Matt Damon on Yankees: "They're Going to Fold Like a Cheap Suit"

Matt Damon was interviewed on SIRIUS XM today and had quite a bit to say about the Patriots and Yankees:



Here's the transcript:

Matt Damon: “Patriots. That’s my pick, right there. 19-0.”
Host, Gary Williams: “19-0?!”
Damon: “19-0. But who cares? Let ‘em go 16-3, I don’t care, as long as they win the Super Bowl.”
Damon: “I had dinner with Tom [Brady] a year and a half ago – I don’t even want to jinx him because last time I called you he got hurt in the first game of the season – but in May of last year I had dinner with him, you know, a group of guys, a bunch of friends going out. Someone ordered red wine. There’s red wine on the table. Tom refused it. In May. I mean, he’s so intense and people like that win.”

Williams: “Meanwhile, your Red Sox, they’re only about 19 games back of the Yankees. Do they have anything for them in October?”
Damon: “Yeah, of course, man. October comes and everybody is 0-0. All we need to do is back into the wild card and we’re fine. We’re fine. Listen, New York, they’re going to collapse. They’re still, I mean, nobody on that team has won a World Series in... I mean, Jeter has but the rest of them…”
Williams: “Posada has, Pettitte has…”
Damon: “Nine years ago these guys won the World Series. They got so smoked by the Red Sox in ’04, I mean, I’m telling you, man. They’ve got the yips. They’re going to fold like a cheap suit. You watch, man. You watch. If we make it into the playoffs, man, we’re taking them down.”

Here is my response to Damon:



Take that, Will Hunting! How do you like 'dem apples?
