McNabb’s lawn burned with Cardinals cheers
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.

How come the media wasn't in an uproar over this? If a Philly fan
did this, it would be because Philly fans are dispicable and the most
ruthless, worst fans around, but Cards fans do it, and not a peep in
the national media.
