I've never talked about the Chicago/St.Louis/Arizona Cardinals before. They have however had a few stud players over the years. Guys like Larry Wilson a Hall of Fame safety. There was speedster Mel "9.2" Gray. They had Heisman winner John David Crow out of Texas A&M, then there was the elusive Terry Metcalf out of Long Beach State. Big Ottis Anderson was a Cardinal. When Charley Johnson was QBing (60's) he had one of the best receiving duos in the league in Sonny Randle and Bobby Joe Conrad another A&M Aggie. Then there was Jim Hart.
The first Cardinal "star" however was Olympian Ollie Matson who scored 6 times on kick returns between 1952-58 then he was traded to the LA Rams for nine players. Yep..nine players!
If the Eagles hold on, we will see the NFC title game played in the desert. There I think the Cards do have a legit shot at beating Philly. The Arizona Cardinals in a Superbowl??? Never thought I'd type that.
