Not every member of the winning Arizona Cardinals was rejoicing after Sunday's 41-21 rout of the Bears.
Wide receiver Anquan Boldin was miffed that he was placed on the list of inactives by coach Ken Whisenhunt.
"Well, it was out of my hands; I didn't make the decision," said Boldin, who has been nursing a sore ankle. "If I had made the decision, I would have been playing. When I came back in (from pre-game warm-ups), all of my stuff was out of my locker. So, I didn't make the decision... I know I was (ready to play)."
Whisenhunt told reporters after the game that he was concerned for Boldin because of the loose turf at Soldier Field.
"The only thing I can say is that when I came here all of my stuff was
in my locker. I went out and warmed up - felt great - and when I came
back in, everything was gone. Nobody was man enough to come to me and
tell me what was the situation. I would have probably felt better had
somebody been man enough to walk up to me and tell me what the
situation was, but I had to walk back in the locker room and find all
of my stuff gone."

I would be upset if I was Boldin too. He would have racked up some stats. Not only that if you want to play for the Bears all you have to do is have a big game against them. It worked for Gaines Adams!
At least Boldin has toughness and game.
Quan, If you REALLY want to play at Solider Field, DON'T sign a new deal with the Cardinals ! The Bears WANT you and NEED you ! Hopefully the current braindead coaching staff and GM will be gone after season and this team desparately needs a #1 WR.
He's probably more upset that he couldn't have been part of the scoring bonanza that day.
