NFL's Oldest Rivalry: the Bears vs. the Cardinals
Tuesday, Nov. 3 @ 7 PM join Joe Zimba (When Football Was Football) for a historical look at the Bears vs. the Cardinals rivalry.
Join author Joe Ziemba (“When Football Was Football”) for an unusual look at the oldest rivalry in the National Football League: the Bears and the Cardinals. Back in the formative years of professional football, when both teams were based in Chicago, the Bears and Cardinals competed against each season for Windy City gridiron supremacy. These battles were marked by fierce, physical competition, wild fan interaction, and even a bit of an underworld presence. Relive these rowdy days through audience interaction, rare archival photos, and surprising insight into local football pioneers such as Bronko Nagurski, Jim Thorpe, Paddy Driscoll, Red Grange, Ernie Nevers, and George Halas.
