Anquan Boldin, who knows how to play through injuries, missed practice Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. The Cardinals are hopeful he'll be ready for Sunday, and some am I as a Boldin owner in two finals. But this bothers me more than a usual Wednesday practice. The Cardinals have nothing to play for in Foxborough and it makes a lot of sense to rest Boldin if he's not 100%. With the conditions expected to be below freezing with some snow flurries, Arizona may be even more cautious.
Incidentally, I'm not too worried about the snow forecast yet. If it's light, it hurts the pass rush more than anything. And the New England defense does not have the bodies to hang with Arizona, whether Boldin is available or not.
Matt Bowen wrote an enlightening piece about how players really vote for the Pro Bowl. They never vote for rivals (Bills don't for Patriots) and they stack the ballot with reserves to help the starters on their own teams.
It didn't make huge national news, but King Carl Peterson's dethroning this week shook up the football world. I've watched Peterson closely during his last, worst days. Joe Posnanski, as always, provides some reasoned perspective.

I know the rankings are out now but I wanted to get some input on my RB conundrum. Finally made it to the championship game with not much help from Ladainian. In addition to LdT I have Thomas Jones, MJD, Marshawn Lynch and new guy Pierre Thomas. I can start two. I'm going to finally bench LaDainian and play Thomas Jones and MJD. Am I nuts? Should I start Pierre instead? Who should get benched?
