No More Gambling Unit

They got rid of all the gambling in Chicago. It's true. The boss said so:

• The I-Team has learned that the Chicago Police Department's renowned gambling unit has been disbanded. It's a decision that some call a bad bet.

  Here we are at the height of the football wagering season with the Bears on a roll and the Chicago Police Department has given up on its famed gambling unit.

  The end of the line for the storied gambling squad came in a shake-up of the vice control unit six months ago. But only when the I-Team started asking questions was it revealed to the public.

• "Basically what it was is I would like to refer to it as being hybridized," said Brown.

A master of the spoken word, Ernie is.

We are glad that there is no more gambling here in Chicago. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to buy some squares for this weekend.
