Today we have ESPN and co. offering analysis via the traditional

connected by analytic insights from "Joe Public" the analyst. Also,
what's good for sports applies to Politics, Finance, Soap Operas, and
other realms.
What I'd really like to do as a next step is to identify a Linked Open
Data advocate who happens to watch a lot of one of the sports for
which more data is becoming available, and then encourage that person
to get in touch with one of the stats-oriented communities within that
sport to help make these stats available as a SPARQL endpoint. If it
was soccer, Uche would be an obvious candidate, but judging by
http://www.sportsstandards.org/oc the NHL, NFL, or MLB seem to be the
best places to start.
At the next Boston/Cambridge/semweb/LOD meetup, I suggest you keep you
eye out for Red Sox, Bruins, or Pats-themed clothing...

Bob,
I am a major Soccer, Football (NFL), Basketball (NBA), and Baseball
(MLB) (play-offs only) fan.
Uche and I share Soccer fan DNA amongst other things :-)
I've looked at the site you suggested and it provides a number of great
data sources for LOD and RDB2RDF projects.
We will certainly have a crack at a Linked Data Space based on what's
available.
