Cardinals
FTF: pamlicojack
The Arizona Cardinals are a professional
American Football team based in Tempe, Arizona. They play their
home games in Glendale, Arizona. The Cardinals are members of the
Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the
National Football League (NFL). The Cardinals were founded in 1898,
and are the oldest continuously run professional American football
club in the United States.The team was established in
Chicago in 1898 and was a charter member of the NFL in 1920. Along
with the Chicago Bears, the club is one of two franchises still in
operation since the league's founding. The club moved to St. Louis,
Missouri, in 1960 and played in that city through 1987 (sometimes
referred to as the "football Cardinals", "Big Red" or "Cardiac
Cards" to avoid confusion with the baseball St. Louis Cardinals).
Before the 1988 NFL season, the team moved to Tempe, Arizona, an
eastern suburb of Phoenix, and played their home games for the next
18 years at Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium. In 2006
the club began playing all home games at the newly constructed
University of Phoenix Stadium in the northwestern suburb of
Glendale.
The franchise's lone NFL championship game
victory came in 1947 while they were based in Chicago, and came two
decades before the first Super Bowl game was ever played. The
club's other NFL championship occurred in 1925, eight years before
the league began holding a championship game, and is a
controversial title to this day. The much contested title was
believed to belong to the Pottsville Maroons but was given to the
Cardinals instead in what is called the 1925 NFL Championship
controversy. In the six-plus decades since winning the championship
in 1947, the Cardinals have qualified for the playoffs only six
times and have won only five playoff games, three of which were
achieved during their run in the 2008-09 NFL Playoffs in which they
reached Super Bowl XLIII. The team has also won only four division
titles (1974, 1975, 2008, and 2009) since their 1947–1948 NFL
championship game appearances. In addition, the club has won one
NFC Championship Game in 2008.
