Hank Baskett Hysteria

[SD_Eagle5]

in all the years of Andy Reid being here...1 wide reciever has made a positive impact in his first year, Reggie Brown.

every other wideout they have drafted, including a bomb of a 1st round pick, has needed at least one season to learn this offense. 

but all of the sudden it's negative to apply logic and reasoning to what Hank Baskett is and will do this year.

It's not even a question of pessimism or cynicism in this forum.

It seems more to me that certain people are not only expecting him to fail but actually hoping for it.  That's what I can't stomach.

What's so unreasonable about being cautiously optimistic about Baskett, or any other rookie, for that matter?

Yeah, we can call it "Hank's Basket". That would be clever as shtein.

Ya see, the forum would be like a virtual "basket" were we'd deposit our very well thought out questions & Hank would then reach into this "basket" to reply. We could even add a wicker background & some cool basket clip art to the forum.



I'm surprised that no one else came up with this "Ask Hank" idea.

hmmm, still doesn't work for me.  how about "Hank's Forum for Answering Questions About Football and the Like" ?

No, no, no.

You do understand that Hank's last name is "Baskett".  Baskett.....basket....Baskett..basket.. get it?

[SunMo]

nope...still not getting it.  maybe it's just me, but i don't get all your voodoo wordplay.

Why are you even comparing Greg Lewis to Baskett when you know for a fact that Lewis is nearly, if not completely, worthless?

umm maybe because greg lewis as an undrafted player was also at one time getting overrated and hyped up the same way baskett is now

in training camp and preseason dont beleive everything you see and hear...especially when 99% of the trends tell you so

undrafted wr's
rookie wr's
eagle rookie wr's
eagle wr's
undrafted rookie eagle wr's

and on and on and on and on and.....

Greg Lewis was never as hyped up as much as Baskett has been.
