but Reynolds appears to have some exciting ideas.While nothing has yet been pitched to Marvel Ryan Reynolds is reportedly in the "early stages" of trying to bring a Deadpool and X-Men movie to life As reported by THR, Reynolds' idea for this ensemble film would feature Deadpool he would share the spotlight with three of four other X-Men characters it is said Reynolds wants these other characters to take center stage so they can be "used in unexpected ways." This film, which would be separate from the X-Men movie Hunger Games' writer Michael Lesslie is working on, is seemingly on a similar track as Deadpool & Wolverine Reynolds is known for working on his ideas on his own for quite some time before pitching them to Marvel and the early stages of what would become Deadpool & Wolverine saw the film as a low-budget road trip movie This also isn't the first time we've heard Ryan Reynolds is working on an "ensemble" movie for Deadpool, but this does give us a bit more context as to what type of adventures the Merc With a Mouth may go on Deadpool is no stranger to working alongside X-Men and has already had some members of the team and their enemies in his films Oh, and you can see how the latest MCU film did in our eyes in our Thunderbolts* review. Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story? Please send an email to newstips@ign.com As the one person in the world who didn’t care for Deadpool and Wolverine I feel like Deadpool is a one trick pony and I’ve seen that trick enough times Reading the comments made me think of one thing This guy was worshipped as Marvel Jesus in the first movie now people are tired of him People grew bored of Jackman up until his retirement movie but it is rather interesting seeing how many people are supposedly tired of him Wonder if people would say the same for Ledger if he kept playing the Joker for more than 3 movies for example (I know that Nolan was always only gonna just do 3 but I think a major role would just detract from the X-Men It's already going to be hard enough to get everyone's favorite team member in there without forcing Deadpool in Yhis might be a unpopular opinion but I'm good not seeing Deadpool in a movie for a good long while Kinda tired of hearing Ryan Reynolds name at the moment Perhaps this man should be more concerned with the multiple lawsuits him and his wife are involved in for trying to take away a movie from another director as well as trying to publicly defame him Both Ryan and Blake are narcissistic and and are proving to be horrible humans He knows he's cancelled and he's playing it off hes a one trick poney where the trick isnt even that good of a trick wolverine was the only reason i enjoyed the last movie I like the movies but they should just let it end already Not that excited for Ryan Reynolds anymore after finding out he's just another extremely toxic bully along with his wife It would be a good thing for Reynolds and Deadpool to play as little part as possible but Reynolds is as funny as a severed head you literally wished for Wolverine to kill him due to him not shutting up in D&W Reynolds and the Deadpool character are beyond cringe I would have Doom kill Deadpool for good in Doomsday And Hugh Jackman thought he played Wolverine for the last time If only Reynolds can finagle Brolin’s Cable meeting Brolin’s Thanos Why is Reynolds the only one championing for these things His movie was one of three in the last five years to make any real monies and his alone made $1.3 billion with an R-rating We haven’t even had a solid X-Men film since Lawrence fell off the Earth Or are they holding a spot for another go with Captain Marvel 3 Reynolds is probably going to be richer than all of them before Di$ney starts making Di$ney levels of money again Ryan Reynolds' movie was the only movie to make a billion in Marvel's current phase of failure so Kevin Feige is definitely going to have to listen to him If he had any real comic fans in his circle he would be trying to make Identity Disc into a film I think the same people that are saying they’re tired of Ryan Reynolds Deadpool will be the first in line to watch the next movie It’s like when a girl breaks up with a guy that frustrates her but then gets back with him because in her mind The original cast will all be dead or in a retirement home by the time this happens deadpool and spiderman is the only movie we want I think it would be fun if he played a super small part in an X-men movie Like they keep leaving him behind or he shows up just a little late every time and no one gives him the time of day lol (1:06)Herculez Gomez and Kasey Keller debate whether any USMNT players could join Wrexham I still think about him all the time, and I was thinking about him again last weekend. You might remember him, too, since I wrote about him a couple of years ago I was playing in a rec league soccer game on a Thursday night in Los Angeles There were very few -- if any -- other former collegiate soccer players in this league so I always clocked the handful of other players who stood out shaggy-haired dude dressed all in black who was pretty good on the ball and at least made it hard for me to find space and push the ball forward but as everyone else walked over to the sideline He then jogged over to give me a high-five and a half-hug Then he said three words I've never forgotten -- "'Deadpool' premiere bro" -- before walking straight off the field and into the parking lot I haven't seen Ryan Reynolds again since that moment That was when Wrexham became the first team in the history of organized English soccer to earn three successive promotions they were a semiprofessional team that no one in America had ever heard of they're co-owned by the guy who plays Deadpool Wrexham have become one of the most popular European soccer clubs in the United States because of the docuseries "Welcome to Wrexham" (stream on Disney+) that the team was built around -- er, that was built around the team. And they're just one more promotion away from the Premier League Reynolds and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" star Rob McElhenney bought the club for around £2 million in 2021 and now it's estimated to be worth upward of £150 million And what can we learn from their unprecedented achievement As one owner of a large European club told me when I asked him the first question: "Spend lots of money and get promoted." And when I asked Tim Keech, who founded MRKT Insights a data consultancy that helps clubs make better decisions what lessons Wrexham might hold for the larger soccer world Back when I wrote about the club's promotion from the National League to League Two They were paying their players around £3.5 million in wages while the average National League club was spending £1 million If you spend more than three times what your opponents do on talent then you're going to win a lot more games than your opponents Soccer is a complex, dynamic game, but it gets pretty simple when you have that much more money than everyone else. Countless studies show a very strong relationship between wage spend and performance The relationship weakens at the very top of Europe's five biggest leagues your 80th point will cost a lot more than your 50th point Wrexham are in a spot where brute-force spending can quickly lead to wins but they still managed to lead the league in payroll spending just south of £6 million on player salaries more than double any other club in England's fourth tier This season in League One, they're spending about £10.6 million on player salaries -- third most in the league. And they've spent nearly €5 million on transfer fees. The only club to outspend Wrexham on both salaries and transfer fees is Birmingham City and they're the only team ahead of them in the table spending doesn't automatically equal success Paying the guy who plays Sunday league and works at your favorite coffee shop a League One salary doesn't suddenly turn him into a League One-level player Wrexham have had to at least be competent at team-building and player identification to experience all the immediate success -- and they've probably been better than that play1:23Why Wrexham's rapid rise would hit a wall in the ChampionshipMark Ogden explains why Wrexham would find it difficult to take the next step to the Premier League if they were to achieve League One promotion this season "The club have invested heavily in salaries for experienced players," said Keech a firm that advises clients interested in buying professional sports teams They have purchased players who are too good for the level in the National League and League Two I have been very surprised at how easily they have gone through League One so I would say this is a genuine footballing achievement rather than just pure cash." This is also a marked shift in approach. Back in the National League, Wrexham won matches by blowing teams off the field and being good-but-not-great defensively. However, analysis from the consultancy Twenty First Group has found that the successful promoted teams tend to be balanced in the other direction: super strong defensively Twenty First Group maintains a global ranking of every professional club in the world. As of today, Wrexham rank 527th -- right around the Los Angeles Galaxy and Barcelona's second team "Since January 1, 2020, they rank 17th among roughly 4,100 teams worldwide for performance improvement, second only to Nottingham Forest among English clubs," said Aurel Nazmiu senior data scientist at Twenty First Group the cartelized structure with its revenue sharing salary penalties and no promotion/relegation ensures massive revenues for all 30 teams regardless of how they perform For all the talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets "ruining baseball" by handing out large contracts every owner is sitting on a billion-dollar-plus asset The teams that aren't spending more are capable of spending more; they just choose not to spend more the only way the business model could be worse is if each home team burned a stack of cash before each game as a tribute to the soccer gods The valuations of clubs and their revenues fluctuate massively from year to year with the specter of relegation and the promise of promotion And player salaries take up a far bigger chunk of revenue than they do in any of the major American sports "The fundamentals of most investments are awful," Keech said "Even with Wrexham's multiple promotions and huge commercial income the club will lose significant money on day-to-day operations." which is believed to be a record for League Two Before Reynolds and McElhenney bought the club its revenue in the National League was £1.15 million and Rob McElhenney have taken the team on a successful but expensive run to England's second division. Martin Rickett/PA Images/Getty Images"This works purely because of the fact they have Hollywood A-lister owners who are hugely charismatic and have used their celebrity to raise commercial income to unheard of levels," Keech said "This isn't an option available to most owners; even bringing in a celebrity as a [very] minor shareholder will not have any impact in most cases." And even with the revenues driven by the famous owners and a popular television show about them (and the team) estimates suggest that Reynolds and McElhenney have lost around £20 million since purchasing the club And although that seems as if it would be offset by the astronomical growth in the value of the club a large part -- nearly all -- of the valuation is pinned to the fact that Reynolds and McElhenney own the team what would a purchaser be buying?" Keech said The reality for Reynolds and McElhenney is that they're going to have to keep losing money (or diluting their ownership shares) to achieve what they've openly stated to be their goal: reaching the Premier League. Per the last reporting year Championship clubs lost a combined £314 million in 2023-24 Let's say that Wrexham double their estimated payroll next season taking it up from £11 million to £22 million that would give them about a 10% chance of getting promoted if they got better-than-average player performance from their spending they'd need to spend closer to £25 million the club would need to increase its payroll into the £27 million to £34 million range but they'll also have to spend differently It's unlikely they can continue to get by with older players in the Championship and younger players are something of a double-edged sword: You get peak performance but you're also more likely to lose them to a bigger club Added transfer revenues will allow them to spend more but the club hasn't had to play the player-trading game yet They've been paying transfer fees and barely receiving any Twenty-four players have featured in at least 100 minutes for Wrexham in League One -- and they're all from England Thanks to various squad-construction rules these are the most expensive players in the Championship and the Premier League and it's highly unlikely Wrexham will be able to afford the best British and Irish players The three relegated teams from the Premier League will be receiving parachute payments worth £39 million -- that's on top of all of the other revenue streams available to everyone else in the Championship "The problem will be that for the first time they will be up against superior technical players who are physically as good as them," Keech said "It is possible to get promoted to the Premier League on a low-end Championship budget Wrexham will be paying at most a quarter of the amount the likes of Southampton Given where the club was just a few years ago -- scuffling along outside the Football League system -- and where they're headed -- the Championship for the first time since the early 1980s -- this has to feel like a miracle to all of the lifelong Wrexham fans It has to feel like an inspirational triumph it has been a fundamentally modern progression: The power of celebrity the power of television and the power of money come together to create an unstoppable force By no objective definition have Wrexham been underdogs at any step of their journey up the ladder as they enter a league where almost everyone will have better players and more money than they currently do they manage to stay up and one day reach the Premier League I'll walk toward that proverbial parking lot And I'll mutter those three words to myself: "Wrexham promotion Actor Ryan Reynolds appears in a Tim Hortons' advertisement in an undated still image production handout.The Canadian Press Tim Hortons is baking some star power into its breakfast menu The cafe chain launched scrambled egg boxes with actor Ryan Reynolds on Monday The boxes developed by the Vancouver-born star of “Deadpool” come in bacon or sausage varieties and include two scrambled eggs While Tims has spent its 60th anniversary year working to lure in afternoon and evening diners with newer menu items like rice-based bowls and flatbread pizzas the Reynolds partnership so far focuses on its strongest part of the day: breakfast Tims chief marketing officer Hope Bagozzi said Reynolds looked for a breakfast option that resembled the bacon and eggs he and his family eat at home “When I visited the Tim Hortons Test Kitchen by which I mean I ate an irresponsible amount of eggs I regret nothing,” said Reynolds in a news release His appetite for them was so voracious that the Tims chef almost couldn’t make the boxes fast enough when Reynolds was on set filming TV and social media ads for the products The ads feature an assistant fulfilling Reynolds’ rider which include a newspaper with all references to birds redacted a jigsaw puzzle one piece away from completion and his beloved breakfast box Competition within the breakfast segment has intensified over the last decade with new players like European chain Pret A Manger entering the market and more restaurants offering all-day breakfast There’s also been a fight for customers because some have dropped morning coffee runs as they turned to hybrid work schedules or looked for more affordable breakfasts because of inflation “The breakfast day part has been the hardest hit for quick-serve restaurants with hybrid working so it makes sense to me to come up with a box that’s a different portable option versus just a breakfast sandwich,” said Jo-Ann McArthur president at Toronto advertising agency Nourish Food Marketing “We know eggs are beloved at any time and I like the fact that it’s kind of nostalgic which is also a trend that we’re seeing (because) consumers want to go back to that nostalgic comfort food.” McArthur thinks the Reynolds name carries plenty of cachet for Canadians Tims locations because she suspects many Americans don’t realize he is Canadian because of his deep ties to Hollywood The risk Tims runs is that “he is a tad overexposed right now,” she said The actor has also narrated an Air Canada ad and fundraised for SickKids Hospital in Toronto and the Terry Fox Foundation Tims started talking to Reynolds after wrapping a collaboration with pop star Justin Bieber that spanned 2021 and 2022 and spawned a cold brew He does not do a lot of endorsements,” said McArthur The night before Tims broke the news last summer to franchisees about the upcoming celeb partnership Reynolds sent a video joking he was “thrilled” the company chose him when they could have gone with Robert Goulet the Canadian crooner who played Lancelot in the original “Camelot.” it erupted,” Bagozzi recalled of the moment it was played “I was trying to talk and it was just like there was hooting and shouting and screaming.” The franchisees were sworn to secrecy and Bagozzi is impressed they didn’t let it slip though the company ran a “Deadpool” ad with Reynolds in July and teased on an earnings call that more was coming A second phase of the Reynolds partnership will follow the breakfast boxes Bagozzi would not reveal its timeline or contents Report an editorial error

Wrexham's stadium currently holds almost 13,000 people. By comparison, this year's current Championship leader, Leeds United, has a stadium capacity of almost 40,000 Clubs also have more experienced front offices capable of signing talented players and landing major sponsorship deals Next season, Wrexham will play against Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton – the three teams relegated this year from the Premier League. Despite poor seasons, each team could still get more than $100 million payouts that will soften the blow of their fall from the top Bennett compared Wrexham to a "cuddly bunch of unicorns and Care Bears." "The Championship is an unforgiving knife fight in which money wins out," he continued "It's kind of fought in the prison yard with homemade shivs But Bennett says he wouldn't bet against them winning promotion again next year "There'll be a whole new level of characters coming in to play for them A whole new set of Star Wars cantina-worthy human beings welding themselves to the Wrexham story," Bennett said "I can imagine the time in which the great Real Madrid are working out where they can park the bus at Wrexham for a Champions League game," he added Wrexham's final game of the season is away against Lincoln City on May 3 The radio version of this story was produced by Taylor Haney and Nia Dumas Become an NPR sponsor Though their A-list parents are fierce protectors of their privacy the Reynolds kids have made A-list appearances in Taylor Swift songs and Marvel movies @vancityreynolds Ryan Reynolds launch loaded egg breakfastThe new offering features eggs Courtesy Tim HortonsCoffee chain Tim Hortons has partnered with actor Ryan Reynolds to launch a new egg breakfast offering called Ryan's Scrambled Eggs Loaded Breakfast The new menu item is available now at all Tim Hortons locations across the U.S and Canada and includes two scrambled eggs a choice of sausage crumble or bacon strips and Tim Hortons chipotle sauce The partnership was first announced at in a video posted on Tim Hortons’ social media channels which features Ryan Reynolds dressed as a character he famously plays known as "Deadpool.” Currently, the collaboration and new offering are being promoted in a commercial that parodies Reynold’s “rider,” which are oddly specific items he asks for The peculiar items requested in the advertisement include a newspaper with all references to birds redacted a jigsaw puzzle one piece away from completion and the new Tim Hortons breakfast offering "There's something really special about having the chance to collaborate with such an iconic and beloved Canadian brand When I visited the Tim Hortons Test Kitchen Tim Hortons Chief Marketing Officer Hope Bagozzi said "We're proud to be a daily breakfast and coffee destination for so many of our guests and this partnership with Ryan is another way for us to offer a uniquely Tim Hortons morning meal that kickstarts your day with great taste and great value."

Taylor and Blake went from BFFs to collaborators when the Betty Buzz founder directed the music video for "I Bet You Think About Me," a vault track from Red (Taylor's Version) "I finally got to work with the brilliant & wickedly funny @blakelively on her directorial debut," Taylor raved on Instagram and Twitter Blake and Ryan helped Taylor celebrate her performance on Saturday Night Live enjoying a night out in New York City with Cara Delevingne his wife Sophie Turner and The Queen's Gambit star and that night's host Anya Taylor-Joy Blake and Ryan were in the audience to support Taylor when she appeared at the Tribeca Film Festival to promote the short film she directed for "all too well," the 10-minute version of her iconic 2012 breakup song about Jake Gyllenhaal After the release of Taylor's 10th studio album Midnights, Ryan opened up about how his and Blake's daughters feel about the superstar being a close family friend "I think what's most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor's just a like a friend of mommy and daddy that's very almost family," the Deadpool star explained on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show "And then they went to a concert one day and were like Ryan went on to share that their children were such fans of Taylor's tunes that her music is "like a religion in their house" and revealed he Blake and the girls had a Taylor-themed celebration planned after his interview We are having a Taylor Swift Midnights dance party right after this," Ryan said We're headed straight to the porch where we're doing a full dance number set to Midnights—swear words included My favorite thing is when a 3-year-old is just throwing down the F-bomb in a song and has no idea."

During an appearance on Today, Ryan joked that he and Blake hadn't shared the name of their fourth child yet because they were still waiting on Taylor to share the moniker with them—a nod to her song "betty" on folklore "We always wait for Taylor to tell us what the child's name will be," the Deadpool & Wolverine star joked we'll say this: we're still waiting And lazy is not a word I'd attach to Taylor."  Later that month, Blake attended one of the Grammy winner's Eras Tour shows in Madrid, where Taylor gave an onstage shoutout to her children The cafe chain is launching two scrambled egg

went with a lower amount I’m really concerned about the revenue that’s coming offline and the environment we’re in right now.” Monday, Reynolds first took this disagreement public by putting out a statement with the Republican senate leader Jack Whitver to say they agreed on a budget It left out the house led by Speaker Pat Grassley who wants to spend $36 million more Reynolds claims this is all part of negotiations Senate to come in here and then we kind of end up back here and that’s just kind of the process that takes place every year so it’s just a matter of where those dollars land so that’s kind of part of the negotiation right now,” she said Grassley said the state has a $2 billion ending balance and $4 billion in the Taxpayer Relief Fund “We’re by no means somehow just opening up the wallet and spending every dollar we can get our hands on,” he said Grassley says one of the biggest sticking points for House Republicans is that Reynolds’ bill doesn’t include $14 million in funding to increase pay for para educators He says that funding was agreed to last year to get the House to go along with the Area Education Agency system overhaul “Our caucus feels extremely strong that if we’re going to provide that level of support that we did with that bill last year that we’re not going to go back and just cut that and leave our schools in a situation to find the difference Those are more like Governor Culver practices that we saw and we don’t want to see that happening on something like that,” he said Chet Culver was the former Democratic governor ridiculed by Republicans for cutting spending 10% months after the legislature approved the budget There also could be trouble in the Iowa Senate About one third of Iowa’s Republican senators are threatening to hold up next year’s budget if their own leadership doesn’t allow a vote on eminent domain reform but this is the first time that it could also stall final negotiations on key legislative actions The Republican-led House has passed reforms curbing the use of eminent domain but Republican leadership in the senate has not allowed debate Some legislators are trying to stop a proposed carbon capture pipeline that received permission from state regulators to use eminent domain for access to people’s land Governor Kim Reynolds has not called for restrictions on eminent domain We asked her Thursday whether the senate should vote on restrictions like a dozen senators from her party have demanded so I’m not going to get in the middle of it really do everything we can to protect property rights but it is a part of the equation thread that needle and get to that answer is part of the process,” she said If the 12 senators keep their promise and vote no Senate Republicans may not be able to pass a budget in a chamber despite holding 34 of the 50 seats Reynolds says he’s looking into ideas that would see his Merc with a Mouth share the screen with more of the mutants, while also working on other projects. © 2024 20th Century Studios / © and ™ 2024 MARVEL With last year’s smash success ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’Ryan Reynolds leapfrogged into the position of being among the most valuable performers –– and creators –– among the Marvel ranks He’s also been stepping back from the acting side of his career in the last few months, with word that he’s juggling several writing projects, including a comedy about a reforming boyband (more on that below) that could see him reunite with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ co-star Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy Still, the Deadpool whispers continue, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds is working on various treatments for an ensemble film featuring three or four X-Men characters The actor/writer/producer is said to believe that keeping his f-bomb wielding anti-hero more on the sidelines could allow for the X-Men characters to be used in unexpected ways Reynolds has been open about every Deadpool movie needing a strong reason to exist and it’s possible this could provide the avenue he needs Ryan Reynolds attends the UK Fan Event of Marvel Studios' 'Deadpool & Wolverine' at Eventim Apollo Photo by StillMoving.Net for The Walt Disney Company Limited Right now, it’s all just noodling, Reynolds figuring out what he wants to do without directly involving Disney and Marvel (though you know both companies will be interested to see what he comes up with) And he’s said that he doesn’t intend to have Deadpool really find a place amongst the likes of the Avengers for storytelling reasons Here’s what he said  at the Time 100 summit: If Deadpool becomes an Avenger or an X-Man Not to mention that Marvel is already exploring its own X-Men future, with ‘Hunger Games’ prequel writer Michael Lesslie at work on a script for the mutant heroes Chances are we’ll have to wait a while to see what Reynolds comes up with –– he prefers to take his time honing his treatments and went through several different variations of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ at the early stage before it evolved into its final form (and that was partly thanks to Jackman’s decision to come back to the role of Logan/Wolverine) and Ryan Reynolds attend 'The Adam Project' World Premiere at Alice Tully Hall on February 28 Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images for Netflix The other big project Reynolds is scripting at the moment is tentatively titled ‘Boy Band.’ much of the movie is a mystery –– we don’t know exactly what aspect of the boy band life would be featured But given that Reynolds is looking to reunite with his friend and ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ co-star Jackman on the new movie we can imagine something catching up with the former members of a boy band group who have since gone their separate ways The Netflix TV series ‘Girls5Eva’ covers similar territory albeit from the point of view of a girl group This is what Reynolds told about the project: “I’m on a second draft. The first draft was incredible and written by one of my favorite writers, Jesse Andrews [‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’] I’m not filming anything for at least a year This feels like it needs to have an extremely modest budget and one that wouldn’t be all about going to pay above-the-line actors Hugh and I are open to creative ways to make this movie at an absolute bargain.” And this was his quote about the trouble with boy bands: “A lot of members of boy bands — and there are a lot of them — had managers who left them high and dry They experienced levels of fame that would be very difficult for anyone to navigate when you are farming out your self-worth to an audience of screaming people It creates a kind of arrested cultural development They’re forever associated with that period of time in their lives This would be about people in their 40s and 50s trying to get their lives back I think there is something beautiful about that The north star for me as a producer is joy I feel like cynicism is a contracting industry and doesn’t have a great shelf life.” Ryan Reynolds and Jennifer Garner in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' This concept would likely be a few years away if it actually happens –– not only does Reynolds have to commit to a treatment and write (or co-write) it but there’s also the matter of Marvel approving it and then finding space on its busy release schedule to get it into theaters Reynolds has a lot of sway after the success of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ but the next couple of years alone are packed with planned movies not to mention that while his most recent film had nods to the X-Men the Marvel brass is also planning its own use of the classic characters in ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’ now filming And the company is also putting the pieces in place for a rebooted mutant team in the future Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool/Wade Wilson in 20th Century Studios/Marvel Studios' 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Photo courtesy of 20th Century Studios/Marvel Studios Ryan Reynolds’ wig chiller may melt to a puddle on his dressing-room floor the Deadpool star can enjoy a Scrambled Eggs Loaded Breakfast made his way at Tim Hortons’ every single day One less item for RR’s eccentric and oddly specific backstage rider And newspapers with all references to birds redacted A left-handed cane … think about it.

Ryan’s Maximum Effort agency crafted the spoof to celebrate the star’s branded eggs bacon (or sausage) and hash-browns menu item debuting at Hortons’ this week “There’s something really special about having the chance to collaborate with such an iconic and beloved Canadian brand,” Ryan says in campaign materials “When I visited the Tim Hortons Test Kitchen By which I mean I ate an irresponsible amount of eggs David Gianatasio is managing editor at Clio Awards Reynolds hopes swing tweaks can help shake slow startMay 3rd PITTSBURGH -- Pirates bench coach Don Kelly played nine years in the Majors, so he knows first-hand that sometimes it just takes a jam-shot or a roller with eyes to help get you going offensively. Maybe all needed to break out of his early-season slump was something like his groundout Tuesday a bouncer that he hustled down the line for But there’s something to be said about making your own luck “He was hitting earlier this week and really getting after it I think that's what separates him and others in the clubhouse -- the work they put in.” Reynolds’ first 30 games were not his best at the plate slashing .236/.294/.350 with three home runs and 14 RBIs He battled a shoulder injury for a good chunk of April which limited him to being just a designated hitter The game has a different tempo when you don’t field and it’s not as easy a transition as some might suspect His 91.5 mph average exit velocity thus far would be a career-best if he maintains it His expected stats (which measure quality of contact and whiffs) are in line with his expected stats from previous years There is reason to believe that if he just stuck with the plan his actual results would catch up to what his peripherals suggest they should be The Pirates aren’t really in a position to just wait and see on offense and getting their All-Star outfielder back to tip-top form could be a catalyst to get them going Reynolds went hitless in last weekend’s Dodgers series and then in the first game of the Cubs series So Reynolds did something he doesn’t do too often: he tinkered with his swing I don't want to go down with it,” Reynolds said But I think I got back to kind of what makes me good Just try to remember that feeling and keep it going.” The changes Reynolds made don’t appear to be drastic. He offered that when he’s batting left-handed, the difference is with his hands, and when he’s right-handed, it’s more with his load. Those tweaks to the left-handed swing appear to be working, as he took Colin Rea deep in his first at-bat Thursday. He picked up two hits swinging left-handed in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Padres If you want a sign that May will be kinder than April Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball but [Rea’s] still got a tough heater and I haven't been hitting well left-handed,” Reynolds said after his homer “Felt good with the adjustments I made and all that other stuff so I had confidence in that going into it.” Looking at that left-handed swing on the home run Thursday compared to the opening series against the Marlins the bat is set at a different angle and the hands move a little less as he gets to his load: and there really is no reason to consider doing so but if this could help him make more consistent contact and translate that contact into hits Derek Shelton often refers to Reynolds as the team’s best player Given his pair of All-Star nods and long track record of success with the Pirates it’s hard to argue any position player has been better since he arrived in 2019 Time will tell if these swing tweaks could help him get back to that form Iowa school districts must adopt policies banning cell phones during class time Kim Reynolds said will reduce distractions in the classroom Reynolds signed the legislation, House File 782 at a ceremony April 30 in the Iowa Capitol rotunda surrounded by students from the Des Moines Ankeny and Clarion-Goldfield-Dows school districts The law requires Iowa’s public K-12 school districts to implement rules limiting cell phones during classroom instructional time They can adopt stricter standards if they choose It does not require private schools and charter schools to adopt policies restricting cell phones but it directs the Iowa Department of Education to develop model policies that could be adopted by public Several school districts around the state have already enacted their on policies restricting cell phone use and Reynolds called the law a "floor" for districts to build on said the school's decision last summer to ban cell phones during class has helped him improve his grades and made students happier by getting rid of distractions "I wasn't happy that they were taking away our cell phones," he said "But now I can see that it's really improved our school." "My grandchildren weren’t very happy with me either for talking about taking the cell phones out of school," she joked Reynolds proposed the legislation in her Condition of the State address in January as a centerpiece of her legislative agenda The measure passed the Iowa Legislature with broad bipartisan support "What I'm really proud about is this bill received very strong bipartisan support," she said "And I think it's a great example of how we can come together to support simple common sense solutions that can make an overwhelmingly positive difference." School districts must have their policies in place by July 1 The Department of Education must provide model policy language to districts by May 1 The law allows parents to petition to schools to argue that their child needs a cell phone during the school day for “a legitimate reason related to the student’s physical or mental health.” It also makes exceptions for students with disabilities Schools’ policies must identify methods for students to communicate with their parent or guardian during an emergency And school districts must amend their emergency operations plans to take into account the law restricting cell phone use during classes portable media players and electronic communication equipment in its definition of “personal electronic devices” that must be restricted during class time In addition to identifying methods for students to communicate with parents during an emergency the law says school policies must specify how a student can communicate with their parents during school hours or while participating in school-sponsored activities Schools’ policies must make clear which electronic devices and technologies will be able to be used by students for instructional purposes Policies must also include the school’s protocol for securely storing students’ phones And they must address what discipline students will face for violating the policy schools across the Des Moines metro area began looking at policies meant to curb cell phone use during school hours Dallas Center-Grimes and Ankeny are among the school districts which have approved cell phone policies Des Moines' policy will take effect this fall for the 2025-26 school year Des Moines' Hoover High School launched the Hoover Mental Health Movement program in August in an effort to limit cell phone use during instructional time build a stronger school community and improve students' mental health Hoover officials say they have achieved many of their goals a huge decrease in class failures,” said Assistant Principal Robert Randazzo “… Another huge one is a major decrease in out-of-school suspensions.” Attendance is also up by about 4% compared with last year This could be due to the push to help students connect and build community “The number one factor on why students attend school is if they have a friend at school,” he said Reynolds touted the improved grades and attendance and the drop in suspensions and student discipline that Hoover has seen as a result of the policy I was told that there's been a complete culture shift at Hoover this year," she said Ottumwa Superintendent Mike McGrory said his school district has seen "truly profound" results since implementing a policy last year that bans cell phones for the entire school day He said the law will "empower" school board members and administrators to put similar policies in place "This bill will create learning environments in our schools that will allow our students to thrive by supporting their academic and social-emotional success," he said And it's really a win for the future of education."

The It Ends With Us drama has been dragging on for approximately 50,000 years now (it’s actually been eight months) And the latest one involves… possible Ryan Reynolds and Travis Kelce beef After that alleged text exchange came out, there were rumors that the complicated legal battle was affecting Taylor and Blake’s friendship there are rumors that the whole ordeal is affecting Ryan’s friendship with Taylor’s NFL star BF — fans recently noticed that Travis is no longer following the Deadpool & Wolverine actor on Instagram So, why did Travis Kelce unfollow Ryan Reynolds Here’s a breakdown of the It Ends With Us-related drama Travis hasn’t shared a statement about the unfollow, but per Page Six, it did have to do with Blake’s “messy legal nightmare.” Maybe the football player is just trying his best to stay out of the drama and the legal battle it seems like there might not be any Travis While greeting fans at Green Day’s May 1 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, Ryan was repeatedly asked about what happened between him and Travis he totally ignored the photographer asking the question Ryan didn’t even react with a facial expression — he just kept posing for selfies and signing autographs I feel like he would just shut down the rumor if there wasn’t any truth to it… but that’s just me speculating I suppose we’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out © 2025 Betches All

see Jase Reynolds shown here catching a pass against Omaha Skutt in October Nebraska linebacker commit Jase Reynolds (second from left) poses with head coach Matt Rhule linebackers coach Rob Dvoracek and defensive coordinator John Butler on a recruiting visit The concept of loyalty goes a long way for Jase Reynolds and it’s why the trust of the Nebraska football coaching staff means so much When Nebraska extended a scholarship offer to Reynolds it represented his first opportunity at the collegiate level For a player who’d long hoped to get there it was a milestone that he’d been working toward when Reynolds officially announced his commitment to the Nebraska football program playing at Nebraska had been a dream of mine; I always pictured myself throwing the bones one day,” Reynolds said “Nebraska was the first school to believe in me and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity.” 200-pound linebacker who is a three-star recruit according to Rivals has long been one of NU’s top defensive targets He was just the third in-state player in his class to receive a Husker scholarship offer after working out in front of NU coaches over the summer an opportunity which brought his skillset to the attention of Husker assistant Rob Dvoracek has steadily recruited Reynolds ever since and visited him last week to help seal the deal “Since day one he’s always treated me like family,” Reynolds said of Dvoracek Even as he picked up offers from the likes of Air Force Kansas State and Northwestern and took visits elsewhere Reynolds’ attention remained with Nebraska He visited Lincoln multiple times in the fall returned for a January junior day to meet the team’s new defensive coaches and tacked on a final unofficial visit to NU’s spring practice on April 26 “Once I got to know the guys in the linebacker room I knew without a doubt Nebraska was the right place for me,” Reynolds said A multi-sport athlete at Elkhorn North who also plays baseball and basketball Reynolds recorded 91 tackles during his junior season of high school football this fall He’s lined up all over the field defensively ranging from an outside linebacker to a playmaking safety who covers ground quickly Reynolds’ future is at linebacker in NU’s defensive scheme but that background is one reason why the Huskers see a future difference-maker in him but I’m also comfortable dropping back and matching routes when needed,” Reynolds said Reynolds’ commitment marks Nebraska’s first entry into its 2026 recruiting class in over five months as he joins quarterback Dayton Raiola defensive back CJ Bronaugh and wide receiver Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte as NU’s current pledges have dreamed of playing in a Nebraska uniform for longer than Reynolds “I’m a homegrown Nebraska kid who lives and breathes everything Huskers,” he said and I’m excited to bring that mindset to Lincoln I know how much winning means to this state and I’m committed to doing everything I can to help Nebraska win.” Nebraska's

collaborator Justin Baldoni remained a topic of discussion the actress herself maintained a relatively low profile The actress has more recently been stepping back into the spotlight and just gave a speech during the Time100 Gala and a lip reader is now making claims about a chat he and Lively had amid the event Blake Lively was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People Lively alluded to her legal battle and also said her mother experienced mistreatment by a “work acquaintance.” The star was seated next to her husband before giving her speech and lip reader Nicola Hickling claims that Reynolds made a relatively direct statement to Lively before she got up to speak: You need to understand what I am saying to you right now with the actress then proceeding to deliver her speech These supposed comments between the celebrity couple should be taken with a massive grain of salt as we can’t say with certainty what was said during their intimate conversation she’s experienced “the highest highs and the lowest lows of my life.” As it stands it remains to be seen what’ll become of Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni The same can also be said as to whether there’s any kind of tension between her and Ryan Reynolds based on their conversation at the Time 100 gala Reynolds continues to be supportive of Lively during this time Erik SwannSocial Links
