole. McDowell, for the record, won the US Open at Pebble Beach earlier in the summer, would then watch as a Hunter Mahan duffed a chip on 17. Mahan would miss his ensuing putt and then concede the tournament.

There are probably some good socialism jokes to be made here, but it’ll just get the crazies riled up in the comments section, so I’ll pass. Apparently, people are still convinced that name-calling emblazoned in all-capital letters qualifies as an argument. Maybe this has something to do with why we suck at golf so much. Well, that and Phil Mickelson’s chubby man breasts. It’s a toss-up, really.

SUCK IT, EUROPE

Written by Matt / 09.22.08


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.
