Radio and television sportscaster Jim Brandstatter talks about his dismissal from Lions football broadcasts and his love of Michigan football. Daniel Mears, The Detroit News
Commerce Township – It has been nearly a month since Jim Brandstatter was unceremoniously fired by WJR as the Detroit Lions’ analyst on radio broadcasts, a job he had held for 31 years. And after the initial sting, he’s fine, just fine, thank you.
He will continue working Michigan games as the play-by-play radio announcer, calling them with fellow former Michigan offensive lineman Dan Dierdorf.
