Kendra Wilkinson's husband Hank Baskett is out of a job.
The Philadelphia Eagles released the star receiver, 27, to make room for Michael Vick on the team's 53-man roster.

The team said on its Web site that Vick, who had been on the exempt list, will begin practicing with the team on Wednesday. (Vick can't play in the first two regular-season games as a penalty for participating in a dogfighting ring.)

Wilkinson, 24, and Baskett wed in July and are expecting their first child together in December.

119Vick didn't just "make a mistake" he killed a bunch of innocent dogs. I think after you do that, you shouldn't be allowed to make tons and tons of money. Sorry but if you mess up that bad you kinda deserve to not live a good life again. And stop hatin on kendra. yall just hate her because she's makin more money than you and has a good life and you haters don't.
He lost his job but still got his mudshark ho. That coal burner will make him alot more money with alot less effort.
It was on the new Hank was let go for Michael Vick. Shame on the Eagles for doing that. Michael Vick is as low as you can get. What he did was terrible. The Colts have a good man,glad they picked up Hank. Don't think to many will be for the Eagles. Vick Sucks.
I am glad for the Colts. The Eagles are a lown down dirty team now because they pretty much got rid of a decent guy with good morals for a dirtbag and they did it with a baby on the way. Shame on the Eagles I hope their season sucks and guys want to quit. GO COLTS!!!!!!!!! The Eagles are CRUEL for ditching a good player with decent morals who also has a baby on the way for a no good low life like Vick. A leopard doesnt change it's spots.
Hank Baskett is no longer unemployed! The Indy Colts have just signed him!
the guy did the crime and the time, stop crying about his past...go vick!!
Love Hank and Kendra! Everything will be OK! Hank is awesome -- shame on the Eagles for ditching him for a felon. Hank will certainly be swooped up quickly. Best wishes to him and Kendra!
no anonymous I hate the Eagles I don't watch their games....i'd rather stare at a wall.
They're going to drop a expectant FATHER for a convicted felon --- a very cruel one at that?! This is astounding...and sickening. Michael Vick's career should be over. Shame on the NFL.
Im sure they picked Vick over Hank because of publicity. Of course everyone will be upset that Vick is playing now, hes a felon with a cruel past. Hank is only married to a woman who slept with a 90 year old. Im sure everyone will be tuning in to watch Vick hoping he screws up. They dont care WHY your watching the games as long as you KEEP watching them...
9:11am Anonymous Says: Its already a slap in the face to be released, but then to find out that you have been replaced by someone who should not even be allowed to return to the NFL makes it even worse. Hopefully another team will pick him up. ------------------------------------------------ I 100% PERCENT AGREE WITH YOU!
If he was white they would accept his apology!!!!
the Eagles SUCK....VICK sucks even more!
32 NFL teams, 53 guys on each team, do you really think all of them are squeaky clean? Wife abusers, drug addicts, prior felons, etc...Bet some of you have been busted before, DUI maybe?? Does that mean you should never work again or have a life?? Mistake, Bad Choice, whatever you want to call it! So maybe you never let him own an animal or work at an animal shelter, but that has nothing to do with him playing football!
Were they really? Did you see his first game and the majority of the fans were giving him a standing O! Get over it. Yes, this is ALL Business! If you had any idea how much these owners spend you would know they do it for the money and to win, its not to make everyone else watching morally happy!
anonymous 7:50 there was a story on yahoo when the Eagles signed Vick saying how upset eagles fans were...maybe you should read more than us weekly to keep up on current events. Maybe you are 1 of 100 fans that didn't care but the majority were upset.
WOW! Shame on the Eagles to drop a nice man because they chose to accept a convicted felon on their team. And to all those saying "It's just business" it's people like you that make this world such a f'ed up place to be! Whatever happened to morals and values?
when it comes to things like this you need to go with a moral decision rather than the "business" decision. so what if he wasn't that good of a player; the eagles now have a person on their team who used to torture dogs. he should have been put back on the job market like any other person would have been, and forced to fill out job applications where they ask if you've been convicted of anything and why. he definitely would not have a job for what he did. it's sick that people justify him being on the team because he's a good player, and just ignore all of the sick things he did to those helpless creatures. i judge the people who support him more than him sometimes.
You guys are all idiots! Yes, Vick messed up but he served his time! And if any of you really know football then you would know that Baskett is not a very good player, he was their 5th best receiver and might get another shot if another receiver or special teamer gets hurt. You can't keep him just because of Kendra!
Wow.. it's funny reading these comments.. Baskett is a no talent fourth year received on a team that runs the Wildcat offense. A mobile QB is necessary, and a hack WR is not. NFL Football is a business, not a popularity contest.
