New dash-cam video of ESPN analyst Matt Miller's car crash last month has surfaced, raising further questions amid an ongoing investigation by the Missouri Attorney General's office into his fantasy football league dealings.
Miller, who covers the NFL Draft for ESPN, suffered life-threatening injuries in the June 17 crash in Jasper County, Missouri, including multiple fractures and broken ribs, which led to the eventual amputation of his left arm. He also underwent surgery to save his left leg.
Crash and Aftermath
The newly released video shows Miller's Ford Bronco veering across a double-yellow line on a two-lane road and colliding with an oncoming semi-truck. While the semi appeared to attempt to move out of the way, a collision occurred.
Following the crash, Miller announced his situation and promoted a GoFundMe campaign on his X account. The campaign's initial goal of $10,000 was raised to $55,000. However, the GoFundMe was reportedly paused at $51,000 around the time the Missouri Attorney General's office opened its investigation on July 2.
Fantasy Football Allegations
Around the time of the accident, a viral Reddit thread emerged with dozens of fans accusing Miller of suspicious practices in his fantasy football leagues. According to the fantasy football platform "Sleeper," Miller served as commissioner for 91 leagues last season. Many accusers claim that after starting leagues and collecting proceeds, which were sometimes advertised as partially going to charity, Miller would become unresponsive, leading to delayed or absent payouts for league members.
Investigation and ESPN Leave
The Missouri Attorney General's office is actively soliciting complaints from individuals with relevant information regarding Miller's alleged dealings, regardless of their residency.
In the weeks following the crash and the surfacing of the allegations, Miller announced he was stepping away from ESPN to focus on his recovery. ESPN placed him on leave, though sources indicated this was primarily for health reasons, with the social media chatter and AG's report to be addressed later.
Miller's social media posts regarding his recovery have become more restricted. While earlier updates were open to public comments and were frequently flooded with questions about the investigation and GoFundMe, his latest post was limited to "Only some accounts" that could reply, leading to a stark contrast in the nature of the responses received.
