Recently, ESPN.com has started using linking software that hyperlinks the names of athletes that appear in articles to their player pages on the site. Thus, when a columnist like Pat Forde writes about Villanova basketball star Randy Foye, readers can click on Foye's name and find out his latest stats. It's a useful tool, but it has its flaws.

In Forde's latest column, he lauds Big East commish Mike Tranghese for the conference�s recent run of success. He leads the article with this line:

Mike Tranghese announced Thursday night that he's starting basketball season "with a big smile." It's more of a Jimmy Carter monster grin.

The senior backup guard for division III Mary Hardin-Baylor may be the smiley sort, but it's unlikely Forde meant to refer to him.
