Thanks for the tip, I will autoignore WashPost Olympic articles.

Almost all articles on high school and small-time college sports have been auto-written for some years now. For that matter, so are most short stock/business stories.

They ought to do okay - it's just sports scores which are pretty cut and dried, not like news which you have to make up. hhhh
