My primary bracket question: Is there any justice in Lester Freamon getting a five seed while Clay Davis ends up with a two?

I posted on Grantland's page

"So Jimmy McNulty gets a 3 seed while the Bunk and Clay Davis both get higher?

Even Clay Davis says, "Shooooooooot"

Except I didn't say shoot, because I'm a rebel.

And additionally, without having looked at the first couple of days results, my initial final four picks: Omar, Bunny, Stringer and a toss-up in the Hamsterdam region (Bunk?  McNulty?  Bubbles?).  Stringer-Omar for the title.

Its a heartbreaker when Michael is gonna get the boot. Kinda like watching Kevin Durant lose in teh playoffs. Like...you want him to get there, but its not his time yet.

just got done watching this series from start to finish, I'm so bitter that theres no more left.

but yeah pretty much everything said in this thread is on point

IMO Omar Little is the best Anti-Hero character Ive ever seen.  So much attention to detail and so much creativity in the character and not to mention the entire series.


....oh and I also couldnt help but google Clay Davis to see what came up and there are some pretty hilarious t-shirts that you can by out there

I first stumbled onto this show whilst flicking through channels at about 1-2am one morning in late 2008.

My brother and I were just sitting there amazed at this incredibly gritty realistic show we'd never known anything abuot. Watched it all after that.

Would have to say of all the characters we definitely both liked Chris and Snoop the best. Every time they were on something interesting was happening. Absolutely stunned when I went on the net after watching it that first time and found out that Snoop was a chick! :o
