In a column published by Sports Illustrated on Sunday, Annie Apple, mother of New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple, criticized owner John Mara and the team for their handling of kicker Josh Brown following his alleged domestic abuse.
The NFL placed Brown on the commissioner's exempt list Friday after documents surfaced this week in which the veteran kicker admitted to domestic abuse against his wife.
Apple, a contributor to ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, had pointed words for Mara, who said Thursday during a radio interview with New York station WFAN, "[Brown] admitted to us he'd abused his wife in the past.
