After some friendly Twitter teasing from the Baller Alert girls, NFL safety Kerry Rhodes agreed to answer a few of our questions. Here is what he told us.
What do you do during the off season?
Rhodes says he likes to lay back and relax. The season gets hectic and tense, so time away is all about being worry free.
What do you look for in a woman?
Rhodes did not say whether he is single, but he did share what draws him in. He says he has to be attracted to her first, though she does not have to be a beauty queen. She needs something that pulls him in, and then she has to keep him engaged with some intellect too.
What happened with you and Jennifer Hudson?
Rhodes says the two are simply friends and that the situation was taken out of context. He says they support each other and called Hudson a great girl.
Made to order and shipped to your door.
What is the craziest thing a woman has done to get next to you?
He recalled a night at a booth back in Alabama when a woman tried to clear everybody out of the room so she could be alone with him. He says it was weird, since she did not need to go that far.
What is the difference between a groupie and a fan?
In Rhodes’ view, a fan truly cares about what you do, while a groupie cares more about what they can get from being around you.
What is the most expensive thing you have bought, other than your home?
Rhodes points to his mom’s house back in Alabama. He added that he has his eye on a drop top Phantom right now.
What is your favorite car to drive?
His Range Rover.
What is the most generous gift you have given?
A Mercedes for his mom, who he says now cruises around with the windows down. He also mentioned a diamond necklace for a lady friend in the past.
What is next for the Kerry Rhodes Foundation?
Rhodes says he does a lot of smaller events and is working on a big weekend in New York or Miami. Details are still being finalized, so stay tuned.
What is next for you off the field?
Movies. He says he has projects lined up, though his focus right now is football, and he promised some big and interesting things to come.
iPhone or BlackBerry?
BlackBerry, with a laugh.
