So Vontae Davis wanted to tear Brandon Marshall’s head off his body, right? Well, that’s not the reason that Davis did not travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs with his Miami Dolphins. He didn’t travel because on Saturday morning, he was in horrible shape. From The Miami Herald: The Dolphins believe Davis was drunk the night before the Saturday practice to which he was late. And when he showed up at the Miami facility, a source said Davis had the smell of alcohol and was suffering from an apparent hangover. Davis and several other teammates had apparently been out late Friday. Davis was the only one late. Maybe a Dolphins player should get drunk before every Saturday practice. It seemed to work with Davis getting drunk; the Dolphins went to Kansas City and won 31-3 yesterday. That’s the Dolphins first win of the season and Tony Sparano’s first sorta sigh of relief.
