New York Giants kicker Josh Brown made headlines after old journals, emails, and letters revealed the physical and emotional abuse he inflicted on his now ex-wife, Molly.  The documents were gathered when Brown was charged with 4th-degree assault/domestic violence.  The charge was eventually dropped, Brown served a one-game suspension, and the incident was swept under the rug, until now.  Brown remained quiet for a while as tensions around the league continued to fester but today he released a statement through ESPN NFL Insider, Adam Schefter.  In the statement, Brown denies that he ever hit his wife, which is a flat out lie.  He also apologizes that his past has called the Giants integrity into question.  Um, the sorry needs to go to his wife who is so scared of him she had to use NFL security.

I am sorry that my past has called into question the character or integrity of The New York Giants, Mr. Mara or any of those who have supported me along the way. I have taken measures to get help so that I may be the voice of change, not a statistic. It is important to share that I never struck my wife, and never would. Abuse takes many forms, and is not a gray area. Through the past several years I have worked to identify and rectify my own behaviors. The road to rehabilitation is a journey and a constant modification of a way of life. My journey will continue forever as a person determined to leave a positive legacy and I embrace the opportunities to show and speak about what has helped me to be that man. In the interim, I am cooperating with the Giants and the NFL. Thank you to everyone that has supported me, I will not let you down.
