Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week your hosts put on their professorial hats with a critical assessment of President Joseph R. Biden’s freshman year at White House University. That’s right, letter grades from the Collective faculty for long-time Senator, two-term Vice President, and incumbent frosh President Biden as we enter the second year of his administration. Biden inherited a nation embroiled in a pandemic and fresh off the heels of the most divisive and polarizing figure the White House has ever hosted. Curve or no curve, what say we on Biden: immigration, foreign policy, COVID and more. Do underwhelming returns rest at the feet of perhaps Delaware’s greatest son or at those of his disgraced yet still viable and widely visible predecessor? Father and son go hard at one another and it is great. But first, there will be rants, as Ed examines the latest premature playoff departure of presumptive MVP and noted COVID truther Aaron Rodgers through the lens of yet another self-serving media exit interview; Zak juxtaposes Ed’s QB critique with a profile in acclaim of Collective favorite and all-around righteous dude Ryan Fitzpatrick; and finally Andrew calls foul on retired basketball great John Stockton for disgracing his alma mater by way of failure to comply with Gonzaga’s indoor mask mandate.
