is a wonderful thing, one of those Internet creations no one could have forseen and it’s now hard to imagine being without. But its bios of athletes often include some subtle weirdness.

Dan Kreider’s is only eight sentences long, but one of those is: “Kreider attended the University of New Hampshire and was an A student and letterman in football.”

You’d think it would go without saying that an NFL player lettered in college, but, hey, congrats, Dan.

Here’s another one: “[Billy] Paultz played organized basketball at River Dell Regional High School in Bergen County, New Jersey.”

The lackĀ of detail on Billy’s teenage pickup games is really glaring here.

Here’s the line that may become this blog’s credo: “Although Paultz moved with a bulky stiffness, he was a very heady player.”

That’s what she said.
