Have you guys heard the Hyundai commercial on the radio where he announces himself as the owner? When did that happen? I know he used to call himself President, but I don't remember ever hearing him refer to himself as owner. Did Bill finally turn over ownership? How is his health?

I know I've heard Bill's health hasn't been very well the last few years. In fact I haven't seen him on TV or games for what seems like forever. I'd almost bet Michael is basically the owner without the title, he overseas all operations anyway

The last time I saw a picture of Mr. B was about a year ago. Fitz and Michael Floyd went to visit him on his birthday and Fitz put it on Twitter.

I wonder what arrangement has been made for the franchise and the Bidwills pending Bill Sr.s death? Lots of families have had to sell the team based on the death of the owner and the taxes to be paid by his estate. The last situation like this I remember is the Redskins franchise. That is how Snyder was able to buy that team.

Its a family business, doesn't matter who's name is on the title.

Except he's never introduce himself like that. Even when I met him in New Orleans a couple years ago he introduced himself as president (not that he needed to introduce himself).

I just wonder if he's officially taken over that role, even though he unofficially took it over years ago.

History

The cards history of Charles death- passed to his wife and the to boys- bill had to pay stormy for half the cards in 72 I think- Bill earned the cardinals more than some give credit for- and the lean years for fans were lean years for bill compared to other nfl owners-

Charles saved the Bears - Bill saved the mfl as much as anyone- the quiet men paid the dues of many - while teams and leagues went defunct - Bill survived As a travel team until our stadium! Go ahead take that for granted! But Jerry Jones did not iy until the mfl was a sure thing

From ball boy - to owner Bill Bidwill has forgot more about the
NFL- the most will ever know! So Im sure he placed ownership the right hands - and Michael votes at the owner meetings- a Bill bidwill movie would rock-
