It appears Ben Affleck is as passionate about football as he is acting, especially when he has a little magic elixir in a glass next to him.
On the premier episode of HBO’s ‘Any Given Wednesday’ with Bill Simmons, a visibly saucy Affleck went on a f-bomb laden tirade about “Deflategate,” Tom Brady giving up his cell phone, and more. Reps for Affleck reportedly told TMZ Sports that Affleck as dry as a freshly changed baby and the debate started before cameras started rolling, reaching a fevered pitch once the red light came on. During the diatribe, Affleck states that Deflate-Gate was not only a “bull-sh*t” story, the NFL should be more focused on other pressing issues like domestic violence and Eli Manning’s spread in the New York Post about what he does with a football before a game should be cause for concern as well.
Maybe the burden of Gotham City is on his back and it spilled over to the Deflategate discussion or maybe the clear fluid in his glass is humming “Luck Be A Lady.” Either way, it’s pretty entertaining.
