Baskett To Become A Colt!

Filed under: Zportz > Kendra Wilkinson

wenn2168139hb.jpg

We knew this would happen!

After being released by the Philadelphia Eagles, A MUCH better NFL team has acquired Hank Baskett and he is signing his contract with the Indianapolis Colts this morning!

Apparently the Colts were in the market for a wide receiver and were eager to have Baskett join the team.

Fine choice, especially since the man has a new wife, a baby on the way, and a reality show. Talk about good publicity.

Congrats, Hank, we're sure Kendra is plea$ed, too!

    Welcome to the Greatest team!!



  2. 2

    Well see, it worked out well for your boy, Perez! He went straight from D-list to A-list, in a day!



  3. 3

    perez dont talk about football you already look like a jackass with your rooster haircut and stupid shirt to match. talk all you want about celebrities but dont think you have the knowledge to discuss football.



  4. 4

    Yay! Go COLTS! Welcome Hank and Kendra to Indy!



  5. 5

    mario, your such an azz today.. need morning cup of joe ?



  6. 6

    How the FUCK would YOU know anything about football! You orange haired fruitloop, why don't you go blow Artie Lange!



  7. 7

    Could celebs and sports stars PLEASE stop making all the stupid signs in pictures. Are you too fucking insecure to just pose or smile? If you aren't in some gang then enough with the stupid signs, this guy looks like as big a douchebad as Samantha Ronson when she does it. Just smile for the camera idiot.



  8. 8

    Good for him. I felt like he got a raw deal when I read that report yesterday.



  9. 9

    Wow, P! You know as much about football as you do about fashion!! Good Job!



  10. 10

    as an eagles fan…. #1 eagles are an awesome team, #2 he was not really that much of a help on the eagles….. not a game changer or big play maker… cya!



  11. 11

    god you are an idiot. like you really shouldnt talk about things you dont understand. any type publicity like that creates problems in the locker room. its never good. dumping a shitty receiver for a pro bowl quarterback = upgrade



  12. 12

    They signed him because Gonzalez, one of their starter WR is injured and can't play until October, don't think when Gonzalez comes back that Hank won't be back on watching on the sidelines.



  13. 13

    As a Philadelphia native, I do think it's ashame that he has a new family and we dropped him, HOWEVER, please do not say that Indy is a better team simply because they picked him up. you don't mention once how many dropped passes he had and the fact that he couldn't connect with a soul who threw to him. He wasn't working for us and he had to move on. If he's such a catch, tell me why he wasn't traded and they just dropped him? Because no one wanted him and got him on the cheap!



  14. 14

    looks like a veryy veryy tall masculine figure is hiding under them sweats.. git it kendra! git it kendra! git it kendra! bahahaha



  15. 15

    please school yourself on football before you announce the colts are a better team. Eagles may have signed a personally high end d-bag but they sure as hell know what they are doing. Being an huge baskett fan, it is still the right move. He just doesnt cut it.



  16. 16

    It's easy to kick an Eagles fan when we are down…. we're always down.



  17. 17

    and your a dick



  18. 18

    I agree stop talking about football when u have no fucking clue which team is better. Baskett never did anything in philly and that's why they prob traded him. The colts are just using him because of the injury and then he'll be back to being 3rd or 4th string.



  19. 19

    Re: dinkle – Hey, I say Indy is a better team, well because they simply are. Has nothing to do with this guy. Just a fact.



  20. 20

    who says the colts are better? were they in a division championship last year? no, but the eagles are. i love reading this site, but stick to what you know. i stress, once again, that football is business it's not personal.



  21. 21

    COLTS SUCK!
    GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!



  22. 22

    FUCK YOU PEREZ

    E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  23. 23

    Love the Colts and Peyton!!! (even if I am a Titans fan)



  24. 24

    And so begins thelife of another journeyman wide out. This guy sux and will eventually end up in Detroit or KC, wherever players go before leaving league in shame



  25. 25

    good the much better team just got worse because he sucks!!!! catch a pass and then you can be known as a reciever



  26. 26

    the colts blow. and as much as i love kendra, hank isn't very good. bye bye, baskett!



  27. 27

    guess what perez hank baskett sucks and he didnt do anything for the eagles and he isnt gonna do anything for the colts either!! hes just an average player and that's all he'll ever be! were happy to have him leave :)



  28. 28

    philadelphia hates you perez



  29. 29

    Dont pick a fight with a Philly fan…well kick your ass….fuck the colts…



  30. 30

    Watch football before you talk about it. Football is business… Its not about signing the nicest player its about signing the best players to win! MONEY MONEY MONEY! WIN WIN WIN! Stick to what you know… thanks!



  31. 31

    Hes gay!



  32. 32

    being a STEEELERS fan, i do have to limit my eagles praise… but they are a team to be reckoned with this season…



  33. 33

    This is really a great move! Indiana is such a lovely place! I will now consider looking at property there. Supporting my gal pal Kendra LOVE YA!!!!!!!



  34. 34

    FANTASTIC. Can't wait to see the first game he plays in.



  35. 35

    he's only famous for fucking the girl next door!



  36. 36

    so he drops the ball somewhere in the midwest, big deal.

  37. Pibb says – reply to this


    37

    Now Perez, you know you don't know or care about football. The only thing you know about Philly is they signed Vick.



  38. 38

    what philly did was an UPGRADE. damn dont talk sports please.



  39. 39

    It's football not soccer, but Perezee doesn't know the diff!



  40. 40

    I'm pretty sure the NFL and the Colts have enough marketing power that they don't need to sign some guy because him and his bimbo wife have a reality show together you retard



  41. 41

    Kendra is a used up pig of a whore. Just like you, Perez!



  42. 42

    He definitely traded up! Looks like I'll be seeing Kendra out post baby! haha! He should feel honored since the COLTS are the best team in the NFL! woot woot!



  43. 43

    Perez, you know NOTHING about football! The Colts are not a better team and Basket is NOT that good. Stop acting like you know anything about football, and stick to gossip and fashion. But even your fashion decisions are questionable.



  44. 44

    Thats awsome!!!! Go Colts!!



  45. 45

    Perez Hilton. I have supported you for years now. And at this point I have to finally agree with the masses that you are an insecure and ignorant asshole. You are not God. Your opinions mean nothing. People read your site simply because they have nothing else to do to fill their time at work….your site and opinions are equivalent of mindless reality shows. No one likes them…they just watch them to make fun of the people.

    This is now the second time you've commented on the Eagles and Hank Baskett. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT. The Colts are smart to sign Baskett BC HE HAS A WIFE AND BABY AND TV SHOW?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING DELUSIONAL!?!?!?! The NFL and its fans could give a fuck less about that. You only sound ridiculous and stupid making comments about something you know nothing about.

    Stick to the shit u know about….like whos dating who on the Hills.



  46. 46

    perez..SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY!! The only thing you know about football teams is how to take it up the ass from one. Hank Baskett IS NOT A GOOD PLAYER, that is why he was released (yes to allow Mike Vick to play but shows you he was expendable). GO EAGLES!!!!



  47. 47

    Good move Baskett! It's been 1960 since Ealgle won a ring. I'm suprised they still have fans!

  48. SuzyP says – reply to this


    48

    Perez,

    I love you BUT you know nothing about football. The Colts are certainly not a better team than the Eagles. Just letting you know.

    :-)

  49. SuzyP says – reply to this


    49

    Re: steffi33 – agreed. Bye Bye Baskett!



  50. 50

    I agree with donkeypunch. Perez, love you to pieces but I'm guessing you know zip about football. Maybe im assuming too much, but please. the colts? Philly is and always will be the best sports city in the nation.



  51. 51

    Welcome to Indiana Hank from a HUGE Colts fan!! I can't wait to see you in the blue and white!!!!! =)



  52. 52

    Reading your comments on football is entertaining. You know NOTHING.



  53. 53

    Stay away from sports, Mario. You're making a big enough fool of yourself with fashion and new musical talent. You don't need to stray into sports to dig yourself in any deeper.



  54. 54

    And there you have it. I'm happy for him.

    And go PATS!!!!!

  55. cdv says – reply to this


    55

    U fucking idiot- the Eagles cut him because he was a waste of a roster spot. He isn't that good.



  56. 56

    Welcome to the A list Baskett!
    The Eagles: Where not winning a superbowl is our tradition! I'm a Colts fan and I am definitely biased, but who the hell would ever say the Eagles are better? Are you delusional? Is it drugs?!

    The Eagles have been to the Superbowl TWICE since they formed in 1933 (and lost)! The Colts have been numerous times (and actually won) and they were formed in 1953 (in Baltimore). The Eagles had a twenty year advantage. The Colts are also the first team to beat every other NFL team. Wtf, the Colts rock. Maybe not THE best, but definitely NOT better than the Eagles.

    Maybe now he's actually playing for a good team, he'll be able to work on his talent :/ Hmmm…



  57. 57

    definitely better than the eagles, fer reals. Wrote so much messed up my own post.



  58. 58

    yeah! happy for them colts are better….vick is a prick!



  59. 59

    Re: steffi33Re: Cyber-bullies get hit – Hey if you guys are sick of mcnabb we'll(The Lions) take em off your hands!



  60. 60

    really? I mean really perez, I love yah but you can't get sports involved in this one. Regardless of who he married, Hank Baskett is a third string "butter finger" reciever. the eagles made the right move, deal with it.



  61. 61

    WOW SHUT THE FUCK UP PEREZ AND HOW DARE U PUT A X ON BRIAN DAWKINS PHILLY JERSEY!!! HOW DARE YOU!! HE IS ONE OF THE BEST SAFTEY"S IN THE NFL!!!!! SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING OF!!!YOU KNOW NOTHING OF FOOTBALLL! YOUR A DICK!!! STOP TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL WHEN YOU KNOW NOTHING!!! DID YOU KNOW THAT BASKETT LOVES THE EAGLES AND THE TEAM AND WISHED HE COULD HAVE SSTAYED!!!!!!! MUCH BETTER TEAM MY ASS YOUR A IDIOT! THE EAGLES ARE THE TOP THREE TEAMS IN THE NFL THE COLTS ARE NO WHERE NEAR YOU DUMB ASS!! YOU ONLY CARE CUZ OF KENDRA!! STOP TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL WHEN YOU KNOW NOTHING DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT HIS STATS ARE OR WHERE HE WENT TO SCHOOL?NO SO SHUT THE FUCK UP! STICK TO YOUR CELEBRITY GOSSIP!!!!! AND BTW THIS WAS YESTERDAY NEWS YOU CANT EVEN KEEP UP WITH THE NFL!!! LEAVE THE FOOTBALL NEWS TO THE TEAMS AND THE NFL! YOU FUCKING MORON!!



  62. 62

    don't you EVER bad mouth the eagles. go be useless on the colts. and perez, keep talkin like you know anything about football



  63. 63

    Stick to talking what you know about Perez….and it ain't football! 1st off the Eagles are a badass team and they aquired a better player by letting Baskett go….I love Kendra and I liked Hank on her show….but truth be told…Hankie ain't all that on the field! When Anthony Gonzales returns….Hank will probably be back on the sidelines!!!!!



  64. 64

    Hank Baskett did NOTHING for the eagles. Why the f would they keep him? So what if he has a baby on the way? That means nothing. He barely touches the ball, so he's gotta go!



  65. 65

    lol wow you people come on here to dis Perez, F'n lame %$#es. I hope all is well for him and Kendra!!! I hope they will stay together.



  66. 66

    hank baskett sucked, and perez… like others said, don't talk about football. you clearly have NO IDEA what you're talking about especially since your head is so far up the hermaphrodite caca's ass 24/7. i doubt you've ever watched a game in your life.



  67. 67

    Yey! GO COLTS!!!!!!



  68. 68

    A 'MUCH better team' my a$$



  69. 69

    love you perez but im pretty sure that the eagles have made it to the playoffs like 5 times in the last 9 years



  70. 70

    Lock up your Beagles, Vick's playing for the Eagles!



  71. 71

    He still cant catch a football



  72. 72

    Go Colts! You couldn't possibly do any better! Go Blue!



  73. 73

    Perez… I love you and all… but please stop ranting your opinions about football when you really don't know anything about the topic! Hank was their 4th receiver in PA's line up… they didn't they could afford to drop him, and they needed to drop someone to get another back up QB. The Colts are a great team… but last year PA was the better team. And with the QB situation they have going on it looks like this year they will again be the better team. You are hi-larious when it comes to celebrity gossip, but your football knowledge is just not up there with the guys on PTI, Around the Horn, Sports Center, and Jim Rome. Leave the sports opinions to them.



  74. 74

    perez you dont know SHIT about football. the colts are NOT a MUCH BETTER team how DAREEEE you. see ya in the superbowl suckkaas



  75. 75

    You screaming queen , what do you know about football other that to get into a three point stance. Eagles are better than the colts and the city is better for not having that crab infested ex playmate around



  76. 76

    congrats to him - he seems like a very decent guy.



  77. 77

    Re: Cyber-bullies get hit – lolololol !!!! Love it !!!!!!!



  78. 78

    Doesn't it seem just a bit "girly" that so many of the supposed hard-core football fans above read/blog on Perez's site?????
    -
    I'm just asking . . . .



  79. 79

    Perez, I agree with everyone else here that you have no clue about football. That being said, the Colts are most definitely a better team. Ever heard of Peyton Manning? Philly is a good team also though, and who knows what will happen with Vick there now. Besides, Hank is just a filler. Once Gonzalez is back, Hank will deservingly be benched.



  80. 80

    Perez, Lady Gaga isn't going to the Colts….Hank Baskett is. Stop kissing ass.



  81. 81

    perez, it's REALLY dumb to pick a fight with eagles fans. you better watch your back if you ever step into my town. violence is never the answer, unless someone fucks with our sports. god i hope you get your ass kicked. too bad your shitty tour isn't coming to philly…..



  82. 82

    Aw, their baby can grow up in the midwest; that should be good.



  83. 83

    Re: LULU~* – Are you saying that hard core football fans cant read celebrity gossip? There are girls out there love football just as much as a guy and can still have their girly side? Like me hun i know more about football then most guys but im still a girl and i still have my girly side? And guys can love football too and still read about celebrity gossip and everyone is pissed cuz perez knows nothing of football and yet he talks about it like he does? Why do u care if some ppl who like football defend the nfl and its teams and players?



  84. 84

    WTF you mean a MUCH better team? what the fuck do you know about the Eagles and Colts?



  85. 85

    awwww thats good…i love these two



  86. 86

    Re: dinkle – wow. good arguement there. he said indy's a better team because, well, they are. everybody knows that.



  87. 87

    Welcome to a better team with a MUCH better QB. With the help of Peyton and Addai, Baskett will be the best Wide Receiver in the NFL!



  88. 88

    Perez PLEASE!! I usually agree with you, however I have to say that I have never once seen you post about football, I am happy that Hank was picked up by another team, but Philly is a very good football team and as a fan I was disappointed to see him go, but do understand the rational behind it. So pleas dont go making such sweeping acusations as you have no clue about football, stick to celebs and what not.



  89. 89

    Welcome to Indy Kendra! Congratulations Hank, welcome to the greatest team in the NFL!



  90. 90

    PEREZ YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT…THE EAGLES ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE COLTS YOU DUMBASS…WE'VE MADE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS AND THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP MORE THAN THE COLTS YOU JACKASS…DONT TALK SPORTS WHEN YOU KNOW SHIT



  91. 91

    they prolly thought by havin hank on the team it will grow a big crowd and getm ore publicity with the tv show and kendra bein there



  92. 92

    How are the Colts a MUCH better team? Riddle me that, Mr. football expert.



  93. 93

    yea for real, dont talk football..stick to celebrities. MUCH better team?? did you know that the eagles made it to the championship last year- and one game from the SUPERBOWL?? did the colts even come close to where the eagles got? nope!!! know your facts.



  94. 94

    Re: greece – True. Unfair generalization on my part.
    -
    It was just odd how many football fans wanted to take Perez down for not being a fan/having in-depth knowledge of current teams. Just struck me as weird.



  95. 95

    Philly shouldn't have realeased him but i'm glad another team picked him up.. And what do you know about football Mario???



  96. 96

    Being a Philly fan..Perez shut up about Football, you have no clue. Baskett really did nothing to help the team, so see ya later. The Colts will use him the same as the Eagles, he will never be a high profile receiver, the only reason YOU even know who is is because of Kendra. I'm happy my boy Desean Jackson is in Philly, but you wouldn't know who is because he isn't on E!
    E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!!



  97. 97

    Oh Yeah, Love the Boo pointing to the Eagles fan wearing A DAWKINS jersey, if you knew anything you would know he left the team in the OFF SEASON to go to Denver. Not saying I was happy he left, but you make yourself look like an idiot.



  98. 98

    he is just so sexxii



  99. 99

    The only reason you are saying the Colts are a better team is because Philly picked up Vick, this could have been any of the other teams who were recruiting him..its time to get over it!!! As a huge Hank Baskett fan Im sad to see him leave but he really didn't do much for us..good luck in Indy but I don't see him getting too much playing time…GO BIRDS!!!!
