How is McNulty possibly not a #1 seed? It defies logic.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Omar will win in a landslide .."a man goota have a code"

 

[cortacuse]

Im a big Snoop fan...

 

[joct]

Must be since he was left mostly out of season 4, and some people didn't like the story 5 storyline, it was thier equivalent of the "last 10 games" logic.

Plus Serge in over The Greek?

 

[Ghost]

I would move Michael Lee off the 2 line as well. The 3 seeds are STRONG.

 

[StopCoolio]

I got Omar over Stringer finals.

I just see that Hamsterdam division breaking down. McNulty to the final 4. Bubbles(total underseed at 7) over Clay Davis in my big upset pick. Shiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Watch out for Dukie. Sleeper. Ditto for Lester as a 5.

 

[Eric15]

Most confusing part of this: Carv is nowhere on the entire list, and Herc is an 8 seed.

 

[armory]

There should be a Game of Thrones version. You could probably fit in 64, and it would be much more relevant.

Just made a post about this too, sorry. Awesome idea though!

Bunk has to hate seeing Brother Mouzone in round 1...and Cutty vs Chris is a classic. You have to like Chris there, unless Cutty can tap into 'old Cutty'

 

[cytolliver]

some really hard opening round match ups here daniels vs mcnulty, chris vs cutty, bubbles v clay davis, dukie v carcetti, and marlo v kima. Those a pick em matchups right there, i think even omar v ziggy on a character matchup is closer than ppl would expect on face value.

 

[cytolliver]

weebay is way overranked at a 4? he was in like 1 seasons and then 5 episodes. namond should be in the bracket if ziggy is, huge snub there

 

[tbonezone]

i gotta go with stringer bell.head in the books. always improving and looking at the big picture.

carver is another huge snub biggest ever. prez can give avon a run late too

Disagree. I think Bey wins the whole thing. The dude took all those murders and a life sentence like it was nothing--CROWN HIM.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Chris was a bad ass.. McNulty on the sauce is a 1 seed... Off the sauce is a 3.

I would not rule out Carcetti as a 4, what about Clay Davis? where is the love there? He would be like Coach Cal the old UNLV teams, very shady

If I ever saw the dude who played Chris on the street I would run the other way.

Totally agree - Brother Mouzone is a nightmare 1st round matchup. Do you really want to have to deal with this...

ok but chris did same thing just didnt have the potato salad scene. and i feel chris is more real, and vicious

 

[cytolliver]

not weebays fault they dont show him killing little man or the security lady

 

[PauliePeppas]

Chris was the most ruthless guy on the show, serge was second

 

[HakAttack]

Omar's clearly winning the whole DAMN thing.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

weebay did some dirt, he was definitely a soldier...

Agreed, and Bubbles is only a 7, and Cool Lester Smooth is only a 5? Blasphemy.

 

[orange03]

All kidding aside, The Wire was just a damn near perfect television show. Never be anything like it again.
