Most remember him for the flag incident in a '99 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in which his eye was severely damaged by a refs flag. Solid player during his time in the NFL.

MATH FAIL.Orlando “Zeus” Brown (December 12, 1970 – September 23, 2011) was 30 years old.
I do remember thinking it sucked that his career was essentially destroyed by a ref being too fucking stupid to not wing his flag right at a player's head. I would have applauded if he'd shattered Triplett's face instead of just knocked him down. Or really shown him the meaning of "an eye for an eye".

Absolutely a MATH FAIL. LOL C'mon, cut me some slack, the 3 is right next to the 4. Besides, it was up to my editor to catch that. I'll have to point that out, LMAO. Still very very sad.Heretic;908042 wrote:MATH FAIL.

It's crazy thinking that the flag incident was in 99. It seems like it was more recent.
