Who will run the show?

Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week your hosts dive into election season with a preview of four of this November’s most consequential gubernatorial races. Tune in for analysis, predictions, big-picture ramifications and much more on the Pennsylvania race between moderate Dem Josh Shapiro and far-right Trumpophant Doug Mastriano; the Arizona contest pitting Katie Hobbs against anti-Semitic election skeptic Kari Lake; and finally a pair of rematches from 2018, first Georgia’s showdown featuring incumbent Republican Brian Kemp and the widely celebrated yet seemingly overmatched Democrat Stacey Abrams and our native Connecticut, where Bob Stefanowski again challenges Collective favorite Ned Lamont. But first, a trilogy of rants, led off with Andrew’s reflections on the career ups and ills of a once-mulleted Big 12 head coach on the anniversary of his most (in)famous turn; Ed details the laughable and cliched criteria outlined by the NCAA in an actual job posting for their next President; and finally Zak places Brett Favre and a mostly silent media on blast for a lack of coverage of his prominent role in a Mississippi welfare fraud scandal.
