Stats for sports besides baseball

[MrOnizuka]

Reading through a few of these huge baseball debate threads has gotten me really interested in all these Sabermetric-type measurements that "explain" baseball tons better than traditional stats. However, I think that I've concluded that, for me, it's actually somewhat more interesting to look into these stats than watch an actual game. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

So my question is, are there any comparable statistics for say, basketball or football, which just so happen to be my two favorite spectator sports?

Basketball has what I believe is called the Hollinger efficiency index. I know they do it for the NBA. It is a +/- sliding scale that is an interesting indicator of performance. Some big formula figures it out.
