By BallHyped Staff · Published 2009-09-01 NFL September 13, 2009 Okay, this post is for football fans in St. Louis. Of course, I say St. Louis, but it could also be for football fans in Baltimore. Or Cleveland. Or Houston. Anyway, St. Louis fans — I have a question for you: When your team moved to Phoenix, did you continue to root for the Cardinals? I mean, it was the same team you rooted for the year before, right? Same players, same red birds on the helment, same under .500 record. They just played in a different city. So I assume, even though you might have been bitter about it, you continued to root for the Cardinals. (This, of course, presumes that there were any fans for what was a pretty sucky team.) Now, for you young fans, let me clarify something: Yes, at one time, St. Louis did have two sports teams named the Cardinals. Now you can continue playing your Madden games or your Rock Band or whatever. For the rest of you, this is my most important question: What happens when the old Cardinals (a.k.a., the Phoenix Cardinals) play the new Cardinals (a.k.a., the St. Louis Rams, formerly known as the Los Angeles Rams)? I’m sure the same dilemna occurs when the Cleveland Browns play the old Cleveland Browns (The Baltimore Ravens), when the new Baltimore Colts (the Baltimore Ravens) play the old Baltimore Colts (the Indianapolis Colts), or the new Houston Oilers (Houston Texans) play the old (Tennessee Titans).
