Boldin making a lil noise

BOLDIN ADDRESSES MESS IN THE DESERT

Posted by Mike Florio on August 18, 2008, 8:47 p.m.

Earlier on Monday, we reported that Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin and coach Ken Whisenhunt aren’t talking.  And now Boldin has confirmed the absence of a relationship with his boss.

“At this point we have no relationship, and I don’t see that changing,� Boldin told NFL Network.  “It’s just gotten to a point where I think lines were crossed.  If you ask me, coaches should be coaches, management should be management, and I don’t think those lines should be crossed.  But when you cross those lines, you put yourself in postiion for things like this to happen.�

Boldin is referring to his perception that Whisenhunt took and active role in his contract talks.  Complicating matters is that Boldin believes the organization (Whisenhunt included) “lied� to him regarding whether he’ll get a new deal.

But he says that his feelings won’t affect his performance on the field.  “I can be productive on the field but that’s as far as it goes,� Boldin said.  “I will try to detach myself from the organization as much as possible.  As long as I’m here, I can’t see myself as a happy member of this organization at all, not with this situation being what it is.  I don’t see it being rectified, either.  The relationsip with me and the organization is done.  I’m here to uphold my contract, that’s it.�

This doesn't really surprise me. The shocking part was that the Cards paid Fitz. Boldin is gonna get outta there for sure, hopefully here.

I don't know if I want to see a cry baby like him come here.   He's a good player, but what a whiner!

Any worse than Simms? I don't think so. At least Boldin can play.

Sounds like a common theme among NFL players these days.

Really?   Sit Bolden on the bench for a year and see if he isn't worse.   Simms was complaining about not getting to play.    You can't compare the 2.

Haha…watch he becomes available and we are 1 of 2 teams interested and it looks like we’re the favorites….only for our crown jewels to be kicked once again as we ponder why we didn’t land him.  We find a report that Allen offered Simms and a 4th.

[JavaBuc]

Simms and a 4th for the guy?   Ok, I'm interested in him then.

[Lamond]

Why would the Cards want Simms? They already have 2 real Qb's out in the desert.

[JavaBuc]

Hey, they picked up Shaun King in the past.   Anything can happen out there.

[Badabing]

Guys it was sarcasm on my part.  I was simply stating you better believe we will be one of the teams in reports rumored to be interested and we may even get as close as the “favre situation� but in the end Allen will toss just another low ball offer.

The only way we get Boldin is if he becomes a free agent.  Allen isn’t going to trade high draft picks away.

Sad, but true.  Sure we'll be interested, but Allen will come with a super low ball offer.

It'll probably cost around 2 1st rounders for him......and I wouldn't have a problem making that trade.

Sooner or later Bada, BA is gonna hit a homer with some fans around here. I look forward to each at bat he has.
