Two arrested in vandalizing of McNabb's lawn
Daily News staff
Fans behaving badly is often part of the Philadelphia story, if you listen to the national media.
Instead, the bad behavior seems to have been Saturday in Chandler, Ariz., in front of Donovan McNabb's offseason home by some Cardinals fans.
Our friends at the East Valley Tribune report that two men have been arrested on charges of suspicion of criminal damage. They allegedly poured diesel fuel into the lawn and burned in messages, including one that said, "Go Cards." The result was $2,000 in damanges, police said.
Here is more on the incident ...
Apparently, this was the second incident involving McNabb's home and Cardinals fan last week. The Arizona Republic reports that someone hung a Cardinals flag from a tree in McNabb's lawn on Thursday. McNabb found that amusing and left the flag there, police said.

Where were the Reid boys when this happened? Nevermind, if they’re like Dad they have no interest in a blazing ground attack.— Will T.

This is bush league. I was at the game and, besides some obnoxious, drunken kids who instigated things during the game and then probably puked on each other after the game, Cardinals fans were generally respectful and decent. In 28 years as an Eagles fan, I've seen our fans stoop lower, but this wasn't even a funny prank. Even the biggest McNabb hating Eagles fans would have to say that, while it probably didn't distract him too much, he didn't deserve this. It doesn't rain out here (we got about 5" of rain in 2008, and 3" of it fell on the night before Thanksgiving in a freak storm). Some clowns fooling around with diesel fuel and matches like this could have easily burned his house down. Losers......hopefully they get a few weeks in prison.— jayb773- stay classy Arizona. isnt that McCain country?— low2behold
- wow, classy fans— chollie
- I saw video on comcast sportsnet. Just looks like some burned grass. Was there more? $2,000 seems a lot for burned grass...— 93phils
- Do you want to see how "classy" Cardinals fans are.......So I go onto the AZ Republic newspaper website hours after the game to see what their reporters were writing about the game. Before I left the site, I wrote a post............................"Great Game by the Cardinals and good luck in the Super Bowl. I'll be rooting for you guys to go all the way.".......................HERE IS THE RESPONSE I GOT ON MY E-MAIL YESTERDAY............"Typical colors of Filthadelphia sports fan. When the Filthadelphia teams win, they walk on water. When they lose, they're scum. We don't need Filthadelphia fans rooting for our Cardinals in the Super Bowl. We have plenty of Cardinal fans to cheer them on in two weeks."— Fo Fo Fo
- They have plenty of Cardinals fans? That's a laugh!
- Just like I've always said - there are lowlifes in every city in the USA. We just happen to have Santa Claus, which will only take about another 100 years for the media to forget. It's too handy when you are struggling for something to write about.— dlscholt
- Bush league. I'm a die hard Iggle fan in NYC and honestly saw the first Cardinal fan I'VE EVER SEEN - last night. I will say that you see supporters of every team in the NFL in this city especially if you frequent sports bars. In 4 years never seen one until yesterday. I really didn't know they really had fans.— ag
Third-rate vandals for sure. One of them even left his address at the scene. These clowns give honest sports hooligans a bad name. They'd never cut it in Philadelphia.- There aren't any Cardinals fans in Arizona, all of them root for the Cryboys, I know every time the the Cryboys play in Arizona the games are always sold out. Every time the EAGLES come to play here in Texas you will always see a Arizona Cryboy Fan. Why is the media always putting the Philly fans down, Every year that I go to Philly they always treat me good, is it a bad thing to be a passionate fan?— tonygreeneagle5
- The reason they hate EAGLES Fans so much is because WE LOVE THE BIRDS AND WE LOVE TO WIN!!!!!— tonygreeneagle5
- I'm a Philly girl living in Cali. I've never seen a Cards fan until I went to the game, and with that remember...we are talking about them having to pull fans from the entire STATE, not just a city. I have also heard that the Cowboys are bigger than the Cards there. As for their fans, corny would an understatement. Eagles fans take a lot of heat, but let me tell you I saw Cards fans attacking Eagles fans after the game and got into an altercation myself with a guy harassing my friend and me while we were driving. He threw somethng at our car after we returned the gesture he first gave us. It was totally stupid. But not as stupid as his girlfriend looked with her hair all wet after the payback. I paid a lot of money for my ticket, so Cards fans can kiss my you know what. Everyone loves to hate Eagles fans because they are jealous of that fact that we are loyal no matter what. Besides the idiot Cards fans and the Eagles losing, I had a great time.— Carla Rossi
- I heard Donovan and Andy ran over to the flaming lawn and burned two timeouts....for no good reason— Will T.
