  night on Thursday Night Football, The NFL closed
• 3:46
  its preseason with four games deciding little
• 3:49
  except who survives cuts to 53. Buffalo beat
• 3:54

  to tomorrow, two more standalone finals close
• 4:37
  the preseason. Detroit visits Indianapolis at

  1 o 'clock Eastern with Colts quarterback Daniel
• 4:44
  Jones and running back Jonathan Taylor sitting

  out. And tomorrow night at Nissan Stadium, Chicago's

• 4:55
  for the first time as the two most recent number
• 4:59
  one overall quarterback picks. In local sports,
• 5:04
  it's the Yankees week Boston has been circling.

  The Red Sox open a four -game set at Yankee Stadium
• 5:11
  tonight at 7 -15, first pitch on the biggest
• 5:15
  series of the year. Boston is 4 -1 over its last

  Schliller with real division weight on it. Roman
• 5:30
  Anthony is trending toward a return, too. He's
• 5:33
  hitting .333 in his rehab stand and told Nessan
• 5:37
  he's getting close. Big news out of Foxborough.
• 5:41
  The Patriots landed A .G. Brown from Philadelphia,
• 5:45
  reuniting him with Mike Frable and instantly
• 5:48
  getting Drake May a true number one option. New
• 5:53
  England's preseason ended ugly though. A 37 to
• 5:57
  13 blowout loss in Cleveland. With two turnovers
• 6:01
  and a leaky line, coaches will be picking a part
• 6:03
  before Sunday's roster cut down. Bruins camp
• 6:07
  has questions too. Prospect Arters Lachmelis
• 6:11
  is up for the season after shoulder surgery,
• 6:14
  and the captaincy remains vacant with Pasternak
• 6:17
  and McEvoy the top names. And the Celtics preseason
• 6:22
  schedule dropped. Jalen Brown returns to the
• 6:25
  Garden October 10th, wearing Sixers green. In
• 6:31
  top news, there is a lot riding on Federal Reserve
• 6:35
  Chair Kevin Warsh's speech here Friday morning
• 6:38
  at the Fed's storied annual retreat in the tens.
• 6:42
  Warsh aims to frame the big questions facing
• 6:44
  the Fed amid increasing inflation pressure, with
• 6:47
  the July rate at 3 .4 percent. Cleveland Fed
• 6:52
  President Beth Hammack advocates for raising
• 6:54
  rates sooner, stating, I believe it's time to
• 6:57
  act. Persistent inflation and rising bond yields
• 7:01
  complicate the Fed's task, as Warsh faces doubts
• 7:05
  about his inflation -fighting resolve. Analysts
• 7:09
  emphasize the stakes are high for Warsh's upcoming
• 7:11
  address, with concerns over transparency in the
• 7:15
  Fed's communication strategy. In business news,
• 7:20
  CrowdStrike stock jumped after record -breaking

  Sunny morning sent you by. And now, back to the
• 8:57
  show. Let's talk tech. Blue Sky has introduced
• 9:02
  a new setting to help users avoid accidentally
• 9:05
  going viral. This setting will prevent posts
• 9:08
  from being recommended in the algorithmic Discover
• 9:11
  feed. The feature is especially useful for those
• 9:15
  concerned about becoming a main character. Users
• 9:19
  can now limit their posts' visibility to non
• 9:22
  -followers through the app's privacy settings.
• 9:25
  However, this won't make posts entirely private,
• 9:28
  as Blue Sky does not support private accounts.
• 9:32
  Despite enabling the setting, there is still
• 9:34
  a chance posts could appear in other feeds. Blue
• 9:38
  Sky aims to enhance user control with this update
• 9:41
  among others. And in entertainment news. The
• 9:48
  sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will
• 9:50

  by Quentin Tarantino. Just three months before
• 10:07
  its release, Netflix unveiled the title of this
• 10:10
  follow -up film. The brief new teaser reveals
• 10:13
  that Pitt will return to his Oscar -winning role.

  Oliphant. Well, all righty folks, it's time for
• 10:36
  the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes
• 10:40
  from the American poet and essayist, Walt Whitman.
• 10:45
  And he said, To me, every hour of the light and
• 10:48
  dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space
• 10:51
  is a miracle. And that's a wrap for this morning.
