Matt Damon, Chris Evans Confess to Deflategate on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

Matt Damon did it.

Capping off a banner year of boneheaded NFL headlines this week was the so-called Deflategate, the mind-numbing “scandal” surrounding whether the New England Patriots deflated footballs in the Jan. 18 AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts, which the Patriots won 45-7.

In response to the NFL’s search for a ball boy to hold accountable for the mishap, a cadre of Boston natives aired their confessions on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Thursday, including Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Chris Evans, Jon Krasinski, Steven Tyler and Bill Simmons, all claiming, “I am the locker room guy.”

Hopefully, this will definitively end the media scrum, as Tom Brady clearly could not have done it; just look at those piercing baby blue eyes.
