Good morning and welcome to another Saturday without Buckeye football. Let's proceed with the calmness of this stoic Jimmy John's worker .

The savvy veteran play is handing the robber the cash drawer. Puts fingerprints all over it, in case nobody in the area knows the guy whose life devolved to the point he decided robbing a sandwich shop for ~$68 was a power play.

CORPORATION PLACES BET. We'll never know where Gareon Conley would have gotten drafted without sexual assault allegations hanging over his head.
Though Conley has yet to be charged, he's by no means vindicated yet. He'll meet with Cleveland police Monday to give DNA and a statement.
In the meantime, the Raiders feel they did their homework. Conley even took a polygraph tests minutes before the Browns went on the clock in Philadelphia.
From mmqb.si.com:
It turns out that Ravens officials didn’t decide to try to administer the polygraph to Conley until midday Thursday. The team found a firm in northeast Ohio, PolyTech Associates, to conduct the test, which was administered late Thursday afternoon to Conley, who is from Massilon, Ohio. On Thursday evening, this email was sent to teams in the league, through an agent for Conley, from William D. Evans, an attorney who is listed on the PolyTech masthead:
“I just completed the polygraph examination of Mr. Conley; a formal report will follow. Regarding the sexual assault allegations stemming from the reported incident of 4-8/9-17 at the Westin in Cleveland, it is my opinion he did not commit the sexual assault as alleged, thus is telling you the truth in his version of fact.’’
Polygraph tests are not universally accepted in the scientific or legal community in determining guilt or innocence. It’s uncertain how much, or whether, the test by Conley played a role in the Raiders’ decision.
Us plebes will just have to wait to see how his meeting with investigators goes this weekend. I don't care what Raiders leadership says, with that much money on the line there's no way they're not sweating it at least a little bit. My only hope is the truth comes out and justice is rendered. Blazing hot take, I know.
EVEN A BLOGGER RECOGNIZES THIS STYLE. Malik Hooker is my favorite Ohio State football player who is also not an indestructible King and national champion. I get that he's not a perfect player—surprise, the guy who only played five years of organized football has some flaws—but not even Hooker's most fervent naysayers can deny the man's impeccable flair.
Get a load of this jacket he rocked on draft night:

The only thing I don't like about this jacket is it makes me painfully aware I'll never possess the swagger needed to commandeer a silky artifact of that historical pedigree.
HARBAUGH! Jim Harbaugh studied abroad for one week and now he's a Renaissance man:

That... wasn't bad, actually? I don't know. I can't sing or identify pitch. My interns are reviewing my social media policy. I'm sorry.
And here's another video nobody asked for: Harbaugh, at a gladiator camp, reciting Maximus Meridius's final monologue from Gladiator:

Meanwhile, back in Old Columbus Town...
THOSE WMDs. A graveyard awaits below North Tower... Florist steals plants from cemetery... Secrets of an 80-year-old model... The genesis of the gang... Outfitters spurn Lonzo Ball.
