It's been mentioned by several people already, which makes it a RandBall rule: it gets a post. Yes, the wife of newly acquired Vikings WR Hank Baskett is, indeed, Kendra Wilkinson (pictured, far right).

If you are uninformed on her exploits, perhaps we will trust Wiki in this case. Some key words/highlights from their writeup on Wilkinson (who also now goes by her married name, Kendra Leigh Baskett):

*Playboy pictorials.

*Girlfriend of Hugh Hefner at one time.

*Rumors that Hef would be the godfather of Hank and Kendra's baby (since denied).

*Her own reality series.

*Sex tape (wouldn't be this era of fame without it).

*Published a memoir titled "Sliding into Home."

*Genuinely loves Olive Garden and isn't afraid who knows it.

You say this was a move for wide receiver depth. Others say it was so much more.

After an injury- and penalty-filled experience at MetLife Stadium, any conversation about adding another game to the schedule should be punted to the moon.
