I then select and copy this data (ctrl-a, ctrl-c) and paste it into an Excel worksheet. From there I can massage the data to my heart's content using other worksheets and VBA scripts that get their input from the pasted data.

I do this routinely as I play the game - I think of my spreadsheet as my "analytics department" and I use it to evaluate players, create projections, evaluate trades and to help manage my depth charts and lineups. (this latter can be a real time-saver when trying to figure out how to juggle one's lineups and depth charts after an injury)
If you dont mind, could you pm me the setup of your spreadsheet and maybe explain it? Im curious how using one could affects how you play the game.
