Followup NFL History Question (You'll Never Get This One)
The NFL's first season was in 1920. Of the original 14 teams, only the Chicago Cardinals still exists under the original team name (they later moved to St. Louis and Arizona).

The question: Without looking, name ANY other member of the original 14-team NFL.

I'll post the full list answer at 12:45 Eastern.
