Ben Affleck completely loses it over Deflategate on Bill Simmons' Any Given Wednesday
Ben Affleck had some feelings about Deflategate that he, uh, needed to get off his chest last night during the debut of Bill Simmons' Any Given Wednesday:

And by the way, if the NFL had real testing, if it really knew how to test for steroids, HGH, there'd be no f---ing NFL." [Any Given Wednesday]
