I think I've heard that too. Maybe he pushed for his character to be a Yankee fan because he wanted to show some jerkish tendency that he feels that "E" has? Or maybe he's suddenly a long-time Mets fan because he sees a shot at being something of an insider. Who knows?

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, and the poetry thread was gay.

Spike Lee, on Twitter:

I grew up a Mets fan and migrated to the interlocking N and Y.

Go migrate off a cliff, pal.

Wow? Spike Lee's a douchebag? I never would have guessed!

SC = infinity

Do the Right Thing and kill yourself, Spike.

How he missed being cast in Entourage we'll never know.

Some wouldn't call that growing up, Spike.

Andy Shernoff of the Dictators (aka the Christopher Columbus of Punk) rocks Queens style. Can any of you punks out there confirm?

Interesting. I did not know that. The band's singer "Handsome Dick" is a notorious YLDB.

Jeffrey Toobin!

Mets lovin cop takes accused pharmacy scumbag killer David Laffer to hospital after his arrest.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I saw that in the Daily News this morning and was wondering if he was undercover, or if the Suffolk County police force have adopted Mets road jerseys as their official uniforms.

Either way... good choice!

And, not insignificantly, I'm glad they nailed that creep.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like they did more than nail him.

[Frayed Knot]

One account of that guy and the robbery/slaying talked about what a huge Islander fan he was.
Bet they were happy to hear that.

[soupcan]

Excerpt from the Post story about the murderer (David Laffer) and his wife:

After a four-year courtship, he proposed to Melinda Brady, a secretary, at an Islander game in 2006 -- by popping the question on the Nassau Coliseum's Jumbotron screen. It read, "Melinda, will you marry me. Love, David."

Grew up outside SF, lives in SoCal. I'm thinking... NotMetly.

Howie was talking about Gene Simmons there also. He may have Judeo-Queens roots, but I'm not giving him a ticket to the MLBS club without a thorough investigation by the membership committee.

He grew up in Oakland and was a fan of the Athletics. I remember when he went on a baseball road trip w/Ron Howard and others. Since they have a few bucks, they did the trip the way you'd want to: they rented a bus and hired a driver.

[Gwreck]

An article from that trip cites the Dodgers as Hanks' favorite team: Article here.

[G-Fafif]

Wore no Dodger gear last night. Then again, he's got a movie to promote to all parts of the nation.

He's a tremendous douche, regardless of who's laundry he's rooting for.
