Sure,Watch Carnal Cravings (2006) everyone loves Ted Lasso, the wholesome Jason Sudeikis-led comedy on Apple TV+. But Ryan Reynolds is also widely beloved. What happens when these two titanic crowd-pleasers butt heads?
The most adorable threat you ever did see, obviously.
Reynolds took to Twitter on Saturday morning with a letter penned "from the desk of RR McReynolds." The letter pointedly calls out a wisecrack in Lasso's fifth episode directed at Reynolds and It's Always Sunnyco-creator Rob McElhenney (who also co-created the Apple TV+ hit, Mythic Quest). A quick history lesson is in order before we go further, though.
"RR McReynolds" is the name of the company under which Reynolds and McElhenney together co-own the Welsh football club, Wrexham AFC. The European football-loving Hollywood stars took ownership of the team earlier in 2021 and committed to investing in its success (aka it wasn't a joke). Wrexham's journey under new ownership will soon be the subject of an FX docuseries.
It was a high-profile business move, is what I'm saying. So in the fifth episode of Lasso's second season, when AFC Richmond director of communications Leslie Higgins (Jeremy Swift) pondered RR's commitment to the team, it was a gauntlet, thrown.
"I can't tell if them buying the club is a joke or not," Higgins said at one point in reference to the two "Hollywood magnates." The joke didn't go any further than that, but it didn't have to. Questioning the new owners' commitment is apparently a sore spot for Reynolds.

"While we hold the incomparable Jeremy Swift in no ill regard and are honored to be mentioned on the platform that's brought us high-quality programming ranging from Mythic Questseason one to Mythic Questseason two, we must insist that you cease and desist from the casting of any doubt regarding our commitment to the club, the fans, and the entire Wrexham community," the letter reads.
Reynolds, always a reasonable guy, does have a solution that he thinks will fix the whole situation. He writes: "To avoid legal action please send 2 LARGE boxes of Ted Lasso's biscuits to [Wrexham's home stadium] the Racecourse Ground."

An official recipe does exist, but Reynolds is probably too busy getting serious about managing a football club these days to summon up some magic in the kitchen.
Obviously this legal threat lacks teeth, but how does anyone in their right mind threaten to sue the saintly Ted Lasso? Clearly it's all just a ploy to charge up Wrexham AFC with some truly divine homemade shortbread biscuits.
