Well, this is a great day to be a Cardinal fan.
The last time they won a championship was in the late 40s when the Chicago Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.
I follow the Canadian Football League and university football in Canada and the U.S.A., more than the NFL. but it was nice to remember the old Chicago Cardinals.
One of the worst ever trades in NFL history took place when the Chicago Cardinals traded their star, Ollie Matson, to the Los Angeles Rams for 11 non-entities, not one of whom made it with the Cards.
I think the Chicago Cardinals might be the oldest NFL club in history. Perhaps Green Bay has been around longer.
Of course, professional football in Canada stretches back much further with the formation of the Toronto Argonauts in the 1880s or so. The first Grey Cup (Canadian championship) was in 1911, or was it 1909?
