Who is James Adducci, the $1.2 million winner who bet on Tiger Woods?

Kareem Hunt assault incident renews scrutiny on the Cleveland Police Department
A person was arrested at a hotel and luxury apartment building in Cleveland on the night Kareem Hunt was caught on surveillance video assaulting a woman. But it wasn’t the former Kansas City Chiefs running back. Broke news that police never obtained video, but did arrest a bystander.

Final in-depth interview of Paul Newman
I worked with his representatives for weeks to get a one-on-one – all while covering the 2006 Indy 500.

I turned the story around that weekend for Monday’s paper. It was the last lengthy interview Newman conducted before he died in 2008.
