    I thought that he might miss the earth! (I probably would have, but I sure wouldn't have stopped for directions!)

    I will just say that tonight's Grand Canyon tightrope was incredible. I watched him cross Niagara Falls last year, and it must take some nerves to do that. I am not at all afraid of heights, but I know that it would be a certain death for me.

    I find myself more drawn to the jump. Both are incredibly impressive and risky feats, but I prefer Stratos.

    Dude broke the sound barrier during his jump. I'll take that one.

    Those are nothing. I once saw Nate James jump over Patrick Davidson.

    The official list:

    1. Patrick Davidson
    2. Nate James
    3. Nick Horvath in summer practices
    4. Grant Hill's alley-oop dunk against Kansas
    5. Everything else

    I'm actually laughing out loud.

    Horvath WAS the man, though. For sure. I mean in practice and all.
