TMI, Von: Denver Broncos have a fart tax, and Von Miller pays up a lot
Von Miller is apparently quite prolific on the field and also in the Denver Broncos’ meeting rooms, where he is the champion of passing gas.

You never quite know in which direction an athlete’s media session will go, and Miller’s took us down a rabbit hole that nobody really wanted to go into. The Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala explains:
Miller, the Broncos’ standout pass rusher, went on to explain this unfortunate episode of “Athletes: They’re Just Like Us!”
Does this mean you can let ‘er rip at work, because Miller does? No. Does it mean you can tax a co-worker who does so in the cubicle next to yours? Perhaps, check with your supervisors.
It really isn’t that unusual for a sports team to have a kangaroo court and dole out silly fines like that to each other. A team having a fart tax probably isn’t unique either. But it goes to show, you ask enough questions of NFL players and you’re bound to find out something you probably didn’t want to know.
