A few weeks back, Rambling weighed in on the search for the new James Bond, throwing cold water on rumors that Aaron Taylor-Johnson had screen-tested for the part. This week, we’re adding another little-known, hyphenated, triple-named Brit to the competition. And this one might have screen-tested for real.

ISAIAH BOND AND QUINSHON JUDKINS Two prominent NFL rookies saw their paths to the league become significantly clearer Thursday with clearance from charges in two separate cases. Undrafted free agent wide receiver Isaiah Bond was no-billed and no longer faces criminal charges after he turned himself in earlier this year on an outstanding sexual assault warrant.

For the screening, daddy Brosnan (sorry) wore a cream corduroy blazer with patch pockets (casual tailoring?!) with a tonal cream shirt, black silk pindot tie, co-ordinating pocket square and simple straight leg suit trousers. On his wrist, a vintage 1945 Girard-Perregaux that couldn’t be further from the XL Omegas he wore as the secret agent.

Nearly a year since a Kentucky judge was gunned down in his courthouse chambers, the issue of whether bond is justified for the former sheriff charged in the killing remains unsettled as he awaits trial.

Patrick Rosemond, 38, appeared in court after being extradited from Georgia on assault charges, with prosecutors saying he was "the instigator" in the attack.

The context is that a September cut of 0.25% is still the favored expectation among investors. The CME Fed Funds futures market is still showing a 90%-plus chance of a 0.25% cut. And stock investors seem bullish on the notion that the Fed is poised to deliver a new dose of cheaper money in September.

A speedster who ran a 4.39 in the 40 at the Combine, Bond should be signed by Sunday and in uniform when the Browns take the field again on Tuesday. He was projected to be a third-round pick by some experts, including The Athletic’s Dane Brugler.

A Dane County judge on Friday ruled to increase the cash bond for a woman charged in a wrong-way crash that killed two teens last month.
