For the 323 prospects invited, it’s their most important chance to improve their stock for this year’s NFL draft, both on and off the field. For the league’s 32 teams and their respective armies of coaches and decision-makers, they need to evaluate everything just right — because their jobs are on the line, too.

Fifty-metre rifle prone is an International Shooting Sport Federation event where shooters have to take 60 shots from the prone position with a .22 Long Rifle (5.6 mm) caliber rifle. The time limit is 75 minutes for the entire match, including sighting shots, or 90 minutes if there is a need to compensate for slow scoring systems.

Nigeria have won the competition most number of times (five) including three back-to-back titles in the last three editions. Now a very basic question that comes to mind regarding the tournament is the prize money. Do the champions of the U-17 World Cup receive a hefty prize money? The answer is No! FIFA started this competition in 1985 with the sole intention of developing the sport across the globe and give budding footballers the opportunity to take part at the highest international level....
Jyoti Gulia (51 kg), Shashi Chopra (57 kg) and Ankushita Boro (64 kg) claimed contrasting victories to enter the summit clashes of their respective weight categories in front of a packed arena on Friday. Jyoti opened the proceedings for the home contingent and defeated Kazakhstan’s Zhansaya Abdraimova. In a draining slug-fest, Jyoti emerged triumphant in a split verdict. The Indian stood out for her sheer tenacity against Abdraimova, who was unrelenting with her attacks but struggled to connect due to Jyoti’s shell guard....
As we alluded to, there are plenty of factors to take into account when trying to avoid busts. Injuries are a big one, but the effects of player movement – be it the player himself or other players joining his team – cannot be ignored (ahem, Lakers other than LeBron James). Coaching changes/offensive system overhauls also matter (and there were plenty of those this year). Age is another critical factor, on both ends of the spectrum....
After losing form for Chelsea and no longer finding himself one of the first names on Antonio Conte’s teamsheet, former England captain Gary Cahill has been dropped from the squad. The England fanbase seems split on this – one half feeling his experience is needed, with the other half seeing him as a liability that’s finally been cut loose. But Cahill isn’t the only experienced England player who, on recent form at least, probably shouldn’t be heading to Russia come the summer....
God of War is among the many PlayStation exclusives now available on PC, which has helped sales tremendously, as before there was no other way to play the console exclusives unless having owned a PlayStation.

RELATED: God of War Ragnarok Confirms Transmog System The game sold 3 million copies in its first 3 days of being available on PC, and now God of War has surpassed 23 million copies between PC and PS4....

Hussey felt the Monkeygate incident galvanized India to rattle Australia at the WACA Ground by 72 runs, just a week later. Australia, however, held their nerve at Adelaide to secure a 2-1 series win with a draw in the fourth Test. “There was obviously a lot of controversy after the Sydney Test match, which I think in a way really galvanized the Indian team. They came to Perth with real determination to do well,” Hussey was quoted as saying by The Age....
Game Rant’s John Jacques reviews 2010 FIFA World Cup So, here we are with another iteration of the FIFA franchise (the 27th, actually). I’m a long-time player of the series and loaded up the game having already tasted the demo. Immediately noticeable was that the menus no longer randomly lag, like they somehow did in FIFA 10. Now, I’m not professional programmer, but I’m pretty sure a next-generation (or is that current-gen now?...
Best New IP L. A. Noire (Team Bondi) In an era of non-stop thrills, post apocalyptic mutants and space marine dudebros, it’s hard to think of anything more outside the box than L.A. Noire. Bringing back a 1940s era detective story that had more in common with adventure games than action titles was a heck of a risk, but Team Bondi pulled it off beautifully. The exceptional actor performances and the brand new technology used to bring those facial animations to life took us completely by surprise, and left us with raised expectations for cinematic games going forward....
