EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Sergi Roberto Barcelona Jersey .J. -- The NFL says the former wife of suspended New York Giants placekicker Josh Brown turned down multiple requests to speak to the league about her allegations of being the victim of repeated domestic violence.In a statement issued Friday, the league said that it conducted a 10-month investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Brown in May 2015 in Woodinville, Wash., on a fourth-degree domestic violence charge.In the course of the investigation, the league said its investigators became aware that Browns wife had filed a statement with the county court alleging previous altercations between the spouses.Despite multiple attempts to speak with her about this incident and her previous statements, she declined to speak with us, the league said. We understand that there are many reasons that might have affected her decision not to speak with us, but we were limited in our ability to investigate these allegations.The NFL added that local law enforcement officers also declined to provide information on the case and previous allegations.Brown, who was suspended by the league for the opening game of the regular season, admitted Thursday that he grabbed his wifes wrist in the incident that led to his arrest. He called it a momentary thing.The King County prosecutors office investigated the case and did not file a charge, saying there was insufficient evidence.After its investigation, the NFL said it had insufficient information to corroborate prior allegations.In addition, no criminal charges were brought forward regarding the incident in question or prior allegations, the league said.The NFL therefore made a decision based on the evidentiary findings around this one incident as provided to us by the District Attorney.The league said it suspended Brown for a game because he had violated the personal conduct policy.We did so based on the evidence of this one incident as presented in the police report, Mr. Brown and his wifes statements to police that evening, and his statements in interviews with the NFL, the league said Friday.The personal conduct policy allows for discipline to be imposed even when criminal charges are not presented. It also allows the league to consider both aggravating and mitigating factors regarding discipline for domestic violence.After reviewing the evidence in this one incident, we imposed a one-game suspension for violation of the personal conduct policy, the league said.Browns appeal of the decision was turned down and the league announced his suspension on Wednesday.The 37-year-old will be allowed to practice with the Giants in training camp, but he will be suspended for the opening week, when the Giants are in Dallas.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Thomas Vermaelen Barcelona Jersey .

By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. http:///...si-Barcelona-Jersey/ . LUCIE, Fla.CHICAGO -- Brandon Phillips and Homer Bailey were all the Cincinnati Reds needed to recover from a tough weekend. Phillips hit a grand slam and matched his career high with six RBIs and Bailey pitched eight strong innings, and the Reds extended their dominance over the Chicago Cubs with a 6-2 win Monday night in foggy conditions at Wrigley Field. Across town, the Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays were delayed over an hour because of dense fog but the Cubs and Reds were never halted. The Reds were in a hurry to rebound from a weekend series loss to NL Central-leading St. Louis. The Cardinals had lost four of five overall. "We were embarrassed over the weekend, personally and as an organization and as a team," manager Dusty Baker said. "Well get them again many, many times." The Reds dont play St. Louis again until Aug. 2-4, and before then will have to be content with beating the Cubs, something they do regularly. Cincinnati has won 10 straight at Wrigley Field, eight of 10 over the overall this season, and 17 of the teams last 20 matchups. On Monday, all the Reds runs were driven in by Phillips, who had an RBI single in the first, connected off Scott Feldman (5-5) in the third and an RBI groundout in the eighth for his fourth-career game of six RBIs. Phillips had been 2 for his last 12 but hit his 152nd home run as a Reds second baseman, tying Joe Morgan for the most by a second baseman in team history. His six RBIs gave him 615, surpassing Morgans 612 for the most as a Cincinnati second baseman. "It just means Ive been over here too long to do that because Joe Morgan is the best second baseman to play this game," Phillips said. "For me to be in the same category as him, its an honour." Bailey (4-4) didnt make any history, but he gave Cincinnati exactly what it needed and picked up his first win since May 25 against the Cubs. He gave up one unearned run and four hits while striking out eight to improve to 7-2 against Chicago, which fell to 7-19 in the NL Central. Bailey threw 120 pitches, his second most of the season and third 100-plus pitch start of the season, sparing a bullpen that worked four innings in Sundays 11-4, 10-inning loss to the Cardinals. Going deep into the game and trying to save the bullpen wasnt on Baileys mind, however. "If you do that youre not going to make it out of the fourth," Bailey said. "I just wanted to be aggressive and try to be very efficient.&qquot; Feldmans night wasnt as good. Denis Suarez Jersey. He pitched six innings and allowed five runs and seven hits to lose his first decision since May 24 at Cincinnati, the other time hes allowed five earned runs this season. Unfortunately for Feldman, the Reds did not have trouble in the fog. The Cubs lost for the sixth time in eight games since a five-game winning streak. "I was hoping it would make it harder for them to pick up the ball," Feldman said. "Apparently it didnt work." Baker said he lost track of Luis Valbuenas fly ball to left during the bottom of the first that was caught by Xavier Paul, and he and Cubs manager Dale Sveum had doubts whether the game would continue. "Obviously it couldnt get any worse otherwise youd have to stop it," Sveum said "It was borderline as it was." There was no doubt about how much Cincinnati needed to win Monday after a tough weekend against a team Phillips called the best in baseball. "For us to come out and play the way we did today, its awesome," Phillips said. "We bounced back from a loss, a tough loss we had at home. We just came here and got key hits in key situations, and got a win. NOTES: The Reds announced before Mondays game they will call up LHP Tony Cingrani to start Tuesday. Cingrani (2-0, 3.27) will start in place of Johnny Cueto, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list June 5, retroactive to June 1, with a strained right shoulder. Cingrani will face Matt Garza (1-0, 4.03). ... The Reds announced they have signed first-round pick Phillip Ervin, an outfielder taken with the 27th overall selection, from Samford University. . Shin-Soo Choo was hit to lead off the game, his NL-leading 18th time getting hit by a pitch. ... Starlin Castro went 1 for 4 and is 4 for his last 42. ...

RHP Kyuji Fujikawa is in Birmingham, Ala., and is expected to have Tommy John surgery Tuesday. . Baker said "as far as Im its concerned its over" and Sveum said theres "nothing to that situation" when asked about the teams May 26 game in Cincinnati.
