I feel a lot of love in your posts about the Cards. ;^)
If Bill Bidwell were on fire, I wouldn't even pee to put him out.
The NFL needs to do what the British soccer league does, they have many levels, at the top level, at the end of the season, the two worst teams get relagated down a level (pay gets relegated too), and the top two teams from each lower level moves up one.
By this method, the Cardinals would be in a division with Fort Wayne, Billings, Enid, and Yuba City.
