Bills selling air pumps in team store for game against Patriots
The Buffalo Bills are selling items in their official team store that will help fans troll the New England Patriots on Sunday.
When walking into the Bills’ store on Friday morning, Lauren Hall of News 4 in Buffalo noticed a display of small air pumps. And, no, this is not an item the team usually sells.

Bills store manager Jason Klein explained that the pumps are available in case any fans need to inflate the footballs that they are tossing around while tailgating.
“Just in case anybody needs to inflate their footballs, we have equipment to do that,” Klein told Hall. “If you’re out in the parking lot and you’re throwing the football around, we’ll go ahead and take care of it for you.”
Very clever, guys.
As we have seen all week, the Bills are doing their best to distract the Patriots. Rex Ryan already threw shade at one of New England’s running backs, and Marcell Dareus did not hold back while expressing how much he hates his upcoming opponent. Pats fans also did their part by putting a hat on the Ralph Wilson statue outside Ralph Wilson Stadium.
If the Patriots wanted bulletin board material, this could be the most they are ever going to get.
