Affleck became quite angry while discussing Deflategate scandal where he also defended football star Tom Brady.
Talking about his recent curse-filled appearance on Bill Simmons' "Any Given Wednesday", Affleck tweeted that he dropped the F-word 18 times not 12 as reported.

"We Boston fans have always been known for our subtlety. One of my favorite interviews; hope you get to see the entire episode. #GoPats," he wrote.
The footballer fought to overturn the decision, and it eventually was by a Manhattan federal judge. Back in April, however, the suspension was reinstated by the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals. Brady will sit out the first four games of the 2016 season.
