Similarly, gnocchi is plural, and the singular is gnocco.

I don’t know about Tua, but l’d take a flyer on Andy Dalton next year for a backup role if Case doesn’t return.

I missed it live and recorded it and watched. Nice gritty win. Really happy for Johnson. He’s definitely got some skills. What’s up with all the illegal formation penalties? You’d think a coach known for being good on offense would have less of those. The prophet Von Miller really did go off this game. Good to see Landry back too, and flirting hard with his boo Ms. Taunting Penalty.

Looks like those of us in Cincy, and most of Western Ohio, are denied Browns football this weekend due to the Bengals/Lions game and Fox’s unwillingness to show more than one game. The rest of Ohio is good to go as well as most of WV, MD, half of PA, DC, and part of NY. And for whatever reason Indianapolis. You’re good in AZ too as well as San Diego, and for the second week in a row the Pacific Northwest. And the part of Oklahoma that still loves Baker is now taking over parts of Texas, Kansas, and Missouri. https://506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2021&wk=6

Just saw that Janovich, MJ Stewart and Chris Hubbard put on IR. I wasn’t aware Janovich was injured and l thought Hubbard was already on IR. Corresponding moves, DE Joe Jackson gets to ride the active roster train this week along with FB Johnny Stanton, and CB Tim Harris gets elevated from the PS. T Alex Taylor signed to the PS too. https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/browns-place-3-players-on-ir-make-other-roster-moves?fbclid=IwAR1u3RiqMt2Z0bsqOaT9TVF0MudehAtIeKwitPUR2KsotTACAkaM7aBZCb4

MRI scheduled for him and Greedy Monday, so we should get some news today or tomorrow. JOK released from the hospital and has been cleared to travel.

I suppose l’m speaking more from what l’ve seen from commercials in general lately rather than specifically commercials during the Browns game. I see an emphasis on featuring people with different ethnic backgrounds in the same commercial. Like if there are only 2 people in a commercial, chances are they are of different complexions. I usually record the games and start watching 15 minutes in so l can skip past the commercials. Just for fun l watched the commercial segment before kickoff and the 2 segments after that. Equalizer tv show - yep, mostly black individuals and a middle eastern looking dude shooting a gun. Papa Johns - black people, white people, an Indian looking kid, and a bunch of kids of various complexities. Lowes - a white couple talking to an asian sales rep, white dad, white girl with a fishing pole, more white people. Fan Duel - all over the map here. Asian dude, Indian dude, black woman, white man, black man, hispanic woman. Fan Duel (a different commercial with some of the same cast) - white woman, black man, white man, white woman. Next segment: Jardiance - black man, black woman and a white woman are the featured people here. State Farm - Patrick Mahomes and Jake from State Farm. Chase - Kevin Hart and a white guy. Wendys - all black cast. Survivor - white and black people. Next segment: Bounty paper towels - white couple, asian man. Directv - black couple, Serena Williams, black man, white man, white woman. Subway - black man. Northwestern Mutual - featured guy is white, various complected people shown in opening shot. NCIS - white guy, white kid, white woman, black guy, middle eastern looking woman. NFL Crucial Catch - white guy, black guy. So of those 16, l would count 8 of them as “mainly cast” with African Americans. Equalizer stars Queen Latifah, Papa Johns spokesperson is Shaquille O’neal, the Jardiance commercial, State Farm spokesperson Jake, Chase spokesperson Kevin Hart, Wendys, Directv spokes-player Serena Williams, and Subway (l think he’s an athlete but l don’t recognize him). And of those 8, 4 to 6 (depending on who the Subway guy is and how you classify Mahomes) are celebrities that are spokespeople for the product or star of the show, so that explains why they are in the commercial. I guess l’m not really seeing what you saw within the 3 segments of commercials l watched, but l saw what l expected to see which was what l described earlier as an emphasis on diversity.

I don’t know about all that. These are advertisements where goal #1 is to sell a product. Presumably there’s substantial amounts of market research to show depicting diversity sells. Traditionally tv commercials play it pretty safe, which is probably why it took until 2013 to show a mixed race couple in a commercial when we saw a mixed race couple in a tv sitcom as far back as the 1950s with I Love Lucy.

Anyone remember the buzz over the Cheerios ad that featured a mixed race couple? That was 2013, only 8 years ago. Now it’s pretty much the norm. https://www.today.com/news/cheerios-ad-mixed-race-family-draws-racist-responses-6c10169988

I noted on one of those blown coverages the safety looked like he was peeking towards the los, perhaps anticipating a delayed screen pass to run up and support, instead of staying with the guy running past him. The cadence with some of the Chargers’ plays really had our guys out of sorts.

I can’t help but wonder if Anthony Walker being in there instead of Malcolm Smith was a net negative? Something was out of sync with the defense. The blown coverages were a big difference maker, and even if Walker isn’t the guy out there in the secondary he’s supposed to be the green dot field captain guy out there.

When smack talk goes awry…
