In Formula 1 there’s formally a pause right now: late December, two weeks of “silence” at the factories, closed development departments, and only repairs and maintenance allowed. On paper — calm. In reality — no. Because F1’s favorite winter sport is the behind-the-scenes war. And the first scanda...
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...
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...
There are two kinds of emotions that come with game-winning shots. The first is pure math: a good situation, the right shot, the game is closed out. The second is when an entire story gets packed into a single motion: expectations, disappointment, other people’s decisions, and your own personal...

Some news hits you and you catch yourself thinking: “Yeah, makes sense… but still, that was kind of sudden.” That’s exactly how it is for me with Terence Crawford: the guy jumps into a completely new weight class for himself, scoops up everything that’s lying around (the stuff that’s lying badly, an...
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....
At UFC Fight Night, Khalil Rountree pulled off something they’ll be replaying in highlight reels for a long time: he stopped Anthony Smith in the third round — brutal, clean, no questions asked. And yeah, after a finish like that, you’re not just “back in the conversation” — you’re banging right o...
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?
