Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has already been fined by his teammates for farting in meetings, so it may not be a surprise that Miller's absence from practice on Wednesday due to illness was the direct result of some...umm, gastrointestinal distress.
"Mozzarella sticks — you can’t put just regular gas in a Ferrari,” Miller said on Thursday when asked what sidelined him. “I learned that yesterday. I’m back to normal now. I’m ready to go.”
When asked to elaborate, Miller singled out a fried cheese/Icee cocktail consumed while watching Star Wars as the reason for his absence.
“It did me bad. I learned my lesson,” he said. “The force struck back.”
We have no word on whether or not Miller incurred more fines on Thursday while releasing some of the "stress" from his Star Wars binge, but we'll have official word on a potential farting escapade as additional information is made available.
