Amid Josh Brown fiasco, Roger Goodell says public has 'misunderstanding' of NFL punishment

Roger Goodell doesn't give many interviews, and even when he does, he has a knack of not saying much. That was the case Friday when he spoke to BBC Sport about the league's handling of Giants kicker Josh Brown's domestic violence case.

When asked about the case, the NFL commissioner essentially echoed the league's statement from Thursday.

"Well you have to go and get the facts. We have asked repeatedly for those facts and the information that’s been gathered by law enforcement both orally and in writing. And we weren't able to get access to it," Goodell told BBC Sport.
