Giants kicker Josh Brown’s days in the NFL are probably numbered, but the situation he’s involved in continues to spiral out of control.
After he was released by the Giants, both he and the team released statements. However, you’ll notice that the two statements are quite different. Here’s the one that Brown delivered, via ESPN’s Adam Schefter (pay close attention to the beginning of it).
“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.”
The Giants released a statement that was a bit shorter.

It wasn’t the Giants who left out the “never struck my wife” part, though. That’s the statement Brown gave to them.
Giants say their Josh Brown statement was received last night. The ESPN one w/the “I never struck my wife” part, was an updated version.

This situation continues to get more and more complicated, but it’s not looking good for Brown. It appears that he’s just trying to save face right now, but only the truth will set him free.
