I like random data. You never know when it will turn out to be handy. Last evening and this morning, I bench marked some totals regarding how many digg submissions existed for various keywords. After that, I copy and pasted some of those search results, and labeled them by league/team. In addition to that, I recorded profile information for people who had submitted things to digg. If I looked at their profile and they had other digg listings that they submitted or had dugg, I added those teams to the list. Given the issues with finding out the true total of results for these teams, the data I have is just a sample. These samples are not large. (This data is not easy to manually mine.)
For all teams where I have 5+ people who submitted a link related to a team or dugg a link related to a team, I decided to calculate the mean, median and mode.

There appear to be some differences between people who submit links to /digg AFL related links by team. If this holds true for a larger sample (currently between 9 and 16 diggers) would be an interesting question. I don’t know how feasible that will be given the time issue.
My digg data is available here.
