As of late, I feel like my existential dread meter has been quite low. Fear of societal collapse truly is the spice of life. Can you really enjoy a good time without, what my therapist calls, a “slighty irrational” fear of the world ending? ‘Civil War’, while slightly being able to fill that void for me, wasn’t actually what I was expected. In some ways that’s a good and in other ways it’s not. Alex Garland’s ‘Civil War’ is his follow up to 2022’s mind-boggling, squirm-in-your-seat, gloom-fest ‘Men’. Once again, Garland showcases his mastery of making his audiences uncomfortable for 90 minute ..read more

Let’s breakdown this year’s NFL head coaches photo (a thread) pic.twitter.com/qfGdn6IFyh — Korked Bats (@korkedbats) March 25, 2024 It’s an annual tradition, a tale as old as time. A bunch of middle-aged dudes in poor fashion set up around some foldable patio chairs and take one photo that comes across almost as awkward as it probably was to be there in person. Each year, we like to take this photo and break it down with some observations we make. Here is that breakdown… How did event staff security sneak into this pic?! pic.twitter.com/asbn2K0kp6 — Korked Bats (@korkedbats) March 25, 20 ..read more

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Korked Bats (@korkedbats) The Titans don’t stop improving, whether you’re at a Dan + Shay concert or not. While I was boppin’ along to Tequila at the United Center, Ran Carthon is putting in his 10,000 hours behind his desk solidifying a trade for one of the best cornerbacks in the sport. Ummmm…. hell yes. Above you’ll see my immediate reaction, but having some time to gnaw on this deal a little more, I love it all that much more. And all for just a 2025 third-rounder??? Did the Titans fleece the World Champs? People are asking. Many of my Chi ..read more

Patrick Mahomes is nearly flawless. Emphasis on nearly. Is it sacrilege to say anything negative about the NFL’s newly donned GOAT? Sure. But we have to point this out. It’s a gaping flaw and someone needs to bring it up. In fact, this flaw is so big, it has us wondering if it even really needs to be that big. This flaw isn’t that big on anyone else. So why does he need this flaw to be that big? It’s almost awkward how big this flaw is. Anyway, watch the video above to see us talk about this massive flaw. The post We’ve Done It! We’ve Found The ONLY Flaw In Patrick Mahomes’ Game… Not To Brag ..read more

If you remember last week, after the AFC Championship, we set out to find the random guy in the Titans jersey at the Chiefs-Ravens AFC Championship. Well, it took some hunting. And some help. But we finally found the guy… and sat him down to ask the most pressing questions. Step aside, 30 for 30. Korked Bats is here with the new greatest sports docuseries. My parents must be so proud my journalism degree is finally paying off. The post We Found That Guy In The Titans Jersey From The AFC Championship appeared first on Korked Bats ..read more

Shoutout to this guy. Our favorite fan. pic.twitter.com/m2F67pi5uK — Korked Bats (@korkedbats) January 28, 2024 Let me start this by saying I am completely against wearing jerseys of a team to a games they’re not playing in. To me, it’s an incredibly douchey move. You don’t need to show your allegiance to a team who’s not even playing in the game you’re at. It’s like rocking a Great Gatsby costume to an 80s party. Just wear regular clothes if you’re not a fan of either team. Can you sense the however coming? Because here it comes… However… The exception to the rule is always wearing a Derri ..read more

“Fuller! easy on the Pepsi!” pic.twitter.com/8fp4aMkOzm — Austin Huff (@AustinHuff) January 25, 2024 Fuller! Easy on the Pepsi! Look, there was a lot of good to take away from Brian Callahan’s introductory press conference today with the Tennessee Titans. He had good answers for every question, he referenced analytics, getting ideas from players, the importance of having home field advantage, everything. But it was all a moot point for me because I couldn’t stop focusing on the fact that his son is Kieren Culkin from 30 years ago. It’s not even up for debate. Brian Callahan’s son sleeps i ..read more

It’s authenticity, not bragging, you guys. The post Titans Hire Brian Callahan as Head Coach, reaction appeared first on Korked Bats ..read more
