Welcome to Aguascalientes. After successfully jumpstarting one struggling Welsh soccer club, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are hoping for much of the same with a beloved Mexican franchise. The Deadpool star and Always Sunny co-creator purchased a stake in Club Necaxa, the century-old Mexican soccer team that already boasts Eva Longoria as one of its owners. Variety reports that investors hope bringing the duo into the fold will help grow the club’s profile in international play. Reynolds and McElhenney’s process of creating a Cinderella story out of a team that was “mismanaged to the point of near collapse” was widely documented on FX’s Emmy-winning docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, the third season of which is set to premiere this week.
Although Peacock is the home to critically-acclaimed series like Poker Face, the streamer is also capitalizing on the demand for live sports. Per The Hollywood Reporter, new and existing Peacock customers can expect to see a $2 per month increase for its Premium & Premium Plus subscriptions ahead of the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris. This will be the NBCUniversal streamer’s second price hike in two years in an attempt to herd viewers to a centralized location for watching all things swimming and gymnastics this summer.
Thankfully, there’s no price-gouging on the timeline, and the hilarious tweets are free for everyone. Today’s funniest ones include those about the otter who could give Stevie Wonder a run for his money, a seagull with some chompers and a dog who almost certainly knows all the tea.
