Brown’s first slap landed smack on one woman’s face and the other slap landed on the other woman’s arm causing minor scratches. As a result of his extra-curricular activities, Brown was arrested...

For example, if you wear eye black, you cannot use words, only solid black; during pregame warm-ups, there must be no opposing players between the 45-yard lines beginning 60 minutes before kickoff; and, there is the elimination of the intentional “wedge” on kickoffs and punts.
