The greatest slugger in all the land, Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, got himself down to Florida earlier than most of his teammates so he could continue working on his defense with third base coach Sam Perlozzo. Since he was down there already, he might as well take advantage of the Super Bowl being so darn close and make himself available for a ton of interviews and such, right?

Right.

So Howard did just that. On Friday, Big Brown spoke with Mike Missanelli of 97.5 The Fanatic (Philly’s FIRST fm sports-talk station!), Mike Francesa of WFAN New York (WARNING: Mike’s annoying voice starts immediately after clicking that link) as well as a LIVE! interview with CSNPhilly.com (Which can be found under the Phillies tab HERE) and probably half of the zany hosts on “Radio Row” (like here, with The Executioner!)

Surely sick of all the horrible, repetitive questions asked in those countless interviews, Ryan stepped out on the town Saturday Night to do some MIA partying, and he brought along (what appears to be) his girl. 

Aren’t *they* cute all holding hands and shit:
