What we learned from the weekend that was…

Ronnie Brown is the league’s best left-handed quarterback. Eat it Leinart! Did you know Ronnie Brown was still in the NFL? Did you know Ronnie Brown is the league’s superior lefty behind center? No? Us either. A week ago the guy was platooning with a Lenny Kravitz groupie and out of nowhere yesterday he’s taking direct snaps and scoring five touchdowns (one throwing). There’s a Holiday Inn Express joke in there somewhere.

The US won the Ryder Cup, Boo Weekley is awesome. Suck it Europe! Azinger out-captained Faldo and Boo Weekley rides the pony better than you do. Go put mayonaisse on something. That always makes you feel better.

Our long national Dane Cook nightmare is pretty much over. As we hinted last week, the terribleness of Dane Cook’s latest terrible movie should pretty much be the nail in the coffin of his feature film career. What a shame. In other news, Sam Jackson tormenting interracial couples is still a crowd pleaser.

Shockingly, the Harvard kid might not be LSU’s best option at QB. The LSU Tigers beat the Auburn Tigers in an exciting game Saturday night and may have found a quarterback in the process. As difficult as it is to believe, the kid who played JV at Harvard may not be the answer. There goes our potential “The Ivy League is a better football conference than the Big Ten” article.

Plane crashes still happen. The craziest news from the weekend bar none was the plane crash involving Travis Barker and DJ AM. Check out the photos. Just nuts.

Soccer players know you’re not paying for the sex. You’re just paying for them to leave. If you’re into Euro football and hookers, the Angry T has the full account.

Yesterday was Bill Murray’s birthday. Good to know.

The Devil Rays are in the playoffs. We’re sure all of Tampa is ecstatic. Now that the team is officially relevant we’d like to take a moment to encourage everyone to exclusively refer to them as the “Devil Rays” and not the “Rays” when discussing post-season baseball. It’s the only way anyone is going to learn you can’t change names on a whim. Didn’t work for Prince, not going to work for an MLB team in Florida.

Kobayashi may be losing it. The Zone Blitz provides a comprehensive report on Takeru Kobayashi not being the competitive eater he once was. It’s a lot like pro tennis, once you hit thirty you’re never the same.

NC State didn’t get the feel good story memo. Or the memo about how they’re supposed to suck something awful. Instead their coach got the opposing coach’s dad to give his team a pep talk and they took down potential BCS buster, East Carolina. Many online gambling accounts were left ravaged in the aftermath. Ours included.

And Yankee Stadium is dunzo. A study showed 90% of weekend bar conversations involved a non-Yankee fan outlining a horrific experience he or she once had at Yankee Stadium.
