[edit] sports teams

how are the sports teams he's a fan of at all relevant? This bio sounds like a book jacket copy/paste (not to say that it is, it just sounds like it) --jacobolus (t) 19:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

There's not. I removed them. --MichaelZimmer (talk) 19:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
as a person whose read a good deal about the personality of other academics, I can say that sometimes it is interesting to hear what sports teams they are a fan of, especially if they are a real fanatic. --Buridan 23:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Unless such minutiae somehow impacts their scholarship, I see little value in noting it. There's a slope here, and I, for one, don't want to slide down it. --MichaelZimmer (talk) 23:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
