Sheriff: NFL didn't go through proper channels to get Josh Brown info

A Washington state sheriff ripped the NFL after the league made a statement about how his department handled information requests into a domestic violence investigation involving New York Giants placekicker Josh Brown.

The King's County Sheriff's Department released documents this week in which Brown acknowledged that he physically abused his ex-wife.

The NFL says it tried on multiple occasions to get information about Brown, but were denied by the King County's sheriff office.

Each of those requests was denied and the Sheriff's Office declined to provide any of the requested information, which ultimately limited our ability to fully investigate this matter," the NFL said in a statement.
