Philadelphia’s ‘CriscoCops’ have greased city’s light poles ahead of NFC title game
One can’t help but think this will serve as motivation for the Minnesota Vikings.
On Sunday, Philadelphia police were spotted putting grease on the city’s light poles ahead of the NFC Championship Game. The reason? To stop Eagles fans from climbing the poles in celebration following their game against the Vikings.
Is that just a case of being prepared? Or was it overconfidence?
While the police were being called “CriscoCops,” Vikings fans were saying the grease would be used for making an omelet or to absorb the tears of Eagles fans.
Here is a look at the Philadelphia police at work:
