Bradley continued trying to bust through lingering effects of an illness that hospitalized him this weekend. "I feel a little better," Bradley said. "I still feel a little drained.

I will prevent and intervene there to keep Avery from jeopardizing himself and making sure he doesn't make a bad decision."
