Description

The NFL's Oldest Rivalry: A Reconstructed History The Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals, two of the National Football League's oldest teams, have a rich and complex history that spans nearly four decades. Their early years were marked by relative obscurity, with both teams traveling the country without much fanfare. However, as their records were destroyed in fires, much of what is known about those initial seasons was lost to time. This book draws on newly available resources to document the battles and brawls on and off the field, the cunning backroom deals, and the financial woes that plagued both teams during their time in Chicago. The story is one of an uneasy alliance between two old adversaries, with figures like Al Capone, Red Grange, Jim Thorpe, and Bronko Nagurski making appearances in the lore of this rivalry. By reconstructing the missing history of these two teams, Joe Ziemba sheds new light on a pivotal period in the National Football League's early years.
