Xi Jinping rarely bothers to glad-hand or to try charming a crowd. His public appearances in China are carefully crafted, with fawning cadres and adoring fans positioned around him. So, when Xi landed in San Francisco this week to meet with President Joe Biden, to try to stabilize a relationship with the United States that has been spiraling downward, it provided a rare opportunity to see the Chinese leader up close and, at times, less filtered than usual. There were a few moments when Xi turned animated — or the closest he gets to it — like when a group of Iowans he had met in the 1980s came through the receiving line at a gala dinner in San Francisco on Wednesday night.

Cincinnati Bengals received a major setback. Cincinnati's coach, Zac Taylor, disclosed on Friday that the star quarterback's season has come to an end due to a torn ligament in his right wrist. The injury occurred during the first half of the Bengals' 34-20 defeat to the Ravens on «Thursday Night Football» and has become the subject of an NFL investigation. The NFL is scrutinizing Burrow's omission from the week's injury reports and a now-deleted video posted on X that showed the quarterback wearing what seemed to be a brace on his hand. Stepping into Burrow's role as the Bengals' starter will be Jake Browning. An MRI on Friday morning revealed the severity of the injury for Burrow, hours after he exited the Bengals' 34-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the second quarter. Burrow bent over in obvious pain after throwing a 4-yard touchdown to Joe Mixon with 5:49 remaining. Burrow said he felt a pop in his wrist on the TD pass but was in discomfort before that play. Burrow said on Friday he wore a compression sleeve on his wrist but was not injured until Thursday night. Burrow said he sees a lot of himself in backup Jake Browning. They are good friends, and Burrow spent part of his Friday afternoon watching film with Browning to help begin preparing him to start next week.
