4. The 1st Presidential Debate (finally)

This week on the Bill Bradley Collective, the hosts break down the first Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The virtually nonexistent good, largely bad and often ugly highlights of this spectacle are the focus of a conversation that attempts to gauge the respective performance of each candidate, as well as moderator Chris Wallace. Before we assess the debate, Zak outlines how to expect the Senate to proceed with regard to Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, in light of the White House COVID outbreak that enveloped not only Trump but a considerable swath of GOP leadership including three senators. But first come the rants, where Zak salutes Ed’s esteemed prior tenure as Subway franchise baker in the wake of a curious Irish court ruling, Ed condemns the toxic fallacy of the “warrior” mentality with a special nod to the straw man heading the New York Jets and Andrew considers the NFL’s head-scratching decisions following the league’s first collection of positive COVID tests.
