EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants have started discussions about placekicker Josh Brown and his future with the team a day after returning from a game in London.Coach Ben McAdoo said Monday that the teams front office met to talk about Brown, and that he would probably join those talks either later in the evening or on Tuesday morning.The NFL placed Brown on paid leave Friday after the kicker disclosed in journals and emails released by authorities in the state of Washington that he abused his then-wife.The Giants did not allow Brown to leave with them Thursday for London for Sundays 17-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams.Being placed on Commissioner Roger Goodells exempt list means Brown cannot attend practices or Giants games but can go to teams headquarters for meetings and workouts.McAdoo said Brown was not there Monday, a day the players had off. He also said he does not expect the 37-year-old to be at the facility Tuesday, when the players meet for the final time before a bye-week vacation.The first-year coach would not say whether he wanted Browns status with the team determined before the players return from their break next Monday.Again, Ill take part in those discussions either later tonight or tomorrow morning early and Ill jump in with both feet and well see how it goes, McAdoo said.Browns future has overshadowed everything to do with the team following Wednesdays release of police records which contained the players written admissions that he physically abused his wife, Molly, over a protracted period. She told police in the documents released by the King County Sheriffs Office that the abuse and other threatening behavior stretched from 2009, when she was pregnant with their daughter, to the Pro Bowl in January 2016.Brown was arrested in May 2015 on a domestic abuse charge, and his then-wife sought and was granted a temporary protection order against her husband.The order was reissued several times until July 24, 2015 when the order was terminated by the court at Molly Browns request.At the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Browns wife said she called NFL security to move her and her three children to another hotel to avoid harassment from her estranged husband. She said he had pounded on their hotel door seeking to get in. The allegation is included in the final report filed last month by the local investigating detective, Robin Ostrum.Browns former wife did not respond to messages last week seeking comment from The Associated Press. A law firm representing the kicker declined to comment.The NFLs official policy is to suspend players guilty of domestic abuse for six games on their first offense. Brown was suspended for one game, the Giants season-opening victory over the Dallas Cowboys, in punishment for his 2015 arrest at his family home in Woodinville, Washington.The arrest report said he assaulted his wife by grabbing one of her wrists as she tried to reach for a phone, leaving an abrasion and bruising. No charges were filed, but a detective gathered detailed statements from Molly Brown, who also provided her husbands written admissions of abuse in diary and email entries.The NFL said its investigators asked to see these records but were denied. The league has said it has reopened its investigation into Brown and he could face further punishment.Brown, who told the media in August that his arrest in 2015 was a one-time issue, was re-signed to a two-year, $4 million contract in April despite the teams knowledge of his arrest and the Pro Bowl incident.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Jordan Outlet Canada .

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. Australian rugby is on its knees, with the Wallabies out to avoid a soul-destroying record-equalling seventh straight defeat when they host the Springboks in Brisbane. Having barely fired an attacking shot in two heavy defeats by the All Blacks, missed 40 and 30 tackles in Sydney and Wellington respectively, and won just over half off of their lineout ball, Michael Cheikas side are well down on confidence and form in almost every aspect of the game. Injuries to Matt Giteau, Matt Toomua and Rob Horne certainly havent helped the situation, while Cheikas persistence with the Pooper back-row combination is the hot selection topic, drawing impassioned responses from Wallabies greats Nathan Sharpe and Toutai Kefu.Its hardly sunshine and rainbows in the Springboks camp, though. Coach Allister Coetzee has made a 3-2 start to his tenure, most recently splitting a pair of Tests with the Pumas in what were tight encounters. Coetzee is trying to develop South Africas game from the one-dimensional 10-man style of his predecessor Heyneke Meyer, and has entrusted Lions halves pairing Faf de Klerk and Elton Jantjies to run the show. But they still remain a huge force up front, with locks Eben Etzebeth and Lood de Jager, and back-rowers Francois Louw and Warren Whiteley, all capable of wreaking further havoc on Australias lineout.Team newsAustraliaCheika has stuck to his guns in retaining Hooper and Pocock in the back-row, but he has sprung a surprise at blindside with the selection of Dean Mumm. That sees Scott Fardy once again dropped from the side, with the pack otherwise unchanged from Wellington. There is just one change to the backline, too, with Reece Hodge set to earn just his second cap after Adam Ashley-Cooper was called back to French club Bordeaux.Israel Folau, Dane Haylett-Petty, Samu Kerevi, Bernard Foley, Reece Hodge , Quade Cooper , Will Genia , David Pocock Michael Hooper , Dean Mumm , Adam Coleman , Kane Douglas, Sekope Kepu , Stephen Moore (captain), Scott Sio Replacements: Tatafu Polota-Nau, James Slipper, Allan Alaalatoa, Rory Arnold, Lopeti Timani, Sean McMahon, Nick Phipps, Tevita Kuridrani, Drew Mitchell (One to be omitted).South AfricaThe Springboks will field a new centre combination with Juan de Jongh and Jesse Kriel replacing Damian de Allende and Lionel Mapoe at No. 12 and No. 13 respectively. Kriel, 22, scored a try on his Test debut in Brisbane last year while Coetzee has opted for another strike weapon on the wing in the form of the versatile Francois Hougaard. Up front, prop Lourens Adriaanse is the only change to the pack.Johan Goosen, Bryan Habana, Jesse Kriel, Juan de Jongh, Francois Hougaard, Elton Jantjies, Faf de Klerk; Warren Whiteley, Oupa Mahoje, Francois Louw, Lood de Jager, Eben Etzebeth, Lourens Adriaanse, Adriaan Strauss (captain), Tendai Mtawarira. Reserves: Bongi Mbonambi, Steven Kitshoff, Trevor Nyakane, Franco Mostert, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Jaco Kriel, Morne Steyn, Lionel Mapoe.Key match-up: Dean Mumm vs. Francois LouwThere is little left to discuss when it comes to the Wallabies lineout, with opinions seemingly split three wways as to whether the problem lies with Stephen Moores throwing, the lock combination itself or the Pooper setup in the back-row.dddddddddddd Whatever the case, Cheika is banking on Mumms ability to right the horrors from the Bledisloe Cup and ensure the Wallabies lineout is up around the 90 percent mark, rather than 65. It will want to be, as Mumm is struggling to have much of an impact around the park nowadays and doesnt carry the ball-running frame of opposite number Louw.While Louw wears the No. 6 on his back, he is more of a 6 ? with Coetzee relying on him to offer a similar ball-poaching threat to openside Oupa Mahoje. But its with ball in hand where the Bath man does most of his damage. Louws 1.90m and 115kg frame make him an imposing ball carrier and an often brutal defender, and in a real concern for the Wallabies, he completes a four-man lineout threat, too.Key stats (Opta Stats)Overall, the Wallabies have won eight of their nine games against South Africa at Suncorp Stadium, including their biggest ever victory over the Springboks in July 2006 (49-0).Bryan Habanas try against Argentina meant he overtook David Campese (64) as the top try scorer for any Tier One nation and he sits just four tries behind Daisuke Ohata (69) as the top international try scorer in history.David Pocock has won five turnovers in the competition so far, two more than any other player.WeatherBrisbane is headed for a cloudy Saturday with a chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening. It could be a rather uncomfortable, sweaty environment come kick-off.UBET verdict: The Wallabies opened as favourites at $1.62, and while their form suggests they shouldnt be that short, the early money has in fact been for South Africa. The Wallabies are coming off two humiliating losses to New Zealand while South Africa were fortunate to score a late converted try at home to beat the Pumas 30-23 before losing in Argentina a week later. This Saturday they meet at Suncorp in Brisbane, where they met last year during the Rugby Championship; on that occasion the Wallabies got home 24-20. Interesting match. The Wallabies will be desperate for a win to appease the critics, but the punters are saying they may have their work cut out.PredictionThis match could be decided in the opening 10 minutes, such will be the importance of the opening few lineouts. If Australia lose a couple of early balls on their own throw, then it could well be another long night -- one which ends in a disastrous seventh straight defeat. If, however, they can win their own set-piece, and if they have fixed the defensive woes from the Bledisloe Cup, then Hooper and Pocock may start to resemble the combination that was so effective in England last year. Will Genia has been in superb form. If Quade Cooper can free up Israel Folau, and Australia are able to contain the Springboks midfield threat, then Wallabies fans should finally breathe a sigh of relief late Saturday night.Australia by one.
