13. Vetoed!

This week on the Bill Bradley Collective, your noble hosts are granted the opportunity to wield the kind of power normally reserved for officers of state: the power of the veto. Join your panel as they enter their respective chambers to argue the merits of six individual vetoes of legislation impacting the world of sports and in one case our very Constitution. The rules are simple. Each host presents two vetoes, and whether the veto goes forth rests in the hands of his two cohorts. Just as two-thirds votes in the House and Senate override presidential vetoes, the presenting host needs one of his cadre to accord. The rants get it all going, where Zak lays out the ghastly details of our latest legislative impasse while finding time to raise a toast to Stannard, Vermont’s favorite adopted son; Ed details the sordid effort to nominate another “son,” this one the failed progeny of the legal ace heading Donald Trump’s crack outfit, to the board of the Holocaust Memorial Museum; Andrew raises an issue with Tiger Woods’ decision to unveil his 11-year-old son’s golf game to a national television audience; finally super-producer and resident cornhusker Brandon cameos with some thoughts on the latest sports franchise to officially reconsider a controversial name and mascot.
