Say it ain't so

Early this morning came a wire report out of Columbus, Ohio-- two Ohio State players, a starting cornerback and a reserve cornerback, were being suspended for the national championship game against LSU.

A TV station and The Columbus Dispatch were cited as the story's source.

It turns out only a backup was suspended.

So what looked like a pretty big story turns out to be not-so-big.

But what in the name of Kirk Herbstreit is going on with some media outlets these days. Has the chase to get it first outweighed the priority of getting it right?
