New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to domestic violence in letters, emails and a journal, according to police documents.The documents were part of Browns final case file by the King County (Washington) Sheriffs Office stemming from a May 22, 2015, arrest following an incident with his wife, Molly Brown. The sheriffs office and prosecutors office initially decided to postpone the filing of charges, pending further investigation, with the sheriffs office recommending that the prosecutors office file charges of two counts of fourth-degree domestic assault. As of September 2016, charges had not been filed.In one of Browns journal entries obtained as part of the investigation, he writes: I have abused my wife.The Giants were unaware of Browns journal entries, emails and letters admitting domestic violence, according to a team spokesman. They had not read or heard about them before their release on Wednesday.An NFL Players Association source told ESPNs Jane McManus on Thursday that the union was not aware of Browns journals that admitted abuse before they were revealed to the media.Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr., who watched his mother suffer abuse when he was a child, took to Twitter to blast Brown and wrote, what a shame NFL acts like it cares. Smith Sr. also has called out former Carolina Panthers teammate Greg Hardy in the past for his comments on domestic violence.Molly Brown told police that he had been physically violent with her in more than 20 instances during the past several years.In the police documents released Wednesday, Brown admitted he had been a liar for most of my life. He claimed to have a porn addiction and having been abusive to women all the way back to the age of 7, after being molested as a young boy.I objectified women and never really worried about the pain and hurt I caused them, Brown wrote in an email.There was also a 2013 Contract for Change signed by Brown, his wife and counselor Jerry Price. Item No. 2 states that Josh Brown had physically, verbally and emotionally abused Molly.In a letter to friends in 2014 that Josh Brown warned would be hard to read, he admitted to carrying an overwhelming sense of entitlement. He said he viewed himself as God and that Molly was basically his slave.In one journal entry, Brown wrote that he has physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally been a repulsive man. Several sentences later, he said he abused his wife. He also detailed his arrogant and manipulative thinking and possessiveness.In another journal entry, Brown wrote that his wife filed for divorce because he was abusive. He listed losing his marriage and living with the reputation of an abuser as fears of his.The Giants re-signed Brown during the offseason to a two-year, $4 million deal. The team has supported him despite the arrest and allegations, with?Giants co-owner John Mara saying in August: I believe all the facts and circumstances, and we were comfortable with our decision to re-sign him.It is not clear if the Giants or the NFL were aware of his written admissions provided by police and publicized Wednesday. In a follow-up report filed by the King County Sheriffs department, Molly did indicate that the league was aware of one incident involving her husband. She told police that Brown invited her and her children to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii in January. He said that she would have a separate room.At some point, Molly Brown told police that Brown showed up drunk and was pounding on her door to let in. Molly refused to let Josh in, and eventually had to call NFL and hotel security. Josh was escorted away from Mollys room and the NFL ended up having to put Molly and the kids up in a different hotel room where Josh would not where they were.The league did suspend Brown for?one game without pay?in August?for?violating its personal conduct policy, and he sat out the Giants season opener.?The NFLs domestic violence policy establishes a six-game baseline for first offenses but allows for aggravating circumstances that can make the suspension longer or mitigating circumstances that can make it shorter.Brown and the NFL Players Association argued that there should be no suspension, but the NFL determined that the one incident about which the original report was filed required it to act.In 2001, Brown pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault charges when he was a junior at Nebraska after getting into a fight with a man dating Browns ex-girlfriend, who was thrown to the ground by Brown in the scuffle, according to an Associated Press report.?The assault resulted in a suspension for Nebraskas 2001 season opener and a $350 fine, according to a Lincoln (Nebraska) Journal-Star report.

NEW YORK -- For 68 minutes out on Arthur Ashe Stadium, it looked like the king was back.Novak Djokovic told EPSN analyst Brad Gilbert on his way out to the court that I missed tennis, to be honest -- he had played just six games and 31 minutes in the past five days since his opener at Flushing Meadows.Tennis and Djokovic were reunited Sunday night, with Kyle Edmund, Andy Murrays young 21-year-old British protege, given a lesson in the first two sets by a master who was not even at his best.I thought I came out of the blocks really good, Djokovic said in an on-court interview, after wrapping up his 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 win. I had a high intensity. Its not easy waiting the entire day, until 10 30 in the evening, to start with the right intensity.But I made Kyle work for each point. I wanted to move him around the court. The baseline shots, both the forehand and the backhand were working well. Im most pleased with that.For those first two sets, it was as one-sided as it gets in a round-of-16 major tie. The Serb, who had won their only other meeting 6-3, 6-3 at Miami earlier this year, was ruthlessly efficient; he was as frighteningly flexible on defense as ever, sliding and stretching and returning everything.He anticipated almost every shot Edmund would make -- he got the text before Edmund even sent it, as Gilbert said on commentary.All the questions Djokovic faced coming into the tournament, into this match -- the personal problems that contributed to his early Wimbledon exit; his first-round defeat in Rio; withdrawing from Cincinnati; the wrist and arm injuries he struggled with in his unconvincing first-round win against Jerzy Janowicz; the lack of time on court here -- were all being emphatically answered.It even looked like the crowd was going to see a second match of the night session, which was shorter than the wait they faced to get into Ashe Stadium, after Lucas Pouille finally beat Rafael Nadal in 4 hours, 7 minutes, finishing their day-session matchup around 7:30 p.m and delaying the start of proceedings.But then Djokovics injury problems resurfaced, and Edmund -- whom the world No. 1 had toyed with up until that point -- got up off the canvas to battle back from 2-0 down to 2-2 in the third set.Djokovic began to llook at his box.dddddddddddd He called for the ATP trainer, Clay Sniteman, and received vigorous treatment to his right elbow in a three-minute medical timeout. When they stepped back out, Edmund immediately broke him for a 3-2 lead, in what was a wild turn of events. Suddenly there was a sense that it could become an uncomfortable night for the Serb.But the crisis was averted and Djokovic, seemingly almost affronted by having his superiority questioned, restored normal order by breaking Edmund twice more to close out the win in 1 hour, 55 minutes.The No. 1 concern to Djokovic, though, will be the seven double faults he committed, and the paltry three aces he sent down. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, his quarterfinal opponent at Flushing Meadows, could well take it to him if he serves up similar stats on Tuesday.The treatment Djokovic received on his elbow had also looked painful. No, it was good. It was good. Everything was fine, he later told a media conference.When asked why he called for the trainer, Djokovic smiled and tried to bat away any concern with his characteristic humour. I needed a little bit of massage, he quipped. I like Clay. That was a little deal we had before the match.The world No. 1s four completed sets were the fewest any man has played to get to the second week of a major in the Open era, and, in the end, he was just glad to shake off the cobwebs.Im feeling very good. I really wanted to start the match well today because I didnt have much time on the court overall before the fourth round, he added. Very pleased, except a little drop in the level in the third set, midway through the third set. Other than that, everything was great.Considering I had some struggles before the tournament, I feel great at this moment physically; mentally as well Im motivated. So coming into the second week of a Grand Slam quarterfinals feeling good, its exactly where I want to be.Unusually for Djokovic, he faced a lot of question marks coming into this US Open, more than he has had to answer at the start of a major for a long time, and the stark truth is that not all of them have been answered yet.
