It isn't just those in football uniforms talking trash ahead of Super Bowl XLVIII. The police departments in Seattle and Denver traded barbs on Twitter over the weekend in support of their local teams.
The Denver Police Department got the banter started with this tweet:
#DPD PSA: Friends don't let friends be @Seahawks fans. @SeattlePD @Broncos #BadgeBowl #TimeToRide #SuperBowl #Denver pic.twitter.com/jATRnV2dTq

It didn't take long for the Seattle Police Department to respond.
@DenverPolice @Broncos We'll save you a seat on the @Seahawks bandwagon when you're ready to root for a #SuperBowl -winning team.

@SeattlePD @Broncos @Seahawks ummm, round one goes to @DenverPolice!
