A Washington state sheriff went on the defensive after the NFL made a statement about how his office handled information requests into a domestic violence investigation against New York Giants kicker Josh Brown.
The NFL said its investigators had repeatedly attempted to obtain more information on Brown but were denied by the King County Sheriff John Urquhart's office.
Urquhart told Seattle radio station KIRO on Thursday that the investigator never identified himself as being part of the league.
" NFL, National Football League,' he could have [said] any of that," Urquhart said.
