It’s one thing to get booed in your own stadium by your own fans. It’s quite another to get booed at the end of practice in your own practice facility, courtesy of your head coach, who had that same unfriendly noise piped in over portable loud speakers to rub it in your face.
But that’s exactly what Cardinals first-year coach Steve Wilks did to his team earlier this week ahead of Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears at State Farm Stadium.
The last time his Cardinals played there, in the season opener against Washington, they heard plenty of boos from the hometown fans during a 24-6 blowout loss.
