So much for my NTAP play. Stopped out with a loss.

OT: I see another Olympics controversy. The Korean skater stripped of the gold causing an uproar in "short-track" speedskating. What a joke this sport is.
As near as I can tell, "Long-track" speed skating is the only sport in the winter olympics in which a world record can be established. Everything else is either judged or course-specific (nordic, luge and downhill skiing).
Not that I'm entirely anti-Olympics. I find myself fascinated with curling. Last night I watched the replay of USA-Switzerland on MSNBC. I am not quite up to speed on the rules, but basically the sport is a combination of billiards and bowling. Like the latter two, it doesn't particularly take any athletic talent to play.
I cannot think of any other olympic sports which requires less fitness.
