$4 mil a year can't buy happiness

Just when you thought another NFL wide receiver couldn't act like an inconsiderate primma donna, Anquan Boldin decided, that, he too, has the ability to alienate hard working, lower- and middle-class NFL fans.

Taking a page out of the Chad Johnson/T.O. manual of how to make yourself look like an ignorant asshole in front of the media, Boldin continued to whine on Tuesday about the contact extension the Arizona Cardinals wouldn't re-negotiate with him. Apparently, Boldin's four-year, $22.75 million contract, which ends after the 2010 season, isn't enough to keep the little baby happy.

Boldin, whose average salary is $4 million per season, actually said, and I quote, "It's a tough situation, especially when you come into a working environment." But what do professional athletes realistically know about real working environments?

"But my job is to stay professional. I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do." What he's supposed to do is shut the hell up and play football. Oh, and honor the contract his greedy ass signed in the first place.

More mouth jabbering from the idiot: "If I'm not going to be treated fairly, if my hard work and loyalty isn't going to be rewarded here..." Whoa, this isn't the end of the quote, but hold it right there! His hard work is being rewarded with four million dead presidents whom he probably wouldn't even recognize, much less be able to name.

Ahhhhh, I'm just getting myself worked up. This won't do any good, but it'll let me sleep a little better at night. Man, I can't imagine getting to a point in life where I felt a $4 million salary was insulting. Man, oh man, oh man...
