Sometimes you have to be able to read between the lines.
It was reported that Montee Ball was involved in an altercation that took place where Wisconsin football players beat someone up.
In turn that might have been the reason Ball was beat up himself.
He went to Twitter to defend himself.
The report that I was involved in a fight is totally false.

Let’s take Ball’s word, but did he witness a fight? Will he deny that a fight took place? Was he around when his teammates allegedly beat up someone?
Ball might not have thrown the punch, but might have taken the ass whopping for something his teammates did. If that is the case, that is just how the ball bounces at times.
