Hbo's The Wire Is The Best Show Ever Made.

Nurse Jackie? Walking Dead? Seriously???

The Wire takes a big dump on most "good" shows today. I am a huge Walking Dead fan.....but that show isn't in the same ballpark. Characters are too weak.

GOT has a chance.....this season will have a big part on where that show is placed in talks.

If we are talking drama - yea The Wire is the best. I would say The X-Files could be around #1 - but the last few seasons were hit or miss.. Homeland and GoT might unseat it though. The Wire knew when to wrap up the series.

Arrested Development wins if we are talking all categories.

The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are the best TV series ever. I do like the wire though, and would put it in my top 5.

The Wire is my #1. Game of Thrones is in my Top 5 but TWD lost my interest halfway through season 2.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
