Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Von Miller has been notorious for more than his dominating performances on the defensive side of the ball. But it was more about bodily functions rather than his physical capabilities. In 2015, the former Broncos player had to pay a steep fine for something he had no control over. Miller was notorious for his flatulence during team meetings. It was a unique situation and the team found a different way of dealing with it. The team was trying everything towards discouraging Miller’s poor habit.

According to reports from ESPN’s Darren Rovell, Miller was drawing $500 fines for every uncontrollable flatulence in the locker room. It had accumulated to possibly $15,000, according to some media outlets throughout the season. The issues with Miller’s control regarding the flatulence potentially made his pockets feel a little lighter.
