Off the top of my head, don't forget Jim Ottis FB Roger Finney T Tom Breheny (Sp?)C/G Mark Arneson DT/DE Larry Wilson DB and others... Nostalgia trip: How many of you subscribed to Pro Football weekly? The best Football Weekly newspaper/magazine. Especially if you lived out of the Market area of your team.Did any of you have the APBA Nation Football League game? Each team was a full roster set of Player cards with each Player card having their stats for that year? A football field made of cardboard with a slot along 1 side for the football. You rolled 2 6-sided dice to access a number from 11 thru 66. each number gave a set of 2 numbers you then used to look on the big board to get action of that play. Spent hours playing it with friends & Bro-n-Law. (There was also the APBA Baseball game. They added other sports as the years rolled by.)
I not only remember it, but I also subscribed to it. It was the best football publication of its time. And since we are throwing names out there from that era. Joel Buchsbaum. Not a player but a football savant when it comes to knowing anything and everything about every dam football player out there. If you wanted to know about a college prospect, he could tell you everything you might want to know. He was a walking encyclopedia. How he knew so much before the internet, I have no idea. He was on St Louis's KMOX every Monday night before the game....and other times. I loved listening to ho him and Bill Wilkerson talk football. The Legend Of Joel Buchsbaum |

lol...You beat me to it. I was going to post an article about that as soon as I got done with my above post. I'm feeling like most here....we should keep him. I love Matt Prater as much as anyone. But we are going with a youth movement. He may well be good for a few more years, but his age will catch up with him. While he has been a consistent kicker, he has missed games in two out of the last three years. Let's face it, injures come easier as you age. This may be a good time to go with youth. |

1970's Cardiac Cardinals reference. I absolutely love it! Go-- Jim Hart, Johnny Roland, Terry Metcalf, Mel Gray, Ike Harris-- Jackie Smith, Earl Thomas, Dan Dierdorf, Bob Young, Conrad Dobler. I know I'm missing 2 OLmen. I'm posting on the fly and not using the internet. If I've omitted offensive or defensive roster guys, correct me an add to my omissions! Jim Bakken was awesome and so instrumental in the '74-'76 seasons. Thanks for the free trip down Cardinal memory lane! No jet jag suffered and complimentary smiles were handed out by the crew as I revisited my earliest Cardinal football season memories. Thanks! Big Red…you were spot on with the roster…a few I would not forget who were integral in parts of those 74-76 years were Jim Otis, JV Cain, Center Tom Banks and Roger Wehrli…I’m also very fond of the Neil Lomax, Roy Green and Otis Anderson Cardinals as well…not part of the 74-76 run…but also those who played an important part to those fond memories associated with the BIG RED!!! 😉 I'm honestly ashamed of myself for not remembering JV. Cain, Tom Banks and Roger Wehrli. I thought Jim Otis and Rodger Wehrli were a bad Cardinal season behind the years I mentioned. Thank you for mentioning those great Cardinal players. How the hell did I miss the center Tom Banks? Old-timers setting in. So glad to read better posters than I when it comes to the history of the Arizona Cardinals. I love these venues that leads me down memory lane. |

The Legend Of Joel BuchsbaumUp until 1989 I had kept every Football Pro weekly I had subscribed to. But Jan3 1990 when the bank foreclosed on us & sold our house on the Guthrie Oklahoma Court house steps, they got left behind. We had to sell everything in the house. And that which did not sell got left for the garbage man.  WE moved for the winter to NH where I learned to install Cable Tv. Hence the username here. Then we moved back to Illinois where the wife was from. Been here since Late May of 1990...should've stayed in OK or at the least move back Missouri where I grew up. |

Nostalgia trip: How many of you subscribed to Pro Football weekly? The best Football Weekly newspaper/magazine. Especially if you lived out of the Market area of your team. Being from Florida I also subscribed to Pro Football Weekly and Also The Sporting News which was I believe was based in St Louis. Did you run to the mailbox like me in high school? How about this: KMOX has such a powerful signal as an AM station at night. Many nights I could pick up the Broadcast all the way here in Central Florida. I loved to listen to Bill Wilkerson and Joel Buschbaum. They loved taking my calls being I was way down in Florida. One night I called long distance and talked to Jim Hart and Dan Dierdorf. My question what was your most gratifying moment as a Cardinal. Jim said it was the first time he stepped on the field as a pro. Later upon visiting friends (1990's) in St Louis We had dinner at Hart and Dierdorf's restaurant. Went to see the baseball Cardinals play the next day. Here is one for you. Remember the short lived Ottis and Theotis show. RBS Ottis Anderson #1 pick Univ. Miami and 2nd rd pick FB Theotis Brown UCLA. They had a radio show. Brown injured his knee and was never the same after that. It was a fun show to catch up on things Cardinals. St Louis was a hotbed of the Sports press back in those days Late 60s, 70s & 80s. Jack Buck, Harray Caray, Bill Wilkerson Bob Costas came along later he was young. Sports Illustrated had Paul Zimmerman. DR Z was a great writer. Dan Kelly was super talented too. There were many others. These analysts and writers had class knowledge skills. They knew the players & how to pronounce their names correctly. and no need of a teleprompter. Good times Cardiac Cardinal times. |

Actually I started My Subscription in fall of '75 after I came home from being stationed in Germany. And my mailbox was right by my front door! lol so No running!
I went back to work at Chrysler truck plant in Oct 75 we were working 10 hr shifts 6 days a week back then so I missed out on Buschbaum & Wilkerson as I went to work at 5:12 pm got off a 4:48 AM, From St Clair to Fenton Mo was a 40 minute drive each way. So it was almost 12hrs of my day going to, working, then coming back home. But I sure looked forward to its delivery each week.

On the broadcast yesterday it was mentioned that Chad Ryland in warm-ups made a SIXTY-FIVE Yd Kick ... good to know this kind of leg is possible if needed. Just like the Bills yesterday needed their kicker (Bass) to hit a 61 yarder to avoid overtime.
