Seattle-area sheriff fires back at NFL over Brown

A Washington sheriff shot back at the NFL over a statement it made about how his office handled information requests into a domestic violence investigation against New York Giants kicker Josh Brown.

The NFL stated that its investigators had repeatedely attempted to obtain more information on Brown but was denied by the King County sheriff John Urquhart's office. Urquhart went on the defensive and told Seattle radio station KIRO that the investigator never identified himself as being part of the league.

"Nowhere on the request does he say that he works for the NFL and so, we don't know that it's the NFL and we're not gonna give it out anyway, so we denied it," Urquhart said.
