McNabb's lawn burned with Cardinals cheers; two arrested CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb recently had to play defense at his offseason home in Chandler. Two Arizona Cardinals fans hung their team's flag in a tree and burned "Go Cards," "Go Kurt," and "I heart AZ" in McNabb's yard with diesel fuel, Chandler police Sgt. Joe Favazzo said Tuesday. Favazzo said the fans hung the flag Thursday, and McNabb laughed it off and even left it hanging. Then the fans returned Saturday and left a cardboard box in the driveway with "Go Cards" written on one side and "Beat Philly" on the other. McNabb laughed that off, too, when he discovered it at about midnight, Favazzo said. But McNabb stopped laughing when he went outside Saturday morning, smelled diesel fuel and realized someone had burned Cardinals cheers into his lawn, causing about $2,000 in damage. Favazzo said officers found an address label on the box that had been left, and it led to Chandler resident Rex Perkins, 37, who later admitted to the pranks. His co-worker, Ryan Hanlon, 28, also admitted to the pranks. Perkins and Hanlon were fingerprinted, photographed and cited for misdemeanor criminal damage. "When they decided to get diesel fuel out and start damaging the yard, they crossed the line," Favazzo said. The Cardinals beat the Eagles on Sunday in the NFC championship game to advance to the Feb. 1 Super Bowl in Tampa, Fla.
I think the funniest part is that they burned three positive messages into the lawn. No "Eagles Suck." No "Fuck McNabb." Go Kurt and I *heart* Arizona...with fucking fire. Insane. Which is what makes me believe that they had no idea of the horrifying racial connotations of this, and were just extremely ignorant/idiotic.
There is a chance mcnabb could enjoy az, That being said DUMB ASSEZ not even creative. that's some qb club 2000 shit.
What's even funnier is these guys have been Cardinal fans since 13 minutes ago.... man talk about being die hard fans.
They would have become Darwin winners if they killed themselves in the process of pouring fuel on the grass...
That's what had me laughing, they put nice, polite, even gay cheers in his lawn with FIRE. Honorable mention goes to the home address on the side of the box they left.
Ahh, yes...then they're just mooks. As far as the burning...it doesn't say anything about fire. The fuel itself burned the grass is all. No flames guys.
I took it as flames..but oh well..EDIT..upon further review no fire was used. Police said the two men, Rex Perkins, 37, and Ryan Hanlon, 28, were arrested Saturday for using the fuel to kill the grass in the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback's lawn and leave the messages, "Go Cards," "Go Kurt," and "I (heart) AZ."
And to show the "fandom" of the Arizona people.. Some of them do not realize they are not playing the Eagles in the SB.. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/2009/01/21/20090121b3filler0121.html
