Filtering

OK, now I'm just being a pest. I realize my next request is a lot more work and would be a lower priority if anyone even wanted it done at all. I would like to see additional filtering capabilities in the Team Websites.
For starters, I would like to filter both the Games and Statistics sections by opponent (i.e. just see the games or stats for the good guys against Team X). This would be of most use when playing multiple times against the same team which is not uncommon.
Another common filter would be date based. A couple of calendar type controls similar to what we see on every travel site around could bracket a date range.
I know I can do this manually using leagues. However, you'll notice that these two filters would be based on already searchable data. It would eliminate the need for the user to manually set up as many leagues. These could be simple AND queries that combine with the league already selected. In other words, I could see stats for all games in League A against Team X. These two filters are two of the three most common ways to examine the data that I am asked about (the third being by tournament and that is best handled by leagues). I am always asked, "How did little Bobby do in February?" or "How did we do against the Evil Monsters", etc....
To keep the screen real estate to a minimum, these filters could be accessed by something simple like a plus sign next to the current league filter box. Hitting this plus sign would make the new filters appear below the league box, hitting the minus sign would clear them and make them go away.
