Donnie Andrews (w/ shank in the video) was one of the main inspirations for the character of Omar. On this day in 1986, Andrews, along with professional boxer and contract killer Reggie Gross, killed Zach Roach and Rodney Young in what came to be known as “The Gold Street Murders.” His pay was $5,000 and two ounces of heroin for the hit. A few months later, Andrews’s conscience, combined with being tired of the game and tired of running, led him to turn himself in to BPD homicide detective (and future The Wire co-creator) Ed Burns, along with prosecutor Larry Gibson. He cooperated and wore a wire, helping implicate Gross and Warren Boardley, who had taken out the hit. In 1987, expecting a reduced sentence, Andrews was sentenced to life in prison. With help from David Simon, Ed Burns, and prosecutors, Andrews was paroled in 2005.
More context here:
The Ravens' game-winning drive started with 0:07 on the clock -- the latest a game-winning drive has ever started (after a kickoff) in the ESPN database (since 1978).
That was the quickest game-winning drive ever.
Kids now might scoff, but growing up going to the mall was special. A right of passage even.
The sights. The sounds. The smells.
During Christmas time, we still make it a point to go to our local mall with the kids because there’s a special spirit that I have not seen recreated anywhere else
Lamar has led in league in Passing TDS, Josh has never done that
Lamar has thrown 40 TDS in a season, Josh has never done that
Lamar had the 4th highest passer rating of all time in a season; Josh hasn’t come close to that
Lamar is also the all time leader in passer rating, idk where Josh is.
That was funny tho 😂😂
I know we give @Lj_era8 credit for being an incredible athlete & playmaker, but he doesn’t get enough credit for how good he is at playing QB IMO! Continually making quick decisions, big time throws on time, in the pocket & having a plan with his process! He’s gotten really good at everything!
Can't get over just how bad that was. Awful subs, far too late. ZERO game management - cheap fouls given away non-stop. Bruno, Cunha, Mbeumo all horrific. Carrick's obsession with Dorgu and prioritising him down the LW is just odd now. Rashford should never have been taken off. Sesko had to be brought on earlier. There's no downplaying it, that's as bad as it gets. Against 10 men, at home, 0 goals.
