Apropos of nothing, he's apparently a big Trump supporter.
Anyway, no need to binge watch any TV tonight, here's 2 hours of the very classy Damon and his very classy wife acting like utter boneheads:
Johnny Damon found himself behind bars in Florida on Friday after he was arrested for driving under the influence, but his wife was in even bigger trouble.
The former Yankees and Red Sox outfielder reportedly had a blood alcohol level between .294 and .300 — nearly four times the state limit of .08.
Damon, 47, was pulled over in Windermere, Fla., by police, who reportedly saw his SUV swerving at 1:23 a.m. When stopped, he was slurring and unsteady, TMZ reported. He admitted to drinking earlier in the night.
His wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, 45, got out of the vehicle despite officers asking her to stay inside. She was “uncooperative, combative …. and pushed a police officer,” according to TMZ.
When an officer tried to handcuff her, Damon attempted to intervene, leading to a scuffle to cuff them both.

“I really can’t say much because it’s an ongoing thing, but I would never put myself, my loved ones or anybody in harm’s way getting behind a vechile,” Damon said when asked what he would tell fans. “I’m always accountable for my actions and we will see what happens soon.”
Mangan-Damon was booked for battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence. Damon, an Orlando, Fla., native, was charged with DUI and resisting an officer without violence, according to police reports. That is a first-degree misdemeanor.
