It’s the morning after. Maybe you’re hungover. Maybe you’re feeling fresh. Or maybe you’re full of regret after attending the Draft only to realize you just stand around the whole time waiting for names to be called off index cards. Regardless of how you feel, it’s time for the annual tradition of handing out draft grades. Now, I’m sure most of you aren’t even reading this blurb at the beginning of the column, opting solely to check the grade of your favorite team, so frankly, I’m not even sure why I’m still typing anything. So let’s just get to the grades. Buffalo Bills – It’s too early to g ..read more

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Korked Bats (@korkedbats) Oh boy. The Canucks done and messed up. They let the Preds get hot. You’re not supposed to do that. Look, am I over reacting to one win in a playoff series? Probably. But this is the first playoff win the Preds have seen since 2021, so you know I’m going to enjoy it. Especially with the series returning to the 615. That Bridgestone barn better be creating more hostility than Morgan Wallen on Lower Broad. (Let the record state: This is NOT me condoning throwing patio furniture.) Are the Preds back? People are asking. The ..read more

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Korked Bats (@korkedbats) We put a poll out asking if we should bring our reaction videos (that we make for every bit of breaking Titans news) to the ice and break down the Preds first playoff trip since 2022, and well, we got enough of a vote for yes to do them. So here we are. And here the Preds are losing the first game of the series. Winnable game? Sure. Frutrating too? Definitely. Can the Preds still win this series? People are asking. I do know one thing however: do NOT let the Preds get hot! The post Let’s Do That Hockey! Instant Reacti ..read more

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
