Manager A.J. Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow won’t see the field — or the office — until after the 2020 World Series has wrapped, as part of punishment from MLB for their role in the illegal sign-stealing scandal that was brought to light this offseason. Then news broke that neither man would return to work as a Houston Astro, as owner Jim Crane fired both on Monday afternoon. MORE: Spring training reporting dates for all 30 MLB teams...

Zippo’s latest blog post claims to leak more information on upcoming Nintendo Switch video game projects. One such project is a new Donkey Kong game, whereas the other is a Fire Emblem remake. Whether or not there’s any truth to these claims remains to be seen, so even though Zippo has been correct about Nintendo Switch leaks in the past, fans should take this information with a grain of salt for now....

Dortmund tackle the third division side at the MDCC Arena as they continue their push to defend their title this season.

The DR Congo outfit settled for a 0-0 draw against Matsatsantsa in Saturday’s second leg fixture after securing a first leg advantage at the Stade TP Mazembe, in Lubumbashi. The five-time Caf Champions League winners made it two Confederation Cup crowns in a row, following a maiden triumph in 2016. And Bakambu who has been impressive in the Spanish La Liga with 8 goals in 11 games this campaign, reserved special praises for Mirjalol Kasimov’s men....

Not long ago, women’s colleges like Mary Baldwin seemed destined for extinction. There are fewer than 60 all-female schools today, compared with more than 200 in the 1960s, a period when institutions like Yale (then all male) and Vassar (all female) went coed. In September, another Virginia school, Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, announced it will admit men starting next fall. But don’t count out single-sex schools just yet. Even now, a hugely disproportionate number of women’s-college graduates are in Congress and running top compavnies....

Elliott, who was considered a top three overall pick in virtually all formats, is appealing the suspension, but when you start with six games, it’s not as if you’re going to wipe the slate clean. Elliott will definitely be missing an extended period of time. All fantasy owners can do is adjust. Here’s our take on the situation. 2017 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker | Top 200...

The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that Moscow’s focus, as revealed in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s references to a “special military operation” to “demilitarize” the neighboring country, would be to encircle Ukrainian forces and force them to surrender or be destroyed. They expect Kyiv to be taken within 96 hours, and then the leadership of Ukraine to follow in about a week’s time. And Russia’s thunderous attacks on Ukrainian government and military institutions, paired with reports of ground personnel seeking to take strategic points, including the Chernobyl nuclear facility, appeared to only be the initial phase of what may be a more comprehensive ground campaign....

When he’s not busy going toe-to-toe with the bag faced Scarecrow, he’s hounded by the mysterious Arkham Knight, a militaristic foe that seems to know Batman’s every move. Developer Rocksteady Studios revealed that the Arkham Knight was a brand new foe, and the fans would be shocked to learn his true identity upon completion of Batman: Arkham Knight. As the game progressed, Batman struggled with the death of his brash young ward Jason Todd, who had met his end at the hands of the Joker....

Now that potential Exomecha fans have gotten a better look at the game, they can draw new comparisons between it and other media to get a sense for whether or not they’ll like it. For one thing, it’s looking a little bit like Crysis. The game’s high-tech setting and specialized exosuits are a little bit reminiscent of that sci-fi FPS classic, not to mention Exomecha’s increasingly impressive graphics. However, it also comes across like it’s taking notes from a completely different IP: Transformers....

Despite the promising news of vaccinations on the way, Variety took a hard look at the upcoming release calendar and determined studios will almost certainly be announcing new plans for their biggest 2021 movies. While this most certainly means delays for the big releases scheduled for February and March – such as Cinderella and The King’s Man – studios will soon have to make some tough decisions about the summer blockbusters like Black Widow and Fast & Furious 9 as well....

The guidance isn’t new—the USPSTF previously recommended against the use of HRT to prevent chronic conditions in post-menopausal people. The recommendation was up for review as part of the USPSTF’s efforts to keep its guidance current and be transparent about its process. The USPSTF clarified that the updated recommendation does not apply to people who want to use HRT to treat the symptoms of menopause, people in premature menopause, or people in surgical menopause....

The doses have to find their way into arms before their expiration dates or they’re no longer considered viable and must be destroyed. “Expired vaccines are advised not to be used, even if they are only one day past the expiry date,” Jaydeep Tripathy, MBBS, MRCP, a primary care doctor at DoctorSpring, tells Verywell. “Some vaccines have a shorter shelf life, and some are very sensitive to temperature.” What Happens to Expired Doses?...

NFL games can be won or lost from a single field goal, and some quarterbacks are so good at game-winning drives that coaches have to use every bit of their trickery to make sure said QBs don’t get their last chance for a score. Did the Cowboys mess up a clock-burning opportunity? The Dallas Cowboys took on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in a thriller that saw the Cowboys win on a final-second field goal....

Now another rumor has been thrown onto the pile, and it might be the strangest one yet. According to Reddit user hugeleakeractually, NetherRealm Studios may be working on a Super Smash Bros. clone titled Multiversus. This platform fighter would supposedly collect characters from many properties that Warner Bros. owns and pit them against each other in the style of Smash and the recent Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. This seems contrary to all the work NetherRealm has done in fighting games, but it may be happening - just not exactly as the rumors might have one believe....

In the Sept. 30 story published in The Athletic , two players, Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim, accused long-time professional women’s soccer coach Paul Riley of sexual coercion and harassment....
