35+ min ago (375+ words) Amid breaking's uncertain future as an Olympic sport, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) and DanceSport Australia have been putting effort towards the long game, establishing the infrastructure needed to ensure that the sport is alive and well when the time comes to decide the disciplines for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. Earlier in November, the organizations officially announced the inaugural Brisbane World Breaking DanceSport Festival, set to take place at Brisbane City Hall from January 17-18, 2026. This event marks a significant strategic pivot for the region. Rather than a one-off that only pays lip service to supporting breaking in Oceania, the festival is designed to be an annual fixture, a "major step forward" according to the WDSF, intended to cultivate a consistent high-performance environment six years out from the 2032 Games in the same area. The the Brisbane festival also comes at an appropriate…...

42+ min ago (411+ words) It took until the last second, but the Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga ended their cold war, reaching an agreement on a new deal shortly before the regular season got underway. Still, it has been par for a turbulent course between the two sides. The former seventh overall pick missed seven games due to injury and a suspiciously slow return to activity. In Kuminga's last four appearances before his absence, his playing time was diminishing. Still, the six-foot-seven wing has started in 12 of the 14 tilts he has participated in. He is averaging 13.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 27.1 minutes. Now in his fifth year in the Association, he continues to look like a questionable fit in Steve Kerr's system. Simultaneously, he showcases his talent, athleticism, and upside when he's on the floor. That is why teams will overlook what is…...

57+ min ago (333+ words) The Toronto Blue Jays looked ready to emerge as one of baseball's most aggressive teams this winter after coming within one win of a World Series championship. The Blue Jays have a young franchise cornerstone in place with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., earned a major boost for their starting rotation with a team-friendly return from Shane Bieber and saw a significant amount of the payroll coming off the books via free agency. And the team quickly made good on those expectations by striking a seven-year, $210 million deal with frontline starter Dylan Cease. Now the Blue Jays could look to some additions for the bullpen as well as a potential return for Bo Bichette. And in the meantime, it could be searching for a trade partner to take on two-time All-Star Jose Berrios. "Their attention must shift to the everyday lineup and…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago (323+ words) The New York Mets were disappointed all around after they followed up a trip to the National League Championship Series in 2024 without a playoff trip at all in this past season. The main culprit behind that letdown was a starting rotation that endured several injuries and performance setbacks, including an injury and then a demotion to the minor leagues for former All-Star Kodai Senga. After ending the season in the minors, Senga is now facing questions about whether he can ever get his best form back. And that has made a potential trade candidate this winter as he heads into the fourth season of a five-year, $75 million contract. Senga and the Mets could mutually benefit from a change of scenery for the pitcher, and the front office demonstrated its willingness to cut ties with incumbent players when it traded away…...

Aside from Saturday Night's Main Event in December, this was WWE's final major premium live event of 2025.

1+ hour, 50+ min ago (515+ words) The WNBA's collective bargaining agreement extended deadline ends on November 30, and as of now, neither side has publicized their stance or if they will be opting out of the extension. While the WNBA's future continues to hang in the balance, Project B, the alleged Saudi-backed international women's basketball league, has continued to grow and add current WNBA big names to its roster. Project B's ascension is particularly interesting, as the league has been rumored to offer salaries over $2 million, at a time when the WNBA Players' Association is actively battling with the WNBA for higher salaries, revenue share in the league, and optimal facilities/resources. Project B is a plan to start a new version of a 5-on-5 men's and women's international basketball leagues. The organization has announced it is currently focused on building the women's league first. Project B…...

1+ hour, 57+ min ago (959+ words) Tennis has no offseason. What used to be a time for rehab, home and holiday, has evolved into perpetual exhibitions. In late November, Carlos Alcaraz skipped the Davis Cup Final to recuperate from a hamstring injury. Jannik Sinner opted out of the Davis Cup Final too. Yet, in less than a week, Alcaraz will be in Newark, N.J. to play Frances Tiafoe in an exhibition match called A Racquet at The Rock. The next day, Alcaraz will play in the Miami Invitational against Joao Fonseca, in a baseball stadium. In January, Alcaraz and Sinner will play in an exhibition in Seoul, South Korea, mere weeks before the Australian Open. Although many top players complain that the season is too long, they keep adding unofficial matches to their schedule. The lure of guaranteed money, little pressure and a chance to spar against…...

2+ hour, 4+ min ago (402+ words) With superstar Victor Wembanyama still sidelined, the San Antonio Spurs have leaned heavily on point guard De'Aaron Fox since his return 10 games ago. The former All-Star, who was acquired at last season's trade deadline, is playing high-quality basketball these days, and are keeping the Spurs afloat by leaning into some of his biggest strengths. The 6'3 lead-guard has always been known as an effective slasher, who holds an uncanny ability to finish plays around the basket. This has remained true this season, as he's converting on 81.3% of his attempts within three feet of the basket, which makes up over 18% of his offense. The rim pressure Fox puts on defenses is so effective, teams will often find themselves in the uncomfortable situation of having to choose to apply drop coverage, as an attempt to avoid shots at the rim, or meet him…...

Envy begins to creep in as thoughts of how to survive another winter start swirling. However, winter doesn't have to mean packing your clubs away until spring.
