Lions' Home Finale Blacked Out
For the fifth time this season, the Lions will be blacked out on local TV. Sunday’s Lions game against New Orleans will be blacked out on local television after the team failed to reach a sellout by today’s 1 p.m. deadline. The team did not announce how many tickets remained for the...
Lions Blacked Out Again
I hope you all enjoyed being able to watch a Lions home game on TV last week, because this Sunday it's back to a blackout. As expected, the Lions didn't even come close to selling out Sunday's game against the Vikings. There were around 7,000 tickets left when the deadline to reach a sellout...
Lions Sellout Thanksgiving Game
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...
Thanksgiving Game Almost Sold Out
As I alluded to in the recap of yesterday's debacle, the Thanksgiving game between the Lions and Titans is almost sold out. According to the Lions, less than 1,000 tickets are available for the game, meaning a sellout is all but certain at this point. But the NFL has granted the team a 24-hour...

Thursday Notes: Culpepper to Start on Sunday
Daunte Culpepper will start against the Panthers on Sunday. Also from the above link, Dan Orlovsky isn't going to have surgery in the immediate future and will take a wait and see approach to the situation. I still think he'll be put on the IR before the end of the season, but I guess we, like...
Another Home Game, Another Blackout
Unsurprisingly, Sunday's game against the Jaguars will likely be blacked out. 7,000 tickets remain for the game, and with the deadline to sell them approaching, a blackout is all but official at this point. The Lions can only get a 24-hour extension to sell the unsold tickets if they are close...
Lions-Redskins Game Officially Blacked Out
Since there are still around 5,000 tickets available for Sunday's game between the Lions and Redskins, the NFL denied a request that would have given the Lions 24 more hours to reach a sellout. That decision essentially ended the Lions' sellout streak, meaning the game will be blacked out locally....
