Way back when, in the days leading up to the NFL’s 2011 season, the Philadelphia Eagles were touted as a dream team of sorts. Even casual birdwatchers may recall that our beloved Arizona Cardinals contributed to the early Eagle hype by giving Philly cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in exchange for a fella by the name of Kevin Kolb.

On Sunday, September 23, both the Eagles and the Cards oughta be schlepping sizable chips on their shoulder pads at Glendale’s University of Phoenix Stadium, 1 West Cardinals Drive, making for a good old-fashioned bird brawl. Fortunately, the Cards are 1-0 against their fellow fowl this year.
