Holy reversal, Batman! Tom Jones changes mind on Deflategate

Turns out, I was wrong.

I admit it.

It took Batman to convince me. The worst Batman. The worst Batman who may or may not have had one or seven too many drinks before appearing on the debut of Bill Simmons' new HBO show Any Given Wednesday.

Ben Affleck — a good actor, but a crummier Batman than Val Kilmer and even Adam West — went on Simmons' show and took a sledgehammer to the NFL over its handling of Deflategate.

During his five-minute, slightly-slur-filled and expletive-laced tirade, Affleck managed to convince me that Deflategate might be the dumbest calamity and biggest miscarriage of justice in sports history.
