- Yaphe's tenure as a sports editor for NAQT has revealed his unorthodox preference for clues on statlines over off-the-court anecdotes; this stance was jokingly summarized by Fred Morlan as "crossing a single line through the tiger woods divorce incident and replacing it with a clue about his third round score at the 2006 deutsche bank championship."[1]
- Yaphe is described as a "critic" on the Poetry Foundation and Wikipedia articles for poet John Koethe,[2][3] which both cite a 2001 article Yaphe wrote for student-run magazine Chicago Review.[4]
