face looming divorce amid contract dispute
Parsons, who has emerged as one of the NFL's top defensive talents, has yet to return to the negotiating table. Schefter told Unsportsmanlike, 'Could a deal happen? Yes… there is zero indication that it is going to happen. It sounds like, at some point in time, whether that's now, after the season, after two seasons, like the two sides are headed towards a divorce.'
He added, 'Today I feel comfortable saying I don't think he'll finish his career in Dallas.

While a record-setting deal remains possible, the lack of progress has left fans and analysts wondering if this season could be Parsons' last in Dallas. The situation has reportedly become personal, complicating negotiations, as Parsons has shown no effort to return to the bargaining table.

Schefter described the unfolding events as a 'circus,' noting that Dallas has a long history of high-profile player disputes. While Jones enjoys creating media attention, this time the tension with Parsons could have long-term implications for the team's defense.
Despite the standoff, a deal remains possible. Schefter added, 'for all I know the two sides decide to sit down at the bargaining table and they hammer out a deal that makes Micah the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history.'
But with both parties standing firm, the outlook appears uncertain.
What's next for Micah Parsons and Cowboys
If no agreement is reached during this NFL season, the divorce between Parsons and the Cowboys could become inevitable. Parsons' on-field performance, combined with the Cowboys' negotiation strategy, will determine whether he remains in Dallas or seeks a fresh start elsewhere. For now, NFL fans and analysts are watching closely as this high-stakes contract drama continues to unfold.

'Overweight' Neha Sangwan disqualified from U-20 World wrestling
Neha Sangwan NEW DELHI: In a disappointing turn of events, India found itself without representation in the women's 59kg category at the ongoing U-20 World Wrestling Championships in Samokov, Bulgaria. The previous edition's bronze medallist, Neha Sangwan, was disqualified by organisers for being overweight by one kilogram during the weigh-in ahead of her opening competition round. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 30 Indian wrestlers are participating in the Worlds in each of the 10 weight categories – men's and women's freestyle and greco-roman – over two competition days. Sources said that Neha and the coaching staff worked through the night to reduce her weight below 59 kg for the mandatory weigh-in. However, the United World Wrestling's (UWW) medical control board found her a kilogram over, leading to her elimination from the tournament. Competition rules stipulate that any wrestler failing the weigh-in on either day is eliminated from the championships. The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has sought explanations from both the wrestler and coaching staff regarding the oversight that resulted in Neha's disqualification. WFI officials emphasised the importance of adhering to weight regulations and the impact such errors can have on the country's representation in international competitions. 'It's sheer incompetence on the part of the coaches. How could they not assess that the wrestler is weighing more than her permissible weight limit? Neha was a strong medal contender in her weight category, and the federation had high expectations from her. The country has lost a medal because of this disappointing development,' a WFI official told TOI. Neha had won bronze in the 57kg category in 2024 edition of the event in Pontevedra, Spain, before moving up to 59kg. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Sophie Cunningham and Paige Bueckers. Image via: Getty Images WNBA player Sophie Cunningham is well-known for her outspoken and blunt nature in the league. She loves controversies. Days before, the Indiana Fever star was fined $500 for a TikTok video that went viral. However, her sarcastic response only felt like she was being unapologetic. Well, to some, it might seem like the situation was dropped. However, the Fever star had to pay a heavy penalty for speaking out about the 'truth' as she claimed. She made a bold statement on Paige Bueckers and how the referees gave quite a preferential treatment to her. Her statement earned her yet another fine, marking the third time something like this had occurred. Sophie Cunningham slapped with fine for speaking out on Paige Bueckers In a recent series of events, Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham faced a backlash as she was again fined for making a bold statement about Paige Bueckers. 'I love Paige to death... but those refs were giving her every frickin' whistle last night... Literally you couldn't touch her... That sh*t is so annoying', said Sophie Cunningham. She also said that she doesn't hold anything against Paige Bueckers, but the referees were prioritizing her and playing the favoritism card. Sophie Cunningham had criticized the annoying whistle that the Wings guard Paige Bueckers had received against the Fever. On her recent podcast, she said, 'I'm officially 3-for-3 on being fined by the WNBA," Cunningham said on her latest podcast episode. "They didn't like my comments on Paige Bueckers. I didn't even say anything bad!' This was because she had already been fined twice earlier for her profound controversies. What was Sophie Cunningham's TikTok controversy ? Sophie Cunningham is already famous for her well-known controversies, and things just keep adding up against her. Earlier in July, the Indiana Fever player was slapped with a fine of $500 for a major controversy that spread through TikTok. She had criticized the referees in a mocking tone. In that video, she was seen lip-syncing to Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild', using the lyrics, 'Stupid, or is it slow? Maybe it's useless', perfectly paring it with a hilarious caption, '@ some refs'. This video went viral on social media and sparked heated debates among the fans. Within no time, the WNBA player was fined $500. She said, 'Idk why this is funny to me…like ok you got it bud! Cause there is not more important things to be worried about with our league right now', her response dropped another bomb just at the right time.

US Open 2025: Specialists Sara Errani, Andrea Vavassori win 'reimagined' mixed doubles title
Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori successfully defended their US Open mixed doubles title. (AP) Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori successfully defended their US Open mixed doubles title on Wednesday night, defeating third-seeded Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 at Arthur Ashe Stadium, earning a $1 million prize in a revamped tournament format that featured singles stars. The Italian duo secured their victory by winning four matches over two consecutive days in the newly structured event, which limited participation to singles-ranked players and wild card entries. The champions were initially uncertain about their participation in defending their title, as the tournament's new format allowed only eight teams to qualify based on combined singles rankings, with the remaining spots filled through wild card entries. Despite being among the critics of the tournament's changes that excluded traditional doubles pairs, the Italians emerged victorious after building an early lead in the match tiebreaker. "I think it was amazing to play in this court with so many people and I have to say thanks from the bottom of my heart for the atmosphere," Vavassori expressed during the trophy presentation. The tournament organisers had restructured the event, scheduling it before Sunday's singles play, hoping to attract tennis's most prominent players to participate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Harry Potter Actors Who Grew Up Stunningly.
