The Minnesota Vikings explained Everson Griffen's absence from Sunday's game
as a "personal matter," but it may have been due to a serious situation.
明尼苏达维京人队最近以“个人因素”，作为明星防守员Everson Griffen缺席周日对
比尔队球赛原因的说明。然而，实际的情形却远比那简单的书面声明还要严重。
A KSTP-TV report claims that Griffen was involved in an incident at a
Minneapolis hotel on Saturday night. According to a police report, someone
at the hotel was verbally threatening to shoot someone.
明尼苏达当地电视台KSTP的报导，指出EG在球赛前一天晚上卷入了一场在明城饭店
的纠纷事件。警方的报告显示，饭店里有位客人一直在口语激烈地威胁要枪杀某人
。
According to the report, staff at the hotel moved into a back office at one
point as Griffen paced around the lobby and threatened to assault hotel
employees if he wasn't allowed into his room. No gun was seen, according to
police, and Griffen was not arrested.
这份警方报告另外指出，当EG进入饭店大厅后，饭店的员工曾经退后到内勤办公室，
因为当时讲出威胁话语的正是EG本人–EG说假如不给他进入他订位过的专属客房，
他就要攻击饭店的员工。不过，警方随后在饭店并未看到枪枝，而EG本人也并未因此
被拘捕。
The Vikings issued a brief statement through Rick Spielman: "We are aware of
the situation involving Everson Griffen and certainly concerned by what we
have heard. We are currently focused on Everson's well-being and providing
the appropriate support for him and his family."
事件发生后，维京人队透过总管Rick Spielman发表了简单声明︰“我们很关心EG近来
的情形，也的确会因为我们听到的消息而感到困扰。但我们绝对会优先把焦点放在EG
的健康，并且提供他与他家人适当的支持。”
