Each episode of “When Football Was Football” will take the listener back to the very early days of the National Football League. Your host, Joe Ziemba, will share a forgotten or lost story from one of the NFL’s two oldest teams: The Bears and the Cardinals. Team championships, individual exploits, or long-buried items of interest from the earliest years of the NFL will be dusted off and resurrected for the listener. Not for the football faint-of-heart since these programs will document when the struggling Bears nearly went out of business or when Cardinals’ players earned $15 a game and were proud of it! It’s NFL history—with a twist!

Madison Street Agreement
The agreement was originally signed by Dr. David Jones, the owner of the Cardinals back in 1931 and then renewed by Charles Bidwill a few years later. For some reason, both the Bears and the Cardinals agreed upon strict geographical limitations for holding their home games in the City of Chicago.
