It's a Girl Thing

The Arizona Cardinals won their division. Something’s very wrong with that. Or very right. We can’t decide. Whatever else it is, it’s something the Cards haven't accomplished since International Women's Year. That would be 1975 for those not up on your feminist history.

The Arizona Cardinals won their division. Something’s very wrong with that. Or very right. We can’t decide. Whatever else it is, it’s something the Cards haven't accomplished since International Women's Year. That would be 1975 for those not up on your feminist history.

The Minnesota Vikings and All-World running back Adrian Peterson (pictured).
