I freely admit to doing a lot of stupid things in my life. That would be especially true in my youth, now seemingly another lifetime ago.
The thought struck me yesterday that it probably would not be entirely outside the realm of possibility that at one time, in the company of some buddies, I could be coazed into sneaking into some place where we obviously were not supposed to be.
But Lincoln Financial Field? OK, the thought of running around that pristine grass where the Eagles strut their stuff certainly holds a certain allure.
Maybe a quick dash into the end zone and then high-tail it out of there.
Unfortunately for five Villanova students, that’s not where this prank stopped. After sneaking into the Linc, police say they pried loose a seat, and a sign with the Eagles logo on it, and were in the process of absconding with it when the gendarmes arrived. The seat was found propped up against the exterior wall of the stadium. The sign was recovered in a BMW the police believe would have been the getaway car.
We cheered the Wildcats recently as they made their run to the Final Four.
But these five knuckleheads get a decided thumb’s down. And criminal charges to boot.
