3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 11

Summary

  • Matt Miller said he is stepping away from ESPN indefinitely while recovering in hospital from a crash that led to the amputation of his left arm and surgeries on his femur and patella.
  • Missouri's attorney general has opened an investigation into allegations that Miller, who reportedly ran 91 fantasy football leagues last season, failed to pay some winners and went silent after collecting entry fees.
  • Players told Awful Announcing some payouts arrived only after Miller's accident and after a GoFundMe for his recovery was launched; that fundraiser is now paused at about $51,000.
  • Miller has not addressed the payout allegations directly, and his latest X post limited replies after earlier public updates were flooded with comments about the Reddit thread and investigation.
