When Lomas Brown was a broadcaster for ESPN, he once interviewed a tiger.
But broadcasting the Detroit Lions’ 42-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday might have been stranger than trying to get a good quote out of a jungle cat.
That’s because Sunday’s game was played in Green Bay, Wisconsin, but Brown and the rest of the five-person 760 WJR-AM team broadcastfrom a third-floor suite on the 50-yard line of a empty Ford Field.
Brown, the analyst for the broadcast, and Dan Miller, the play-by-play announcer, spent the game looking at three monitors that displayed different video feeds.
