Jimmy Kimmel gets to the bottom of Deflategate with star cameos

Share

As we head into Super Bowl weekend, the cloud of the semi-deflated footballs still hangs over the New England Patriots.

For hardcore football fans, figuring out if a Patriots employee did indeed deliberately let air out of the footballs in order to gain advantage over the Indianapolis Colts has become the mystery of the year.

As Jimmy Kimmel noted in his monologue on Thursday night, sometimes a situation like this tends to bring out the crazies, eager to confess to a crime -- any crime -- in order to get some attention and notoriety.

“I don’t know if the people we’re about to see are trying to protect Tom Brady or they want attention or if they’re mentally ill.”

Cue the Boston faithful, led by some very familiar faces. Is that Matt Damon? No, he sure doesn’t act like a movie star.

And that guy looks like Chris Evans. But with a big fake mustache.

Other familiar faces include Ben Affleck, Steven Tyler, Dicky Barrett, John Krasinski, Eli Roth and Grantland’s Bill Simmons.

They all admit: “I’m the locker room guy!”

Is it possible, all of Boston is the locker room guy?
