Derek Jeter Q&A (cont.) |
SI.com: What's the last album you downloaded to your iPod? Jeter: Old-school R&B. Troop. SI.com: Do you have a ringtone on your phone? Jeter: Nope. I just use vibrate SI.com: What shows do you Tivo/DVR? Jeter: American Idol and Entourage. SI.com: Who is your all-time favorite American Idol? Jeter: Carrie Underwood's pretty good. She could sing. SI.com: Are we gonna read about you and Carrie Underwood in Page Six now? Jeter: [Laughing and raising voice] No, no. I've never met her! I've never met her! SI.com: Who is your favorite Entourage character? Jeter: I like Drama. SI.com: What is your favorite New York City club? Jeter: You're assuming that I go to clubs. I really don't go to clubs anymore. SI.com: Really? Ever? Jeter: I didn't say ever. I said not too much. SI.com: So let's say you were going out for a night. Where would you go? Jeter: I wouldn't know where to go right now. I can't tell you the last time I was out in a club in New York City. SI.com: You turned 34 last week. Jeter: Say 32. SI.com: OK, you turned 32 last week. Were there any parties or celebrations? Jeter: No. We were in Pittsburgh. We started playing, we got rain delayed. Then we got rained out. Then we came back to New York and we had a doubleheader and then we had rain the next day. So no festivities. SI.com: Will there be a party soon? Jeter: No, it's pretty much passed now. I think I missed one this year. SI.com: What is your favorite drink to order at Starbucks? Jeter: Cappuccino. SI.com: What is your favorite drink to order on the rare occasion you're at a club? Jeter: Cappuccino. SI.com: Come on. Jeter: Cranberry juice and club soda. SI.com: You hosted Saturday Night Live in 2001. Do you think you'll do it again? Jeter: Possibly. What you don't realize is that's a full week. When I did it, I thought you just show up on Thursday and on Saturday and that was it. You don't realize how much time goes into that show. I have the utmost respect for the people there because it's a full week every single week. I had a good time, though. SI.com: Are you able to just walk around the city if you feel like it? Jeter: I don't walk around Central Park, but you have to be careful what you do because people will make up a story and then Page Six has something for you. I'm not a hermit, but I definitely stay in a lot more than I used to. There's more attention now then there ever was. You walk down the street with someone and it's a story. It becomes national news, you know what I mean? So, I still do things, but I stay home a lot more. SI.com: What's the weirdest body part you've been asked to sign? Jeter: I've been asked to sign a forehead. SI.com: Did you do it? Jeter: No. I'm sure the person would've regretted it right after if I did it. SI.com: What do you think you'll be doing when you're 45 or 50 years old? Jeter: I'd like to be an owner. I think that would be something I'd enjoy. Being able to call the shots would be cool. SI.com: Would you let your players have facial hair? Jeter: Nope. They gotta shave. ![]()
