WTF?!?! Hank Baskett Cut From Eagles Roster For Dog Killer?

Filed under: Zportz > Kendra Wilkinson > Sad Sad

This is just unacceptable!

The Eagles wide-receiver, Hank Baskett (you may know him as Kendra Wilkinson's husband) has been released from the team to make room of for quarterback Michael Vick.

You may know him as the disgusting man who started an illegal dog fighting ring.

Who the hell is running this team and what were they thinking?!

This is just wrong!

Hopefully, a better team will scoop Hank up!

      Michael Vick. DOG MURDERER…
      .
      HOPE U END UP LIKE THEM.
      .
      NO RESPECT FOR U.



    2. 2

      I think what Michael Vick did was disgusting, but the truth is the Eagles want to win and could care less how they win. Michael Vick may be a douche, but he is a great football player. They picked the better players not the better person.



    3. 3

      Philly is my hometown and I'm disgusted with their choice. I'm just glad I'm not an Eagles fan.



    4. 4

      It's not show friends; it's show business!



    5. 5

      Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!

      It was not to make room for Michael Vick … it was to make room for Jeff Garcia ! The Eagles needed a backup quarterback for Donovan McNabb after he broke his rib Sunday! Dont comment about football you obviously dont know very much about it!

    8. onel says – reply to this

      Perez, it's football - football is a business. The bottom line is that Vick paid his dues in prison. He's the better football player, sorry Hank.



    9. 9

      Relax… We didn't cut him to make room for Vick.. We have a ton of receivers and he just plain stinks.. Besides, he has other things goin for him, he'll bounce back..



    10. 10

      that's is a shocker! just read it on another site. glad I'm not an Eagles fan! poor choice, imo.



    11. 11

      This is terrible news. Hank is much better than that sumbag. Other felons when they get out of prison have trouble getting jobs or work and this guy is going to get millions and put a great guy out of a job. That sucks. Now I do hate Michael Vick and think he is never to be forgiven for what he did, there is no way to fix or makeup for his actions but at least he is trying- somewhat. I just heard last night on TV that Michael Vick is working with youth in bad neighborhood to stop those who are starting dog fighting rings and to put an end to those who are fighting their dogs. So at least mike is on the other side of the fight now.



    12. 12

      hopefully the giants get him!



    13. 13

      you are a moron mario and you again did not read the whole article. the Eagles did a whole bunch of decisions. it was not just put baskett on waivers to let vick on team. They have been trying to trade Baskett without any takers. They lost a quarterback, reactivated another player and now what to see vick on the team to see if he can still play. He served his jail time. He still has community service. Yes, what he did was disgusting, but I bet there is alot of them on the team that has done things that we would feel were gross but we dont know about it. The EAGLES are a BUSINESS. BUSINESSES ARE THERE TO MAKE MONEY. Baskett is not part of the picture -VICK -theyhave to see if he is. ALL BUSINESS MOVES. GROW UP MARIO-YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SPORTS/BUSINESS OR READING AN ARTICLE



    14. 14

      He was actually cut to make room for Jeff Garcia……



    15. 15

      Shut the hell up Perez- who cares. That man has done his time he shouldn't have to continue to have to pay for what he did- I hate dogs anyway! I love people!



    16. 16

      Who's running this team? Perez….do you have ANY authority to talk sports?? Do you even know HOW to play football? As and Eagles fan and a dog lover, I AGREE with you that it is tough to support such a criminal as Vick on my team….HOWEVER, from a business perspective….Hank is an AWFUL football player. He was merely wasting space on the sidelines as even if he DID stay with the Eagles, he was NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY ANYWAY.

      Just because he's a "celebrity"/bangs Kendra….does not make him a worthy football player.



    17. 17

      I guess they were thinking they want to win football games and this gives them the better chance to win.



    18. 18

      Booooooo! I don't think he should have been picked to where Hank got knocked off the team. Wrong on so many levels! Hank, hang in there… another team will pick you up!



    19. 19

      Perez…I love you, but Hank was NOT cut from the team to make room for Michael Vick…Donovan Mcnabb was hurt on Sunday and since Kevin Kolb SUCKS the eagles needed to sign a quarterbac, Jeff Garcia, that would be able to start since (1) Donovan is likely to be out for a while (2) Michael Vick is still ineligable and (3) Vick is still not ready to start in the quarterback position. Now I love Kendra and I love that she has always been an eagles fan and Hank seems like a really cool dude, but honestly, he's been terrible on the field which is unfortunate, but the NFL no matter WHAT TEAM is not going to hang on to someone if they aren't performing well. GO BIRDS!!!



    20. 20

      YES!!!1



    21. 21

      Nobody on this site knows a damn thing about football. I'm also surprised nobody on this site knows a damn thing about the American Justice system, because jail is a punitive measure. The time fits the crime, and once that is paid your debt to society (especially to Perez Hilton) has been paid.



    22. 22

      BOYC OTT THE EAGLES!



    23. 23

      Michael Vick is the worst kind of asshole. An animal murderer. The only thing worse is someone who kills children. He deserves nothing but to go to hell.
      He should never have been offered any sort of lucrative come back.
      Die asshole!!!
      This is disgusting!!!!!



    24. 24

      ugh! this just frustrates me so much! why is it that nice people always finish last? sure michael vick is probly the greatest quarter back of all time (if he picks up where he left off) but why would you get rid of a player that has been on the team and lands you a bigger fan base! i'm a girl and i absolutely looooove the eagles because of kendra and hank….but now i hate the because they have dog killers representing their team. whatever they gotta do i guess…..



    25. 25

      Perez Protest this "Dog Murderer" we all love dogs and this is not fair!

      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer
      Vick is a Dog Murderer



    26. 26

      Maybe Hank just isnt that good. Maybe they got rid of him, because, of him! I dont defend Michael Vick, but there were apparantly about 40 others better than Hank too, that did not get released.



    27. 27

      He was not dropped to make room for Vick. Vick still cant even play their QB has broken ribs and they need to have someone replace him. I think Philly is a little worried about using Vick. I dont think they want the backlash even though they do want to win games.



    28. 28

      This is just wrong. Micheal Vicks belongs in prison or dead. He is a monster. And quite frankly they have nerve cutting Hank for him. Like he will be a great addition to the team, can't wait for the protests and poor fan reactions to him.



    29. 29

      THAT IS TOTAL BULL SHIT



    30. 30

      Sadly Hank is only a handsome beautiful person inside/out. Sadly again not the best layer. WE all have to be realistic what count is $$$$$$. Sorry Hanky you are not that great of a player.



    31. 31

      I mean, its Mike Vick! what did you expect???



    32. 32

      You need to get your fact right. He really is not all that good. He only had six touchdowns in the 48 games he did play not alot of cathes or yards. And the first and sixth round pick were for his postion. So it was only a matter of time before he got cut. this was going to happen befpr Vick even got out of jail. And to make it worse he was on a reality show. Hopefully he will get picked up . I mean he good. But not great that what happens in the NFL. So get off Vicks dick because the man Vick's jersey is the fourth-highest seller in the NFL behind Brett Favre, Jay Cutler and Troy Polamalu. So someone most like him. I'm just sayin……



    33. 33

      BOO! no one likes the Eagles anyways.. and why the hell is MV allowed to come back to the NFL anyways? not cool.



    34. 34

      Football is a business. The roster spot was actually cleared for Jeff Garcia, not Vick.
      Vick is a better QB than Baskett is a Receiver. Has nothing to do with who is nicer.



    35. 35

      Hey doughboy. Leave the running of multimillion dollar business to the guys who have actually thrown a ball in their life. Hank Baskett sucks and Michael Vick, while what he did was fucked up, is a fantastic football player. God forbid the Eagles want to win football games and make more money.



    36. 36

      Very tough break for Mr. Baskett who is a standup guy. However, you wouldn't even give a shit about him if he wasn't married to Kendra. You don't even know a goddamn thing about football, so keep your big cake hole shut. The "dog murderer" thing is way old now, too. Michael Vick has heard it a billion times and from a football standpoint, the people in Philly aren't listening to it anymore either. So everyone is going to all of a sudden hate the Eagles because of ONE player? I bet if someone gave you and all the other haters a 10-question quiz about Michael Vick, you would fail miserably. That aside….best of luck to Hank Baskett in the future and GO EAGLES!



    37. 37

      Michael Vick served his time like so many other professional athletes & he deserves a second chance. Give him a chance to make something good out of his awful mistakes. As far as Hank Baskett, don't feel bad for him! He would've been gone from the Eagles roster eventually.. the "poor guy" will get picked up by some other team, especially with all the exposure he'll get from the reality show and his wife. Some other team will want him!

      Everyone's made mistakes, haven't you????



    38. 38

      How cruel of that guy, obviously money wins the game once again…



    39. 39

      Re: hateliars –
      BINGO!! THANK YOU!!!!!! Someone who not only knows what he/she is talking about but speaks the TRUTH!!!!!!! :-) ))



    40. 40

      wtfffffffffffffffffffffffff philly?!!? i barely watch football but i still know that this is f*ked up!



    41. 41

      Vick shouldn't be allowed to play anymore. Period. It takes a sick criminal person to do what he did.



    42. 42

      first off he wont get picked up..by another team, he was a third rate reciever, and he looked soft and unfit,and he wasnt very good…i see a divorce within the year, hell he was only making 450,000 a year anyway, she should divorce him for that, …cut=no pay, he doesnt have a gaurentee….mcdonalds is his next stop….for a job



    43. 43

      Perez—-they didnt cut Baskett for Vicks….he was already on the team. They cut Baskett to make room for another QB when Donovan got hurt….check your facts- im just saying.



    44. 44

      I wish Michael Vick had gotten his hands on Teddy Hilton before he was busted.



    45. 45

      the eagles just made themselves look like huge assholes. i hate football even more after this bullshit.

    46. REMO says – reply to this


      46

      Fuck off Perez. You have no business discussing football. Just because Hank is married to a Playmate whore, does not mean that he is a great football player. They had to make room for Garcia you asshat. A person's character (or lack of) has nothing to do with his athletic abilities. Perez you have no character, so i'm sure you can relate.



    47. 47

      Perez, fix your post. The real deal is that McNabb was hurt on Sunday and they had to cut Hank to make room for their newly signed qb "Jeff Garcia"…… They had room on the roster for both Vick and Hank until McNabb got hurt on Sunday!!!



    48. 48

      I think that just because Hank Baskett is going out with some fake white trash girl doesn't mean he deserves a roster spot over someone who is better than he is. Hank Baskett sucks and Micheal Vick deserves another chance and not to be judged by people who are racist to begin with.



    49. 49

      You don't know shit about football. So don't make posts about it. McNabb broke his rib, they needed room for Jeff Garcia. Baskett was expendable. Business is business. Vick was already on the roster no matter what.

      Stick to talking about shitty music and gaudy fashion.



    50. 50

      He was actually cut to make room for Jeff Garcia (he is married to a playmate and oddly enough he had actually been on an episode of girls next door) who was brought on because McKnab has a cracked rib.



    51. 51

      makes me SICK!!!



    52. 52

      Hank wasn't needed because the Eagles have better receivers. He was the SEVENTH best receiver on that team. The reality is, someone had to be cut to make room for Jeff Garcia. It was Hank because the Eagles are banking on rookie receivers, Jeremy Maclin and Brandon Gibson.

      Mario, you know less about sports than you do about musical talent or fashion. Actually, I take that back. Signing Sliimy to your new music label shows you know less about musical talent than anything.



    53. 53

      Re: westla13 –

      LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "shitty music and gaudy fashion"……GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!



    54. 54

      that is so messed up. Vick should burn in hell. sick bastard.



    55. 55

      The Eagles want to win and Basket hasn't done much for the team. Maybe you could stick to blogging about fashion, music and celebrities, and not football.



    56. 56

      It's about winning. Hank is the suck, so they dropped him. Duh…



    57. 57

      Please, Perez, stick with what you know………..celebrity trash.
      You know nothing of football, but you should at least know something about marketing. Vick will sell more jerseys and bring more revenue than some bench jock that married a slut.



    58. 58

      Disgusting.



    59. 59

      Michael Vick does not even qualify as a human being.
      It's nauseating that he steps out of prison & into a continuing, lucrative career.



    60. 60

      F- you perez. Leave Mike Vick alone. He served his time and is upholding his end of his probation. People get cut from teams all the time. Baskett is no exception– neither is T.O. and he was way better and more famous that Baskett ever was. The only reason you even know his name is because he is married to Kendra. You are such an ass and all the folks who think the same way as him, F you too.



    61. 61

      While Vick is a moron and giant idiot..Baskett was cut to make room for Jeff Garcia…



    62. 62

      Business… something which you obviously know nothing about… is business.



    63. 63

      no team even wanted him in a trade- maybe if he stayed off tv and focused on football… vick is 100x better and a bigger draw- all business.



    64. 64

      Fuck Vick! I can't believe they are letting him play again. ahhhh!



    65. 65

      This isn't entirely correct- Baskett was dropped so that they can add Garcia, another QB



    66. 66

      Honestly, just becasue you bought a damn dog last year doesnt all of a sudden make you the leader of PETA or give you a right to round up a lynch mob on this one man who already went to jail and will never be allowed to b around dogs ever. You don't even know anything about sports. You are trying to rouse the public into hating him forever which in my opinion is just as disgusting. You are a horrible instigator.



    67. 67

      Re: scottyk – Hey, I hate perez as much as the next person, but that was a little out of line. To the dog. And to all of the dogs Vick & co. murdered. Was not funny.



    68. 68

      another subject you no nothing about. he was released to make room for jeff garcia. stick to doing what you do best, being ugly, fat and a pedophile

    69. CAM5 says – reply to this


      69

      Perez, stick to celebrity gossip. McNabb is hurt and Vick is a good backup. Hank Baskett sucks! Hot wife though…



    70. 70

      I think if Perez had it his way, he'd cut Vick and sign Lady Gaga, Zac Efron, or any other POS's ass his tongue happens to up at the moment.



    71. 71

      Let's see how long Kendra "loves" him without a paycheck.



    72. 72

      1st- hank baskett sucks. 2nd- we cut him for Jeff Garcia not Michael Vick, get your facts straight before you try and slander an amazing football team that is just trying to win. I don't condone what he did AT ALL but the fact is he served his time and is going to help the city and young people of Phildelphia to address and get rid of this growing problem. Why don't you just never comment on sports cause you clearly know nothing about them besides who A-Rod is dating.



    73. 73

      It's about talent on the field, not behavior off the field. He wasn't helping the team on the field of play. End of story. You wouldn't keep employees that were not producing good work, even if you personally liked them. It's business, not personal!



    74. 74

      All of you saying that Baskett was dropped to add Jeff Garcia are wrong. Vick had to be activated and they need to drop Baskett to make space. You all that are saying that obviously don't watch sportscenter or look on ESPN.com, its on the front page.



    75. 75

      Ok get over it people, Mike Vick DID HIS TIME…. for what? Cruelty to animals? That is VERY sad and I do not condone his behavior, however, he did not hit and kill a HUMAN BEING while driving drunk…. Personally, I think HUMAN life is just a tad more important than a life of a VIOLENT DOG. And I think its BULLSHIT he spent 2 years in a MAXIUM SECURITY PRISON while a paticular HUMAL KILLER got slapped on the hand and got probation. Does anyone else not see something wrong with this picture. Vick is a damn good foorball player… and after all…. Hank will get picked up somewhere else I am sure. I don't see why this is even a big deal Perez…



    76. 76

      I know nothing about football, but I do feel bad for Hank. He seems like such a nice guy!



    77. 77

      Perez, Hank was a third string WR and it was the inevitable. NFL is a franchise, it's the way it is. If it wasn't MV they were making room for it would have been someone else. Either way, Hank's tenure at Philadelphia was coming to an end. He'll get picked up by someone else I'm sure.



    78. 78

      Re: Sampson –
      Well said!



    79. 79

      HE WAS NOT CUT TO MAKE ROOM FOR MICHAEL VICK, HE WAS CUT TO MAKE ROOM FOR JEFF GARCIA, AS DONOVAN MCBNABB IS INJURED. MAYBE TRY LISTENING TO SPORTS MORE OFTEN



    80. 80

      Vicks only sorry he got caught,such a role model ugh.



    81. 81

      Get your fact straight before you speak! Like everyone has said Hank wasn't cut for Vick. He was cut due to McNabb getting hurt & the need to sign a QB. Looks at Hank's stats… football is about business not who is a better person. win win win! Vick paid his dues. Maybe is Hank stepped up his game he'd still be on the team. Leave sports to the pros!



    82. 82

      Michael Vick (whom I deplore!) was already on their roster. They cut Baskett to make room for Garcia since McNabb was injured. Love ya Perez, but you're not a sports reporter.



    83. 83

      Re: Shawnuff – I know and people are still saying it….again BASKETT WAS CUT TO ACTIVATE VICK, Perez is right on this one….for fuck sake look on ESPN.COM, there is an article…hell there is even a video for you dumb fucks who don't understand.



    84. 84

      WTF…Perez, baby…why would you assume that? Maybe he's just not that good! PLUS Mike Vick's a QB not a WR….your post is false…shame on you Perez!



    85. 85

      This whole fucking Michael Vick thing is BULLSHIT. That is fucking RIDICULOUS.



    86. 86

      Get over it!!!!!!!



    87. 87

      They shouldn't have cut him because he dates a celeb? He sucked!! That's why you get cut.



    88. 88

      I think the Eagles want their players #1 priority to be making the team better and making themselves better players, not whoring themselves out to some ridiculous reality tv show with some fake looking chick. Who knows, now he can spend some quality time with his kid since he doesn't have job, and maybe is will make for some good reality tv for Kendra



    89. 89

      it was to make room for jeff garcia, you might want to make a correction.. plus Hank's a good player, he'll get picked up somewhere!



    90. 90

      This is VERY acceptable. Doesn't matter who you are, you can get cut and replaced from a team at any given time. Football is a business and this was a business decision. BTW Vick already served his time in jail. Let the man work without judgement.

      GO GIANTS!



    91. 91

      FU VICK! Basket will go to a MUCH better team.



    92. 92

      ok now i,m pissed.if the fans don,t freaken speak up and demonstrate then so be it! a talent like hank who is also a super kind human being let go whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?country is going down the toilet no what cares about doing the right thing anymore!



    93. 93

      Hank's luck should get worse as time goes on. He's married to a WHORE.



    94. 94

      Hanky isn't that great…..he was cut to make room for Jeff Garcia anyways you dimwit!
      GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FLY EAGLES FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    95. 95

      Perez - MY GOD YOU ARE STUPID!



    96. 96

      alright boys and girls relax and let's get our facts straight….he was not dropped bc the eagles picked up vick he was dropped bc the eagles picked up another quarterback jeff garcia…so take a chill pill and give vick a break….focus all your hatred on the people murdering and kidnapping people….and all of you peopl saying you wish he would die…well your not much better than any of them.



    97. 97

      LOL! this is hilarious



    98. 98

      You should get your facts straight before making harsh comments about a football star. Michael Vick already had a roster spot on the team. McNabb got hurt and for safety percausions they need to bring in a new quaterback ( Jeff Garcia) and to do this they have to free up a roster spot. You acquistions are completley rude. Dude served his time. This is old news.. let it go. This is so bad that you even had to try to make a post about this story.



    99. 99

      PEREZ, HE WAS CUT FOR JEFF GARCIA. DONT MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT FOOTBALL IF YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.



    100. 100

      Hank come here to Atlanta and help out…what is our football team again? The Vulturesf? Hawks? no that is our hockey team…anyway come to Atlanta! You're cute and a nice guy! Bring Kendra, she's funny.
