No Surprise

Omar Little wins the Grantland bracket for characters of The Wire:

With a vocal fan base extending from Facebook to the First Family, Omar Little was always the favorite to win our highly subjective Smacketology tournament. The incomparably gracious Michael K. Williams — the man behind the shotgun — took some time away from filming the third season of Boardwalk Empire to bask in his victory, and hopefully enjoy a well-earned bowl of celebratory Cheerios. (They’d best be Honey Nut.) Funny and humble, Williams’s only request was that we shout out his Twitter followers so they could take part in the virtual championship parade. Follow Michael here — but remember one thing: If you tweet @ the King, you’d best not miss.

One of the most poignant plot lines of The Wire was little Kennard blowing Omar away.  The man was unstoppable, until he wasn't.  And some scrawny little kid did it.  It's no surprise Omar won the bracket, because that character was fascinating.
