Lomas Brown

Template:NFLretired Lomas Brown Jr. (born May 30, 1963 in Miami, Florida) is a former American football offensive tackle for the National Football League. He played college football at the University of Florida in the early 1980s, where he anchored what was dubbed "The Great Wall of Florida" in 1984. In his long professional career he played for the Detroit Lions (1985-1995), Arizona Cardinals (1996-1998), Cleveland Browns (1999), New York Giants (2000-2001), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002), with whom he won a Super Bowl before retiring. Brown was named to the NFC Pro Bowl team seven times, every year following the 1990-96 seasons. Since his retirement he has spent some time with the NFL Network and ESPNEWS as an analyst and also co-hosts a sports radio show in Detroit for WXYT-FM.

He is also a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

He is currently an analyst on ESPN First Take and is a "co-host" of the segment "Law offices of Brooks and Brown." On an episode that aired October 1st, 2009, Mr. Brown referred to the Houston Texans star middle-linebacker as "DeMarco" Ryans. On another malapropism Brown reveled in the potential "gutty-gutty" nature of the oft injured quaterback Matt Hasselback of the Seattle Seahawks. This was much to the chagrin of the producers who cut these gaffes from the later airing of this segment. Both teams were Brown's picks to make a run at the playoffs.
