Giants Kicker Josh Brown Won’t Travel to London

An NFL player, suspended for only one game at the start of this season, wrote in journal entries and e-mails about verbally, mentally, emotionally and physically abusing his wife.

FOX’s Chris Hoenig reports:

In one entry, Giants kicker Josh Brown writes, “from the bruise on your leg when we argued, to the zipper that caught you last April, I am ashamed and disgraced to call myself a husband.”

The disclosure of the journals emails leading the NFL to reopen their investigation into Brown, whose now-ex-wife says abused her on at least 20 occasions.

Team president John Mara and the league say they weren’t told by a Washington sheriff’s office about the 165 pages of new documents until this week:

(Mara) “Based on the facts and circumstances that we were aware of at that time, we were comfortable with our decision to resign him.”

The 37-year-old not traveling with the team to London for their game against the Rams Sunday morning. The Giants say they will revisit his status after they get back.
