Isn’t it funny how many of the NFL franchises adopted the names of much older and more established baseball franchises in the same city?

Giants (still there although baseball team left)
Cardinals (baseball team still there, football left)
Pirates (now Steelers)
Dodgers (defunct)

Some of the classic teams are still around, though.

Holy Cow!! The Rams pull the BIG UPSET. I’ve been so busy typing 3 separate research papers this week that I’ve fallen way behind. This is huge!
