For the first time in three home games, the Lions have achieved a sellout.
The Lions have avoided their first non-sellout of a Thanksgiving Day game in more than a decade, which means the game against Tennessee at 12:30 p.m. Thursday will be broadcast in local television markets on CBS (Channel 62 in Detroit).
With fewer than 1,000 tickets left unsold at Monday's deadline, the Lions were granted a 24-hour extension by the NFL. A Lions' spokesman said some tickets remain for the game after the Titans returned some of their allotment.
Even though the game is sold out, make sure to check in at Pride of Detroit on Thursday during the game to talk about everything that is happening.

I'll finally get to watch my first Lions game this year on a real TV.
Living by Louisville, I’ll probably get to watch them against the Colts in a few weeks as well. I just hope they play reasonably well tomorrow and don’t look too bad on the national stage.
"It's probably similar to being in New York City and having a cab driver behind you and you're driving too slow. It's not the most pleasant thing."
Barry Sanders, on what defensive backs who played against him compared him to.

Ugly game
I love to hear Machiavelli, or Marinelli, talk about how proud he is of this team and how he looks forward to being in the national spotlight on Thanksgiving. His optimism is making my stomach turn at this point – just shut up, say we suck and admit that you failed and move on. Regardless, does any of us have any hope this won’t be a blowout? It will, trust me.
