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 Urquharts 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. Robert Agnew, Comcast.net, post office box in Woodinville. We had no idea who this yokel is.The King County Sheriffs Office investigated Brown -- a former Seattle Seahawks player -- for domestic violence in 2015. The misdemeanor charge was dropped within days of Browns arrest in Woodinville, Washington, last May.?Nowhere on the request does he say that [Agnew] works for the NFL and so, we dont know that its the NFL and were not gonna give it out anyway, so we denied it, Urquhart said Thursday.In one of Browns journal entries obtained as part of the investigation, he wrote, I have abused my wife.The sheriffs office released more than 150 pages of documents on Wednesday that appear to show evidence of Browns physical and verbal abuse of his ex-wife on more than 20 occasions.Natalie Ravitz, the NFLs senior vice president of communications, posted in a series of tweets Friday morning that the league made multiple requests to the King County Sheriffs Office in 2015 for information regarding Browns arrest. Ravitz also tweeted photos of two documents -- the leagues public information request and a police report -- which she said proves that the NFL attempted to gather the information.In an interview with BBC Sport, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reiterated that the league asked repeatedly for more information on Brown and wasnt able to gain access to it.We take this issue incredibly seriously, he told BBC Sport. This is something weve been working on with policy changes, to educating our players to make sure they understand how they deal with issues with their family, give them resources to be able to deal with this. But when it happens were not going to tolerate it. So we have some new information here, well evaluate that in the context of our policy, and well take it from there.Brown received a one-game suspension from the league earlier this season, but the NFL now plans to review the new information.Asked whether Brown can expect further punishment, Goodell told BBC Sport, The policy the way its structured right now is for an incident. And it can be reduced or increased on the basis that first offense is six games, second offence is banishment. So its the only policy, the only issue where we have that type of penalty.Urquhart said other investigators identified themselves as NFL representatives but they were denied since it was an open investigation.?Urquhart said if the league had gone through proper public disclosure channels, the request would have gone straight to him, and he?would have been able to help out more.I would have said exactly the same thing, We cannot release the case file,?he said. But since this is a hot-button item in the NFL, since its the NFL, we probably would have told them orally a little bit more about what we had.?I dont like to get pushed around by a bully.The league released the following full statement Thursday, regarding Browns case:NFL investigators made repeated attempts -- both orally and in writing -- to obtain any and all evidence and relevant information in this case from the King County Sheriffs Office. Each of those requests was denied and the Sheriffs Office declined to provide any of the requested information, which ultimately limited our ability to fully investigate this matter. We concluded our own investigation, more than a year after the initial incident, based on the facts and evidence available to us at the time and after making exhaustive attempts to obtain information in a timely fashion. It is unfortunate that we did not have the benefit or knowledge of these materials at the time.In light of the release of these documents yesterday, we will thoroughly review the additional information and determine next steps in the context of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. We will not be making any comments on potential discipline until that time.The Giants announced Thursday that Brown will not travel with the team to London for Sundays game against the Los Angeles Rams. The team said it will review the newly released documents from the Brown investigation and revisit the issue when the team returns from London.

The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. Eric Snow Jersey . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. For the 336th time in the series, Jason Holder ran up to the bowling crease. The 335 previous times, he had powered through the crease with hope and expectation, followed through, and gone back to the top of his run-up, or to the umpire to retrieve his floppy hat, a wicketless bowler.In the overs preceding this one, he had come closer than ever. Three times he had appealed loudly, perhaps even confidently, after striking Ajinkya Rahanes front pad. All three times, Aleem Dar had shaken his head. And, on closer examination, he seemed to have made the right decision each time.Apart from the incoming deliveries, Holder had also bowled a few that had gone the other way. Twice in one over, he had nipped the ball past Rahanes outside edge.All these close shaves had occurred in the space of eight straight overs Holder had delivered from the Michael Holding End, named after a man who took a wicket every 50.9 balls he bowled in Test cricket. At that rate, Holding would have taken 6.58 wickets in 335 balls.Whether the 0.58 was no wicket or an extra wicket might have depended on the umpire at his end.Holders 336th ball of the series, in the ninth over of his Monday-morning spell from the Michael Holding End, came back in off the pitch, and kept a shade low. Wriddhiman Saha, going back and across to defend, couldnt bring his bat down quickly enough, or along the right line, to keep the ball from hitting his back pad.Holder appealed. Aleem Dar raised his finger. Replays, with the benefit of imaginary lines drawn along the length of the pitch, suggested only a fraction of the ball had struck the pad in front of off stump. Umpires call, and it was out according to this umpire. Bowling from Dars end, Holding might have had seven wickets rather than six in 335 balls.Nonetheless, the wicket was fair reward for an unflagging spell of probing seam bowling. It was reward for Holders persistence right through Indias innings. On Sunday morning, he had bowled a relentless fifth-stump line to KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara, and had earned their respect - Pujara, who made 46, only scored one run off the 38 balls he faced from Holder - but not their wickets.By the time India declared, Holders figures reflected the respect all of Indias batsmen had shown him: 34.2-12-72-1, and an economy rate of 2.09. He had played a large part in India scoring at less than three an over through their innings, and as a consequence needing to spend more time at the crease than they may have desired in order to build the lead they wanted.In a Test match that has lost 43 overs to rain, and is expected to lose even more time on the fourth and fifth days, West Indies bowling discipline, exemplified by Holder, their captain, could prove the difference between losing and drawing, or at least between losing and having a fighting chance of drawing.ddddddddddddBefore the start of the series, Holder had defined himself - and Carlos Brathwaite - as a workhorse. Here he had played the role as well as he could have.But he had taken only one wicket, and his economy rate was down in large part to a pitch that continued to offer bounce and seam movement even halfway into day three. His bowling at Sabina Park had showcased both his strengths and his limitations.In the first Test in Antigua, on a pitch that offered the fast bowlers bounce but little else, he had looked a lot less impressive. Bowling with control but little incision, he had ended the first day with figures of 0 for 41 in 17 overs. At the start of day two, against two set batsmen in Virat Kohli and R Ashwin, even his good-length balls went for boundaries in a four-over spell that cost him 30 runs.Right from the start of his career, Holder has looked like an international cricketer, whether hes running up to bowl or driving down the ground with that combination of orthodox technique and extreme reach. But he has always looked like a fourth seamer, a batsman with the potential to bat at No. 6, and perhaps someone who could captain the side after gaining a little more experience. Instead, he has usually been West Indies third seamer, or sometimes even a new-ball bowler, batted at No. 8, and captained them.England have done something similar with Moeen Ali, and attempted to convert a middle-order batsman who bowls handy offspin into a frontline spinner who bats at No. 8. It has not always worked, but England play most of their Test cricket on pitches where their spinner does not need to bowl long spells. Their attack also contains four Test-class fast bowlers, one of whom also bats in the top six.West Indies are not blessed with those resources. Holder - and Brathwaite, when he plays - does not have that sort of cushion around him. By squeezing him into this uneasy situation, West Indies have simply reduced the impact one of their more talented players could be making. Holder has worked hard to be everything he is asked to be, but he, and his team, will probably be better off if hes just allowed to be himself. ' ' '
