Totally agree with this statement! I am so glad that Michael took control of the team and not his brother Bill Jr.

I am certain that many of you can recall prior to 1996, when Michael became part of the Cardinals management, it was thought that his older brother Bill Jr. would be next in line for the top position in the organization.

Here are the brothers comparative bio's from the team website: :wink2:

I think the logo on Billy's tie is a Dolphin

Moving Graves out of the GM spot was big.

But that wouldn't have happened if Bill Sr. was still in charge. Don't forget the Cards went to the SB with Graves as the GM.

True Graves was the GM but it was Denny who selected the players. Heck we still have 3 of his guys on the team. :p

Bert Bell might have been a bad head coach but he was a visionary as far as the league and sport go. They don't hand out a Bert Bell award based on his coaching credentials.
