Drifting across eight venues, the Pro Kabaddi League has seen packed house after packed house and is expecting another one in Pune, a heartbeat of a state which has formulated the very base of the modern day kabaddi. Kabaddi’s existence can be traced back to the times of the Mahabharata, when the game came into being, drawing inspiration from Abhimanyu and the Chakravyuh which the Kauravas trapped him in. It’s believed the concept of the raider goes a long way in explaining the situation of Abhimanyu who was surrounded by enemies from all the sides, while the line of defense represents the Chakravyuh....

The 2014 champion golfer of the year was one of the few players to regularly pull the driver out of his bag on Thursday, with most of the field hitting irons to focus on accuracy over distance. McIlroy only hit 26.7 per cent of fairways, but the four-time major winner is confident he has got the right game plan to conquer the 147th Open Championship. “I didn’t see the fairway much, but as I said at the start of the week, it’s very playable from not in the fairway,” he said....

The Argentina teammates will be on opposite sides at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday when Manchester City hosts Barca in the Champions League. Aguero was controversially named as a substitute for City’s 4-0 loss at Camp Nou in the reverse fixture earlier this month and has not been an automatic selection under Guardiola. But Messi, who enjoyed sensational success under the Catalan manager during his Barca tenure, has no doubts over Aguero’s quality, ranking him with the game’s top center forwards like club colleague Luis Suarez....

City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed the club’s all-time leading scorer did not travel with the rest of the squad to Merseyside ahead of Wednesday’s game at Anfield. The forward has instead remained in Manchester to undergo further treatment on a problem he picked up in training prior to the international break.

Developer Visceral Games and publisher EA have already expressed interest in the idea of Dead Space as a series that would continue to scare gamers for more years to come, but it isn’t easy to “keep the ball rolling,” as they say. By now a great number of gamers have had a chance to check out Dead Space 2, and they might be wondering where Visceral could go from here, so Game Rant figured we would explore three of the most feasible possibilities and present them to you....

During a press conference Wednesday, Omar said the escalating tensions with Iran made her feel “ill a little bit because of everything that is taking place.” “And I think every time I hear about—I hear of conversations around war, I find myself being stricken with PTSD.

The U.S. withdrawal from Open Skies is a bad sign for proponents of the New START nuclear arms control deal, which is set to lapse in 2021. Without a new U.S.-Russian agreement, that too will be thrown on the pile of failed accords and potentially prompt a new nuclear arms race. Explaining the Open Skies decision, the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that Russia had not been complying with the treaty, which came into force in 2002....

Because Jimmy Garoppolo just gave them all even more ammunition. Never give away your leverage. Never cave to internal and external pressure. Take care of you, because the game will show no mercy. Garoppolo knows, and so do the 49ers. Monday’s MRI confirmed the reports of a torn left ACL late in the 49ers’ loss in Kansas City, and their franchise quarterback’s season is over … and so is that of his team....

But then, David Shaw became the leader of the IBF (International Badminton Federation). Now, we call that organization BWF (Badminton World Federation). Shaw was leading IBF, although he didn’t have a thing to do with badminton, except his interest for sports in general....

In an iconic scene from “Rocky II” — a movie released 10 years after the Jets’ last and only Super Bowl win — Adrian Balboa, Rocky’s wife, says she wants her soon-to-be boxing champ husband to do one thing: Win. Even with the NFL Draft in front of them and the rest of free agency left, winning should be the next step in the Jets’ rebuild. We’re not talking 11-win season and a division crown right now....

That’s why he’s so anxious to get another chance for redemption. Like most Giants assistant coaches, Spagnuolo was fired at the end of a 3-13 campaign that saw his defense take a major tumble. New York dropped eight spots to 31st in NFL rankings for yards allowed (373.2), and the Giants surrendered 24.2 points per game, which marked a 6.4-point increase from the previous year.
