While he previously referred to the incident that led to his one-game suspension as a "single moment," New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted that he abused his ex-wife multiple times, police documents revealed.

According to the documents obtained by Jame Kratch of NJ.com, Brown, who was suspended for the Giants' season opener due to his domestic abuse, admitted to multiple levels of spousal abuse in a contract summarizing his "offenses" signed in 2013.

"I have physically, mentally, emotionally, and verbally been a repulsive man," the court obtained 2013 journal entries from Brown stated. " ... I have abused my wife ... I may need an anger counselor."

Brown's then-wife also submitted journal entries backing up the kicker's admission that he "pushes, shoves hits me because I challenge him" and justified it by saying that "women like me get hit because we can't shut up."

The 37-year-old was arrested in May 2015 on a charge of domestic violence, but an investigation by the King County Sheriff Department in Washington recommended that two charges of fourth-degree domestic violence be laid against Brown.

The Giants stuck by Brown when his suspension was announced prior to the season and faced criticism for retaining him. With the new evidence being revealed, the NFL and the team could reopen an investigation to dish out further punishment for Brown.
