Thanks & No Thanks

Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where it is Thanksgiving week and in observance your hosts share what they are thankful and not thankful for as we begin to wind down season five. Some of the highlights include an opus on the twin brothers patrolling the front court in Kingston, R.I.; reconciling another lost Jets season with some hope reserved for next year’s draft possibilities; and a critique of the continuing trend of star fighters retaining their fathers as chief seconds, often to the detriment of career prospects. It is a cognitive Thanksgiving spread with all the Collective trimmings, and we get it started with rants, as Zak considers the latest iteration of golf’s The Match and the head-scratching decision to play two-thirds of a round; Ed lambastes the Mount Rushmore of GOP treachery and their influence over the party’s rhetoric; finally Andrew examines the big picture of coach Lincoln Riley’s move from Oklahoma for the sunnier and greener($$$) pastures of USC.
