Event Details

Celebrate playoff season and the 100th anniversary of the NFL! Joe Ziemba will present the amazing and "forgotten" history of the two remaining National Football League charter member teams: the Arizona Cardinals and the Chicago Bears. What role did Cardinals' owner Charles Bidwill play in saving the Bears? What did the Bears pay Hall-of-Famer Bronko Nagurski back in the 1930s? Did Bears founder George Halas really pump gas to earn money while coaching (and owning) the team? And how did Cardinals' player Ernie Nevers score an NFL record 40 points in 1929?
