The seeding overall is pretty bad IMO. Aside from Prop Joe (again IMO) the Ports bracket is incredibly weak. Most of them would be low seeds in the three other divisions.East Baltimore & West Baltimore have some really tough first round matchups.
ETA: West Baltimore - Omar
Hamsterdam - the winner of the Bunk v Bubbles
Ports - Prop Joe
East Baltimore - Bodie
ETA 2: Bubbles is a #7 seed? That's nuts.
ETA 3: Frank Sobotka & Serge Molotov but no Slim Charles. Ridiculous.

One episode left of season 3. Accidentally read a Bill Simmons article a year ago that tipped me off to the fact that Stringer was going down. But I thought the article said that Avon was going to kill him, so it was a mild surprise at the way he met his demise. I kept thinking Avon was going to throw him off the roof or something. I really liked the way it happened and they did a good job of making Stringer seem expendable. I loved him in seasons 1 and 2. In season 3 he started getting too uppity.
I'm pumped to get started with season 4. Heard nothing but good things about it.

Avon did kill him. He dimed Stringer's location to Omar and Brother Mouzone.

Yeah, that's what the spoiler I read said. I just thought he actually was going to pull the trigger. Liked it much better the way it happened.

Pretty terrible miss. Should definitely be on there over Cheese and Serge. Hell, he should be on there over Herc.

I would put Carver in over Kima for sure, not sure about Herc. Serge needs to go but I'm okay with Cheese making the tourney, he played an important part.Is Carver not on there either??

Cheese was important, but from what I remember he didn't have much screen time and his character wasn't anything special. He'd probably be my first cut from the list (note: I love Method Man).I would put Carver in over Kima for sure, not sure about Herc.

Herc sucked. Carver ruled. Pretty glaring mistake.
Chaka
Footballguy
Herc was a great knuckle head. I loved watching him get done over by thugs and cops alike and never learning a thing.Carver was a great foil for Herc and I loved that he learned from his mistakes.Both are more bracket worthy than Kima.

How dare you disrespect Kima
. She's great and if only one of those 3 deserves to be in, it's her. And it's not close. Carver over Herc without a doubt though.Signal 13! Signal 13!

Characters that should have been included:Carver - agreeRhonda Pearlman - She was in a lot of episodes but she was boring and not really memorable. I wouldn't include Cedric Daniels for the same reason.Nick Sobotka - Totally disagree. Ziggy is the only Sobotka worth including.Jay Landsman - HUGE oversight.Stan Valcheck - OkaySpiros - Sure, why notCharacters that should have been left out

I can see the argument in favor of Kima.How dare you disrespect Kima

Totally disagree with Wallace, his is a central character. Wallace played an important role in the turning of D'angelo which of course lead to his killing by Stringer and that was the genesis of the rift between him and AB that eventually lead to his betrayal.Also Bodie killed Wallace, someone that he knew since he was little, he did not really want to but he was a SOLDIER. Later on an Older and Wiser Bodie probably would not have done that: In essence the killing of Wallace giving us an action by which to show the maturity of Bodie.

I always thought Amy Ryan would have made a better Pearlman. I didn't care for that actress.

Why is Beadie worth inclusion? She didn't bring much to the show. Cutty was flat but his arc was interesting.edited to add two more (Beadie and Cutty)Characters that should have been included:CarverBeadie RussellRhonda PearlmanNick SobotkaJay LandsmanStan ValcheckSpirosCharacters that should have been left out
she was a main character in season 2. maybe I'm taking the bracket names too literally, but her and Nick and Spiros all belong in the Ports bracket.besides, the list needs more female characters and Beadie and Pearlman both played big roles in the show.maybe I just like Amy Ryan.

Yeah I think you are taking the names too seriously. I don't think screen time should be the final arbiter for who gets into the bracket. Beadie really didn't do much. Nick was okay but there are many more important characters to the series than Nick. I also didn't like the way they forced fed him into a season 5 episode, not quite sure what the point of that was,
everybody hated Ziggy. Not sure how he makes the top 32 in a top character bracket.
Also, Avon is a weak #1 seed. Should have been Marlo or McNulty or Bubbles there. Prezbo should be higher than an 8 seed too.
Wallace a #4 seed? I don't see it personally.
Bubbles a 7 seed? That's horrible.
Also weird to see Michael, Snoop, and Chris Partlow all top-4 seeds in the same bracket.

if we polled the FFA on who their favorite Wire character is, I have zero doubt he would finish among the top-2 or 3 with Omar and maybe Stringer. Bunk's going to do very well in this bracket.EDIT: http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=482663&st=0&p=10694985
results were different than I remembered but he's still up there with Stringer and Bubbles in the race for 2nd.

I love Beaddie. Great character and great actress.
Although, she did essentially steal McNulty away for a whole season, and she stole Michael Scott away from DMPC-S.
It's not her fault though. She's just too lovable.

I don't just have a minor gripe with McNulty a 3, Lestor a 5 and Bubs a 7--once I saw those I completely disregarded the whole thing. Everybody has their favorites, but that's laughably bad. It actually made me angry.
Chaka
Footballguy
I completely agree about Bubbles, no problem with Prezbo as an 8 though. Michael as a #2 seed seems way too high IMO and his bracket is chock full of cold-blooded killers.The more I think about it the more I realize I am overrating Herc and undervaluing Kima.
shader
Footballguy
great point.How many other shows could do that?
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
Kima is being way undervalued here. While she wasn't one of my top characters, she was way more valuable to the show than Herc or Dukie IMO.
Chaka
Footballguy
I think everyone has Omar in the Championship game but I don't see String as even a clear cut Final Four character.

They could have gone all the way to 64 and given better top seeding out to several awesome characters.
Freamon a #5 seed???
Can we list 32 more names worthy for a 64??

Hate him too, but love the fact he was put against Omar. So we can all see him lose by 100%

I disagree. Kima obviously got more screen time, but the Dukie arc was more important to the show. The next crop of junkies and players moving onto the field.

Fair enough. But I'm guessing that he will on most.
