New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has spent a lot of time denying any involvement with the (allegedly) deflated footballs used in the team’s semifinal game against the Indianapolis Colts.
In a Thursday night sketch, Jimmy Kimmel rounded up a a bunch of famous Bostonians to help defend Brady’s honor. Ben Affleck, Tom Brady, John Krasinski, Chris Evans and others bust out their best blue-collar Boston accents to assure us Brady did not let air out of the balls. In fact, they go ahead and claim personal responsibility.
They also make sure to point out how handsome and perfect and amazing they think Brady is. Could anyone that handsome and perfect and amazing really cheat?
