PHILADELPHIA -- Workers in Philadelphia have greased light poles in a bid to prevent Eagles fans from climbing them after the team's NFC Championship Game win.

ESPN Staff Writer They've put Crisco on the poles in downtown Philadelphia to prevent fans from potentially climbing them later. Wild scene on the streets here downtown 4 1/2 hours before the game.

Officials say the grease should make the poles too slippery to climb.

The workers applying the grease are jokingly calling themselves the "Crisco Cops."

Once it seemed like the Eagles would walk away with a victory, the Philadelphia Police tweeted out a friendly reminder to fans.
