Two Good Reasons to Cheer on the Steelers
1. Rex Michael Perkins
2. Ryan Hanlon
They’re the two Phoenix-area residents accused of burning messages in Donovan McNabb’s lawn.
From the East Valley Tribune:
Chandler police arrested two Arizona Cardinals fans who they say burned messages in the front lawn of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb™s Chandler residence a day before the NFC Championship game.
Police were able to track down the pair after they discovered a sticker containing the home address of one of the men on a cardboard sign left in McNabb™s yard.
Rex Michael Perkins, 37, of Chandler, and Ryan Hanlon, 29, of Gilbert, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage on Sunday after police questioned Perkins about the sign that said: œGo Cards on one side and œBeat Philly on the other, Chandler police said.
Perkins and Hanlon also allegedly poured diesel fuel in McNabb™s yard in the 4100 block of South Purple Sage Drive to read: œGo Kurt, and œGo Cards, causing an estimated $2,000 in damage, Chandler police Sgt. Joe Favazzo said.
Given they are huge fans of Kurt Warner, I suppose we should be grateful that they didn’t try a cross.
I don’t know if this is a regular Steelers thing but I did catch a glimpse of a pretty prominent “Let’s Roll” banner in the upper levels of Heinz Field Sunday. Staggeringly poor taste knows no border, it seems.
Maybe it was a Ravens fan’s tribute to Samari Rolle that had been defaced (by true patriots)? Also, I think the second man pictured may actually be Kurt Warner.
