Von Miller blames mozzarella sticks for sickness

Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller revealed Thursday the reason for his surprise absence from Broncos' practice Wednesday — bad mozzarella sticks.

Miller said he sneaked away to go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens at a movie theater Tuesday and decided to break his diet to get two Icees and an order of mozzarella sticks.

He began to start feeling sick near the end of the movie and it caused him to miss Wednesday's practice as he recovered.

"Can't put regular gas in a Ferrari. I learned that," Miller said.

The good news — Miller said he's back to 100 percent and he's going to stay away from movie theater food for a while.
