ESPN-Pottsville, Pa. and Cardinals each claim rights to 1925 NFL title

[green machine]

Neil Rackers' kick was doomed before it even left his foot.

It was Nov. 25, Week 12 of the 2007 season, eight minutes into overtime.

Seconds earlier, the Arizona Cardinals seemingly had beaten the San Francisco 49ers when Rackers blasted the ball through the uprights from 27 yards.

For the briefest of moments, Arizona was 6*5 and one game out of first in the NFC West. Then came a delay-of-game penalty, which negated the field goal and backed the Cardinals up five yards. Naturally, on Rackers¹ second try, the ball elevated wildly off his foot, hooking wide left. One possession later, Kurt Warner fumbled in the end zone to hand the 49ers their first win since summer. Later, Arizona would finish one game out of the playoffs.

Of all the crazy things that have happened to the Cardinals football team over the years that has to be #1. Only the Cardinals could "ice" their own kicker.
