Overheard at New York's Regency Hotel this morning, which famous pint-sized film director/auteur and notorious Mets fan didn't do the right thing in speculating that a certain Bronx team is the one to beat in 2008?

Did you do the overhearing, SF?
Posted by: FenSheaParkway | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 11:17 AM
Sounds like Spike Lee but he's a Yankees fan isn't he?
Posted by: no sleep til brooklyn sf | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 11:36 AM
the wife overheard, but I was under the impression that Lee was a Mets fan. Am I wrong? If so, apologies!
Posted by: SF | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 12:02 PM
im pretty sure that spike is a yankees fan....

Lee is in fact a Yankees fan (despite naming his character Mookie in "Do The Right Thing").
But if it makes you feel any better, last year he was saying good things about the Knicks...
Posted by: Emma | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 12:12 PM
funny, I just saw Spike on the street downstairs from my office while getting lunch. He was wearing his yanks hat and fugly knick leather jacket. He's getting around today.
Posted by: chrismarz | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 01:12 PM
Well if he thinks the Yankees are the ones to beat, more power to him. That's why we play the games.
Posted by: no sleep til brooklyn sf | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 01:15 PM
Well, my mistake. Makes the blind item pretty uninteresting.
So why is a good Brooklyn guy like Lee rooting for the Yanks? Turncoat!
Posted by: SF | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 01:29 PM
I could have sworn I've seen Lee wearing Mets caps before... apparently SF and I have had the same incorrect programming. The Matrix will surely fix this error in the next patch.
Posted by: Atheose | Friday, March 28, 2008 at 01:48 PM
Hmm, I investigated further (because, you know, these are the really important issues) and it looks like Atheose and SF may not have been so wrong.
I assumed Lee was a Yanks fan because during the 2006 playoffs, I saw him in the dugout during batting practice in full Yanks gear, shooting what he said were home movies with a really nice DV camera. He's at a lot of games, too. But apparently Lee is a bit of a bigamist:
