Via Down And Distance:
Former Detroit Lions offensive tackle Lomas Brown confessed on ESPN Radio Friday that he once purposely missed a block because he wanted the man he was supposed to block, Green Bay Packers defensive end Sean Jones, to injure Lions quarterback Scott Mitchell. Via Pro Football Talk:
In an interview on ESPN Radio, Brown said that in a 1994 game, he purposely whiffed on Jones so that Jones could get a clean shot on Mitchell. Sure enough, Brown got his intended result, as Mitchell was knocked out of the game.
“We were playing Green Bay in Milwaukee,” Brown said. “We were getting beat, 24-3, at that time and he just stunk up the place. He’s throwing interceptions, just everything. So I looked at Kevin Glover, our All-Pro center and I said, ‘Glove, that is it.’ I said, ‘I’m getting him out the game.’ . . . So I got the gator arms on the guy at the last minute, he got around me, he hit Scott Mitchell, he did something to his finger . . . and he came out the game. [Lions backup quarterback] Dave Krieg came in the game.”
Host Ryen Russillo expressed shock that Brown would admit such a thing, but Brown showed no remorse.
“As you can tell, I’m just not a big fan of Scott Mitchell. He’s just not on my Christmas list. He won’t be getting any Christmas presents from me this year,” Brown said.
If Brown were an NFL player today you would expect a fine to follow this confession.
Why Brown would ever admit this is beyond me. Admitting that you wanted a teammate to get hurt seems a tad bit childish to me.
If you asked Brown about my opinion, he wouldn’t care.
