Ditto.. spike is nothing more than a bandwagon fan. I dont respect people that dump their team like he has many times just to cheer for a popular one.
He needs to be a Dallas fan.

Maybe someone needs to take a long hard look at themselves for insinuating that the reason people don't like him is maybe racial.

Yeah race is no issue here...just dont like the guy ..period..

Those of you who are hating on this dude need to take a long hard look at themselves and admit the real reason for your distain.

If I took a long, hard look at myself I might faint. Yes there is more than one way to read that. LOL

Spike has done some good, but he's a self-appointed something or other. He's a blowhard. He's one of these people that thinks his celebrity made him insightful and wise. Quite the contrary. His celebrity, as it does with most famous people, has given him a platform from which he continues to put his ignorance on display.

I don't hate the guy, I just see him as one of many who thinks what he says matters more because he makes movies. Cue Clooney, Fonda, that stupid Dixie Chicks ho, Linda Ronstadt, and all the other "we know what's best for you because we're famous" fools.

I yawn. I change the channel. I think for myself.

Oh, and Zooey does not like Spike. :mrgreen:

I liked Sipke Lee's comments. People who are hating on him might dislike his comments, or they might just dislike him. I don't know enough about people on this forum to judge that. But in my view, at least, Mr. Lee's comments seemed like a compliment to the determined and driven nature of Saints players, and I agree with him.

As for me personally I'm just tired of hearing what he has to say about every damn thing. Between Spike, Jesse and Al, you'd think the rest of us couldn't go to the can without their take on the situation. LOL

Spud Lee needs to go back to New York where him and his ilk are happy in their fantasy world of elitism. Us folks down here work for a living all the way from the guy who delivers beer to shrimpers and fishermen. We live in the real world down here.

We could probably add Rush Limbaugh to that list.

Why can't we have new Bandwagoner's like other teams? every team has bandwagon fans, why are we restricted? whats wrong with Saints having outside support or people trading their old jersey for a new one?

I say: LET EM HAVE IT!..

Spike lee has done a lot for the community he practically lived in New Orleans from 2005-til and has done the city justice with his footage and stories that were told, lets give him a break, we let Ying Yang Twins (WHO ARE RIVAL ATLANTA FALCON FANS!) become Honorary Saints fans but we can't let Spike Lee who actually did something for the city be one? C'mon ya'll.

Maybe, only Rush is famous for politics, and I'd venture a guess that regardless of which way he leans he probably has a better grasp of that business than Spike.
