    Philly may grease poles ahead of the Super Bowl. Eagles fans don't care

    "Many cities brace for rowdy celebrations after a major sports win. But in Philadelphia, one safety precaution has turned into something of a rallying cry - or a dare: greasing the poles.

    For the uninitiated, that means using paint rollers to apply biodegradable gear oil to lamp posts and other structures, in order to keep fans from scaling them."
