Doesn't bode well for any VJ trade RT @JuddZulgad: WR Hank Baskett is on his way to the Twin Cities and the plan is for him to sign on Weds.

Well, if marrying a Playmate, muffing a Superbowl winning onside kick, making millions and generally being a terrible WR makes you bad at football...please sign me up. It's good work if you can get it.

Hank has had his moments. He's never going to be a #1 in the league but I always thought he was a good depth guy and guy who can be used on special teams.

Haha I wasn't saying that he doesn't have it good. I was just saying that he is not a good reciever.

I know its kinda old news now, but just read a good article about the whole Sainz/Jets incident, linked by Peter King(but written by a woman). Makes some solid points.

Google "Ines Sainz" and you can find Ines Sainz in bathing suits and provocative evening wear.

Who hasn't done that already?

The whole situation just shows how immature the Jets locker room is. Who are the captains? Who are the leaders? In the story above McNabb stood up and took care of it.

On the radio the other day Jody Vance (ex-Sportsnet) was telling a story about the first time she walked into a dressing room was with the Canucks. She had covered the team for a few years but never in the locker room. She walked in, a few players who knew her well made some comments like "oooooh, look at the pretty one in here now!" Trevor Linden immediately stood up and said "That's the last I'll hear of these type of comments in this dressing room. Treat her with respect or you'll have to go through me".

Our great captain, Iginla or ANY captain would have stepped up. This is 2010, not 1980. The reason this is a big story is because of the lack leadership from Rex Ryan himself.

I get your point, and I agree, but it's also a matter of them seeing right through the 'reporter' facade that Sainz puts out there. She isn't a reporter, her behavior at past Super Bowls makes that quite apparent. She's a good looking girl who gets ratings and views because of it. Nothing wrong with that, but let's not pretend she's trying to be Ted Koppel. This couldn't have gone better for her. I think it was a matter of the Jets recognizing that she wasn't there to be a professional like the reporters that always cover them, and they took that opportunity to act like a bunch of high school kids. And don't forget this happened at a point in the year where these guys have been locked down with 80 other dudes for weeks on end, that makes you act crazy. 4's become 9's.

Now regardless of all of that you're right, the Jets should never have allowed this situation to occur, and the general mentality around that team seems to be quite permissive of this type of behavior. My point is that this probably doesn't happen if Erin Andrews, or another female reporter that's actually a respected professional, shows up at a Jets practice.

Doesn't this get back to the bloggers and press pass argument in the hockey thread? If she's not a professional and a joke then don't let her in. If she's allowed in, she has to be treated as a reporter.

This is a little different in that she's accredited by an actual news organization, which technically makes her no different than Barbara Walters. It's her behavior at issue, not her title or who she works for. Nobody will ever convince me that she is a journalist, she simply isn't. She's a pretty face with painted on jeans, a low cut top and a microphone. I'm sure she fills her role well, but let's not pretend that we don't know exactly what her role is.

This isn't to say the Jets should have acted as they did, you're right she should be treated as any other reporter. I guess it comes down to the notion that the way you act dictates the way you will be treated. Act unprofessionally, get treated unprofessionally. It doesn't excuse professional athletes from acting like high school kids, but it certainly prevents me from being the least bit outraged by the situation. And I absolutely hate the Jets, I will take any opportunity to curse them and laugh at their misfortune.

[Jesse834]

I think she got what she deserved. She said so herself she presents herself that way because she wants to be know as the sexiest female reporter or whatever call her that is Mexican.

I agree. I think both parties are at fault here. The Jets clearly shouldn't be cat-calling any reporter like that. But she also should dress and act a little more professional if she wants to be treated as such. I thought Ashley Fox (who wrote the article) summed it up best when she said "If you want to be treated like a girl at a bar, dress like a girl at a bar. If you want to be treated professionally and without incident, cover up."

When a pretty girl dressed in unbelieveably tight jeans and a low-cut shirt walks into a dressing room full of millionaire alpha males, the rest kind of writes itself.

Anyone who has wondered about what Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens think of Sarah Palin need not wonder anymore. The two Bengals receivers discussed the one-time vice presidential candidate on their television show "The T.Ocho Show."
