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:

"Deflategate is the ultimate bulls--- f---ing outrage of sports, ever. It's so f---ing stupid that I can't believe it. You realize, they gave [Tom Brady] a suspension for a quarter of the regular season, which would be the equivalent of suspending a baseball player for 40 f---ing days, which is what they do when you get busted taking steroids. 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]
