Friday Five and a Half

Don’t ask me what the title means. I’m putting this up.
5. I like this Eric Berry video.

Friday 5 – Best NFL Pass Rush Duos This Year

It’s a little over half way into the NFL season and so for this week’s Friday 5 I’m looking at the most successful duos in the league at getting to the quarterback. I’m on a trip out in Santa Monica, California so you’ll have to forgive me for making this quick. It’s pretty straight forward: [...]

Friday 5 – Blown Calls

I kind of alluded to today’s Friday 5 with this post detailing the horrible umpiring that has taken place in the Major League Baseball Playoffs this season.  I’ve decided to countdown the most meaningful blown calls of all time.  Obviously, I’m not going to know all the blown calls so if your great grandpa remembers [...]

Friday Five – Young Receiver Tandems

I know that after my last Friday Five being about rookie receivers and now this one being about young receiver tandems you’re going to start thinking that all of my Friday Fives are going to be about young receivers, but I promise they won’t be. I got the idea for this one when I was [...]

Friday 5 – Baseball Movies

I have to qualify today’s Friday 5 with a little background information.  Next weekend, my fiancee and I are headed to a wedding up near Chicago.  I hinted that we should probably drive up through Iowa so we can stop by the Field of Dreams.  She thought it was a pretty good idea, (See?  I [...]

Friday 5 – Rookie Receivers

I was sitting here trying to figure out what I was going to do for today’s Friday 5, and I received inspiration from myself, when I was looking at the post I put up for 3SIB earlier. That was about running backs, and specifically SEC running backs that fell under certain statistical criteria. This really [...]

Friday 5 – Saturday Edition!

Yesterday was Weller’s turn to do the Friday 5, but he was out-of-town and I completely dropped the ball.  So instead, you’ll be getting the first ever special edition.  Why is it so special?  Well, because it makes me look like I didn’t forget yesterday.
So today I’m going to count down my favorite sports.  Weller [...]

Friday 5 – Best Speeches

On Wednesday longtime Detroit Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell gave a stirring farewell speech in front of a packed house at Comerica Park.  That got me thinking about what the greatest sports speeches off all time were.  I don’t mean interviews or tirades, so no MEN WHO ARE FORTY and no “Playoffs?….Playoffs?”  There will also be [...]

Friday 5 – Troy Polamalu

As Bryan mentioned last week, we will be doing a new feature where we do a random sports related top 5. For those of you that didn’t watch last night’s kickoff to the 2009 NFL season, Troy Polamalu had an amazing interception that actually ended up being number one on Sports Centers top 10 plays. [...]

Friday 5 – Cheap Shots

Since we’re heading into a three day holiday weekend, we here at WaB have decided to debut a new weekly feature.   Every Friday we’re going to roll out a Top 5 list about whatever we feel like listing.  This could be the Top 5 baseball movies of all time, the Top 5 Running Backs of [...]
