This week we speak to author Howard Bryant about his recent column on the state of this country as well as his new book on the great Rickey Henderson. We talk about the Supreme Court, where the country is headed, and why Rickey Henderson continues to be a captivating figure, decades after his retirement.

We also have Choice Words about developments on the Brittney Griner case in Russia and a Just Stand Up award to Megan Rapinoe, who seems to be a perennial winner of this award. All that and more on this episode of the Edge of Sports podcast!
