He has broken every unwritten code, not just in football, but in all of sports. He felt that he was bigger than the game……and now to revel in it while at the same time aligning himself against his former employer in of all things a lawsuit aimed at the NFL’s lack of regard for head injuries.

Unbelievable…..but worse still is his current employers disregard for the integrity of the game. ESPN should dismiss him NOW and suspend Ms Champion and all other talking heads for condoning such bush league tactics.

The comissioner handed out severe punishments for the lack of regard for the integrity of the game in New Orleans and while the former commish sold him out; at least Mr Goddell stood for something that Mr Brown will never understand….honesty…..integrity….and a sense that the name on the front of the proverbial jersey is of far greater importance than the name on the back.

There’s some hard hitting sports journalism right there.

So for stupidity alone, he deserves the flack he’s getting.

The only reason he’s even voicing regret is that he’s taking a lot of flack from all angles. Can you imagine all the former QB’s (analyst) at ESPN that are giving him the cold shoulder now???

He’s trying to get that hot light off of himself. He really doesn’t regret what he did. I’d be impressed if he stuck to his guns and didn’t apologize.

That should’ve been done during that radio interview, when he first made the comments.
A simple, “ya know, I’ve been carrying something around with me the past 18 years that I want to get off my chest: I allowed Scott Mitchell to get hit so he would be hurt and knocked out of a game and, for that, I am regretful.”
Instead Brown stammered and stuttered throughout his“regret mumblings” to Jay Crawford on Sports Center…
The only “regrets” that Brown has is saying anything in the first place. ESPN truly needs to fire this guy immediately.

I’m betting that it happens more than a lot of people think. I don’t think Brown was the first, and I doubt if he’ll be the last.

It’s just sad to learn how dysfunctional those teams really were. With Lomas, Spielman, Sanders, Moore, Porcher, Glover you would figure that there was quality leadership in place.

Open mouth, insert foot, and suffer from athletic stupidity. Too bad he can’t treat his brain as easily as he might treat a fungal infection.

There are a lot of things that you can do in football that you can’t do out of football. Missing a block on purpose is one such thing…it happens at all levels of football. It sucks when a guy gets hurt but in the case of Scott Mitchell…the guy was a sack…stereotypical meathead jackass football player…as Archie Bunker once asked…would it make you feel better if he was pushed out of a moving car? Football is cut-throat and if a guy misses a block on a sack of crap QB…he misses a block.

ESPN is like “sports talk for dummies”. The only good thing they produce are their short films. Some executives over there seriously need to be fired. It’s worse than TMZ these days or the very worst of MTV (saying that, I will admit I have not watched MTV in many years, just aware of some if its lame and idiotic programming).

Is anyone else even near stupid enough to buy such an argument. It’s pathetic. He is not a man, but a simpleton idiot, which is why is he on that show. It’s show of simpletons for simpletons.

That guy who played football but was never a football player?

You turned in your “football player card” already Lomas, there is no getting it back.

Get him off the air because NOBODY cares what some honourless goof say to say on any subject

Yeah, he is black and Mitchell was white. And what? What kind of non-sense is it to suggest that it was racially motivated or that if the roles were reversed there would be some sort of public outcry? It is pretty sad to see the constant playing of the race card by folks that seem to miss the good old days of real racism.

Is it a bad thing to lay down on the job? Yes, it is. These guys get paid a lot of money and should carry themselves with some professionalism. Is it a bad thing to desire an injury in someone else? Very much so, especially considering the preexisting relationship. Is it the first or only time that is has ever happened, I have my doubts.

It was definitely a classless thing to do, and bragging out it is even lower. I don’t think it is a reason to crucify the guy, though. He intentionally missed a block. If he hadn’t, this is the Lions from the Barry Sanders Era and someone was missing a block soon anyway.

First there was Stephen A. Smith using the N-word then lying about it although everyone heard and saw it, Rob Parker gives a diatribe basically calling RG3 an Uncle Tom and stating clearly that black people shouldn’t date white people or be Republican and now Lomas Brown admits that he helped injure HIS OWN TEAM MATE because he thought he was doing a bad job at QB.

ESPN hasn’t gotten rid of any of them. What kind of show is it where Skip Bayless is the most respectable panelist?

No reason to get someone intentionally hurt when you are paid to protect them.

You damaged your own reputation – something ESPN can’t even bail you out on. More importantly, you have jeopardized your entire lawsuit against the NFL.
