PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (WTXF) - On Saturday afternoon, workers who jokingly called themselves the "Crisco Cops" greased light poles to prevent Eagles fans from climbing them.

But Eagles loyalists could not be deterred in their celebrations following the team's NFC Championship win.

There might be more Crisco on people's clothes than on the poles after last night - but hope springs eternal! #IThinkWereGonnaNeedABiggerTub
