As the NFL heads into Week 7, no story is dominating the headlines quite like Giants’ kicker Josh Brown.
Brown has admitted to physically, verbally and mentally abusing his ex-wife Molly Brown, upwards of 20 times. The Giants have stood by their kicker, and so has the NFL, up until this week.
The league put Brown on the commissioner’s exempt list after new police documents emerged on Wednesday — documents the Giants and the league claimed they hadn’t seen. Brown will still be paid on the exempt list, while players around the league continue to get fined for dancing after touchdowns.
The Giants were aware that Brown abused his wife at the Pro Bowl and did nothing about it, until now. He did not travel with the team to London for this week’s game.
The way the NFL and the Giants have handled the whole situation has stirred up a ton of emotions from players around the league, including the 49ers’ Torrey Smith.

Smith is questionable Sunday against the Buccaneers with a back injury.
