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.
As he seeks a second term, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont is leading the race against Republican challenger Bob Stefanowski. That's according to a new Quinnipiac University poll, which finds Lamont ahead 57-to-40 percent among likely voters. The poll finds just 15 percent of voters might change their minds before November's election. Fellow Democrat Richard Blumenthal, the incumbent, is leading the race for U.S. Senate by the same margin. For analysis we speak with poll director Doug Schwartz.

This is Stefanowski's second time running against Ned Lamont, after losing to the incumbent in 2018 by 3% points or around 40,000 votes. The former business executive has focused his platform on making Connecticut more affordable and safer; however in recent weeks, he has beginning to refine other campaign points. Later today he plans to unveil a "Parental Bill of Rights." How much is this modeled off of the controversial Florida and Texas bills by the same name?

Connecticut's Republican primary voters heeded former President Donald Trump's call to nominate Leora Levy to run for U.S. Senate, and rejected their party's convention-endorsed candidate, former house minority leader Themis Klarides. In the aftermath of that vote, CT GOP Chairman Ben Proto's response to questions about Trump's influence on the GOP's identity was to ignore them, repeatedly. Proto declined to acknowledge even the slightest complication of a win that puts Levy on the same ticket with a gubernatorial nominee, Bob Stefanowski, who has labored to avoid any discussion of the former president. CT MIrror's capitol bureau chief Mark Pazniokas spoke to host Ebong Udoma about what Levy's win means for her party.

Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week your hosts examine WNBA star Brittney Griner's ongoing detention in Russia following a dubious arrest on drug charges earlier this year. Griner is one of the faces of the WNBA: a perennial all-league performer, Olympic gold medalist and historic collegiate standout at Baylor. As is the case for many of her peers, financial inequities force Griner to ply her trade overseas during the WNBA offseason. When she arrived in Russia on February 17 to rejoin her team, UMMC Ekaterinburg of the Russian Premier League, Griner was detained on charges of possessing vaporizer cartridges containing weed oil. Three months later, Griner remains in detention awaiting trial. Your panel seek to unpack and reckon with the complicated circumstances of her situation. Griner's unique position as an American celebrity in Russia amidst aggressive Western sanctions resulting from the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and her probable characterization as a hostage; the integrity of a Russian media report claiming a potential exchange of Griner for a high profile imprisoned arms dealer; the efficacy of the American response: that of the public, the State Department and the White House; and expectations for resolution flesh out the conversation. While our collective hope is that of a swift return home for Brittney Griner, the forecast is not quite so optimistic. But first a rant or three, as Zak vets CT gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski's summit with Pete Ricketts and the conflicting virtue signaling of the GOP hopeful's abortion position; Ed details how disaster can result from the mundane with a look at a seemingly innocuous security fraud case where two far-right judges rendered a decision calling into question government's right to enforce its own regulations; finally Andrew recaps the week in golf outside the ropes, where Jack Nicklaus met cancel culture and golf course architecture met MAGA Twitter-outrage.
