"In den vergangenen Jahren hätten die Cracovia-Hooligans dann Messer ins Spiel gebracht, die Wisla-Szalikowcy zogen mit Äxten nach, mittlerweile ist die Machete en vogue. Jacek steht auf und demonstriert, wie man mit ihr schlägt – auf die Oberseite der Arme und Beine, um die Schlagadern zu schonen."

Babe Ruth's called shot was the home run hit by Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees in the fifth inning of Game 3 of the 1932 World Series, held on October 1, 1932 at Wrigley Field in Chicago. During the at-bat, Ruth made a pointing gesture, which existing film confirms, but the exact nature of his gesture is ambiguous. Although neither fully confirmed nor refuted, the story goes that Ruth pointed to the center field bleachers during the at-bat. It was supposedly a declaration that he would hit a home run to this part of the park. On the next pitch, Ruth hit a home run to center field.

Ronnie Wood, Gitarrist der Rolling Stones, und Ronnie O'Sullivan, Snooker-Star, sind gute Freunde. Und wenn der Weltmeister nach der Sauftour schon mal da ist, lässt es sich auch Woods Bandkollege Keith Richards nicht nehmen, vorbeizukommen. Aber die Stones schauen nur zu. O'Sullivan spielt mit seinem Trinkkumpel und Kollegen Jimmy White. Beide haben kaum geschlafen in den vergangenen Tagen. Doch dann legen sie los wie im Rausch. In den elf Sätzen erzielt White fünf Mal mehr als 100 Punkte, O'Sullivan sechs Mal. Eine unglaubliche Leistung. "Es war das Beste, was ich je gespielt habe", erinnert sich O'Sullivan später an jene Nacht vor ein paar Jahren.

"I go up to a young woman in a tank top and impossibly tight jeans and three-inch shiny black heels, who’s having a drink with another woman and a man. She is dark and beautiful. I ask her if she speaks English. Yes. I tell her I’m in Istanbul to write about Allen Iverson. She smiles a bit of a devilish smile. “I met him last night.” The hottest girl in the hottest club, 24 years old. Allen Iverson has already met her. "

I was in St. Tropez, in the South of France. In Ibiza, Spain. I was in Monte Carlo. I was in the Ukraine, Russia, all those places, for three months. From Russia I went to Lisbon, Portgual, from Portugal I went to Amsterdam. In Amsterdam I met this drug dealer, right? And he sees that I like getting high, and he wants to be my buddy, right? This guy goes and gets me a big rock of cocaine. So pretty soon I got a party going on. I got everything: I got these rugby players. I got these naked girls, I got all these ... everything's going on in the room. Plus I also had this girl with me that I picked up in Romania. But then [the dealer he met in Amsterdam] saw how much of a mess I was. He came in and kicked everybody out of my room! All the nude people, all the people having sex. He said, "I feel so bad I ever gave him that stuff."
