What I love about that speech is that it sounds very epic yet it makes no sense whatsoever in text format: "There are no second chances... just the first chance which is actually a moment... and then moment after the first moment... and then a whole bunch of moments after that" lolwut.
But still, Rawls pulls it off.

lol! I'm not into sports but, after hearing Rawls speech, I think I get it now.
Yeah he's got a passion about him, the actor.

That speech from Rawls is one of my favourite from the entirety of The Wire. If I was an actor who needed to prepare a monologue, I'd go with that one 👌

I think this episode fully established the homicide guys as comic relief. Touching moments drenched in booze lol

The guy who played Ray Cole was a producer/co-creator of the series and actually did pass away while the series was still airing so they wrote it into the series.
