Apparently as the Arizona Cardinals went into the locker room following their win in the NFC Championship game, WR Anquan Boldin was seen leaving out the back door. Boldin was seen arguing with offensive coordinator Todd Haley on the sideline late in the game. The Cardinals opted to use just one receiver on nine of their final 14 plays of the game. Haley dismissed the sideline interaction as part of the game. He described himself as emotional. "Just the emotions of the game," Haley said. "We're emotional guys. Like I said, I wear my heart on my sleeve and that's the way I go about business and I have to deal with that on a full-time basis."

ESPN.com reports Arizona Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin was not happy with being minimized in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship game. Late in the game, Boldin was seen arguing with offensive coordinator Todd Haley. "I was not given any explanation why I was taken out," Boldin said during an interview on ESPN's "NFL Live," when asked what led to the sideline confrontation. "Like any competitor I wanted to know why." Asked if he had any issues with Haley, Boldin said, "Not a problem at all. I'm committed to this team ... one goal in mind ... to win the Super Bowl. That's why I came back early from the facial injury. You don't get this opportunity all the time." Boldin disputed a report that said he was seen leaving the locker room via a back door following the game. "I didn't leave through a back door. I tried to get in and out as quickly as possible to beat the media," Boldin said. "I didn't want the story line to be me and Todd getting into it."

McLovin thinks this just as overrated as Whiz "Knowing Ben's mind." Boldin has been a distraction to that team for 2 seasons now whining about his contract. It's well known he doesn't speak to WHiz or anybody in the front office yet this guy still comes to play every week. He literally broke his face earlier this year and came back strong. Whiz and the cards are saying all the right things and you can bet Boldin will be a factor in this game with Fitzgerald getting a lot of extra attention.
