Calculate previous date question

How to get last Friday's date, without using a calendar table and regardless of the current DATEFIRST setting?
SELECT DATEADD(day, (DATEDIFF (day, '20000107', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) / 7) * 7, '20000107')
or
SELECT DATEADD(day, (DATEDIFF (day, '20000108', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) / 7) * 7, '20000107')
The first will return the current day if run on friday, the latter will return the previous friday.

There are a number of ways to do it. But you might consider a calendar table.
