A house in Miami, a “trade is imminent,” no silence in sight — and Morant shows up in a Memphis jersey, puts up 24+13 and… celebrates with a bazooka

The NBA sometimes feels like a TV series where the writers can’t hold a pause. You barely get used to one storyline — and there’s already a new one. With Ja Morant it’s basically a classic: trade rumors live almost as steadily as his highlights. People said all sorts of things — up to “he won’t pl...


Füllkrug got a “bad welcome” in Italy: while he was at training, €500,000 worth of watches vanished from his safe

Footballers usually have two main headaches: how to fit into the team and how not to get dropped from the starting XI. For Niclas Füllkrug in Italy, a third one has suddenly appeared — how to live at all when your safe gets cracked open while you simply went to training. According to Football Ital...


The cruelest sports news is when it isn’t about sport at all: Joshua was in a car crash in Nigeria; two from his team died

There are headlines you read—and your brain freezes for a second. Because you expect a scoreline, a contract, a fight announcement. And instead you get: a crash, a hospital, deaths. December 29, 2025 in Nigeria, Anthony Joshua was involved in a road accident—people from his closest circle were in...


“Snow once every five years — and non-league turns into a movie”: postponements, a time machine, and fans with shovels

Snow in England is almost mythical. Kind of like “a quiet week with no football scandals”: you hear it happens somewhere, just not often, and not for long. And when the white cover stays untouched for even a couple of days, Brits switch into “must capture the beauty” mode — preferably with their f...


“This isn’t an excuse — it’s a diagnosis.” What’s really going on with Aspinall’s eyes — and why the UFC heavyweight division is stuck again

The most toxic scenario in MMA looks like this: a champion stops a fight after an eye poke — and immediately gets branded as “couldn’t handle it.” Then a month passes, and it turns out it wasn’t “just a sting,” but a set of injuries that people generally don’t walk into a cage with. With Tom Asp...

“Oklahoma,” what was that? The champs took a -27 at home from Charlotte

There are losses you can chalk up to “just didn’t have it.” And then there are the kind where you just sit there blinking: is this really that same Oklahoma City? The defending champions, the top seed in the regular season, the team with the best net rating and an iron defense—and then suddenly it’s...


Dubai Handed Out “Golden Cookies”: How PSG Swept the Globe Soccer Awards, and Ronaldo Grabbed the Applause Again

If you thought footballers only get a vacation and a “maybe drop a couple kilos after the holidays” checklist at the end of the year… nope. Dubai is a whole different vibe. On December 28, 2025, the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony went down in the ultra-glossy setting of Atlantis The Royal—where even t...

If you blinked, you might’ve thought this was just another “star vs showman” exhibition. But nope. In Dubai, they served us a “Battle of the Sexes” format: world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka versus Nick Kyrgios, who hasn’t really played since spring and was sitting somewhere way down the ATP rankings....


A blunder in chess is a mistake. In Doha, Carlsen made it literally

In chess, a “zevok” is when you hang a piece and then stare into the void for a long time, trying to understand: why did I do that? But at the World Rapid Championship in Doha, Magnus Carlsen gave the term a second meaning—human. Because before his game with Vladislav Artemiev, he looked like some...

Crawford is retired, but his jabs at the news cycle are on schedule: “Haven’t seen Topuria,” “Conor looked better than Jake,” “for the ‘street’—heavyweights only”

Terence Crawford left boxing in December—clean, undefeated, with that iron 42–0 (31 KOs). And it seems he flipped a new switch right away: now he doesn’t prove it in the ring—he drops quotes that travel faster than highlights. “I watch UFC… but I’ve never seen Topuria” The funniest part: Crawfor...
