Message to Hank Baskett

First, some music for you to listen to: Layla by Derek and the Dominos:

Heard this in the gym today and was reminded of Eric’s brilliance.

This weekend, reserve Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett married former Playboy playmate and Hugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkerson this weekend. So much wrong with that sentence. I’ve decided to address Hank and count the ways why this wasn’t maybe the best move for him.

Hank, this is not smart for you because:

-You’re a professional athlete. The fidelity rate for you guys are not the strongest. Between the amount of money you make, the time on the road, women throwing themselves at you. Its not a good recipe for a long-lasting relationship.

-You’re a reserve wide receiver. Hank, you’re actually not a bad player but its not like you’re tearing up the league right now. This isn’t the time to get married, especially in a free agency year. You need to be hitting the gym, getting your mind right for training camp and earning that money. Going on your honeymoon isn’t the correct move right now.

-You’re a good looking guy. From a heterosexual prospective, you’re not ugly. Its not like you’re going to not find another woman.

-You’re a nice guy. I read this interview you recently did with E! online: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b129399_Hank_Baskett_Talks_Kendra__the_Baby_and_Hef_.html. You seem like a nice guy who has no clue what he’s getting into. Women love that stuff. The nice guy part, not the clueless part.

-You’re 26. You should never, ever get married before you turn 30.

-You’re marrying Kendra. I hope you know what you’re getting into because based on her past, and I don’t want to call your new wife a dirty girl, but she’s a dirty girl. Between the relationship with Hugh, constantly flashing her breast and other lady parts in public, general mannerisms, just be careful. I’ve seen most of Girls Next Door and now the Kendra TV shows. Just saying. Why the rush to get married?

-You knocked her up. Maybe that’s the rush. Its one thing to marry her but to impregnate her? Not smooth. So now when the divorce happens, and trust me Hank, its happening, you have to deal with a kid.

I’ve always said that a divorce is just an expensive breakup but when kids are involved, problems arise.

Really, I hope all works out for you. Love is a beautiful thing but you just have to be careful.

Hope that helped.
