Thanks for the link! I'm the founder of StatSheet. I wish I had the money to pay for a PR firm. Should I put johnbilli on the payroll? :-)

Haha like I said: the site seems cool & useful (congrats btw), but the submission title is awful...at least for a website like HN.

I'd kill for your domain :-) Nice site. Why no MLB?

How I got my domain is an interesting story in itself. It cost me $500, which I thought was a steal.

Why not MLB? Time and money :-) Plus, MLB stats on the web seem to be better covered than some of the other sports. But I do intend to add MLB in the near future. Ultimately I'd like to add every major sport to StatSheet! Golf, cycling, you name it.

Doing stats (even if it does seem interesting) != Taking on ESPN, CBS Sportsline, Yahoo Sports.

Cool idea, temporarily ruined by a Digg headline.

Edit: Was not a PR firm or the founder who submitted the link.

Agreed.

Nice site. The chart builder feature seems really cool. And overall, stats are really easy to find. Less digging than other sites.

It doesn't seem to actually have that many stats on it. I clicked on NFL and there was just a list of teams. I clicked on a team and then there was just a schedule, i.e., another list of teams. Where are the stats?

I was hoping for something that would show me some new, interesting statistics. Like different ways of analyzing the stats to say how the conventional wisdom was wrong about something.

So far I've done the most with College Basketball and College Football.

Here are a few links that show features and stats unique to StatSheet:

Why linkbait? The site was just featured on Mashable. This looks a lot better than any other site I've seen: http://statsheet.com/mcb/games/2008/04/07/kansas-75-memphis-...

Mashable is one of the Kings of linkbait. Changing the title would do wonders.

How is this taking on anyone?

This looks like linkbait.

Protip: people don't go to ESPN, Yahoo, or other sites just for stats.

StatSheet isn't only about stats. There are AP articles & photos, personalization features, discussion forums, etc. Soon users will be able to write articles too.

It should be just about stats. You can't take on those three on everything.

You do stats much better than they do. Focus.

Great point Joel! Stats are definitely my bread and butter.

We at http://www.hotstixgolf.com would be very happy to see you add Golf to StatSheet!
