Sportswire.

"It's an exceptional show, and I'm not even sure 'exceptional' is a strong enough word." I've had considerable issues with Bill "Sports Guy" Simmons in the past, but, now that he's become a fellow Wire enthusiast (see the last few paragraphs), I'm inclined to feel more charitable towards him. "After plowing through the first 37 episodes of 'The Wire' in three weeks this summer, I agree with others who argue that it's the most important television show of all-time, surpassing even 'The Sopranos' because of its ambition and social relevance."
