Calland, a fresh-faced former Navy SEAL, ran the naval Special Forces unit that in 1987- 88 fought a covert war in the Persian Gulf. The Reagan administration wanted to stop Iranian Special Forces from disrupting oil shipping during the Iran-Iraq War. Calland’s men, secretly running high-speed launches from drilling barges, worked with helicopter-borne Army Special Forces to ambush the Iranians. The Army AH-6 “Little Bird” choppers, with ultraquiet rotor blades, zoomed in at 50 feet above the water under cover of night to track the Iranian attack boats....

The year 2018 saw the rise of yet another gymnast in India. Meghana Reddy created history yet again, as she became the first rhythmic gymnast from the country to qualify for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia. Meghana had been captivated by gymnastics at the early age of 10 while watching the 2010 Commonwealth Games. It was during this tournament, that she actually went up to her parents and told them that this was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life....

However, not all experiences with this particular franchise are made equal. Kingdom Hearts took a slightly different approach to Cloud Strife, FF7’s protagonist, than what his first appearance portrayed him with. KH may be a series worthy of taking on the length of the Compilation of FF7, but it can be argued that some details with the former aren’t as easily intertwined as the Compilation is. That isn’t even comparing KH, which is full of retcons and adjustments, to FF7 Remake, which pieces things together by looking at the bigger picture....

Unfortunately, I can’t help you pick a color. If you’re drawn, for example, to the shiny, stainless steel frame, you’re going to need to pick the Pro model. What I can help with, however, is understanding how the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus differ from the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. What Is Different Between the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro? To give a quick overview upfront, the iPhone 14 Pro has a much better camera system along with a technically advanced display....

Though separated by many light-years, character archetypes remain the same no matter what time period they’re in, which is why it’s easy to draw on the similarities of Joel and Han. They both had to make the best of dire circumstances—Joel’s daughter Sarah died in his arms in The Last of Us, and Han grew up as an orphan who had to turn to smuggling to survive according to Solo....

Loba has seen a lot of revisions since her introduction in Season 5, as her relevance within the meta has struggled. Her Ultimate has received multiple buffs from developer Respawn Entertainment, but fans pointed to her Tactical as what needed work. Many feel her reduced mobility while using her Tactical makes her too easy of a target, and making matters worse, Loba’s Tactical often fails for reasons that aren’t always clear....

Many of the “sniper rifles” in Modern Warfare and Warzone are actually anti-material rifles- large caliber weapons meant to take out armor, vehicles, and explosives from a safe distance rather than aiming for human targets. The SP-R 208 is a more realistic sniper rifle, based on the M24 SWS, a version of the Remington 700 adopted as a Sniper Weapons System by the US armed forces. It may be in the DMR class, but it packs a serious punch that puts it in competition with the heavy-hitters in the Sniper section of the armory....

Among Us is an incredibly simple game, but that’s part of the charm. Essentially a board game dressed up as a video game, players run around and complete tasks while trying to avoid getting killed by an impostor. O’Brien discussed his thoughts about the game while on the Good Game Nice Try podcast after being asked by one of the podcast hosts.

[HTML1] By now most gamers are plenty familiar with Conan O’Brien’s Clueless Gamer video series, which see the redheaded TV host struggling his way through the latest video game releases. He’s tackled everything from Grand Theft Auto 5 to Super Smash Bros. and each review has been more entertaining than the next. And so as the holiday gaming season continues to ramp up it only seems appropriate that the Clueless Gamer also step up his reviewing game....

In this world of hot takes and partisanism, everyone is always telling you why this is good or bad, who will win or who won’t. We’re no exception, really. Five Things From Liga MX Round 7 But we’re throwing that out the window with our CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal preview. With Saprissa and Pachuca getting the knockout round underway Tuesday with the first leg of what could one of the most entertaining quarterfinal series in recent memory, we take a look at all four CCL quarterfinal series and provide a path to victory for both sides....

I know how insane this may sound but I am, wait for it, a transfer addict and since admitting I have a problem is the first step to recovery, well, there it is. I can’t get enough of the rumors, ITK info, airport pics, etc. I eat it all up like it’s frozen peanut butter cups. The summer window is one of those times when hope for every club’s fanbase is at an all time high....

The College Football Dynasty big board starts off with a pair of QBs – one of which even casual fans are familiar with and another from an independent school who might not be a household name (yet). After that, stud RBs from the Big 12 show up, and our first receiver checks in from a Big 10 school. We don’t see a tight end until No. 167, and no defenses crack the top 200 at all....

At the top spot is Iowa State running back Breece Hall, which is no surprise considering he led all of CFB in yards during the 2020 season. The unanimous All-American figures to raise his stock even further before declaring for the draft next year and will no doubt make big waves after another summer of improvement. He’s the No. 1 running back in this draft and arguably the No. 1 overall guy on draft day....

Dabo Swinney’s team became the first team in the history of the playoffs era to go 15-0 last season and is the bookmakers’ favorite to win back-to-back titles. It is hard to disagree with the prediction, given Clemson, the No 1-ranked team in The Associated Press poll, has retained the core of its championship team. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is back and, in Travis Etienne, Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross, Swinney has some frightening offensive options at his disposal....

The Crimson Tide began the season as the No. 2-ranked team in the country, but since overtaking Clemson in top spot in Week 6 has shown no signs of looking back. Having notched up its first win against a Top-25 ranked program this season with a 47-28 road victory against No. 24 Texas A&M—which has since dropped out of the rankings—Alabama welcomes SEC rivals Tennessee this weekend. While the Crimson Tide leads the conference alongside LSU with a perfect 6-0 record, the Volunteers are 2-4 and have lost two of their three games against conference opponents....

A total of 10 teams appear to be in contention for those CFP spots ahead of the second set of rankings on Tuesday. How do those teams fit in our latest bowl projections?
