30 Seconds With David Baas February 4, 2012, 1:15 pm Having spent the first six seasons of his career on the San Francisco 49ers, who were a combined 37-59, offensive lineman David Baas did not have a lot of experience winning games in the N.F.L. Now, in his first season with the Giants, he is the starting center for a Super Bowl team. A low-key Michigan alumnus, Baas, 30, seems to be ready for a battle Sunday in Super Bowl XLVI against the New England Patriots. Q. Has the past week been more fun or more stressful? A. I'd say fun. Q. During the regular season, Frank Gore said he missed you and your "crazy-looking face." What do you think of Frank Gore's face? A. Frank Gore's face is a face of legends. He's an amazing back. What else can you say about him? Q. You grew up in Florida, went to school in Michigan and now you play in New York. Where is the best food? A. I'd have to say New York, so far. We've been trying to sample a bunch of different places. We've just been jumping around trying to find a bunch of different spots. Q. Can the line give quarterback Eli Manning enough time to run around in the backfield and pull off another helmet-catch throw? A. Absolutely. That's our job. It's going to be a challenge, but I think we can. Q. How excited were you when Andy Samberg and Lonely Planet put out the song "Like a Boss"? A. The fans in San Francisco used to come up to me and say, "You Paid the Cost to Be the Boss" [in reference to the similarly named album by Snoop Dogg] and then "Like a Boss" came out. People harass me about it all the time. But it is what it is.
