Precisely why I said has been. Doesn't change the fact. It's still (to me at least) seemingly unpossible.

As I said...staggering.

Giants owner Mara 'comfortable' with NFL suspension of Brown

I bet he is.
A 1 game suspension instead of 6 games. Mara & Roger Goodell are laughing having a drink somewhere. Slimeballs Bar & Grill
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A visibly shaken Giants owner John Mara said Wednesday he was fine with the NFL's suspension of placekicker Josh Brown for one game, despite allegations Brown abused his ex-wife as many as 20 times prior to the Giants signing Brown to a two-year extension last spring.
"Based on the facts that were placed in front of us, we're comfortable with our decision to re-sign Josh and the league's suspension," Mara said in an emotional address to the media while his team practiced. "The easiest thing for us to do would be to get a new kicker. We're trying to be fair to Josh. The easiest thing would be to say, 'Terminate him, get rid of him.' We're trying to do the right thing. It's not always easy."
The 37-year-old Brown was arrested in May 2015, when he allegedly grabbed his ex-wife Molly by the throat and held her down with his knee in their Woodinville, Washington home. Brown was charged with fourth-degree domestic assault. Five days later, the King County prosecutor's office dropped the charges because of insufficient evidence. It was reported that Brown's ex-wife dropped the charges.

After the NFL hit Brown with a one-game suspension instead of the six games mandated by the league's new personal conduct policy, Molly Brown told media she was physically accosted at least 20 times, including once when she was pregnant in 2009.
Mara said Wednesday he was aware of the entire situation — and still sticks by his embattled kicker.
"When we made the decision to re-sign Josh, we were certainly aware of the arrest," Mara said. "We were also aware of the circumstances involved. The charges were dropped. Nothing has happened to make us change our position. We did our due diligence."
Brown signed a two-year, $4 million contract last spring, one that included a $500,000 signing bonus and $1 million guaranteed. Mara said he was privy to the information the NFL had collected on Brown.
"We're aware that there were allegations against Josh," Mara said. "We knew that the NFL would conduct an investigation. We're well aware that there were other (incidents). One of the things you learn is that there is a big difference between allegations and convictions. (Uh, John, "more probable than not"? What say you about TBrady and his 4 games over allegations but no proof or convictions?) It's important to sort all those things out. We're not going to get into the number of conversations we had with a number of people. We will live with the results of the (NFL investigation) and move forward.
"A lot of time, people try to make it black and white," Mara added. "There are two sides to everything. Very rarely you have a Ray Rice video."
Mara referred to the video of the former Baltimore Ravens running back punching his now-wife in the face and knocking her out in an Atlantic City casino elevator, a punch that has essentially ended Rice's football career.
Mara said he was reluctant to even address the situation, but felt the need.
"I hesitated to get into it, because it is such a sensitive and difficult decision," Mara said. "We had a lot of facts presented to us. We did our homework here. Nothing is going to be said to change that decision."

Listening to Sports Radio this morning on the way in to work and they brought a valid point.

It seems the NFL is more interested in video of domestic violence than they are about domestic violence.
 
OK, I'll make the non-PC post. I actually don't know why they suspended him at all. The charges were dropped long ago. No one was talking about this, or even knew anything about it, until the 1 game suspension was announced. Also, under their DV policy, the first offense is supposed to be a 6 game suspension, not 1.

This seems so out of character for Goodell, to mishandle a situation and create a media storm.

JPP said this about Brown: "It is what it is. I think he’s suspended one game. It doesn’t matter — we’re all family around here."

We're all family. Except Brown's wife. F**k her. JPP can eat a bag of d*cks.

JPP couldn't put his finger on the point because he was blown away by the one game suspension.


EVERY city Brown and his victim moved to responded to calls of DV, what additional evidence is needed?

Let's hope they're out in full before their first game to protest. Or holding up signs in the stands.

You don't like my idea of an eye blacked out with eye black?

How symbolic to Rog and his gang.

Ole Mara might have a heart attack, seeming so shaken with the blowback from this.

Dicks.

Ridiculous.

Let me paint how this plays out, time and time again:

Abuser gets rankled. Can't control his asinine impulses. Big, tough guy gets physically imposing with someone half or a third his weight. Wow. Impressive.

Abused is broken down. Downtrodden. Beat. Both emotionally and physically. When the physical finally comes to a close and they've had enough, not gonna take another incident(for now), a call is made.

Police show.

Seperate. Interview. Perp is brought in. Questioned more. Usually booked. Restraining orders filed. Cool down period.

And here's where the real craziness kicks in.

Browns significant other probably hasn't worked a day in her life. Likes getting her chunk of NFL cash. He calls.

"Way to go"

"You did it"

"You called the cops. I'm up for discipline. Suspension minimum. My age I could be cut. There goes the money stream. Good job."

"I'll drop the charges"

And so the victim 9 out of 10 drops charges and the prosecution doesn't press the A&B.

Instead, they end up investigating a murder.

Josh Brown situation gets worse for Giants, NFL

John Mara: Giants were comfortable re-signing Josh Brown

NFL Media's Kim Jones has the latest from the New York Giants on the team's troubles with Josh Brown.
The NFL and/or the New York Giants aren’t very good at public records requests, it seems.

The league said it gave Giants kicker Josh Brown a one-game suspension for a misdemeanor domestic violence arrest, and not a standard six-game suspension (which the new domestic violence policy said Brown should have gotten) because Brown’s then-wife didn’t speak to the league and during a 10-month investigation, “we also made numerous requests — as late as this spring — to local law enforcement officers for information on the case and previous allegations.”

And apparently in those 10 months they couldn’t find that Brown had violated a protective order two months after his arrest.

ESPN and USA Today cited a police report — which is readily available upon request — which said Brown was spotted by his then-wife driving his pickup near the driveway of their house in Washington in July of 2015. Brown’s ex-wife had a protective order which prevented Brown from being within 500 feet of her.

“He drove by the house and I looked in the rearview mirror,” his wife wrote in her statement to police, according to USA Today. “Josh knows about the order and cannot come within 500 feet form the house. I have no idea why Josh would come by my the house.”

Brown was arrested on a misdemeanor count of violating the protection order a day later, USA Today reported. They again cited the documents, which are part of public record.

The NFL’s decision to give Brown a one-game suspension instead of the six it outlined in its policy has been widely criticized, and the Giants’ support of him has been odd too, especially after coach Ben McAdoo said in January that the one thing he wouldn’t tolerate was domestic violence. The excuse that Brown’s ex-wife wouldn’t talk doesn’t make a lot of sense either, considering that hasn’t been a precedent. For example, Greg Hardy was suspended in 2015 and his alleged victim isn’t known to have spoken to the NFL.

It’s all a pretty embarrassing mess for the league and the Giants, who didn’t seem too interested in finding out everything there was to know about Brown’s case.

We pretty much expect this type of bumbling/cover up from the league now, don't we? I love that Yahoo calls it on them time and again.

I'm going to the game on Thursday. Can't wait to hear the boos for Brady and cheers for this POS and ask people around me how that makes sense.
