FanHouse's Top Five scans the sports blogosphere for the best posts of the last 24 hours so you don't have to. Got something for this feature? Hit us up at fanhouse@googlegroups.com.

1) Since I write "FanHouse's Top Five" every third day, I have no room to talk about creating numerical lists of subjective, abstract material. Of course, "Top Five" really just means "Hey, here's five or so blog posts that we liked, in no particular order," but still, if lists are something you're trying to avoid, Top Five is not the place for you.

Which brings us to the blogosphere's major listing issues yesterday. After Peter King created his list of the Top 500 -- 500! -- NFL players, including gaffes like ranking Calvin Johnson (yet to take a snap in the pros) over Donovan McNabb (one of the game's elite quarterbacks when healthy), other folks decided to try their hand at overextended lists. After much soul-searching, Flyers Fieldhouse came up with a list of 75 sports, totally ranked for your pleasure. Yeah, there are really are 75 sports. I didn't think it possible.

2) Speaking of lists, Georghe: The Blog informs that O.J. Simpson has accused someone named "Charlie" -- his number of upper-body limbs is still in question, though authorities have yet to rule out a "one-armed man" theory -- so Mr. Muresan's namesake provides a list of Charlies to help authorities narrow down the suspect base. Charlie Sheen? The Viet Cong? O.J. will not rest until someone named Charlie is brought to justice. Charlie Chaplan?

3) Bucco Blog has a list of characteristics ideal for any new Pirates CEO. Hint: the qualifications aren't too rigorous.

4) Sports blogs, someday selecting every member of every team in every professional sport.

5) In his ongoing desire to cover every angle of pickup basketball possible, Basketbawful unearths the "10 Guys You Meet in Pickup Basketball" video. one notable exception from my college days: the "I-play-D1-ball-and-I-know-you-recognize-me-so-don't-even-try" player. Always fun when one of those steps into the rec gym fray.
