St. Louis Football Cardinals

Happy birthday to John Barefield, who once saved a man's life on the side of I-270 and referred to himself as the "25th Wonder of the World." Learn more about Dr. Doom in this 2021 post at the Big Red Zone. thebigredzone.com/2021/03/23/big…

@steelers1288 @carterivan68 Saw Jetstream in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago!

@carterivan68 @BigRed_STL

Can a brother get some Roy Green? @BigRed_STL

Heavenly Birthday MacArthur Lane (1942-2019) The Oakland, CA native was the Cardinals' top draft pick in 1968 out of Utah State. Lane had a breakout Pro Bowl season in 1970 after gaining over 1,300 total yards and leading the league with 13 touchdowns. #BigRed1970s

BOTD 1937: Pro Bowl defensive end Joe Robb, who was one of the Cardinals' best pass rushers in the 1960s. Robb was a 2nd-team All-Pro in 1966 and played in STL from 1961-1967. He passed away at the early age of 50 in 1987. #BigRed1960s

Happy birthday, Stump Mitchell! @StumpCoach had his best season in 1985 when he gained more than 1500 scrimmage yards and scored 10 TDs in only 8 starts. He is still the franchise's 2nd All-time leading rusher, behind OJ Anderson. 📷 JB Forbes #BigRed1980s

Heavenly Birthday to former Big Red All-Pro guard Ken Gray, who played in 6 Pro Bowls during his 12 seasons with the Cardinals. Gray and Jerry Kramer were both drafted by the Packers in 1958. The Packers kept the future Hall of Famer while Gray signed with the #ChicagoCards.

This Big Red cheerleader was very happy about the Cardinals 24-14 win over the Eagles in 1980. It was head coach Jim Hanifan’s first NFL victory. 📷 JB Forbes

@KnoxvilleRwy I did some research on this a couple of years ago and found no evidence that he had accepted the Alabama job before leaving the Cardinals. And the way he was fired in Arizona was a disgrace.

@BigRed_STL My recollection was that Bidwill fired him partway through his last season because he already accepted the Alabama head coach job. Stallings had to deal with a bad replacement team during the ‘87 strike and an overall lack of talent on the roster.

Happy birthday, Gene Stallings! The Texas native coached the Cardinals from 1986 to 1989, compiling a record of 23 wins, 34 losses, and 1 tie. In 1987, he led the Big Red to within a game of the playoffs. He later went on to win a National Championship at Alabama in 1992.

Here is @Frank_Cusumano's interview with OJ Anderson and Roy Green from last night's Sports Plus show. Their interview starts at the 9 minute mark. ksdk.com/video/sports/l…

I hope everyone had a chance to see these three great Hall of Famers today. OJ Anderson, Roy Green and Lee Smith! 📷 St. Louis Sports Collectors

Fun day meeting @BigRed_STL studs Roy Green and Ottis Anderson!

@patrickimig Village Bar

@BigRed_STL Where was this gathering?

Fun afternoon with OJ Anderson, Roy Green and Jackie Smith.

@RobertTonyjz7x WTF

The two greatest to ever wear #81 in St. Louis Football Cardinals history. Roy Green and Jackie Smith. #jetstreamgreen

@KnoxvilleRwy Blind squirrel 🤣

@BigRed_STL George Boone nailed it with the 1979 draft picks.

Tomorrow. Night on Channel 5!

#OJAnderson carted off the field after suffering a game-ending injury early in the second quarter of the Cardinals' 41-16 playhoff loss to the Packers in 1983. 📸 #JBForbes

Here's another photo from #JBForbes of #JackieSmith taking a hand to the face from the Eagles Joe Lavender in 1975 at Busch Stadium. #BigRed1970s
