Manipulation???

Sunday morning I noticed 2 text messages on my cell phone from OMM; they came in at 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. He was participating in a sports tournament over the weekend and just HAD to share with me that 1) he was having a "wicked" time with 8 of his teammates at some hotel, and 2) he got in a fight with another competitor at about 2:00 a.m. Does this sound like anything anyone would do if they hadn't been drinking quite a bit????????? And here's where the guilt part comes in. OMM recently got involved in recovery from alcoholism; he had about 4 months sober (I've been in recovery for 18 months). Is there any legitimate reason to send me these crazy messages in the middle of the night, especially since we're broken up, if he isn't drunk????? I can't imagine it if there is, even if going out with your teammates and acting like a complete high-testosterone jerk IS a "guy thing." So, I guess if the OMM is drinking again, he would probably blame me for the relapse, because I broke his heart. I can't help but feel this was manipulative, and an attempt to "show me" what I did to him. Both of his text messages ended with "I'm sure you're doing fine."
So part of me is very thankful that I never did decide to end my marriage to marry the OMM because I don't think he's over thinking that its "cool" to act like a high school "jock" or maybe he fantasizes he's a professional "player." Whatever. I just needed to get that off my chest; thanks for listening.
