[Ads-l] "Come on"

[Joel Berson]

I merely meant to call attention to the transcription in reputable newspapers as "come on" of what I heard as "c'mon".  Unfortunately I wasn't able to verify because I couldn't find a video containing that excerpt.   (Google showed that some newspapers did use "c'mon".)

"C'mon Man!" is also a running feature in ESPN's NFL coverage.
