I ended up getting 10 out of 10, but I just read "When Football Was Footbal: The Chicago Cardinals and the Birth of the NFL" two weeks ago on plane flights to and from New York.

After reading the book and seeing how historically weak the Cardinals were and how they were beeyatch slapped by Charlie Bidwill's good friend George Halas and the Chicago Bears, you understand why they are who they are today . . .

I will also say that the 1925 Championship is questionable. Although the NFL now recognizes them as the Champions, there was debate back then and Chris O'Brien never officially recognized his team as the Champions.

That was back when you scheduled your own opponents and the "best record won". How many games could they play against the Chicago Tigers in one season? That was the year they padded the Miilwaukee roster with high school boys who really got screwed in that deal. The game was later forfeited.

Yeah, I thought it was 47.

I sucked, but I don't feel too bad since I dind't follow the team til they moved to AZ. I thought the Phoenix to AZ change was in 1995.

 

[DevonCardsFan]

7 of 10 for me

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

6 out of 10...that is sad

 

[Cards Czar]

10 of 10 for me. I guessed correct on 2 of them.

 

[Doc Cardinal]

You guys are much better than me.

Most of the questions were pre 50's and sorry...but I was only 2 years old.

 

[wembley88]

50%. Which given the strong pound versus the dollar equates to one of your guys 90%.

bah! I got 70% and I'm exactly 30 years younger than you

 

[CardLogic]

90% - Blew it on the #5, first opponent question. The obvious answer was a bit too obvious and had to be wrong, or so I thought! LOL! That's what I get for thinking too hard... well, that and a headache!

 

[CaptTurbo]

bah!

Vince bah is mine. Find your own word!

 

[bleedingblueandsilver]

8 out of 10!

 

[okcardzona]

90% blew the yeat the cards was established, I knew it

 

[BigRedMO]

9 right with no internet or book assistance on my one and only try. Missed by one year the change from Phoenix to AZ.

 

[WisconsinCard]

60% but hey I am only 45 years old....I got a lot to learn

 

[vince56]

See, I remembered that little circle with the 100 that was on their jerseys a few years ago, and the memory of that circle was always tied to Adrian Murrell in my mind for some reason. Putting 2+2 together...1898.

Some of those questions, the ones about the players in the 30s and 40s, I had no idea.
