ESPN analyst Matt Miller charged with misdemeanor in car crash

Missouri State Highway Patrol officers noted in their report that it was unknown whether Miller was under the influence of alcohol or marijuana. Per an email, the ESPN personality told The Athletic in July that his bloodwork could confirm he was not under the influence.

Soon after his accident, Miller launched a GoFundMe page to raise money for his medical expenses. He paused it on July 3 after several social media users accused him of past financial wrongdoing, but not before $51K was raised, including donations from fellow ESPN personalities Pat McAfee ($5.525K) and Mel Kiper Jr. ($1K). The Missouri attorney general's office announced it opened an investigation into Miller for allegedly scamming fantasy football players the same day.

The announcement came after Awful Announcing published a bombshell report on July 1, featuring complaints from fantasy players who alleged Miller never paid them their winnings in charity Sleeper Fantasy leagues. It also reported that Miller, a former professional scout, allegedly never provided paid-for scouting lessons. 

Awful Announcing shared that "nearly a dozen more people" came forward with similar accusations after the article was published. It noted he served as a commissioner in 91 fantasy leagues in 2025 before Sleeper banned him from its platform. 

Before joining ESPN, Miller served as Bleacher Report's lead NFL Draft writer from 2010-21. He previously worked for New Era Scouting (2006-10) and the CFL's Joplin Crusaders (2006-08). He has only used social media to discuss his accident and hasn't addressed this new charge or the ongoing investigation.
