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

hank.jpg

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!

      Re: BunnySix13 – Clear example of $$$$ over morals at any cost. Regardless of his athletic ability, and "TIME SERVED" (fuk anyone too btw who thinks that is sufficient for the crime)he should NEVER be allowed to be in a position that aligns itself with that of the title ROLE MODEL. He is a murderer. People who kill people would never get the opportunity again, so why should he. Heaven knows how many dogs really suffered by his handiwork. Get real people and forget the almighty dollar and title. If the Eagles need a player THAT bad, they need to hang it up!!! It repulses me to think people would put THE GAME above EVERYTHING else. What's next? Serial killers too?

      Being from Pennsylvania, I am proud of the eagles and the steelers. i love both teams. I do not like Michael Vick only because what he did to those poor dogs. It's disgusting. But he did do time in prison and hopefully learned his lesson. Being on a football team and actually playing won't let people forget what he did. Sad but let's just watch some football already. Sad for Hank tho. It's not right. Hank would of been great :-)

      Unconscionable. His teammates will not even want to play with him

      whatever perez…if hank could catch a freakin football, he wouldnt have gotten cut…wtf do you know about football? the eagles have way more talented receivers, he's fifth on the depth chart…love your site but why dont you look up some stats before you spout out bs…got off kendra's dick



    5. 205

      perez you dont know what you are talking about. Hank was let go because of Jeff Garcia being signed. Pluse Hank is not that great of a Wide out. Who cares anyway, if the eagles cut someone to make room for Vick so be it. He is a good football player. What he did was horrible but he paid his time and paid a lot of money also. So just relax and dont worry about sports.



    6. 206

      THIS IS NOT TRUE! Baskett got cut because he was not one of the better receivers on the team and they needed to sign a new quarterback (Jeff Garcia), because their starting quarterback got injured (Donovan Mcnabb).

      THIS STORY IS PARTIALLY MADE UP! Vick has been on the team…..

      AND they are signing a new QB so that Vick WON'T Start as the Eagles QB!

      I don't like the Eagles….but I don't want anyone making things up about them!



    7. 207

      When a player on a team is not that good, he usually gets cut. The Eagles have a good rookie wide receiver, theyve been trying to trade Baskett for a bit, noone wants him so they cut him….simple as that

      and he was cut to make room on the roster for Jeff Garcia, the team signed Michael Vick almost a month ago………….



    8. 208

      Everyones comments are making me angry, I'm a really good guy, that doesn't mean that I can help a professional football team win a super bowl. I'm sure Hank is a good guy and I wish him the best, but that does not make the Eagles bad for not needing him….



    9. 209

      your an idoit don't comment on sports vick is an dynamic player and at best Baskett is a good player on the special teams if your so offened by that you should fault the rams for actually employing a man who commited manslaugter seriously people only consider retards cute when they compete is the special olympics



    10. 210

      Re: leo32

      his teammates fully support him.



    11. 211

      Re: BunnySix13

      hmmmmm…really? i didn't know individual teams can decide who plays in the NFL ???

      i believe the NFL reinstated michael vick…. get your facts straight before you talk shit.

      oh and don't hate on philly just cause you can't hang there…



    12. 212

      I don't give a flying fuck about who's a better player and who's not. THIS IS DISGUSTING



    13. 213

      How many people that have posted here actually follow football? You say you want talent in Cincinnati, but I'm pretty sure you have one of the best WR in the league. Are you not happy with Ochocinco? That is besides the point. Vick is faster than Baskett, quicker than Baskett, he can throw further than Baskett, probably can jump higher, and is way more athletic than Baskett will ever be. How many people know that Vick was drafted by the Rockies when he was in HS, even though he hadn't played baseball since the 8th grade. It is because he is an amazing athlete. Everyone who says Vick is nothing compared to Baskett is using jaded judgment because of what he has done. Vick is one of the best athletes in the NFL, and nobody can take that away from him.



    14. 214

      Next year when Dante Stallworth comes back into the league, is he going to receive the amazing welcome that everyone here is giving Baskett, or is he going to be ridiculed by the people on this site who know absolutely nothing about anything.

      I still can't believe that someone actually said the only thing worse than killing an animal is killing a baby. How about rape you dumbasses… Ignorance is rampant among places like this.



    15. 215

      Obviously Perez doesn't know shit about football, but Hank sucks compared to other receivers on the Eagles team. Although, Vick being a complete d-bag, he does attract more attention.

      Perez needs to see this like the media! Who would Perez rather write a blog about, some boring actress (Hank) or Linsay Lohan (Vick)… exactly!



    16. 216

      nofreakinway is right this is bs mj is being idolized when we all know he touched little boys



    17. 217

      hank would be a great asset to the steelers



    18. 218

      Re: devil dog dad – He would never play, nor would he touch the ball. The steelers have a very set team with a lot of players that have been together for a while. He would just ride the pine.

      Re: hxcgossip – Oh sooo sorry HXC - I meant to say they are assholes for signing him AFTER being reinstated. Not too sure how anyone can respect him. Forgiveness, possibly AFTER he's proven himself. All he is right now is a poor excuse of a human who plays a sport well. If thats what the NFL thinks is an acceptable Role Model, we are all in trouble. All it does is send a message to younger, more impressionable fans, that do whatever you like, get a slap on the wrist and we'll take you back right where you were. Come on, you actually think he DESERVES that option again? I'm not saying do not forgive him, but I do not feel he should be in the public arena as a role model. What he did was a horrific disgusting crime OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I don't care what lines he reads — or what he preaches about — let him do it without having the priviledge of being glorified in the NFL. P.S. I have nothing against Philly, just the Eagles Management. I can "hang" where ever I choose. Grow up.



    20. 220

      For obvious reasons I know you know nothing about football…if you did, you would know that Hank Baskett sucks. Mike Vick can…you know…actually contribute to the team.



    21. 221

      He's already signed a year contract with the Colts.



    22. 222

      hank is hot!!!



    23. 223

      THAT'S BULLSHIT!!!!



    24. 224

      Michael Vick is a dog murderer and deserves nothing but contempt. People that murder dogs (or any defenseless animal) are just pathetic pieces of shit.



    25. 225

      He was actually not directly cut to sign Vick…he was cut to make room for quarterback Jeff Garcia…but Vick was also added to the 53 man roster yesterday as well. I still dont agree with it though.



    26. 226

      thats wrong.

      michael vick has been on the team since july,
      it was to make room for jeff garcia.

      perez put that to make people fluster.
