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.
That seems like a good system, and generates plenty of drama, quite balanced between efficiency/time saving and actually making sure we get things of interest.
