The strangest and most distracting headline from the past two days of training camp has to be the big mystery behind why Matt Roth hasn't participated in practice. The initial reports from Tony Sparano was that Roth told him he was feeling sick. Then his agent goes on TV and tells the world that Roth is dealing with a groin injury. This, as it turns out, is news to Sparano. Meanwhile, the team says that Roth failed a conditioning test, was placed on the PUP list, and that tests for any illnesses
came back negative. Sparano also says that Roth
signed a statement before camp saying that he had no illnesses or injuries.
Ethan Skolnick's take is that
there was some miscommunication. FN believes the controversy goes beyond that. I e-mailed Dat Roro Kid and asked him his take. Between work and work jerks, he replied with his theory: Roth was hungover. While all of DRK's philosophies and theories about life, the universe, and everything always ends with heavy drinking and hardcore fucking, I have to side with him here and agree that maybe, just maybe, Roth woke up as we all do after a night of getting sloshed in South Beach and told the coach he was feeling under the weather. In hopes of sweeping this thing under the rug (and by that we, of course, mean make shit a whole lot worse), uber agent and master twitter, Drew Rosenhaus told us all that it's a minor groin injury and that it'll all blow over. And now, instead of talking about how awesome Davone Bess is looking, we're dealing with this shit.
Groin pull? Swine flu? A night of getting shit-faced and snorting blow off a hooker's ass? Miscommunication? Whatever it is, someone's gonna get a massive cockpunch before this is all said and done. I'd start with
this douchetard.
