AceShowbiz - Many have come forward to take the blame for Deflategate and they include celebrities like Matt Damon, Chris Evans, Ben Affleck and John Krasinski. These actors along with singer Steven Tyler, director/producer Eli Roth, musician/actor Dicky Barrett and Bill Simmons appeared in a funny sketch for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in which they admitted to deflating the balls.
Each of them assumed a fake identity with Evans even sporting a big fake mustache, sharing a different story of why he deflated the balls. Damon said he squeezed little air from the balls to help his sick nephew who coughed a lot, while Krasinski explained that he used the air from the footballs to help re-inflate the Goodyear Blimp.
Affleck, in a thick accent, said, "Who are you going to believe? Tom Brady, the greatest man in all of humanity, or a bunch of (expletive) on Twitter?" All of these guys then claimed, "I'm the locker room guy!" The skit ended with Jimmy Kimmel mocking his longtime "nemesis" Damon, "Do you know why you acted alone? ... Cuz nobody wants to act with you."
Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick denied that they had anything to do with the 11 out of 12 deflated footballs that were used during the AFC Championship game against Indianapolis Colts on January 18. The NFL reportedly is now focusing the investigation on the team's locker room attendant who might be the culprit.
