The Interview

Jimmy Rollins
PHILLIES SHORTSTOP
The National League 2007 MVP's dad calls him Jim-Bob.

Dan Patrick: What's the strangest thing you've thought standing out there at shortstop?

Jimmy Rollins: There have been times where I look up in the sky and I'm like, it would be nice to be barbecuing right now. But then I remember, it's pretty fun to be playing baseball. Somebody has to entertain the people.

DP: Give me the entertainer who entertains you most.

JR: Dave Chappelle.

DP: Who's the Dave Chappelle of the Phillies?

JR: Probably Ryan Howard. He's always the referee when we go out and see something that's just out of whack, whether it be a guy dressed up crazy, a girl just way out of pocket. Let's say you got a girl and she has a stomach that's sticking out further than the rest of her body parts....

DP: Sort of like Ryan has?

JR: Yes, something like that. He'll literally blow the whistle, put his hands up; he'll be like, Offsides, too much leading in front of the pack. You're like, This dude is crazy.
