I'm a big D&D player, so I'd never knock anyone who actually wants to use the real thing, even if a script can speed things up.
I have a Dice sheet in my Excel document with four columns of =RANDBETWEEN(1,6) next to each date. My usual method is that each day where there is an event, I do a physical click re-roll in case there is another event. Technically, there could be an infinite number of events on any given date as long as the dice roll one of my three event combinations of max/med/min. To save time, I have decided to use only a single event per day for the offseason, so now I just copy and paste results on my Events sheet. That saved more time than physically transferring each result and then making space for a second roll.

When there is an event, I use Random.org to roll for intensity and length, and use the random number generator to determine which team(s) and player(s) are a part of the event. Therefore, the simple roll is not just rolling, but bringing as much randomness to the "victim" as possible. If there is no event, I spend far less time. If there is an event, you see the proof through the news story I generate.
