FootballDeflategate

FirstBank trolls Patriots with billboard near University of Phoenix Stadium

first-bank-deflategate-billboard

With Super Bowl week well underway, and both teams now in Arizona, a bank is taking the opportunity to jump on the pile and take a shot at the Patriots.

FirstBank, which has locations in Arizona, Colorado, and California, put up the above pictured billboard near University of Phoenix Stadium. While promoting their mortgages, FirstBank was anything but subtle in suggesting the Patriots deflated footballs on purpose prior to the AFC championship game.

A Maryland auto shop recently offered free air pressure checks for Patriots fans in the wake of the Deflategate. However, FirstBank gets bonus points for putting this billboard so close to the site of Super Bowl XLIX.
