Default Weak or not Weak?

I was reading a Post on a Blog, and kind of added to it on my Blog. The question was as follows:

Is it weak or a good play to bet the river with TP? The idea is that when you do this there are a couple of possible outcomes.

1. Some fool pays you off (does not happen very much at the "good" levels)
2. Some smart player raises your river bet and beats you with 2 pair.
3. Some smart player missed his draw and fold so as to not to pay you off.

Most of the possible outcomes of betting TP on the river seem to be bad. So is it best to check-call? Is this too weak? I am kind of a weak player so I like the idea of check-calling TP on the river. I was mulling it over for a bit last week and I really do like that play. The only exception might be the low-limit levels where most of the players are bad and will pay off your river bet with 3rd pair.
