HE’S NO JERRY Maguire, that’s for sure. But we’re sure that ‘Proposition’ Joe Stewart has got what it takes to be the best damn sports agent in the fictional world of sport.
Here’s a selection of reasons we counted up while resting our trigger finger.
NOTE: The Wire stopped filming in 2008 so there may be spoilers below (and in the comment section). If any, not many, but use your own discretion.
Also, Prop Joe don’t mince his words. So… use your own discretion.
He knows how to blend in at sporting events
And in the boardroom
He knows how to negotiate
He’s got a finger in several pies
He takes wide-eyed young fellas under his wing
And teaches them what’s ‘all in the game’ with some words of wisdom
Joe knows the value of money. But more importantly, he knows how much other parties value his money
Anyone asked Falcao this question?

Family, they’ll be the end of him
We imagine Nicolas Anelka’s brother can relate to this…
Even backed into a corner, he finds room to negotiate

Chew played Prop Joe and also worked on previous David Simon creations Homicide: Life on the street and The Corner, based on the same source material as The Wire.
