I am cheering for the Cardinals in the Superbowl...however, these Cards fans are not too bright.

Lawn of Donovan McNabb's Arizona home burned by Cardinals' fans

CHANDLER, Ariz. - Before facing the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb had to play defence at his off-season home in Chandler, Ariz., southeast of Phoenix.

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 US$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 misdemeanour 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.

Hellos,

Good showing for the Cards, albiet a rough 1st quarter and ticky tack calls. They gave up over 100 yrds in penalties, and epic meltdown seconds before the close of the 1st half.. No shame in how they played though -- against the best D in the league, who also had the toughest schedule this year (arguably).

Pretty cool Thug Life Steelers though

-- #92 Harrison punching a man while he's down. Nice. I for one respect a man who kicks another man when he's down.

Go Cards, regardless of the loss.
