PHILADELPHIA -- There are two working theories as to why a 1,000-pound bronze statue of a Viking was toppled off its base and into the nearby Schuylkill River early Tuesday morning in the popular Fairmount Park section of Philadelphia.
The first -- the one being pursued by authorities -- is that it was done by anarchists to counter white supremacists' claims to the Icelandic voyager. Naturally.
The second is it was the work of Philadelphia Eagles fans to (disturbingly) mark the beginning of Vikings week. Philadelphia plays host to Minnesota on Sunday (4:25 ET, Fox).
