Something to discuss

Jamie-Lynn Sigler is shown in the Chevrolet Silverado commercial that debuted during Super Bowl LVI on February 13.

Expensive David Chase, may we please get a “Sopranos” reboot with Meadow operating the circle of relatives trade?

I will’t be the one one that idea this after looking at the Tremendous Bowl industrial starring Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Sigler re-created the hole credit collection from her former display to advertise the primary all-electric Chevy Silverado.

Seeing her pressure the path that James Gandolfini did as her TV dad, Tony Soprano, after which catch up with Robert Iler, who performed her on-screen brother, A.J. Soprano, hit me within the feels.

Reboots were constructed on much less is all I am announcing.

That is as a result of a number of celebrities have been noticed now not dressed in mask regardless of the masks mandate for “mega occasions” held in Los Angeles County, the positioning of SoFi Stadium and Tremendous Bowl LVI.

Granted, of the greater than 70,000 attendees on the recreation, now not many have been noticed dressed in mask on the out of doors venue.

However for celebs, a few of whom have publicly admonished other folks to put on mask, a heightened profile approach a better stage of accountability.

And a reminder that the web is at all times looking at — and able to remark.
