ya, that and he's been watching breaking bad for 4 months.
statute of limitations - i hear you, and if you stumbled across it in a more appropriate context it would be more excusable.
i just think the biggest sports writer in america putting maybe the biggest spoiler from the entire series in capital letters just to prove a point is pretty ****ing dumb. this isn't the usual suspects or the sixth sense - the wire is still a pretty niche show. i don't really understand why someone would go out of their way to spoil it for someone who didn't get around to watching it yet. no doubt there's countless people who have avoided all of simmons' bs on the wire up to this point, and quite possibly just got stung badly by that one.
