It appears the Indianapolis Colts are signing Hank Baskett, husband of Playboy model and former Girls Next Door celebrity Kendra Wilkinson, to fill the void left by the injury to slot receiver Anthony Gonzalez. While the move would add at least one attractive female to the players' wifes and girlfriends seating section, it's not good news for a former Bakersfield College standout.

Receiver Taj Smith, who briefly was Bakersfield College's all-time and single-season receptions leader, was an early favorite to be activated. He'll likely maintain his spot on the Colts' practice squad but for guy trying to make it in the NFL getting passed over by a guy off the street has to be a humbling experience.

In case you missed the brief in Thursday's sports, Bakersfield High graduate Rodney Wright was released from the Kansas CIty Chiefs practice squad on Wednesday. Wright has an ArenaBowl Championship ring with the San Jose SaberCats, and was hoping to land a spot with the Chiefs as a kick returner/receiver.

Sorry folks, I'm not linking to any Kendra Wilkinson photos. But it's not like they're hard to find on any search engine.
