In light of the NFL's mishandling of the Josh Brown domestic violence case, ESPN analyst and former New England Patriots LB Tedy Bruschi had some choice words about the league on Sunday.
Bruschi suggested that the NFL's inconsistencies this season have been mind-boggling—-from the firm policing of the innocuous, like touchdown celebrations and player dress codes, to the ineptitude it's displayed in dealing with more serious matters like domestic violence.
"Players are frustrated, former players are frustrated about the inconsistencies that they've had," Bruschi said. "They've said it best. You'd think we've gotten past any type of gray area after Ray Rice. Right now, I'm just numb to the incompetence of the NFL. They missed (the Josh Brown case) it up again.

The NFL initially suspended Brown for the first game of the 2016 season, stemming from a domestic violence case in May of 2015, for which he was arrested but never charged. The league placed Brown on the commissioner's exempt list last week after the discovery of documents that show the Giants kicker admitted to physically, verbally and emotionally abusing his ex-wife.
According to ESPN, by being placed on the commissioner's exempt list, Brown will be paid his base salary of approximately $1.15 million and is permitted to attend the Giants facility "for meetings, individual workouts, therapy and rehabilitation, and other permitted non-football activities."
