Truth In Headline Editing

NP: Chicago Fire vs. Toronto FC

Obviously, armed robbery isn't funny, but I find some humor in the fact that the evolution of this story changed from "Ex-Bulls star robbed at gunpoint" to "Ex-Bulls standout robbed at gunpoint."

Watching these sorts of edits as a story emerges is an interesting sidelight of reading the Tribune via RSS.
