Matt Damon on Brady returning after suspension: ‘Tom’s going to be pissed’

Following Tom Brady’s Deflategate scandal, Matt Damon and other famous Patriots fans admitted to being the “Locker Room Guy’’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Jimmy Kimmel Live! / YouTube

Ben Affleck isn’t the only one with some opinions about Tom Brady and Deflategate.

Matt Damon appeared on “The Rich Eisen Show”on Tuesday and shared his dispproval about the league’s decision to give the quarterback a four-game suspension—though his rant was less expletive-laden compared to his best bud.

“It’s just the slipshod way that they were measuring these footballs to begin with,” Damon said. “There was absolutely no science involved, they were giving them this cantaloupe test. And when they switched his balls out at halftime of that Colts game, I don’t think people remember that Tommy went out and scored four straight touchdowns with the overinflated balls that they gave him.”

Damon, a Cambridge native, also said he thinks Brady will be “pissed” upon his return heading into week 5, but that the Patriots quarterback’s anger isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“Him pissed is a good thing for the New England Patriots’ faithful,” Damon said. “We love seeing him like that. Because he’s as focused a human being as I’ve met anyway.”
