Pool Cue News and Review

Admittedly, I know next to nothing about snooker, but apparently the holy grail of this sport is to score a perfect 147 break and if you do it during the world championships, you get a reward of 147k pounds (about $300k US). Ronnie O’Sullivan just did it and as they always do, someone posted it on YouTube. If you’re interested, just check out the vid below. Pretty amazing, but what’s really sick is that this is the 3rd time he’s done it. Even if you’re like me and don’t know dick about the sport, its still worth a watch, as the focus and ball control is simply amazing.

Ronnie O’Sullivan is now officially my favorite billiards player. I don’t know if he had one too many pints before his press conference but Ronnie said some bad things at his press conference after losing at the China Open. Some of the key quotes to take away include: “Do you want to suck that?” “Do you want to come and suck on that later?” “Fuck me, how many more questions are they going to ask?” and my favorite, which I will surely use the next time I’m drunk… “Anyone want to give me a nosh?”

My man is going to get hit with a nasty fine on this one, guaranteed. Sir Rodney Walker is reportedly pretty ripshit about it. Well… as ripshit as anyone who’s been knighted can get anyway. The Guardian over in the UK has been following this story. Also, if you’re so inclined, there’s a video of the press conference on some Chinese You Tubeish site.
