The purpose of the present article is to fill up a distinct gap in the state of media studies research by characterising selected columns written by Waldemar Lodziński. The texts were published as a part of „Rzut z autu” cycle (1994–1998) in the „Piłka Nożna” weekly. The text contains conclusions from linguistic analysis of gathered press material made from an angle of interesting genre adaptations present in the texts. Numerous examples of original references can be found in Lodziński’s columns: to other press genres (a letter to the editor, commentary, editorial), various forms characteristic of literature (story, fable, riddle) and usable texts (instructions, regulations, declaration). Conclusions from three sport columns are presented in the present article, stylised to be a folk fable, school descriptive evaluation and a riddle.
