The Joy Of Victory & Agony Of Defeat - Hollywood Style
For those of you old enough to remember a show called Wide World Of Sports which featured various moments of joy in sports and the agony of defeat was a guy who fell off the end of a ski jump in a dizzying crash sure to have broken bones. Every week that athlete got to revisit his nightmare thanks to that intro to the show. Well, yesterday's Super Bowl had a celebrity attached to each team. For Indianapolis it was Hank Baskett who is the husband of former Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson and now reality stars of their own show. For The New Orleans Saints there is Kim Kardashian who is the girlfriend of Reggie Bush.
At the start of the second half, Hank had a chance to recover an onside kick. It was in his hands and then it wasn't. Apparently Kendra ran to where the television cameras could not see her, Hank didn't talk to the media after the game and Kendra was spotted in tears at the end of the game. Kim on the other hand was all smiles.

thank goodness Reggie didn't propose to Kim after she weaseled her way into the post game interview on NFL network...I was cringing the whole time and you could tell she was waiting for it!! Famewh*re!!
She's had a lot of work done, no?
UGH. Can't stand the Kardashian family, and am pretty upset that they'll be milking this for all it's worth.
The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that a win for NO might help the city some.
Underneath all her fame-whoredom, Kendra is more "real" than Kim. I have to admit that I felt bad for Kendra when I saw these photos.
So annoyed Reggie Bush was on the podium he did is not/was not an impact player. Even Shockey was on the ground which, as much as I loathe him, I can admit he made a difference by getting in the endzone. I will say again Reggie Bush is as draft bust! He is famous for his college years and dating someone who manages to get herself into any magazine/newspaper/blog while promoting her vapid lifestyle.
REALLY Sorry for the rant-- Drew Brees with his son- so cute and I am sure that everyone has seen this but this is what makes me happy about the Saints winning

I dont much care for football, much less the skankdashians, I feel bad for kendra lol
Blech. This is the downside of the Saints winning.
Now it will be fun to watch Reggie Bush not propose to Kim after she said they would get engaged if he won a superbowl.
LOL @Serena! I forgot about that! I bet he cried himself to sleep that night and NOT because he won!
Why is it when someone's team loses, the game sucked, and the officiating was bad? I guess it was a bad call when Manning threw that pick 6 in the fourth quarter. It was a competitive game, the refs did NOT impact the outcome. I love Jim Caldwell, and I respect the Colts organization. If they had played any other team, I would have been rooting for them.
It was the "thrill" of victory and the agony of defeat.
I think the ski-jumper was foreign (European), so fortunately probably did not have to re-live the moment every week.
Yup, here he is:

that photo of Kendra is heartbreaking. poor thing
i was pulling hard for the saints - i do feel for kendra though, tears give me the sads. someone probably reminded her, wayyyy too soon, about the onside kick bouncing off of hank.
I don't understand the crying Kendra. She didn't play in the game. Did Hank snap at her for ttrying to talk to him too soon after the game? And why would she bring an infant to the game?
It's just a game, Kendra. He won't be hauled out back and shot afterwards.
