Instead what I came up with is a new feature called "High 5". Essentially it's a miniature version of a Top Ten List. Kicking off the festivities this week is a look at 5 Great Comebacks in honor of this blog rising from the ashes.
1. The Red Sox coming back from down 3-0 in the 2004 ALCS to beat the New York Yankees: They went on to win the World Series that year, their first of 2 World Series Championships in the last four years. No team had ever come back from a 3-0 deficit before. Considering that this was the moment that the curse was reversed it ranks as a sure fire #1 on this list.
A familar sight....
2. Michael Jordan (the first time): Any time you can walk away from a professional sport after winning three straight titles, try to play a different professional sport, and then come back to your original sport and win three more titles consecutively you deserve a lot of props.
Not the comeback I'm referring to....
3. New Orleans: Considering that President Bush didn't even want to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina turned the city into a cesspool it's been a remarkable road to recovery for N.O. It's no where near where it needs to be but with Mardi Gras and Chris Paul you can't go wrong.

4. Indiana Jones: Time to dust off that whip Indy. It's been twenty years since your last cinematic adventure but this summer everyone's favorite treasure hunter returns to the big screen. Going twenty years without seeing any action must have been hard for you. I should know. I'm almost half way there myself.
Indy then and now...
5. Ric Flair: In order to be the man you have to beat the man. And in order to make this list you have to survive a plane crash and go on to become the greatest wrestler of all time.
Wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And honorable mention goes to red wine.....first its healthy for you, then it's not, then it is again! It's made almost as many comebacks as Brett Farve.
