The NFL Cardinals the least successful US s****ts franchise of all
time, and here are the facts to prove it!
...............................................
The Cardinals, founded in 1898 and a charter member of the National
Football League, hold the distinction of being the oldest continuously
run professional football franchise in the nation.
The Early Days
The team boasts a colorful history! Its fans have known the club as
the Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago
Cardinals, Racine Cardinals, the Normals, and the Morgan Athletic
Club.
The team began as a neighborhood group that gathered to play football
in a predominantly Irish area of Chicago's South Side, playing under
the name Morgan Athletic Club. The team later was acquired by Chris
O'Brien, a painting and decorating contractor, and soon its playing
site changed to nearby Normal Field, prompting the new name Normals.

and.... today 7/23/08 I am looking at the official webpage for the
team and here is an excerpt from it.....
********************************************** 7/23/08
*************************************
The 1995 season also marked another milestone when the Cardinals
served as the host team for Super Bowl XXX at Sun Devil Stadium on
January 28, 1996.
The 1998 Arizona squad, one of the NFL's youngest teams, ended the
franchise's 15-year playoff drought and notched the Cardinals' first
postseason victory since 1947.
Pivotal 2000 Campaign
The 2000 season proved pivotal to the Cardinals' franchise.
An October coaching change promoted then-defensive coordinator Dave
McGinnis to interim head coach, replacing Vince Tobin after four and
one-half seasons. Eight weeks later, McGinnis was named the
franchise's permanent head coach.
Election Day, November 7, 2000, fell in between. Voters in Maricopa
County passed Proposition 302, the Tourism and S****ts Initiative, to
help fund a new stadium for the Cardinals, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and
future Super Bowls, in addition to providing revenue for Cactus League
spring training baseball, tourism, and youth recreation. The 454,785
"yes" votes spelled a plurality of 33,123 votes (51.89 percent).
The team's new home is scheduled to open in 2006!

hell... today is 7/23/08 and the last brag of their website is that
the teams new home will open in 2006! well golly geee.....
wow, it appears their greatest claim to fame is that the Cardinals
have been the host city for a Super Bowl..... they surely don't
have a "Super Bowl" tab on their website...... one would only guess
it is because they have never won one. And they talk about the
Chicago Cubs being a "team of futility" as far as being a fan. At
least the Cardinals of baseball have made an effort thru the years to
be competitive. Some say the Cardinals of football among the oldest
US s****ts franchises.. It certainly is the least successful US s****ts
franchise of all time of any s****t. And, as such, is a den of
iniquity!
