Detroit Lions host former radio guy Jim Brandstatter for Packers game

For the first time in what has be decades, Jim Brandstatter attended a Detroit Lions game ... as a fan.

The former longtime radio analyst for the Lions, Brandstatter was unceremoniously fired from his post during the offseason.

But, Brandstatter posted a thank-you note on Twitter on Monday after his experience the day before as the Lions beat the Packers, 31-23.

"Great day yesterday...invited to Lions game by team president Rod Wood, got to visit with Mrs Ford, great lady, Lions won. And was presented a very nice game ball. Really nice!
