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.

You figure the guys would be smart enough to pull of the label from the box before displaying it....but then again there are some really dumb people out there so it doesn't shock me.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't alter his hedges (as previously done in commercial form)

RippedmyFlesh · 01-20-2009, 09:19 PM

I just figured if they kept escalating it it prob wouldn't have ended well with afor mentioned idiots.
He laughed about the early stuff but pouring fuel on someones lawn would creep me out if i were a celeb.

Yea, he was a good sport about the earlier pranks, but once they start damaging property I'm either calling the cops or hiding in those hedges with my 12 gauge.

I didn't know it was possible to have a lawn in AZ.

They should have burned a non-base defense x/o into his yard....so he couldn't read it.
