It's not Jeter's answers that suck, it's the questions

Bloggers are ragging over S.I.'s namby-pamby interview with Derek Jeter, mostly because the Jeet talks 20 minutes of nothing. He's a pro at saying nothing. He speaks with the mentality of Sarah Palin: Just don't say something stupid, and you might be President.


But, hey, who can be Oscar Levant with questions like these:

SI.com: Do you play Xbox at all?

SI.com: Have you watched the postseason at all?

SI.com: Speaking of the last week of the regular season, how was that
last game at Yankee Stadium?

SI.com: What do you think about the new Stadium?

SI.com: Do you ever come back to New York during the offseason?

Yeesh. Why didn't they just ask about carbon emission credits?

Here's our interview:


IIH, IIF, IIc: Think this. Phone rings. It's Heath Ledger's assistant. She screams, "HEATH IS DEAD! THAT OLSEN TWIN KILLED HIM!" What do you do? Turn it over to the police, or look for the murderer yourself?



IIH, IIF, IIc: You see the stars of "High School Musical 3" telling kids to, "Get out the vote!" We've become Nazi Germany, am I right?



IIH, IIF, IIc: Natalie Portman? What, she's too short?



IIH, IIF, IIc: Your computer locks up, and Microsoft asks in a box if you want to send "an error message?" Do you call it an error? Or as a fielder, who knows that everybody makes errors, do you side with the computer and not call it in?



IIH, IIF, IIc: Tell us something we don't know about Brian Bruney!
