I don't know of any net source for team statistics.  If anyone
does I'd like to know about it, and maybe what I'm proposing here would
be un-necessary.

An idea comes to mind, however, that would get the stats for each team
relatively quickly.  If we coordinated the efforts of 28 individuals we
could get a net posting of the individual stats for all teams each week.  
All we need to do is get 28 people to commit to posting the stats on their 
favorite team promptly after each game.

It would help to agree on a simple format so that they look uniform, and
so that programs could read them in.  At least initially what I'd like to
see is simply a player list with their individual stats (number of carries,
yards, scores)  I would think game summaries are not what is needed,
there seem to be plenty of those out there.  But if a summary is included
perhaps it should be at the end.

Proposed Format:  (Keep It Simple Stupid)

     with 0 interceptions for 366 yards 
     and 2 touchdown passes thrown.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of teams to sign up for.  REMEMBER this would be a COMMITMENT
to submit the stats for each week, so don't sign up unless you really want
to do this, there are plenty of others out there who would.  Send me your
sign up, and I'll update the list.  All I'm planning to do is maintain
the sign up list and moderate between proposed changes in the format.
A person signing up will be responsible for making his/her own team stats
posting.  I may collect all the postings and make a single posting of
all the teams if warranted and if this becomes successful.

If you think this is a good idea and want to sign up, email me the team
you want.  In case we are short of people, also indicate if you'd be willing
to do a second or third team and what those teams would be.  Be sure to
include your name, EMAIL address, and any suggestions you may have.

Thanks,
