Rhodes: I'm not a Barry Bonds fan, so it would be Bonds. And I like Mike Piazza, but there's something about his face that drives me crazy.

Rhodes: I stood across the ring from Superstar Billy Graham, and I looked at this unbelievable body that this great man had. To know that steroids nearly killed him, man, I think they should test.
SI: What kind of hitter would Andre the Giant have made?

SI: Is Chipper really a good name for a man?
Rhodes: I knew a hooker one time in Kansas City who was named Chipper. But what I want to know is, why isn't Chipper Jones playing third base? What the hell are they thinking? And why isn't he throwing the ball across to Ryan Klesko?
