Samurai Shodown is confirmed to arrive on the Switch this month, bringing the decades-old franchise to the hybrid console. The other fighter is possibly Street Fighter V. The 2016 title from Capcom has seen many updates in its ongoing development, but it’s reportedly making its way to the Switch in February. Capcom confirmed that Street Fighter V: Champions Edition is drops February 14 on other platforms, so, if it is coming to Switch, expect it to arrive around that date....

Northern Illinois wideout Aregeros “Ducey” Turner showed off just how athletic he really is. Turner was messing around on the football field and made a catch in the middle of doing a backflip. MORE: College football division rankings | 10 programs with post-spring momentum | Recruiting ploy backfires He makes it look so easy. Turner’s athleticism is nice, but he did against no defenders. We’d like to see him pull this off during some MACtion (he did catch 37 passes for 398 yards and two TDs last season)....

Trying to sort out this year’s crowded NL MVP race is a nearly impossible task. As many as six players have had seasons worthy of first-place votes, which means you’re going to see vastly different ballots when the totals are released in November. MORE: The 20 worst MVP picks of all time Let’s look at the case for each of the primary contenders to win the award … Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins Why he could win: He’s the favorite....

I’m a New Yorker. I grew up always at least liking the Expos because, in my mind, they were the reason that the O-Pee-Chee and Leaf baseball cards that would occasionally pop up at the corner store had French baseball words like “voltigeur” for “outfielder....

Making a hefty donation to a college or university is a legal – and relatively prevalent – way for rich parents to help nudge their child’s college application toward acceptance. An unfair system, sure, but higher education institutions are businesses and money keeps the lights on, so many schools have entire offices and personnel dedicated to generating and managing donations. “You can look back on college admissions and preferential treatment for donations forever....

The influential 33-year-old’s exclusion from the squad could be a sign that Sundram has decided to build his defence around the partnership of Madhu Mohana and Daniel Bennett, a combination that worked well in the Philippines. With the squad due to be announced imminently, this could pave the way for younger players like Abdil Qaiyyim, who had an impressive 2016 S.League campaign, or Afiq Yunos to make the step up and challenge for a place in the national team....

It is a question health officials in parts of Asia have been struggling to answer for years. Like most European countries, India, China and South Korea have banned sex selection in any form. High-tech sperm sorting and PGD are just too complex and expensive to catch on in poor areas, even as black-market operations. But the abortion of female fetuses persists–and where it is not available, infanticide takes its place....

Turkey, a NATO member with close ties to Russia, initially denied the request, citing international law. When the situation in Ukraine escalated to war, however, Turkey affirmed that provided legal grounds to block the waterway. On Monday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu warned all countries not to try to bring warships through the straits. “We warned all countries whether they are Black Sea powers or not to not pass warships,” Cavusoglu said, according to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency....

“In years past we’ve heard, ‘This team has a chance to be the Big Ten champion,’” point guard Shannon Scott said. “I’ve heard nothing like that this year. Our job as players is to go out there and prove everybody else wrong and make it happen for each other.” About all anyone would know for certain about coach Thad Matta’s 11th Buckeyes squad is who is not on it: point guard Aaron Craft and leading-scorer LaQuinton Ross....

We’re free to fight, which makes for good relations. Once or twice one of us would pursue a line of questioning the other hated, and we were finally screaming at each other. And the poor Russian interviewee is sitting there looking at us like we re madmen. They were grimly fascinatedeven glumly fascinated. There were so many opportunities to make a big mistake. We have this idea of the KGB as the evil empire, but that’s not your typical working KGB man....

While the Biden administration denied the report, Iranian security forces have reportedly already removed American prisoners from Evin Prison’s general ward in advance of an imminent swap. I hope the prisoners will all return home soon, but the likely prisoner swap is far from reassuring. If the Biden administration repatriates any funds to Iran in connection with the release of American hostages, regardless of how the Biden administration may spin it, the Iranian regime will regard it as ransom and arrest more Americans as hostages for new rounds of extortion....

The statistics back up that notion: Sauerbrunn started all 16 matches the U.S. played in 2017, captaining the squad on six occasions. But you don’t need numbers to understand Sauerbrunn’s influence in central defense as an organizational presence, builder out of the back and master of the last-ditch tackle. Simply put, she’s indispensable. Sauerbrunn is so ever-present, in fact, that it has proven difficult for younger center backs to break through....

The status of their starting quarterback is not one of them. At least as far as the coach is concerned. “I think everybody’s behind Geno,” Ryan said Tuesday. “He’s our quarterback and our football team believes in him, so that’s it.” The vote of confidence comes as the Jets are off to a 1-2 start following a 27-19 loss on Monday night to the Chicago Bears. Smith had a rough game, with one of his two interceptions — on his first throw of the game — returned for a touchdown....

Certainly, the common consensus had been that Los Blancos had pulled off another great escape, having been second best in both legs of their 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich, just a few weeks after scraping past Juventus in the quarter-finals with a controversial injury-time penalty. However, there is no denying that Real always seem to find a way to win , particularly in Europe. How Arsene Wenger would have loved to discover the secret of Madrid’s success....

Netflix announced a new show from the best-intentioned organizational expert on Tuesday and is currently asking for small-town nominations. The show, Sparking Joy with Marie Kondo, is not yet in production. Instead, there’s an open casting call for American towns that would like to be featured. An organizational makeover of the town will include places like the Mayor’s Office, classrooms, local restaurants, community gardens, fire stations and more. It seemingly aims to focus on shared community spaces that can be improved for the betterment of the entire town....

With the game tied at 83-83 in overtime, SFA’s Nathan Bain stole the ball and made a breakaway layup as time expired at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium to give the Lumberjacks of the Southland Conference a win over one of college basketball’s most-stories teams in history. The win lifts SFA’s record to 5-1 on the season, while Duke falls to 6-1, with wins over Kansas, Georgetown and California in its rearview mirror....
