Detroit — Peyton and Eli Manning have some simulcast competition.
The Detroit Lions fired up an alternate broadcast of their own for Friday night’s preseason opener against the New York Giants at Ford Field, featuring a whole host of Detroit-centric guests.
Lions general manager Brad Holmes, former Lions Golden Tate and Glover Quin and Red Wings legend Darren McCarty, amongst others, joined NFL analyst Peter Schrager for the alternate broadcast on DetroitLions.com.
First things first, Holmes was finally able to comment on his new signing at quarterback. The Lions on Friday officially announced the signing of longtime backup Teddy Bridgewater, giving security to the quarterback position in a critical season.
