This week’s Top 5 is pretty cut and dried. There are four NFL Playoff games and one big NCAA Football Championship. All that’s left to do is put the five big events in the proper order of anticipation.
#5 Detroit Lions at New Orleans Saints
Well, somebody has to play Drew Brees (pictured), the New Orleans Saints, and their #1 passing attack this weekend. The Detroit Lions drew the short straw on this one. The last time the Saints lost a game was four major holidays ago, the day before Halloween. Detroit-ians should be thrilled that their team made the playoffs
New Year’s Weekend Review
by Ronald A. Rowe January 3rd, 2012 | Football, NCAA, NFL
An extra long holiday weekend deserves an extra long holiday Top 5 Review. So we hereby present the first ever Buzzer Eagle Top 6 Weekend Review -
#6 The Winter Classic
The Philadelphia Flyers took a 2-0 lead over the New York Rangers in the second period of the Winter Classic. But that wasn’t enough to keep the Rangers out of the game. The last 25 minutes of the game belonged exclusively to the Rangers offensively and defensively. A 2-0 lead melted into a 3-2 loss faster than the mild Philadelphia weather melted the ice rink.

Top 5 Questions
by Ronald A. Rowe September 26th, 2011 | Baseball, Football, NCAA
Some weekends give us answers. Some just pose more questions. This weekend felt more like a question than an answer weekend. The Top 5 ponderables that we're pondering after a weekend glued to the TV:
#5 Doesn't anyone want to win the AL Wild Card?
The Boston Red Sox have been playing just awful baseball for the last month. The Tampa Bay Rays have been intermittently playing well and choking in big games. The New York Yankees have their spot locked up and and control - or at least heavily influence - who wins the Wild Card spot with their final

Desert Island Top 5
by Ronald A. Rowe September 22nd, 2011 | Auto Sports, Football, NCAA
If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick just five sporting events to watch this weekend (it could happen), here are the Top 5 you should pick.
#5 The Sylvania 300
Now that the Chase is on, perennial champion Jimmie Johnson is running out of time to make his move toward a sixth consecutive Championship. At just 300 miles, the Sylvania 300 is one of the shorter races on NASCAR's Sprint Cup circuit. Will this prove to be the launching pad for Johnson's glorious return, or the beginning of a new era?
#4 Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings
It's too

College Kickoff Weekend
by Ronald A. Rowe September 5th, 2011 | Football, NCAA, Weekend Review
The kickoff of College Football was just one facet of an exciting, sports-filled weekend. Our Top 5 favorite moments were:
#5 Bolt is Back
A week after Usain Bolt got himself disqualified for a false start, he stormed back into the Track and Field World Championships with a vengeance. He won Gold in the 200 meter on Saturday and followed it up on Sunday by anchoring the Jamaican team in the 4x100 relay. Bolt and his teammates not only won the Gold, but set a new world record.
#4 South Florida Bulls vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
If there's one thing we at
