At least the Big Red entertained its dwindling St. Louis fan base back in 1987.
Quarterback Neil Lomax bombed away to receivers Roy Green and J.T. Smith to make that farewell tour interesting. The Cardinals won five of their last eight games before owner Bill Bidwill finally acted on his threats to move.

“Everybody’s disappointed, frustrated, embarrassed,” running back Todd Gurley said after the Rams fell to the Arizona Cardinals 27-3 Sunday to extend their losing streak to five games.
With Rams owner Stan Kroenke working to move the team to Los Angeles for 2016, the local fan apathy is reminiscent of Bidwill’s final days.
