Blame it on this Man!

When he left he said he was sick of the man in Seattle, I guess the man in NY was the bad one.

Little did we know, "the man" was himself. No matter where you go Josh, YOU will always show up. Or maybe it was "the man" that he was seeing? Or "the man" that his wife was seeing?

What a jackass. Glad he bolted to the Rams, as dirty as he is he should still be with them.

What an A-hole! If the Giants don't cut him they show what a horrible organization they are! I'm not sure why they would take a chance on further scarring the organization for a 37 year old kicker. I don't see much difference between him and Ray Rice, we might not have it on film but for some reason he documented which is very bizarre! I hope he never puts on a uniform again!

TLDR: the NFL has established a history of dragging its feet or half-assing investigations – maybe intentionally – into domestic violence. Roger Goodell revisits cases and his punishment after an outside source reveals the truth. Skip to below the line for a quick timeline of recent cases.

There was enough info available to the League and the Giants when Josh Brown was arrested in May 2015. The League "botched" the investigation, according to King County sheriff John Urquhart, by not identifying itself as the NFL when requesting documents.

Did the League sweep the Josh Brown case under the rug for more than a year because of inconvenient timing? Keep in mind, Brown was arrested just 9 months after the NFL admitted "missteps" in the Ray Rice case and a mere 3 weeks after the Greg Hardy suspension.

The Ray Rice incident took place on Feb 15, 2014. Ozzie Newsome testified on Nov 6, 2014, that Goodell knew exactly what happened in that elevator. Complete Ray Rice timeline. From the actual punch to the release of the punch video by TMZ was 7 months. During that time, coaches, the GM, the League, stood by Ray, and he accepted his two-game suspension. His lawyer called it "a minor physical altercation." Only after TMZ called BS did Goodell turn tail and say, "Simply put, we have to do better. And we will." The NFL pledged to develop a new DV policy.

After that, several reports surfaced that show Goodell, the League office, and the Ravens knew exactly what had happened.

Just 3 months after the elevator punch, May 13, 2014 to be exact, Greg Hardy assaulted his girlfriend. He spent that season collecting $13M while sitting on Goodell's exempt list. According to the North Carolina prosecutor, some of Hardy's money went to the girlfriend so she wouldn't testify at the appeal. It was 11 months later when Hardy was suspended, and 3 months after that the suspension was reduced. Complete Greg Hardy timeline.
