Ryan Reynolds out for Hollywood ending with Wrexham

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:08:41 GMT

WREXHAM, Wales (AP) — Spoiler alert! Season 2 of “Welcome to Wrexham” is set to get the Hollywood ending the first one failed to deliver.This being Wrexham, however, a last-minute plot twist isn’t out of the question.It’s hard to imagine that even the Welsh soccer team’s A-list owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, could have anticipated the edge-of-your-seat, unscripted spectacle created by this unlikely union.“That was the most dramatic thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” a breathless Reynolds said after the 3-2 win over Notts County that put Wrexham on the brink of promotion from the National League, five steps below the Premier League. “I will never be the same again.”When Tinseltown met a former mining town in Wales, sparks flew. And even if Reynolds and McElhenney recognized the entertainment value of a fly-on-the-wall documentary about a historic but down-on-its-luck soccer team run by two actors learning the ropes of sports club ownership, the end product has p...

(TMX) – Four chimpanzees once kept at a roadside zoo operated by a former public official convicted of fraud have been reunited at a sanctuary in Florida.The Ohio Department of Agriculture granted custody to the Save the Chimps sanctuary, and April, Anna, Cash, and Lucy made the journey to Florida.

They will remain in quarantine for two months before integrating into one of the sanctuary’s 12 chimp islands.The “very sweet” chimps range in age from 13 to 26, and are adjusting well to their new surroundings, the sanctuary said.“These are extremely intelligent chimpanzees who deserve the chance to explore a larger world,” said Save the Chimps’ Director of Chimpanzee Behavior and Care, Dr. Andrew Halloran. “We look forward to seeing them thrive on a vast...

(CNN) — When Klint Ludwig learned his grandfather, a White homeowner in Kansas City, had shot a Black teenager who rang his doorbell, Ludwig was repulsed — but not entirely surprised.“The warning signs were there. I wasn’t shocked when I heard the news,” Ludwig told CNN on Thursday. “I believe he held — holds — racist tendencies and beliefs.”But Ludwig’s older brother, Daniel, reportedly disputed the notion that race played a role when their grandfather, 84-year-old Andrew Lester, shot 16-year-old Ralph Yarl in front of his door on April 13.Lester, who was initially detained but then released hours after the shooting, has now been charged with two felonies.On Wednesday, Lester pleaded not guilty to the charges of assault in the first degree and armed criminal action.

Washington state officially abolishes death penalty

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:08:41 GMT

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — Washington state has officially abolished the death penalty.Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 5087 on Friday, which removes state laws that Washington’s Supreme Court determined are invalid or unconstitutional. The state’s high court struck down the death penalty in 2018, but the law remained on the books.“It’s official. The death penalty is no longer in state law,” Inslee said on Twitter after the signing. He also thanked legislators and other leaders who were part of the decade-long effort to end the practice, including Attorney General Bob Ferguson.In 2014, Inslee issued a moratorium on the death penalty. In 2018, Washington’s Supreme Court unanimously struck down the death penalty, calling it arbitrary and racially biased.A statistical analysis by University of Washington sociologists, cited by the judges, showed that juries were about four times more likely to sentence Black defendants to death.“To the extent that race distinguishes the case...

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley will sign restricted free agent tender on Monday

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:08:41 GMT

The Ravens and their backup quarterback have a deal.Tyler Huntley will sign his restricted free agent tender on Monday, a source with direct knowledge of the agreement confirmed to The Baltimore Sun. The Ravens had placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on Huntley last month, which meant any team could have signed him to an offer sheet, and if Baltimore didn’t match, it wouldn’t get any compensation in return.The 25-year-old will earn $2.627 million for the 2023 season before becoming a free agent.The Ravens’ starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson, has yet to sign his $32.4 million nonexclusive franchise tag. Should he sign an offer sheet with another team, the Ravens can match it or choose to let the 2019 NFL Most Valuable Player walk in exchange for two first-round draft picks.While the situation with Jackson remains unresolved, bringing back Huntley for what will be his fourth season in Baltimore provides at least some stability at the position.
