Anquan Boldin Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin called all the negative press involving his altercation with offensive coordinator Todd Haley, "hilarious."
However, it did not look like anyone was laughing during Boldin's shouting match with Haley on the sideline came as the Cardinals were putting together the game winning touchdown drive in Sunday's 32-25 victory over the Eagles in the NFC championship game.
"For me it's hilarious. I mean, I don't want to sit here and dwell on it because for me it's in the past," said Boldin. "That's something that goes on every week in the NFL whether people know it or not. Every week, somebody on the sidelines gets into an argument, but it's in the heat of the moment, it's part of football and once it's done, it's dead on all sides."

"I think people are making a lot out of nothing," said Cards strong safety Adrian Wilson. "That stuff happens all the time. Q is very dedicated to this team, very dedicated to the players. I think it's a non-issue."
Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner said that all the attention was crazy, and judging Boldin by this incident would be equally as insane.
Boldin acknowledged it was a lesson in how things are magnified when a team reaches this point.
"The attention has grown," Boldin said. "Do you have to be careful? I guess so, but at the same time you can't alter who you are. You can only be you and let the rest take care of itself."
