We are very sorry.
But we are about to discuss Deflategate again.
Yes, this topic has been talked about ad nauseam.
Yes, if you"re a New England Patriots fan, you think Tom Brady has been the victim of a witch hunt and if you"re not a New England Patriots fan, you probably think he deserves his four-game suspension for allegedly inflating footballs.
But we"re not here to talk about your feelings regarding Brady and this sports scandal.
We"re here to wonder whether or not Ben Affleck was drunk during his appearance on HBO last night.
The actor taped a segment with Bill Simmons for the new series Any Given Wednesday, sitting across from the host and GOING OFF on the whole Deflategate thing.
He dropped at least 20 F Bombs during his impressive rant.
Affleck, of course, may be the best known Boston sports fan on the planet.
He"s also friends with Tom Brady, having flown with the quarterback (and Affleck"s nanny!) on a private jet last year.
Will he bring Brady with him the next time he comes on the show, Simmons asked?
I’ll bring f-cking (Tom Brady),” Affleck replied. “It would be the greatest moment of my life if I got to talk to Tom Brady and just be like:
"‘Tell ’em, Tom! Tell ’em f-ck you! Tell ‘em you’re tired of the bull sh-t. I’m the f-ckng best quarterback ever! This is bull sh-t! Tell ’em!’ And then maybe he’ll tell them."
Social media users were quick to wonder after this interview aired whether Affleck was drunk during it.
And it"s possible.
But the segment was taped at 11 a.m., so it"s also unlikely. Although you never know.
Deflategate is a passionate issue for Boston sports fans, so we"re guessing Affleck was simply fired up about it and wanting to be an entertaining guest on Simmons" premiere episode.
Watch and decide for yourself:
