  Parsons sent shockwaves through the NFL on Friday
• 3:53
  when he revealed he no longer wants to play for
• 3:56
  the Dallas Cowboys and formally requested a trade.
• 4:00
  This announcement escalated his contract standoff
• 4:04
  with Dallas. While it is tough to picture the

  Cowboys parting ways with their best player,
• 4:09
  an AFC playoff contender may emerge as a top
• 4:13
  suitor. The Los Angeles Chargers have been identified
• 4:17
  as a perfect landing spot to enhance their defense.
• 4:21
  However, the trade could demand record -breaking
• 4:23
  compensation, including at least two first -round
• 4:27
  picks. The situation remains tense as negotiations
• 4:31
  unfold. In local sports. Yesterday morning at
• 4:36

• 4:51
  five Boston runs highlighted by RBI singles from
• 4:54
  Story and Raffaella. The Sox finished with eight
• 4:59
  hits and zero errors. The Red Sox record is now

  62 -51. Tonight, the Red Sox clash with the Kansas
• 5:08
  City Royals in Boston for game one of a three
• 5:11
  -game series. Brian Baio, 7 -5, with a 3 .19

  earned run average, faces Bailey Falter, who
• 5:20
  is 7 -5, with a 3 .73. First pitch is at 7 -10
• 5:26
  at Fenway Park. In top news. Mark Zuckerberg
• 5:32

• 5:34
  advanced artificial intelligence with hardware,
• 5:38
  indicating a potential shift away from traditional
• 5:41
  smartphones, particularly the iPhone. In a manifesto,
• 5:46
  he suggested that personal devices like smart

  context -aware technology. Zuckerberg is investing
