Thread: Von knows how to make an impression before his appeal - gets arrested

News piece:

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. - Denver Broncos star linebacker Von Miller was arrested Sunday at the Centennial Gun Club on a failure to appear warrant.

Court records show Miller, 24, was arrested for not appearing at his court hearing on a charge from last October when he was cited for careless driving, driving without a license and no proof of insurance.

Court records show Miller was scheduled for arraignment on Dec. 31, the day after the Broncos' final regular season game in Denver. The arrest warrant was issued Jan. 2.

Broncos statement:

“We have been aware of the matter involving Von Miller’s failure to appear in court for traffic violations...It was reported to the league earlier this week and is being handled through the legal system.”

My statement:

Oh God.


Really, I question the IQ of athletes sometimes.

Confirmed not very smart.

Well, I guess it will be 4 games afterall.

Idiot.

Now, it's not like he did something today to get arrested for, they just "coincidentally" decided to look him up today for his 8 month outstanding warrant. Somebody's not a fan of his. Chiefs leos.

Still - go to court on time and pay your friggin' fine, moron.

Bad timing and bad decisions all around. Heard this on 102.3 ESPN locally just after they broke news about Tom Brady going down at training camp today. I wonder if this can be used in the appeal decision or is a separate incident that can't factor in?

WOW, is all i can say.

I have a bad feeling Von isnt going to win his appeal and we wont see him play until week 5. Even before this happened I did. Players rarely win appeals.


We are screwed...

I wonder if he has any clauses in his contract where we can get some money back.

for the record: if von miller has a career similar to lawrence taylor's or charles haley's production on the field, i can live with the mistakes - as long as rape or murder aren't part of it.

also for the record: if anyone else on the defense not named champ had a summer like von this board would be full of "cut him" comments.

How can you be Von Miller and fail to appear for a minor traffic offense? Doesn't he have legal representation? How in the world does this happen? This is borderline idiotic - DJ Williams type stuff.

If Von breaks out his "I'm a god-fearing man who careless drives for the Lord" routine, I'm gonna punch him in the throat.

Then run like hell.

Or MAIL then fine in maybe? Every ticket I have got they give me an option to mail the fine in. If you want traffic school or a reduced fine then show up to court. I just finished traffic school last week, even payed extra for them to send everything that same day to DMV and the Courts. If I can do it then Von sure as hell can do it. There's simply no excuse for a warrant, none!

And it would be justified.

Von is our best defensive player.....so this really sucks!
