You'll notice I haven't posted anything related to sports in awhile. Here is my sportsyear in a nutshell: Rangers had their best year ever BUT Horns suck (4-6!!!), Deacon football is abysmal (2-8), Deacon basketball is off to a roaring 1-2 record before even getting into the real schedule, Stars are playing decent hockey (but might as well take the year off since I won't see a single game and they are broke) and the Mavs are playing decent (7-3).

Wing Suits are the coolest things ever

This is just all around ridiculous. I've seen similar videos before, but perhaps you haven't. In any case, I want one.

I want all of this stuff. I will find a need for it.
