Has SELECT an INSERT clause?

I know the form

Select * into new_table from old_table

statement. Bur recently I found 2 posts here and here which use it like

SELECT * FROM NhlPlayer
INSERT INTO PlayerBackups

I find nothing in msdn, is that some new syntax or just a fault? I guess the later because

INSERT INTO PlayerBackups
SELECT * FROM NhlPlayer

would work fine.

Both posts are wrong syntax.

I've -1 in the first from SO and left a comment on the second.

Create a table

SELECT * INTO PlayerBackups FROM NhlPlayer

Inserts to an existing table

INSERT PlayerBackups SELECT * FROM PlayerBackups
