How's this for the bad blood between Buffalo and New England: The Patriots-Bills vitriol is so toxic that it's infected their local minor-league baseball teams.
So in response to one team's plans to host "Free [Tom] Brady Friday," the Buffalo Bisons have their own special event planned: A "Keep Brady Suspended" night.

According to the Bisons, here is how the promotion will work:
-- If you bring a properly inflated football to donate to a youth program, tickets are buy one and get one free.
-- Undestroyed cell phones will donated to 'Cell Phones for Soldiers' charity.
The Bisons' promotion was announced shortly after the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Triple-A affiliate of Boston, announced their own promotion to stand in solidarity with their local quarterback.

Never ones to back down from a kerfuffle, the PawSox bit back:

We're still 10 days out, and this is already getting pretty ugly.
