One of the biggest issues in professional sports this year has been the New England Patriots getting caught using under-inflated footballs during the AFC Championship game in January. The team is trying to put that behind them after quarterback Tom Brady had his four-game suspension wiped out earlier this month.
Their opponent this weekend, AFC East division rival Buffalo Bills, aren’t going to let them forget it that easily, however. According to USA TODAY’s For the Win, the Bills’ team store is selling air pumps in the front of the store ahead of the game in Buffalo on Sunday.

Apparently, the store’s manager is wanting to explain why they have such a prominent display on air pumps. The store always has them for sale, but they are usually tucked away in the back of the store.

If you really don’t know why he has the pumps front and center, then you seriously have been living under a rock for the last eight months.
