Oh Q.

There has been way too much drama re: Anquan Boldin the last two days, and I don't like it.

One of the local radio stations had an interview with him this afternoon, and I was enraptured. He speaks so randomly—very slowly and with these extended pauses that serve no purpose whatsoever. I find it ridiculously hot for some reason. He's so quietly furious with the organization it would almost be comical, except the end result may be a trade to some other team and that is simply no laughing matter.

Apparently he's been boxing as part of his offseason training regimen, and he's even been in the ring with "a real live human." I'm a bit mystified by this. If you've got seven metal plates and 40 screws holding your busted face together, do you really want "a real live human" taking swings at you? But, clearly he does.

I don't understand it, but I guess that's part of why I <3 him. Selfishly, I hope he doesn't get traded. I would miss him.

It really doesn't sound as if things are reconcilable between Q and team management. I will be really sad to see him go, but he really hasn't been happy here for some time.

The boxing thing is baffling, all things considered.

I'm still hopeful things can be resolved, but I agree that it seems less likely now than in the past. But we'll see—if the Cards aren't bowled over by any of the offers, they'll hang onto him.

Yes, quite baffling. The guy is amazing/crazy.
