You can go just about anywhere on the World Wide Web to receive fantasy football advice for who you should start every week. ESPN, Yahoo, Better Homes and Gardens, literally anywhere! However, there is only one place on the World Wide Web where you can go to receive fantasy football advice of who you SHOULD NOT start every week. And that place is KorkedBats.com. You’re welcome.

Week 10

We took a week off last week. Partly because every fantasy team (and fantasy guru) needs a BYE week, but also partly because I got COVID. And it sucked. And it knocked me out hard. But look, those are just excuses. We have a fantasy league for you to win and or finish 4th or lower in – because again, let’s be real, if you’re getting your fantasy football advice from a comedic sports blog, more so a weekly blog called Who NOT To Start, then you’re probably not doing great in your fantasy league. But enough chit-chat, let’s get to it.

This week you should NOT start literally any golfer. I know, I know. It’s very tempting, especially with The Masters on today. But I can almost assure you your fantasy football league does not account for golfers. No matter how good they are. Plus, I’ve never played fantasy golf, but I imagine it’s like regular golf where the lowest score wins. And speaking from experience, I can assure you the lowest score doesn’t win in fantasy football.

So bench your Tiger’s, bench your Justin Thomas’s, bench your Brooks Koepka’s, bench that one golfer who’s caddy looks like the caddy from Happy Gilmore.

If you don’t want to heed this advice, and you’re deadset on starting a golfer on your fantasy football team, then start either Bryson DeChambeau or Tiger. They’ll be sure to get you high scores.

This week, we get into some of the critically acclaimed reviews the show is already receiving before then breaking down The Match on TNT from this past weekend. We talk about what sports we’d like to see them compete in next, whether or not this loss tarnishes Brady’s legacy, and what it proper pronunciation of GIF?

Also, I’m sure you’ve heard, but Eli Manning joined Twitter and we can’t think of a worse Manning (or athlete) to have on social media.

And the show can’t end without us adding things to The List. A.D. has propane tanks (kinda), Grit adds angry people on Twitter, and I add Cap’n Crunch’s Oops All Berries!

We had fun making it. We hope you have just as much fun listening to it.

The post The Junk Drawer: Does Brady’s Loss In The Match Tarnish His Legacy? And The Lamest Manning Joined Twitter appeared first on Korked Bats.

Get used that beautiful face because yesterday we got our first taste of sports starting to return. And don’t start with, “What about Bundesliga? It came back a couple weeks ago!” Look, I don’t care how much you talk about Bolognese, I’m never going to watch Bangladesh. And yeah, the KBO is going on right now. Our NC Dinos are in first by 3.0 games. Not to brag. But those games are on in the middle of the night. So to me, The Match was the first bit of sports we’ve had since – what feels like – the Clinton administration.

This was actually The Match 2, adding it to the list of The Godfather 2, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight, (hot take) Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Christmas Vacation as a sequel that was better than its original.

Let’s rehash some of the best moments…

The Trash Talk

And when I say trash talk, I really mean just jokes at Tom Brady’s expense, because he was so bad. Sure, I can’t imagine it’s easy to play golf in the rain, on national TV, in front of two of the greatest golfers ever and your biggest football rival. But it didn’t seem to phase anyone else.

The trash talk started light during warmups with Peyton taking a few jabs at Brady.

Then Tiger had his fun with Brady.

Even Sean Payton got in on it from the comfort of his covid-filled home.

Although, I will say, Brady was able to fight back a bit with his savage “they haven’t been good since you left” blast.

For the record, Tennessee literally won a national championship the year after Peyton left. But the point still stands. Manning should’ve hit him back with, “Michigan hasn’t beaten Ohio State since you left.”

But the best line of the day actually came from the mouth of Justin Thomas.

Brady Split His Pants

Brady leaves New England and everything begins to come undone. Starting with his pants. Honestly, this one moment made the entire 3+ hours all worth it. Anything I can watch that makes Tom Brady look like a total doofus, I’ll do it. Well, anything other than Tom vs. Time.

I always thought the joke “Why did the golfer bring two pairs of pants? In case he got a hole in one” was just a joke. But Brady legitimately brought it to life. Then again, given his social media humor, that’s not really a shock. Frankly, I’m surprised he didn’t do it on purpose just to post that joke.

This obviously led Brady to change pants. But instead of changing into his own, he apparently borrowed a pair from Michael Jordan.

Even M.C. Hammer thinks those pants are too baggy. With all the wind, I’m surprised he didn’t blow away.

Brady’s Incredible Shot

This was like the one good thing he did all day. Let’s move on.

Tiger Woods’ Calves

I’m not going to lie. I’m pretty sure Sunday afternoon was the first time I’ve ever seen Tiger Woods’ calves. It kinda felt like seeing your high school principal out in the wild for the first time. You had no idea that person even owned a pair of shorts because you’ve only ever seen them in pants. You just never expected to see their legs. But here we are, I guess.

Was I impressed with Tiger’s calves? Hell no. Tiger’s legs are smaller than Johnny Bravo’s.

Do I respect the decision? Of course. Tiger rocking shorts showed he was there for casual vibes only. If he would’ve worn pants – especially with his Sunday red – I would’ve expected for him to literally murder someone on the course. He would’ve been like the guy who shows up to hoop at the local gym wearing sweatbands. Really, dude? This is just a pick up game.

Although, I will say. Next time Tiger opts for shorts, he should wear actual shorts and not capri pants.

Does This Count As A Major Win For Tiger?

It should.

What do you think is harder: surviving Amen Corner at Augusta or overcoming this first tee shot from Peyton?

That was a rhetorical question.

Peyton Manning Is… Really Good At Golf?!

Look, I’m not naive to think that anyone playing with and receiving coaching from Tiger isn’t going to be instantly made better, but Pey-pey actually looked solid out there. He made some long puts, hit some great approach shots, and really held his own. Then again, he is known for his gigantic fore-head.

I’m sorry. That was dumb. I’ll take a penalty stroke for that.

It also helped that Brady kinda sucked. He couldn’t putt. He couldn’t chip. And he produced worse drives than his final one in New England. You know the one.

The Rain

The Match felt a lot like that climactic scene from The Fan, based solely on the fact that it was pouring down rain and probably should’ve been called, but inexplicably wasn’t.

Really the only thing The Match was missing was Robert DeNiro posing as one of the golf officials obsessed with showing people his knife.

The one day we try and bring back actual sports, Mother Nature hits us with enough rain to make Seattle feel like the Sahara. But look, Mama Natch, we’re starving for sports, and you weren’t about to stop this from happening. And TNT wasn’t about to let you.

Plus, it kinda made everything look more awesome.

And romantic.

Well, this was really nice, sports. We should do it again sometime. Seriously. I’m actually free all summer. Give me a call. I mean it. Let’s do this again. Please? Call me? Want to make sure you have my correct number? No, it hasn’t changed, I just… Let’s just please get together again really soon. Please.

Please.

After the Oklahoma City Thunder fell behind 3-2 in their series against the Memphis Grizzlies, The Oklahoman newspaper printed the headline “Mr. Unreliable” with a picture of soon-to-be NBA MVP Kevin Durant. Well, Durant then went on to lead the Thunder to two-straight wins and the series victory behind two fantastic performances, proving he was anything but unreliable.

Although, that’s not the first time The Oklahoman was wrong with one of their headlines. We went back in the archives to find other times The Oklahoman printed headlines that turned out to be wrong.
