The feds are alleging that Billups was used to attract people to play in rigged poker games, encouraging 'fish' to play in high-profile games with the allure of playing with celebrities like Billups.

Scripps is all about doing news on the cheap. The anchorless community news format was Exhibit A. The lack of proofreading is Exhibit B.

A story on Fox17 (Julie Dunmire, your local Kalamazoo area reporter!) this morning was about a high school football player that signed to attend University of Minnesota...

Air it once / twice? Sure.
